LOCK THE MEDICINE CABINET
It can’t get any worse than children overdosing on their parent’s prescription medication. Anyone taking Oxycontin or other like medication needs to keep at least enough semblance of sobriety to lock up their medication. The pain one is trying to relieve through the medication has no comparison to the pain of losing a child.
If you know of a parent with small children who is abusing prescription medication get them some help fast. It is just not their life at stake.

What's in your medicine cabinet?
WHAT’S IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET?
Sadly, the mother of Aaron Mason is on the wrong side of drug education and prevention-she learned too late about the dangers of prescription drugs and lost her son.
Now her voice is amongst the growing number of concerned citizens that are sounding the alarm - prescription medications are making their way from the medicine cabinet into the school yard. Traveling far from their designated recipient Xanax, morphine, Valium, Percocet and Oxycontin are taken from the family medicine cabinet and brought to school, passed around and often ingested right on the school grounds.
Often these drugs are the theme of “pharm” parties, where the “party goers” are too bleary eyed and doped up to have a good time.
Parents should suspect that their children are being exposed to these drugs in one way or another – even if they are just aware of the fact that they are at school. It is something that must be brought up around the dinner table, because if kids don’t learn the truth about drugs at home, they are going to learn the lies about drugs at school.
If parents find any pharmaceutical drugs they should immediately suspect that there is probably already some element of addiction and get their kid some help- fast. These drugs are dangerous and addictive and are nothing to play around with.
If you need to know the signs of drug abuse or what to do with someone you know is already abusing drugs, then call Narconon. We will send you a free brochure on the signs of drug abuse and help educate you on drug rehab.

What's in your medicine cabinet? (cough and cold)
WHAT’S IN YOUR MEDICINE CABINET?
Drug makers announced yesterday that over- the-counter cough and cold medicine should not be given to children younger than four years old. This announcement was accompanied by plans for new measuring devices and child resistant packaging.
This announcement came after a flurry of protest, especially from the medical community about the marketing of these products to young people. 7000 children a year visit the emergency rooms because of complications from cold and cough medicine, many of them because parents don’t understand how to correctly dispense these drugs.
The validity of dispensing cold and cough medication to children is still not resolved and there seems to be very little evidence that these medications are actually helpful. While there is more work to be done to keep our kids safe from the medicine cabinet, this announcement was a move in the right direction.
In a small way it demonstrates that it is possible for responsible citizens and professionals to make a difference with big Pharma. The consumer is ultimately in control as is always the case in free enterprise. It is a matter of ensuring that consumers are informed so they can take appropriate action -the public obviously will refuse to buy products that are harmful. They just have to know.
With prescription drug abuse eclipsing illegal drug abuse, responsibility for drug prevention and education has squarely arrived on the doorstep of the Medical Community. They did fairly well on this one – let’s hope they continue.
Call Narconon of Georgia if you know someone who is abusing cold medication. Many cold medications contain DXM. DXM can make a person high, is addictive and can cause long term physical and mental damage.

Free Samples in your medicine cabinet
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 drug free 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.NARCONON uses the sauna detoxification system to help get people off drugs if you or a family member need help please call me at 1-877-413-3073.
