THE
ALL PARTY PARLIAMENTARY
GROUP
FOR PRESCRIBED DRUG
ADDICTION IS OPENING A PHONE
“HELP LINE” FOR
SUFFERERS
IN
PLACE OF THE REAL SOLUTION !
With three million U.K.
citizens who are innocent Prescribed Drug Addicts, it is at first
sight heartening to learn that the above APPG is reaching out to help
them.
But when you examine the list
of organisations the APPG has signed up to its “initiative” you
find no offer of participation by the only organisations which can
actually deliver a cure for existing Prescribed Drug Addiction.
Life spoiling medically
induced drug addiction can obviously be “prevented” by stopping
the prescribing of addictive drugs. But it can only be “cured”
by managed long term, small dose, step-down gradual withdrawal, based
on maximum 5% step-downs at whatever time intervals the patient can
comfortably confront.
This however necessitates the
provision and easy availability of small doses of all the addictive
medical prescription drugs. All the Benzos, the “C” drugs, the
“Z” drugs and the anti-psychotics, etc., etc., etc.
AND
WITHOUT AN EASILY AVAILABLE SUPPLY OF THESE SMALL DRUG DOSES, ANY
STEP-DOWN WITHDRAWAL WILL INEVITABLY FAIL.
But the pharmaceutical
companies don't want to make them for three reasons:
1) They say: “they are both
difficult and expensive to make”, and,
2) They say: “they are
costly to stock” and “in any event there is no call for them”,
but the truth is that
3) Their main concern is that
by helping effective withdrawal they will lose a valuable consumer,
dedicated to their product by irresistible addiction, and guaranteed
paid for by the N.H.S. A consumer they and their psychiatric
running mates have worked long and hard to enrol as a lifelong easy
income source.
As a result, without
legislation to force the production of small doses suitable for
comfortable step-down withdrawal, IT IS NEVER EVER GOING TO HAPPEN !
Is this because the Members of
the APPG for Prescribed Drug Addiction are afraid of Big Pharma, or
is it because some of them are part of Big Pharma, or is it because
some of them rely on pharmaceuticals for part of their income, or is
it because some of them value the pharmaceutical industries ?
In essence, it is for all four
reasons.
National politicians amongst
the APPG members value the employment opportunities and the taxes
which the pharmaceuticals provide, and pharma factory bosses never
hesitate to frighten local politicians with employee lay-off threats
in order to defeat proposals they don't like.
Insofar as psychiatric and
psychological APPG members are “pushers” of pharmaceutical drugs
or are employed in pharma related jobs, they obviously have no wish
to upset the apple-cart by supporting real and positive legislative
measures if those measures are unacceptable to their pharma friends.
As a result, because of the
above factors, much of the work of this APPG is focussed on
pussy-footing around the Prescribed Drug Addiction problem in a
manner calculated to look as if they are concerned whilst
preserving the status-quo in terms of Big Pharma viability.
In
other words it is no more than a P.R. exercise in mutual
back-scratching, which will never produce the small doses that three
million existing prescription addicts need in order to be able to
comfortably withdraw from addiction, and which all U.K. taxpayers
need in order to slash the overwhelming size of the N.H.S's huge and
unnecessary drugs bills.
