New Drug Rules Could Harm Patients - Your Viewpoint and Solutions?

Yes, more people will be at risk if they turn to illegal drugs.

So heroin use mimics Parkinson disease...interesting info.

Thank you so much for articulate and pertinent contribution to the thread.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you a true scholar, such a valuable asset to GLP and dare I say, the world.

Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend AC.

Just peruse this search for doctors indicted in florida

Hundreds of doctors indicted for supplying the illicit
drug market by over-prescribing to mules who carry the
narcotics all over america for resale.

So these few make it harder and more complicated for those doctors, who are legit.

Also, making it harder for those, who truly need pain meds and are being ridiculed.

Doctors are frightened and patients are frightened.

It is not only the FDA, who is making it unbearable for many, it is some doctors and drug mules.

The whole system is breaking down, and I do not know what the answer is.

Those people who are taking pain meds must be very careful in not abusing them.

I have been on long term narcotic pain management for over ten years. The dose has not escalated. I do not get high off the drugs. They just stop the pain enough that I can walk - which I could not do before we found a combo that worked.

Most docs use these drugs appropriately and carefully. Most patients getting their meds at a pharmacy are not drug addicts or abusers.

The relationship between a doctor and patient and interference in that decision making process is nothing short of criminal on the part of the FDA.

With all the drugs sold on the streets every day in America, you would think the FDA would come up with a better use of their time and money - but legitimate patients are a far easier target than are drug dealers on the streets.

Very well said!
:hyd:

have to say that as a strategy for keeping the citizenry down, withholding the most effective pain medications is a winner. sounds devilishly military doesn't it

Only a very specific synthetic heroin that somehow made its way into the drug supply.A synthetic that turned out to be as good for people as the synthetic pot "incense" products.

This ties in with the idea that TPTB might contaminate, or in this case, completely substitute other drugs for drugs of abuse in order to be able to experiment on expendable members of the population.

Not just adding toxins like Parquat to weed to "kill the dirty hippies", but a sort of illegal clinical trial.

Yes, it does.

When I have heard of "street drugs" I always wonder how anyone can "do" them, due to the fact they could easily be contaminated.

Watch someone else try it first. That's what friends are for but yea it can be a crap shoot, especially if you don't know the source.

Yeah, I could never do street drugs. I am too scared of germs.

One of the major causes of death from street heroin is not overdosing but heart infections from all the bacteria in the product.

Driving chronic pain patients to heroin is a great way to backdoor a Action T4

Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart. If left untreated, it is fatal. There are two disease types: Acute Infectious Endocarditis and Subacute Infectious Endocarditis. They are caused by different strains of bacteria and progress at different rates. The subacute form is most common. It is caused by a Streptoccus bacterium (the same thing that causes Strep Throat) called Streptoccus viridans. If untreated it will kill you within a year. The acute form of Endocarditis is caused by a couple of different bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus hemolyticus. It will kill you in about a month.

The bacteria adhere to the inner lining of the heart--the endocardium. Once there, they grow. These bacterial colonies become very large and pieces of them break off and enter the circulatory system. These bacterial "particles" then get trapped in various places in the body. Because of this, you will have some indication that you should see a doctor. The symptoms are: Petechiae in the skin, blood in the urine, and a long-term low-grade fever.

OMG...this is awful!
