I recently read an interesting
article on CNN about Obama trying to fight the drug war and use of opioid
epidemics. This article goes through the things Obama and the U.S want to do to
try to shut down the use of this terrible drug. This is not going to be cheap
to do but I believe this is a serious problem that we as a country need to do
whatever to fix it.
This
leading cause of unintentional death for Americans has risen 14 percent from
2013 to 2014. Doctors are saying with medication help with drugs such as
methadone and buprenorphine is a serious way to get rid of this terrible drug
usage. Doctors are also saying that these patients that start taking drugs that
help and start to see therapist make a huge improvement in weeks. The doctors
that did prescribe these drugs were only allowed to sell them to 100 people,
but Obama just passed a law to 200 people, which will make a huge difference.
The White
House just announced adding 11 million dollars to go toward state efforts on
expanding this medicine. Then to add another 94 million in new funding’s for
new treatment services. So after spending almost 100 million dollars on this
problem I truly believe that it will all be worth it and could seriously help
this country with a serious problem.

I was Reading Sam Herriage's post and in my opinion I just think we should stop using medicine period. Since 2000, the Food and Drug Administration has approved an average of 24 drugs a year, including many that pose health risks and serious long-term side effects. Most of the drugs doctors prescribe cause serious issues. Cancer and death are on almost all of the labels in medicine. How can we be okay with that? In the United States Cancer is the #1 most expensive "per person" illness. What they do is get us sick so we can go get some medicine and get even worse. There is far more money in extending the illness than in curing it. Cancer treatment is about 124.6 Billion dollars. It is sad statistics show that half of American's will develop cancer in their lifetime. A hundred years ago 1 in 33 people were diagnosed with any kind of disease. Now everything is a disease and there's a medication for everything.They are poisoning us, making us addicted to whats not good for us. We are exposed to toxic elements on a daily basis. Not even our food is healthy anymore. By the age of 2, a child has received 2,370 times the "allowable safe limit" HUGE red flag! We wouldn't need all these medications if they didn't try to keep us sick.
