Meth and Fruit Flies

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , — admin @ 10:39 am

What do Fruit Flies and METH have to do with each other.  Barry Pittendrigh professor at the University of Illinois lead some research and reported it in the journal PLoS ONE.  He stated that unlike other studies which focus on the brain his new analysis looked at molecular changes throughout the body.  Pittendrigh used fruit flies.  He stated, “one of the great things about working with fruit flies is that because they’re small, we can work with the whole organism and then look at the great diversity of tissues that are being impacted.”  He also stated, “This is important because we know that methamphetamine influences cellular processes associated with aging, it affects spermatogenesis, and it impacts the heart.  One could almost call meth a perfect storm toxin because it does so much damage to so many different tissues in the body.”

The researchers identified many molecular pathways that are significantly altered by METH.  These pathways affect energy generation, sugar metabolism, sperm cell formation, cell structure, hormones, skeletal muscle and cardiac muscles.  They also found some unusual disruptions of normal cellular events because of the use of METH.

So now we have evidence because of the fruit flies that METH can be very damaging to our bodies.  It may give you an excellent high but at what cost.  I understand that if you just try this drug you will want more and more.  If you do more and more you will get ill and harm your body in ways that you can’s even see right now.

Crystal Meth in Hollywood

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , — admin @ 10:43 am

Dr. Eric Braverman is an addiction specialist and author of “Younger (Sexier) You” and he told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column.  “It doesn’t need to be imported; it can be made at home, so it’s one of the hardest substances to police or control.”  He is talking about Crystal meth.  The celebs call it Cristie, Ice, Tweak, Chalk, chicken Feed.  No matter what they are calling it these days it is on the rise in Hollywood.  Beating out cocaine.

Here are some examples of celebs that are effect of it.  “Black-eyed Peas” lead singer was hooked on meth.  Tom Sizemore was arrested for possession of meth in 2007.  In 2008 Farrah Fawcett’s son, Ryan O’Neal was arrested after police found meth all over his home.  Jodie Sweetin told all in 2009 about her struggles with crystal meth.

Crystal meth is very hard on one’s health.  It will blow out the brain’s ability to make dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that controls the brains pleasure center and will result in brain damage.  Dr. Braverman stated that the user can only regain physical energy from continuing to use meth.  When you observe some abusers who are dependent on meth  you will find they may have no teeth and horrible looking skin.  It is a toxic chemical and can cause more harm to the body than heroin or cocaine.  An addict can get some physical impairment from it prolonged use and that can be with the addict for years after.  This crystal meth can cause psychotic behaviors.  The addict may get insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, violent aggression, hallucinations and may even lead to death.  Even though this information about its consequences gets to the celebs crystal meth still has allure in the image conscious entertainment industry.  Dr. Braverman said, “There is a lot of pressure to maintain a Hollywood relationship, and meth (gives the perception of) increased libido sexual performance.”  It was also noted that meth is also used for appetite suppression side effect.  Many of the celebs take it just to drop a few pounds.

There are those in Hollywood that are still waiting for that “big break” so they take meth because it is referred to as “poor man’s cocaine”.  It is cheaper and it can be cooked right in their own kitchen.

Don’t get the idea that Hollywood is just sitting on the side lines watching the drug get its popularity.  There is a Meth-Project which is a large scale program aimed at reducing first time meth use.  The biggest problem is treating the existing addicts.  Dr. Braverman said, “It’s very hard to keep a meth addict in treatment.  It’s a real struggle to treat them, but generally rehab centers are best.”  “  You have to diagnose the underlying problem that causes he or she to use.”

Ups and Downs and Drugs

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , — admin @ 9:30 am

From the time when we are young and having fun there may be people in your lives who albeit love you but they stop you.

It may be your mom or your Dad and maybe a friend, a boyfriend, a girlfriend or even your spouse.  Nevertheless this person may say things to you like “no, you can’t do that.”  “Boy are you stupid” “You will never amount to anything”,  that is the start of someone squashing you, invalidating you.

We are taught that we must get along with people so when they say things like that to us we usually don’t talk back or defend ourselves so now we are letting this problem grow.

We usually don’t know how to handle this problem and it causes us emotional disturbance and sometimes we get sick over it.  So now we turn to drugs.

We don’t want to think about that problem.  We may even meet more destructive people while we are using these drugs.  We become associated with negative and anti social people that can be a very destructive influence on a drug user’s life.

The sensible answer would be to handle or disconnect from these people.  But now you are a drug user and this is not the easiest thing to do.  When you get into a program to get off drugs that is one the things you need to address so you can stay off drugs.

When you go to Narconon Louisiana Riverbend Retreat there is a part of the program that addresses just that.  You will learn to get the ability to spot and handle or disconnect from people who are negatively influencing your life.  This meth addiction treatment is key.

We don’t just disconnect from all people that were unpleasant to us when we were young but we do learn how to go handle them so this person does not affect you anymore.  After you get this knowledge you can control the decisions over who you choose to hang out with and you will also learn how to smooth out some things with your family members.  This is a very important part of crystal meth rehab.  If this is not addressed you will use again.

What are the stages of the meth experience?

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 12:33 pm

The Rush This is the first thing you get when you take meth is “the Rush” your heart beat races as well as your metabolism.  Your blood pressure and pulse go really high.  Meth is not like cocaine totally, because cocaine gives you a two to five minute rush but meth gives you a 30 minute rush.

The High This is when we get in what they call “the shoulder” which is the high.  During this high the abuser often feels aggressively smarter and becomes argumentative.  They will interrupt other people and finish their sentences.  Then the user gets delusional like intensely focusing on insignificant items.  An example of this is repeatedly leaning the same window for several hours.  The high can last 4 to 16 hours.

The Binge This binge in an uncontrolled use of the drug.  You get an urge to maintain the high by smoking or injecting the meth. The Binge can last 3 to 15 days.  The effects of the drug get less and less.

Tweaking This is the most dangerous phase of the drug use.  It is a condition reached at the end of the drug binge when meth no longer provides a rush or a high.  Now you are not able to relive the horrible feelings of emptiness and craving and you lose your sense of identity.

The Crash This happens when the body shuts down because it is unable to cope with the drug effects overwhelming it.  Now the abuser will go into a long period of sleep.  The crash can last one to three days.

Meth hangover When the crash is over the abuser is in a deterioted state.  You are starved, dehydrated and utterly exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally.  This stage ordinarily last from 2 to 14 days.

Withdrawal this may take 30 to 90 days after the last drug use before the abuser realizes he is in withdrawal.  He becomes depressed loses his energy and the ability to experience pleasure.  The craving for more meth Hits hard and you may become suicidal.  That is when you revert back to the METH.

Withdrawal does not have to be painful and last 90 days.  There are crystal meth drug rehab programs that are able to prevent the majority of withdrawal symptoms through natural remedies.  Call our hotline now for assistance.  1-877-340-3602.

What is meth made from?

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:31 pm

Methamphetamine is a synthetic chemical, which mean it is manmade.  Cocaine comes from a plant but not Meth.

You will usually find Meth being made in an illegal hidden laboratory.  They will mix different kinds of forms of amphetamines which is another stimulant drug.  They will also mix derivatives with other chemicals to boost its potency.  Common pills for cold remedies are often used as the basis for the production of the drug.  What a dangerous mixture.  Nothing but poison for your body.  The Meth “cook” extracts ingredients from those pills and to increase its strength combines the substance with chemicals such as battery acid, drain cleaner, lantern fuel and antifreeze.  Now I don’t know about you but that sounds like a sure way to commit suicide!!

Dealing with these dangerous chemicals you have to understand that they are potentially explosive and because the meth cooks are drug users themselves they are disoriented, they often get severely burned and disfigured or killed when their preparation explodes.  Some of these accidents even blow up the next door neighbor homes.  Can you imagine putting this drug in your body and while it is being made it can actually cause explosion just think of what it is doing to your body!!

The illegal labs create toxic waste as well.  The production of one pound of methamphetamine produces five pounds of waste.  People who make it or live next to it get exposed to this material and get sick.

Well how do we get off these drugs?  The information on crystal meth points to the fact that it’s very difficult to quit.  Call our hotline now for assistance at 1-877-340-3602.

Crystal Meth: What is it?

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 12:30 pm

The words crystal meth are short for crystal methamphetamine.  It is just one form of the drug methamphetamine.

Methamphetamine is a white crystalline drug that people take by snorting it, that means inhalant it through the nose.  Sometimes they smoke it or inject it with a needle.  Some take it in the mouth.  But one thing for sue once they take it they want to keep taking it because it creates a false sense of happiness and well-being.  Who wouldn’t want that?  You can get a rush which is a strong feeling of confidence, hyper activeness and energy.  You also get an appetite that is decreased.  So some people start to use this drug so they can lose weight.  When you are on crystal meth the effects can last up to 24 hours.

Crystal Meth is an illegal drug and it is in the same class as cocaine and other powerful street drugs.  Some of the nick names for it are Meth, crank, chalk or speed being the most common.  People of all ages get on meth but it is most commonly used as a “club drug”.  People take it while they are partying at the nightclubs.

Meth is a dangerous and potent chemical and just like all drugs it is a poison that first acts as a stimulant but then begins to systematically destroy the body.  You get memory loss, aggression, psychotic behavior and potential heart and brain damage.

Crystal Meth Can Destroy Your Life

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 12:55 pm

Let’s see if we can’t find the truth about drugs such as Crystal Meth instead of just taking them because someone said, “they will make you feel better”.

When you get sick a doctor will give you drugs for a reason.  We need to know what this drug does to our body.

Drugs, they are basically poison.  If you take too much then the effect will be different.  Maybe worse than if you just took what the doctor said to take on your prescription.  A small amount acts as a stimulate, that mean it will speed you up.  If you take a greater amount it will act as a sedative, which means it will slow you down.  If you take an even larger amount it can poison and even kill you.

This is true of any drug.  Only the amount needed to achieve the effect will be different.

So, what does a drug do when it gets into your system?  Drugs block off all sensation that is all sensations the one you should have and the ones you don’t want.  You take something for a headache, that drug takes the pain away but it also take away ability and alertness and your thinking is not straight.

Some medicines are used to kill like an antibiotic.  It too can be dangerous if you take too much.  These drugs kill the good bacteria as well as the bad ones.  In the early 50’s antibiotics were prescribed often because they were the cure all.  Later In life these same people who took antibiotics often have overgrown yeast in their bodies and bad teeth just to name a few effects.

We know drugs can be poison to you.  They change what is going on in your body.  They can speed things up, slow them down and even kill things.  So it is important that you know the truth about drugs.  Sometimes they are necessary.  But taking too much can kill you or even make you very sick.

Now that you know some truth about drugs get more information on how to help your body the natural way at a crystal meth rehab.  Contact our hotline at 1-877-340-3602.

The Truth About Crystal Meth

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 8:23 pm

Here are the straight facts about crystal meth.

Crystal meth is actually one form of the drug methamphetamine that is commonly sold and abused by drug addicts. It is also referred to as “meth” or “ice”.

Methamphetamine users initially take the drug because they feel it enhances their alertness and ability to concentrate, and generates temporary sensations of euphoria and well-being. Unfortunately, methamphetamine users quickly sag into a state of depression, (referred to as the “downer”) that they can only shake by taking more of the drug.

According to recent research, one fifth of meth addicts experience psychosis which can persist for six months or more even after they’ve completely stopped taking the drug.

Physical effects can include an abated appetite, hyperactivity, dry mouth, headaches, restlessness, dizziness, twitching, difficulty sleeping (for even weeks at a time), numbness, heart palpitations, tremors, heart attacks, stroke, and even death.

Methamphetamine users have a high rate of depression and suicide as well as heart troubles. Scientists consider methamphetamine to be one of the most addictive drugs in existence.

When someone tries to quit methamphetamine, they experience withdrawal symptoms that include fatigue and depression as well as an increased appetite. They can also experience extreme anxiety and headaches, irritability, and even suicidal ideation.

Orlando realtor allegedly turns meth dealer

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 9:14 pm

Robert Lord Morris, at one time a leading Florida realtor and president-elect of the local realtor association, is currently in jail under accusation of attempting to traffic over $30,000 worth of methamphetamine via FedEx.

Morris, a 48-year-old man, was charged with drug trafficking and with resisting arrest. Morris was arrested after he claimed a FedEx package that contained about half a pound of crystal methamphetamine disguised inside a bag of Meow Mix.

Morris is a father of four and currently undergoing divorce proceedings with his wife, Theresa Morris. The couple filed for divorce in April, the same month that Morris was charged with possession of cocaine.

The incident highlights the broad scale abuse of meth and other drugs in our society. Drug dealers and distributors aren’t just street thugs, but white collar workers as well. Crystal meth dealers range from those who are in it for the black market bucks, to those who need the money from their sales to support their own crystal meth addiction.

Unfortunately, although the seizure of such a quantity of crystal meth is a major victory for law enforcement officials in Florida, the battle is far from over. For every one crystal meth distributor that is caught, dozens range free. Unless the war on drugs is backed up with education and rehabilitation, we will constantly be bailing out a sinking ship without every bothering to plug the holes.

Shocking Hawaii anti-meth ads are working

Filed under: crystal meth rehab — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 11:28 pm

Two years ago, the Hawaii Meth Project began running graphic television ads designed to discourage youth from using crystal methamphetamine. The ads are not pleasant to watch, and at some points are downright shocking, but the results can’t be argued with.

Overall, the teenage population of Hawaii became 15% less likely to try crystal meth. These results are attributed to the crystal meth television ad campaign.

The hard-hitting ads showed the real effects of crystal meth on the users. Now new ads are beginning to air that will show what crystal meth can do to the user’s families.

Cindy Adams, a worker for the Hawaii Crystal Meth project, stated that despite the effectiveness of the ads, crystal meth remains an issue for Hawaii. “This drug continues to be a significant problem for our state,” she was quoted as saying. Hawaii drug rehab programs are often not able to deal with crystal meth addiction. The typical rehab success rate with crystal meth is less than 10%.

The project will also be releasing radio ads to go along with the TV blitz.

Crystal meth is one of the most highly addictive drugs abused in the United States. What is more, crystal meth users often go on binges lasting weeks, resulting in them taking hit after hit of the drug before finally reaching a state of physical and mental collapse.

Part of the problem with crystal meth is that drug dealers are able to manufacture meth in homes and in rural areas using household chemicals. Because of this it is broadly available throughout the United States. In states that have established pseudoephedrine sale monitoring, crystal meth manufacture is becoming less of a problem, but even in those states the drugs can still be smuggled in.

If you or someone you know needs the services of a crystal meth rehab, we can help. Call our hotline now at 1-877-340-3602.
