Recreational drugs, including cocaine and heroin, are responsible for an estimated 10,000-20,000 American deaths per year [1,2].

I have been trying to open the eyes of friends and family for years to the truth that 'legal' drugs are as dangerous as 'illegal' ones. &amp;nbsp;I believe paracetamol on its own kills more people than heroin a year in the UK. The real moral issue here is that people believe they are safe and they are not, that the medical and pharmaceutical industry have their best interest at heart, they do not. We frown on and look down at those individuals who use illegal drugs, but not on those who throw back alcohol and anti-depressants for the same reasons. Carol&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recently I watched two DVDs that will blow your mind. Now, taking into consideration a third film, I guess these numbers relay the actuality of it all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have three films to suggest in order:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(1) The Corporation (on google video)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(2) Sicko&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(3) In Lies We Trust: CIA, Hollywood, and Bioterrorism (also on google video)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Katie! Pass that blunt girl... LOL&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those still reading, the 3rd film will lead you to believe that the people that created it are mad! That is not true. They actually present facts! It took me three or more days to calm down after watching In Lies We Trust...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems insane, but I have yet to dispute the evidence of the third film... At this time, I wish I'd not have seen it...&lt;/p&gt;

I lost and threw away friends. I stopped placing in my age group in tri's and other sports. &amp;nbsp;In 1994 I had anxiety attacks. &amp;nbsp;Lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks, couldn't eat or sleep. &amp;nbsp;Doctors wanted to put me on all sorts of stuff. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A heart specialist (my heart rate was 100% plus of max) whispered, &amp;quot;have a smoke&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;A psychologist told me to have a drink and chill. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Great advice! &amp;nbsp;Life is good, I've told y'all about it in other posts. But the best one.......... &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Couldn't understand why I had high BP. &amp;nbsp;Docs wanted me to give up drinking and take prescribed trash. &amp;nbsp;My chiro told me about &amp;quot;Zypan&amp;quot;. (Standard Products) After a life of 140 over 100, in 2 days I went to 115 over 79! &amp;nbsp;It just gets better, and this is with beer n weed! Turns out I had very little stomach acid. &amp;nbsp;No worries now!&lt;/p&gt;

The regular vet nearly killed my dog with prescribed drugs!I brought my Chihuahua to the Vet yesterday to find out why he was constantly scratching himself. I thought it might have been a parasite. It turned out to be a minor bacterial infection on his skin. His vet prescribed some oral antibiotics. I should not have given him any. After giving him 1/2 of a pill, he vomited for the next 12 hours. I took him back for fear of dehydration. The vet kept him all day today and wants to keep him all day tomorrow. I suggested that maybe he was over sensitive to the antibiotic because he is on a fresh, organic food diet (mostly raw vegetables, &amp;nbsp;raw grass-fed beef, hormone/antibiotic-free poultry and eggs. My dog rarely ingests foreign chemicals and very rarely falls ill. The Vet said his reaction to the antibiotic has nothing to do with his diet. Imagine that! Again, is there a holistic vet in the house? &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The FDA should take its own mandated medications and pass them out to all gov agencies...they need to all chill out and reflect on humanity issues. Stop fighting wars abroad and try to focus all that money and energy on helping out the people. The only reason why certain drugs are illicit is because the GOV would lose a plethera of patients and revenue. No more DEA, less inmates in prison, less prescribed medication, less crime...you get the picture. I thought competition was supposed to be good, I guess they fix the problems like Vegas fixes fights...at the end the House always wins. &amp;nbsp;I would rather see more re-hab buildings than more jails or hospitals being built. &amp;nbsp;One last note: the FDA &amp;nbsp;better not interfere with my EFT or else im gonna be one sad SOB.&lt;/p&gt;
