How Many Free Samples Are in Your Medicine Cabinet?

Anyone who has treated drug addicts for very long knows about the dealers on the streets and in the school yards who give free drug samples to potential customers. The street dealer finds a potential client and hands them a sample, knowing that chances are, they will return. Other kids get their first free sampler from the dealer at school.   Once the customer gets addicted and has to start paying there is trouble – that is when we see them at rehab.

 

When pharmaceutical companies give samples of Schedule II drugs intended for kids they are advertising for future business. A free sample of Adderal without proper drug education can leave a child wanting more of the high, without a real understanding that a continued yen for that high can get them strung out or in rehab.

 

Bravo to the physicians who are questioning the safety of this. Please continue to make your voices heard.

 

If you know someone who has had too many free samples and needs effective drug treatment call Narconon the New Life Program.

What’s in Your Medicine Cabinet and Who is it For?

If you have cough or cold medicine for a child in your medicine cabinet, you should know that last year about 7000 kids went to the emergency room from overdoses of cold medicines. Most of these overdoses occurred because parents could buy the stuff over the counter and give it to their kids without any real understanding of the potential harm. 

 

These products bring in 286 million a year for the drug companies that sell them. With that much money to lose, industry “experts” are suggesting that we need to educate the parents – perhaps with online pharmacology classes?

  

The real answer lies with those pediatricians who are taking charge of their young patients and putting pressure on the FDA to remove over the counter cough medication. Hopefully they will take back the reigns and guide kids safely through their colds. As mentioned in this article, usually it just takes rest and plenty of liquids. When I was a kid, grandma and her chicken soup seemed to speed up the process.   If that didn’t work then my mother would call the doctor, who would carefully instruct her regarding any medication. She was a teacher – she wasn’t trained in pediatrics and I am grateful that she wasn’t given the opportunity to monkey around with my health.

 

The jump from kid cough syrup to robo tripping with DXM cold products is not a big jump. (Robo tripping is taking so much of a cold product with DXM in it that the person goes on a “trip” – sometimes never to return to normalcy.) Robo trippers often start with the cold products from home and then start stealing the product to maintain their habit.

 

What’s in Your Medicine Cabinet today could be making the drug addict of tomorrow. 

 

Get educated.
