Adultery-16-year-old girl to be flogged for crime

"Something for all you church going folks...Okay People Didn't this type of unspeakable CRAP!! go out way back before the great flood? ( you all remember the one in the bible) This is insane that in these counrties women are still considered (Nobodys) holding less worth then the pet dog, wait I think they feel the dog is higher then women...And to think. We women are the reason men are on this earth!!"

Sudan;"The sentence of 100 lashes, passed on a 16-year-old school girl in the Sudan for the "crime" of adultery, to be commuted immediately. Amnesty International is also asking people all over the world to write to the Sudanese authorities asking them to stop the punishment going ahead. Intisar Bakri Abdulgader gave birth to a male child after becoming pregnant outside marriage. She was convicted of adultery and sentenced by a local court she was seven months pregnant. The alleged father of the child has reportedly not been charged but will have a blood test to establish paternity. Intisar is now caring for her four-month-old son, Dori. She is said to be very frightened at the prospect of the punishment and is reportedly eating and sleeping very little. Under article 146 of Sudan’s Penal Code, adultery is punishable by execution by stoning if the offender is married, or by one hundred lashes if the offender is not married. Adultery is defined as sexual intercourse with a man without being lawfully bound to him. Scores of people were sentenced to amputation or flogging in Sudan last year. Flogging is frequently carried out immediately after sentencing leaving no chance for appeal, even when there are concerns about whether a fair trial has been held."

Japanese kids think death's temporary

gophercentral:As a testament to the power of video games and movies, some Japanese children do not believe death is permanent, the Kyodo news agency said Tuesday. The Nagasaki prefectural Board of Education ordered a survey of children's attitudes on death and dying in November and December after an 11-year-old girl was convicted of murdering a fellow student. Of 3,600 fourth, six and eighth graders in public schools, 15.4 percent said they believe dead people can be resurrected based on what they had seen on television, movies and video games. In the case of the 11-year-old convicted of murder, a family court statement said the girl had only a "vague notion" of death. On releasing the survey results, a school board official called for parents to ensure their children learn the real, and not virtual, meaning of life.I too have to agree with them on this issues as I said in the next acrticle below this one. Read on to next post and you'll see my feelings on Video game-players and our children"

Video games Change us?

: " Students at the University of Sioux Falls, S.D., enrolled in the class Sociology of Video Games are required to play video games two hours a day. The university had offered courses that examine the impact of violence and sex in movies, so William Lugo, an assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice, thought video games were a logical extension. "What a great opportunity to teach from a sociology perspective," Lugo told the Sioux Falls Argus. "Games are more interactive than movies, too -- you're the main character." Lugo said he has two goals for students: to understand the effect games have on them and to become aware that games tell us a lot about ourselves. For example, in the video game "Halo 2," its main character, Master Chief, portrays masculinity, with his voice and the way he acts. "He's portrayed like a godlike, masculine figure every boy wants to grow up as," said, a male-student who took the course." What are your thoughts on this video game class? I know for a fact that when my son had his PS-2 up and running, he would spend hours glued to it... And at times would become very angry and throw fits it he didn't win or was killed in a game or if it became to much stress for him. As he would yell and blame others because (if we even took a breath of air it made him lose, he said! ) So ...Yes I do feel that Video games change the levels in the brain after long periods of playing them. He would even go thru with-draw like signs if he couldn't play it for a time when I took it away. But I also feel that computer games are just as bad they are just TV-gameboys...( By the way I broke his machine- was not on purpose but now glad I did, as I find he has calm down abit more but it took about a-month to see the change)"

Comments On Blog's

Please forgive me if these seems like a whinny baby complaint, but I feel really bummed when I spend so much time trying to put my blog together and people just read, but don't bother to leave a comment, this is why I stopped writing for awhile it seemed nobody cared so why post so I stopped but I missed it and I'm trying again. Or we get the ones that are looking for something but never take the time to stop and see what your Blog has to say. Maybe I just expect the same out of ours that I give to them, if I end up in someone's blog page I always try to leave a comment about one of their posts, if nothing else I feel to let them know someone does care if they post and what they post. So I guess what I am saying not only for me but also for other fellow bloggers if you trip into our blogs. Please give us a moment of your time and stop and read what we wrote and leave us a comment, don't be rude and leave nasty comments, at least be nice to the person that wrote the Blog page you are in. Then we"LOL know their are people out in Cyber -World of Blog-sites...Thank-you

Leg substituted for dead man's effects

Coffeebreak: "Police on Long Island, N.Y., were trying to determine how a grieving family was given a bag containing a human leg instead of the dead man's effects. Police received a frantic call from Mr. Runyan, 35, who made the gruesome discovery. His 77-year-old father, Paul, had died at Central Suffolk Hospital barely a week after learning he had cancer. A blue tag hanging from the toe bore the name of another man and was dated Jan. 13. Detectives learned a hospital worker had turned over the plastic bag to an employee at a funeral home, which immediately denied any involvement in the mix-up. The investigation is continuing, although it appears to be non-criminal, said Detective Best. The hospital launched its own investigation as well, their spokeswoman said. God knows how that can be confused with a bag of clothing," Runyan said. Okay you tell me...Did anyone bother to look in the bag before they handed it over to the family? This is creepy guess everyone better check out our bag, just like we do at the fast-food drive-thru before we leave to make sure we don't have the wrong bag...LOL"

Bipolar - Does Your Child Have it

" I know this is a very long article to read...Heck I cut it down it was 5-pages long. But I wanted to post this to let people out their know, and also because I also have two-children that 10-years ago was told had 3rd.genertion Bi-polar on their dad's side, I also did not know their father had this because he was adopted, his parents thought he was just a un-rule kids and sent him to live else where till he was grown. Guess what I am saying is. It's really hard to live with kids that have these problems and others don't understand! Explicitly those people that never had to raise a child like these kids. Because as their parent you try to do everything you can to give them a good life and make sure their happy, but at the same time it seems like someone is always un-happy no matter what you try to do. And people and the legal system think we are bad parents because our kids are out of control. People don't begin to know the hell we go thru...From a mothers view, be wait nine months to hold our child and when their born they are the best gift anyone could give us, then the hell begins, maybe not as soon for soon like some but it comes. Mine was when my son entered kinder-garden. I know the stares the rude remarks from outsiders, and all the people that feel if you took one million parenting classes you would be a better parent. Well let me tell you and their is proof out their. But the courts and schools don't want to listen, And doctors they don't seem to know much more then the rest of us...God help the world! But- they just want to blame someone, so it's us the parent. I feel that we as parents are doing every thing we can to help and love our child but the legal system and the schools, don't do enough, these people are not trained nor are payed enough to deal with these type of children so, why should they.. they feel right! Wrong these people want to take our rights as parents away and say we don't know what going on...Well I sure wish they would show us how to fix it...Instead of always telling us how. Sure would help some days....Well I feel better now...LOL Got that out of my system- Sort of. I just get so angry because I am trying so hard to be a good parent and some days I just want to walk away, and give up. As I"m a single mom, their dads visits, but he don't want to deal with it...Great huh!"

washingtonpost:"From the time her son was born, this mother suspected something was wrong. As an infant he cried inconsolably and slept mostly in hour-long snatches. At 3, he was always irritable and had prolonged tantrums triggered by the slightest change in his routine. A therapist told his mother he was emotionally disturbed. A year later a child psychiatrist made the diagnosis: the 4 1/2 -year-old was manic-depressive. A few months later, when his even-tempered sister grew moody and volatile, she took her to the same psychiatrist. They sat down with DeWeese's well-thumbed book about bipolar children and went through its symptom checklist. Based largely on those results and the family's history she learned that the children's father had been diagnosed as bipolar in high school psychiatrist told her 5 1/2-year-old daughter was bipolar,too. Now 6 and 8, this mother's son and daughter exemplify a trend that is roiling mental heath: the burgeoning number of children diagnosed with bipolar illness, also known as manic depression, which affects about 2.3 million Americans. As a result, some preschoolers barely out of diapers are being treated for bipolar disorder with powerful drugs, few of which have been tested in children. But some experts say the surge in diagnoses is a dangerous fad one critic called it "psychiatrist flavor of the month" a decision too often based on skimpy evidence, cursory evaluations and incorrect assumptions about genetic risk. These children are troubled,but most don't meet psychiatrist official diagnostic criteria for the lifelong psychotic disorder. Labeling severe tantrums in toddlers as a major mental illness lacks validity and undermines credibility in our profession. Studies have found that bipolar children are severely agitated and aggressive, grandiose(they tell the teacher how to run the class or think they have the same authority as a parent),hypersexual,imitate sexy rock stars,silliness, separation anxiety, night terrors, carbohydrate cravings, fidgeting, extreme bossiness, bed-wetting, lying, social anxiety and difficulty getting up in the morning, or use explicit language and experience very rapid mood swings, sometimes several times an hour, during which they can become explosively angry. They are also suggestive of a host of other problems: depression, anxiety, abuse, ADHD or a behavioral problem such as conduct, explosive or oppositional defiant disorder. Desperate parents search Web sites. It has been found, famous people were bipolar, Abraham Lincoln, Ludwig van Beethoven and Teddy Roosevelt. With systems of rapid cycling mood swings that occur as often as every few minutes throughout the day. Some desperate parents, who have struggled for years with their children's problems and an acute shortage of mental health feel so helpless.Until recently, many doctors were reluctant to prescribe the powerful mood-stabilizing drugs adults take for bipolar disorder to young children, whose central nervous systems are still developing. Most of these drugs, which can have serious and sometimes life-threatening side effects, including diabetes, significant weight gain, hormonal problems that can cause infertility, and fatal blood disorders have not been tested in children. Some are epilepsy drugs used to control seizures and not approved to treat psychiatric disorders, which are widely used anyway because some doctors think they are effective. These medications doctors say, are the cornerstone of treatment, even for very young children. The youngest patient heard of is an 18-month-old girl who was diagnosed as bipolar largely because she screamed incessantly and had a bipolar mother. The baby was medicated with lithium. Most children take at least three drugs simultaneously or more to control their moods and alleviate depression. Some try dozens of combinations and doses. One 8-year old, who has tried more than half a dozen drugs, some of which made her act like "a raging maniac," currently takes Abilify, an antipsychotic primarily used to treat schizophrenia in adults. The dose had to be cut after she started drooling and one side of her face drooped. Parents are often asked how they can give these drugs to their children. "We don't have any choice," comparing them to lifesaving chemotherapy. "Most of us are grateful these medications exist. In earlier days our children would have been institutionalized. These drugs can cause the very symptoms they have been given to treat: hyperactivity, insomnia and even psychosis. There's a lot of throwing medications at people without thinking about what the problem is. Once somebody has a label, it is highly unlikely that label will be questioned. And by the time your child has been on 20 different drugs, you can no longer figure out what's wrong. One 13-year-old had taken more than a dozen drugs since her diagnosis several years ago. If one doesn't work, the doctors' answer is to just keep adding more and more medications or increasing the doses, the rise in pediatric diagnosis of bipolar illness. Don't Blame the Parents, many parents say that a bipolar diagnosis meant they were no longer blamed for their children's behavior. At first he only had meltdowns in front of me, recalled a Navy scientist whose son was diagnosed last year at 5. Everyone told me it was me, that I was just not handling him well. It was the most horrible thing to sit there every day and have people telling you that. It is not a parenting issue, she said she finds it hard to ignore the stares when her 6-year-old son, diagnosed at 3, has a meltdown in Wal-Mart. We can't stop this from happening. It is nothing we can control or the child can control Such evaluations can take four hours or more and includes interviews and observations of the parents and child, psychological testing, a physical exam, detailed family history and information from teachers, coaches, day care staffers and others who know the child. A psychiatrist can make two or three times as much from an hour of medication checks than from an hour of therapy.Although it's not discussed much, misdiagnosis can have a profound impact. One woman, who agreed to be interviewed on the condition that her name not be published to protect her daughter's privacy, said that when the girl was 14, she was handed a prescription for lithium after a single visit to a psychiatrist. Four years later, doctors discovered that her severe depression and mood swings were the result of an undiagnosed pituitary tumor. She's really angry at the doctors and at me because I accepted the diagnosis too fast, the woman said. Her daughter, she said, "barely got through high school" and had side effects from the lithium, which made her hair fall out. Now 19, she said, her daughter is caught in a Catch-22: Because the family was open about her diagnosis, she feels the need to tell everyone she's not bipolar. And the reaction she's encountered is not what she thought. It's, Oh sure- (people say)- the bipolar doesn't think she's bipolar-right...Tell her to up her meads."

What Is Love?

Happy Valentines Day: "Imagine how many times the words "I love you" will be uttered. The word love is curious because it connotes such an intangible feeling that it defies defining. What do you mean when you say you love someone? I've heard of people saying they knew they loved someone the first week, they believe in "love at first sight," some hold back and don't say it for fear of getting hurt, and yet others use this phrase with ill intentions. This tiny, four letter word can wreak havoc or bliss on a relationship. But how do you know what someone else means when they bestow the word on you? And does it mean the same to you? What Is Love? Because love is an intangible emotion, it's difficult to know if you and your beloved mean the same thing when you tell each other you love them. We might know what WE mean when we use this phrase, but how do you ever know how deeply the emotions run for the other person? It's fascinating to me that "love" can be defined in a neat little box, established within certain parameters. When I surfed dictionary.com, there were several definitions listed for love: "A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that aris- ing from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness." A second definition was listed as "A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance." These definitions sound pretty close, but what exactly are YOU thinking when you say it to someone? Do you say it as a ready response to THEM saying it? Do you get the giggly feeling inside each time you say it to your honey? Have you ever said it and not meant it?. While none of us can begin to define love for ALL of us, we can each have our own ideas of what this emotion means. And then you need to do your best to articulate it to your partner. Allow me to propose MY definition of love (in no particular order): Love is supportive and encouraging. Love is kind, compassion- ate, and thoughtful. Love is sweet and nurturing. Love is your whole body coming alive when you see that person. Love is your heart singing an internal song out of pure bliss. Your heart, with all its attributes and flaws, has found its best friend. Love is your vulnerable, lovable self (however gently) willing to hand over your heart to someone else. Love is thinking of the other first, creating a safe and secure environment, and the calm and excitement in your day. And love is being proud of one another. Love is bringing out the best in each other and inspiring one another to do better. Love is about being the best you can be because you want to, for you AND your partner. Love is sharing similar (but not necessarily identical) outlooks on life, goals, and life issues. And most importantly, love is enduring. There might be times when one of you has to love more, but with a solid foundation of friendship, love won't fade. It doesn't go away. It just is. And, yes, love can be all the romantic things you read about in Hallmark cards. Feel free to disagree. Love is your heart swelling at the sight of his beautiful smile, the crinkling around his eyes, the sound of his voice, the way he is with his family, the way he watches over people and is protective, the thought of him first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and before you drift off to sleep. Love is happiness that he exists. Love is yummy in bed and the way his lovely lips feel on all your 2000 parts :) What love IS NOT. Many of you are experiencing rough patches in relationships and are confused about love. Again, but there are certain things that love ISN'T. Love is not selfish. Love does not make you choose between options that make you uncomfortable. Love does not ask you to compromise your beliefs and sense of who you are. Love does not force you to sacrifice your dreams. Love is not punishing and ugly. Love is not controlling, and love is not abusive."

Teddy Bear Bring Shame To Mental Illness

coffeebreak:" The president of the Vermont Teddy Bear Co. said she's sorry if her decision to keep selling the straitjacket-wearing bear has offended anyone. A day after the Vermont Human Rights Commission asked the company to pull the "Crazy for You" bear from its shelves, Elisabeth Robert said she has first-hand knowledge of how horrific mental illness can be. "You know, I feel as if I am being talked at, as if I don't know what pain can be caused," Robert told the Rutland, Vt., Herald. "I have, in my family, experienced real, profound pain over mental illness." The commission's campaign that started a month ago has drawn national attention and even prompted Gov. James Douglas to write a letter saying the bear is in poor taste and should not be sold. Robert said sales of the $70 bear picked significantly since word of the controversy spread. Response has split almost evenly between commission supporters and those who think the campaign smacks of political correctness.

Can you believe this!! Sometimes I think people will campaign for anything, if it means they get a chance in the spot light. Heck for all we know from the viewer point, This could be a smoke-screen from them to get their product out in the buying market, because I have a hard time believe someone is that bent out of shape...come-on its just a stuffed toy!"

Haunted - Windbreaker sells on eBay

coffeebreak :"A red fleece Chicago windbreaker haunted by a ghost named Phil has been sold on eBay, the Chicago Daily Southtown reported Monday. Construction worker Salvatore D'Andrea put the jacket up for sale for $2 Jan. 7, along with the jackets spooky background. He said he found the jacket in the closet of a home he moved into last summer. A day later, he said he heard crying from the closet. Then, he claimed his homes thermostat began to move without anyone touching it. The clothes in his closet rearranged themselves, with all the red articles moved to the front. D'Andrea said one night he saw a ghost who said its name was Phil. Said he didn't like kids or pets, was a friend of the family who lived there previously, and had been wearing the jacket when he died. Bidding on the jacket quickly moved beyond $2, and ended up being purchased by a Pennsylvania woman for $31.50, which D'Andrea said he'll use to buy another, ghost-free jacket.

You know.. I guess you never know what people will buy now days... In fact I also heard of some pretty strange stuff on JayLeno that he said people bought...Go Figure, so if life..LOL"

State Dept. Blocks Adoption of Tsunami Victims

I understand people wanting to help these children because they may be alone now...But, has anyone took in the fact that if you were to take in a children lets say 5-years or old from this crisises. The amount of therapy and trauma this child and your family will have to deal with, let alone the mounting medical bills to go with it. I think the groverment is right in saying people need to wait and see if someone claims these children first. Beside think, how you would feel in you finally got a child after years of trying to get one and then to find out, after you spent all the money to adopt one of the poor souls and their parent's were found, and you had to return them. Think of the heart-break for everyone. So yes I think it will take at least 6-months or more, before any child from the Tsunami crisis should be allowed to be adopted.

State Dept. Blocks Adoption of Tsunami Victims;"In response to many inquiries from concerned Americans, the U.S. Department of State has stated that it will not be possible for U.S. citizens to adopt children who have been orphaned by the tsunami that struck parts of South Asia.According to the State Department, the international standard in a crisis is to keep children as close to their family members as possible. It can be extremely difficult to determine whether children whose parents are missing are truly orphans. In the current situation, many children have become separated from one or both of their parents. Even when children are indeed orphaned, they are often taken in by other relatives. Staying with relatives in extended family units is generally a better solution than uprooting the child completely. The State Department believes that it will take many months before the situation in those countries affected by the tsunami stabilizes to the point where the countries will be able to identify the children who are legitimate orphans. It is only if and when these countries decide to make these orphans available for international adoption that American citizens will be able to begin adoption proceedings for these children."

My - New Year's Resolutions

I found this while surfing the Web! And thought...You know what I want this to be my Resolution for 2005, hope it helps you make your better too!!

1. GIVE YOUR HEART, COMPLETELY - Let me preface this by saying that this only applies if you find someone truly worthy of your love. Easier said than done, I know, but keep in mind that if you are willing to give everything you have, then you deserve someone who will reciprocate. In 2005, give your heart without strings attached, without maintaining conditions, and without fear of the relationship ending up as not what you needed or wanted. It's all about the process, and you can't experience it if you get in your own way.
2. INCREASE THE ANTICIPATION FACTOR - A surefire way to kick-start a routine sex life is to increase the anticipation factor. I often talk about putting a note or picture here or there for your beloved so they are surprised and looking forward to seeing (and touching) you all day. It could be even simpler than that. Cuddle on the couch and watch television together and gently stroke each other's arms or legs. Make this a prolonged event so that the anticipation continues to build. Lightly touch each other throughout the program or two, but don't actually kiss. By the time you get to the bedroom later that evening, you will both be extremely hot and bothered. BONUS: the prolonged foreplay, if you will, helps the woman become more aroused before even beginning intercourse, thereby increasing her chances of orgasm

3. TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER - This applies to in AND out of the bedroom. The smallest acts of kindness or consideration can translate into the boudoir later. Do little things for each other to make the day go easier, but without hidden agendas or self-interest. You love your partner, so naturally you want to make them feel good and do nice things for them, right? This applies to foreplay, too. Really, really take time to love your partner's body and do whatever it takes to make each other feel good. It's that simple."

Welcome To * 2005 *

Okay I was web surfing and found this site and new year letter, so thought I would give all you that went out partying last night- Abit of the hair from the dog that (bit- you) ..He he

Up Yours!; "Dear Slugs,

Congratulations, you're all another year closer to death. I hope you all had a belly full of boozing and whoring last night because whether you realize it or not you are all accelerating down that slippery slope that leads inevitably and inexorably toward a cold, cold grave. An eternal oblivion whose only function is the slow decompo- sition of what was once a disgusting, useless bag of meat. Hey, why stop now? What else have you got to live for? There must be some sort of booze or drugs laying around the flop house you're squatting in. Crack open a luke- warm one and spark up. It's the only thing you have going in your wretched lives. Trust me, mutants, they say when you hit rock bottom there's no place to go but up, and that would be true if it weren't for the lead weights of ignorance, stupidity, apathy and plain and simple bad breeding which are hanging around your necks dragging you down into the hole of failure which will eventually turn into your grave. Happy New Year and Welcome to the Year 2005"

Department Stores Discover That, Um,.. Sex Sells

NewYorkTimes; "Men cluster to me like moths around a flame," Marlene Dietrich croons over the sound system in the lingerie department at Henri Bendel in New York. Encouraging customers to get into the mood, loose-limbed mannequins wield riding crops, and others flaunt black lace blindfolds and thongs so sheer they expose a wedge of explicit anatomy. In the store's windows, instead of the customary Santas and sprigs of mistletoe, there are a pair of mannequins, one draped in fox and little else, another crouching to show off her lacy white knickers. Induced passers-by to press in so closely that their breath fogged the glass. In a climate in which strip and burlesque shows have been revived as hip entertainment, it not surprising that retailers are flouting taboos of their own. "There was a time when if you wanted a garter belt, you would ask for it in a low tone. Now it's a thing that's out in the open, where grown men and children walk by. Visitors to Saks are greeted by store dummies sporting thongs beneath marabou bed jackets. A handful of shoppers do appear to take offense. Confronted by the central exhibit in the new 6,500-square-foot, seven-room lingerie department at Bendel's, some customers promptly spun on their heels and stalked out. Other customers seemed unfazed. As scholars point out, fetish-style corsetry, blindfolds, black stockings and peekaboo lace date back at least to the turn of the last century. By the 1920's, all these things were in place in the culture, and that just hasn't changed. So familiar are such items in women's arsenal of seduction, that they have become domesticated, Ms. Steele said. Women tell themselves, `We're playing with this naughty cliché. Big deal. So what?' The latest Bendel's innovation, to be unveiled in time for Valentine's Day, is Rykiel Woman, a boutique within the lingerie department conceived by Nathalie Rykiel, a daughter of Sonia Rykiel, the Parisian fashion legend. Ms. Rykiel plans to stock the shop with vibrating rubber ducks and lipstick tubes, displayed alongside cashmere loungewear and garter belts. That way the same woman who sells you a cashmere sweater can show you how a vibrator works, she said."

Well ladies I guess we don't have to be afraid to be nasty!! Because the world is saying play & have fun, but I don't know if I'm just to old fashion for this stuff? Don't get me wrong, my daughter talked me into buying one of those panties that have the thin strip up the butt!!... Well lets just say, I didn't like the feelings it was give my rear..LOL if you know what I mean, so least to say it was a waste of money and made the trash the first day..

Muslin - Men want tax- write off for extra Wife's

Ya right!! Forgive me but if men can get a tax break, just because he becomes a Muslins. Then women should be allowed to have more then "One Husband" Too!! I think alot of Woman out their would ARGEE!! Then maybe we would finally feel like things get done..In our homes & Bedroom...LOL
Sorry guys just had to reply to this..
Britain may grant tax breaks for 2nd wives.British tax officials are considering breaks for Muslims who are allowed as many as four wives under religious rules to make taxes more "family friendly." Existing laws allow deductions for only one wife for inheritance tax purposes but Muslim activists are asking Inland Revenue to relax therules, the Times of London reports. "Wives and immediate children should be exempt from inheritance tax," Ahmad Thomson, of the Association of Muslim Lawyers, told the Times. "If the government is family friendly, they should change a tax which is unfairly hitting minority religious values." British law currently bans marrying more than one spouse at a time and such action could result in bigamy charges. Muslim women with second-, third- and fourth-wife status are considered mistresses under the law and have no legal or tax rights."

Doctor's Looking At Street Drugs To Help Patients

I truly feel this a a good thing, if someone I loved was dying and wanted these drugs to help them I will probley help them if I could too!! Washington;"For some, the diagnosis comes out of the blue. For others, it arrives after a long battle. Either way, the news that death is just a few months away poses a daunting challenge for both doctor and patient. Drugs can ease pain and reduce anxiety, but what about the more profound issues that come with impending death? The wish to resolve lingering conflicts with family members. The longing to know, before it's too late, what it means to love, or what it meant to live. There is no medicine to address such dis-ease. Or is there? This month, the Food and Drug Administration gave the green light to a Harvard proposal to test the benefits of the illegal street drug known as "ecstasy" in patients diagnosed with severe anxiety related to advanced cancer. Has been referred to by psychiatrists as a drug especially good at putting people in touch with their emotions. Some believe it could help patients come to terms with the biggest emotional challenge of all: the end of life. The FDA's approval puts the study on track to become the first test of a psychedelic substance since 1963 at Harvard, where drug guru Timothy Leary lost his teaching privileges after using students in experiments with LSD and other hallucinogens. It also marks a milestone for a small but increasingly effective movement favoring a more open-minded attitude toward the therapeutic potential of psychedelic drugs, virtually all of which have been criminalized and disparaged for decades as medically useless. Already, being tested for its ability to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Also studies are looking at the usefulness of magic mushrooms, in terminally ill cancer patients and in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Also hope to submit to the FDA an application to test psilocybin and LSD as treatments for cluster headaches. That would be a fitting birthday present for Albert Hofmann, the chemist who discovered both compounds while working for the Swiss drug company Sandoz and who turns 99 in January. Patients are being given psilocybin to see whether it can help them sort through emotional and spiritual issues. A "modest" dose of synthetic psilocybin, equivalent to two or three illicit mushrooms. They spend the next six hours or so in a comfortable setting with a psychiatrist, talking, thinking and sometimes listening to music with headphones. A 10-person study of psilocybin for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Also no complications in any of the five patients who have enrolled in his 20-person study for victims of violence struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. This is not about hippy dippy Halpern trying to turn on the world. I'm not looking at this as a magic bullet," he said. "But for a lot of people, the anxiety about death is so tremendous that there is no way to get their arms around the problems. Widow of the author and metaphysical pioneer Aldous Huxley, said her husband asked for and she provided a dose of LSD as he lay dying in 1963. "He wanted to be aware, took a wide array of psychedelics in the weeks leading up to his death from cancer in 1996. Some suspect the drugs clouded rather than sharpened his perceptions, but he died with a positive attitude. "It's kind of interesting really," he said of dying, talking to a friend in his final days. "You should try it sometime."
