Is Dorothy’s adventure an acid trip? This has long been debated in popular culture and completely denied by the movie creators.

L. Frank Baum’s original story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was first published in 1900 and written during a time when opium was legal. Opium is a narcotic that is derived from poppies. A quote from L. Frank Baum’s novel that references these poppies,

“They now came upon more and more of the big scarlet poppies, and fewer and fewer of the other flowers; and soon they found themselves in the midst of a great meadow of poppies. Now it is well known that when there are many of these flowers together their odor is so powerful that anyone who breathes it falls asleep, and if the sleeper is not carried away from the scent of the flowers, he sleeps on and on forever. But Dorothy did not know this, nor could she get away from the bright red flowers that were everywhere about; so presently her eyes grew heavy and she felt she must sit down to rest and to sleep”.… [Continue Reading]

Opiate Withdrawal – Symptoms & Signs

Opiates are highly potent, powerful drugs derived from the poppy plant. Sometimes we call them “narcotics.” They have been used for many centuries to relieve pain. Today, opiates can be natural or synthetic.

Opiate drugs work because they attach to “opiate receptors” in your body. When they do, they relieve pain and induce feelings of euphoria. Unfortunately, they stick around in your body and your body quickly becomes dependent on them. Over 14% of those who try prescription pain relievers non-medically become dependent.

When you become addicted, you need ever-higher doses of the drug and experience cravings for opiates between doses.

The symptoms usually begin shortly before your next scheduled dose of the drug. Sometimes, they start just a few hours after your last dose, but more commonly they hit you between 6-12 hours after your last dose.… [Continue Reading]

Physicians use Suboxone^® as a pain reliever. However, some try to treat one form of addiction (such as heroin) by substituting dependence on Suboxone^®. Unfortunately, most physicians do not realize that Suboxone^® is more highly addictive than traditional opiates. This means that trying to break Suboxone addiction is even more difficult – and the withdrawal symptoms are more severe – than breaking your original dependence.

Trading one opiate drug for another is never an acceptable treatment.

Pharmaceutical literature reports many side effects from using Suboxone®. Those side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, constipation, headache, nausea, or vomiting, slow and shallow breathing, mental and mood changes, depression, stomach/abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing eyes and skin, vision changes. In addition, the literature lists allergic reactions that include rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing.… [Continue Reading]

It has been increasingly popular to treat drug addicted individuals with Methodone and now Suboxone. Both of these drugs are opioids. Using Methodone or Suboxone for your treatment plan is trading your current addiction for another addiction complete with side effects and withdrawal symptoms.

Rapid Drug Detox has a revolutionary cure that works. The great success of The RDD Method™ is that it does not use a narcotic for your “cure”. We cure your physical addiction by infusion of FDA approved intravenous medications to quickly remove the opioids from the opiate receptors in the body. Then Naltrexone Therapy is immediately initiated to ensure that the opiate drugs will not re-attach to the ‘now clean’ opiate receptors so you remain drug free.

Perhaps your doctor prescribed OxyContin when other painkillers stopped working for you. Although six million people a year take OxyContin, USA Today calls it a “prescription for trouble.” The National Institute of Health recently reported that 23.9 million American adults —over 9 percent of the population—overused an addicting medication in the past month.
OxyContin is a controlled-release version of oxycodone hydrochloride. Like any narcotic intended for extended pain relief, it can become addicting. Those addicted to OxyContin often crush the tablets and inject or snort them to get the drug into the bloodstream. Not only does this increase your risk of addiction but can be fatal, even the first time you try it.

The more you use OxyContin, the more you need, which leads to addiction. Symptoms of addiction can include flabby muscles, shallow breathing leading to respiratory arrest, or a drop in your heart rate and blood pressure, which can bring on a coma and even death. In 2015, Science Daily reported that “legal drugs such as OxyContin now kill more people than heroin and cocaine combined.”… [Continue Reading]
