"All substances like cocaine, methamphetamines (speed), heroin, inhalants, marijuana, LSD, ecstasy, and more have adverse effects on short- and long-term brain function. This is a SPECT scan of a normal brain. Figure 3: SPECT scan of a normal brain This is a SPECT of a brain on methamphetamines (the same class of drugs as Ritalin). Figure 4: SPECT scan of a brain on methamphetamines Any questions? Medications Eighty-one percent of Americans take at least one medication per week." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Ephedrine and pseu- doephedrine are used in the making of illicit methamphetamines. Although over-the-counter cough and cold remedies are almost never used in the making of methamphetamines (representing less than 1% of the domestic source of the illicit drug), the DEA has made elimination of certain sources of cough and cold remedies an 183 enforcement priority. Instances of "home cooks" making methamphetamine reveal that when cough and cold remedies are diverted for this use they are often obtained from pharmacies and big box stores, not convenience stores." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.)

Medications Eighty-one percent of Americans take at least one medication per week. Are you one of those people who pop an acid-blocking pill for indigestion, a cholesterol-lowering medication, acetaminophen for your joint pain, ibuprofen for your headaches, or a birth-control pill? Or are you getting the flu vaccine every year?" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"Methamphetamines: an addictive stimulant drug that strongly activates certain systems in the brain. It is closely related chemically to amphetamine, but has greater central nervous system effects. 5. THE HORROR OF PSYCHOACTIVE DRUGS Perhaps the darkest chapter one can imagine, when it comes to pharmaceutical drugs, has to do with psychoactive drugs - drugs, in other words, which have an effect on the mind and the psyche." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

Are you one of those people who pop an acid-blocking pill for indigestion, a cholesterol-lowering medication, acetaminophen for your joint pain, ibuprofen for your headaches, or a birth-control pill? Or are you getting the flu vaccine every year? We are a pill-popping society and we believe drugs are safe and have been adequately tested for long-term effects." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"The enforcement activity has no effect on domestic supply or use of illicit methamphetamines. CMS ELIMINATION OF INNOVATION IN MEDICINE In an article for Regulation magazine, entitled "Murder by Medicare,"187 I have before explained the stultifying effect Medicare's Byzantine labyrinth of regulation has on the practice of medicine in America." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.) "Moreover, even if all such remedies were eliminated from the market, there would likely be no effect on sale and use of methamphetamines because over 99% of demand for the illicit drug is supplied by finished drug products smuggled into the United States from Mexico and Canada.184 Of late, following meetings between the DEA Deputy Administrator and the pharmaceutical industry, DEA has embarked without the benefit of rulemaking on a systematic cleansing from the marketplace of all independent manufacturers and suppliers of cough and cold remedies to the convenience stores." - Jonathan W. Emord, The Rise of Tyranny (Get the book.) "Although over-the-counter cough and cold remedies are almost never used in the making of methamphetamines (representing less than 1% of the domestic source of the illicit drug), the DEA has made elimination of certain sources of cough and cold remedies an 183 enforcement priority.

"Podell was to investigate whether methamphetamines stimulate the replicarion of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a disease that some scientists believe bears some resemblance to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans. "Podell was the lead researcher on a five-year, $1.68 million study, funded by National Institute of Health (NIH), that infected cats with FIV, dosed them with methamphetamines [commonly known as speed], tested them, and finally euthanized and dissected them,"3 reports The HSUS." - Ann N.

"Many ADHD adults and adolescents turn to stimulating drugs, such as cocaine, crack, amphetamines, and methamphetamines. These dopamine-enhancing drugs can temporarily soothe not only the symptoms of the inattentive subtype of ADHD, but also those of the hyperactive-impulsive subtype. Ritalin, of course, can also be abused, and is often the abusive drug of choice among many adults and adolescents with ADHD. Ritalin is a popular street drug, and in some cities it's sold for a price that is approximately equivalent to that of heroin." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"National Institute of Health (NIH), that infected cats with FIV, dosed them with methamphetamines [commonly known as speed], tested them, and finally euthanized and dissected them,"3 reports The HSUS. Since his research was launched in late 2000, Podell and his researchers had infected more then one hundred felines. Critics of this study dismissed his findings stating FIV and HIV are two radically different viruses. In correspondence with a woman who works in one of these labs at the University of Illinois, I asked if many animals are used in these experiments. " - Ann N.

"This even lies at the root of those seduced by methamphetamines, and of those who have yet to develop the self-esteem necessary to escape the trap of fundamentalism. It could be said that their course in life has been misguided. Most of you who read this book will have already realized that to heal the outside world, we each have to heal the world within. The Christian ethic of loving one's neighbour as oneself gains new meaning as we realize that there are no true barriers between people. We love our neighbour, as he or she is part of ourself." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Recently I had the opportunity of treating a young lawyer addicted to methamphetamines. His mother was dying of cancer of the stomach, and she confided in me that her biggest stress was her son's addiction. As if to emphasize the importance of this, two other women in their fifties, both mothers of 'P' addicts, presented to me with similar stories within the next fortnight. One had bowel cancer, and the other a severe form of arthritis. Each woman said that she was the only meaningful person left in her son's life." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.) "During the Second World War, methamphetamines (branded as Pervitin) were distributed widely to German soldiers to give energy and reduce human empathy for the opposition. Adolf Hitler's own behaviour later in the war was perhaps history's most chilling example of 'P' addiction. I was interested to see a TV documentary detailing the day the Nazi generals plotted to kill Hitler in July 1944. By that time, Hitler was receiving a cocktail of intravenous drugs every morning from his physician, Dr Theodor Morell. Included in this brew was methamphetamine. As we know, the assassination attempt failed." - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)
