“MAY” Means “Allowed To”, and Theresa Definitely Has My Permission.




NO MATTER WHICH WAY SHE


 VOTED ON THE EU, SHE IS STILL


 THE RIGHT PERSON TO


BREXIT US SUCCESSFULLY.


I never always agreed with Theresa May when she was Home Secretary, and I guess I am also likely to have some disagreements with her as Prime Minister.

But, I like her style, I admire her dedication and hard work, and I am very sure SHE IS THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB !

However, she is going to need to urgently clean up a few troubling sectors of the society (for which I personally would be happy to offer some help) and handling those sectors is going to make handling the economy so much easier.

Those problem creating areas can be summed up under three main headings:

1) All forms of addiction (legal, illegal and prescription),

2) The National Health Service, Public Health England and the DoH,

3) Fairer Economic and Social balance in our communities.

These three sectors lap over into each other AND into most other government Departments, so that if we get these three right, the rest tend to look after themselves.

Obviously, in seeking success, any government must juggle Income Collection, Worthwhile Spending, Waste Reduction and Justice / Fairness, and practically all our current and future problems are created by a failure to reduce waste – mainly because of the false and selfish ideas generated by vested interests in the society, about what IS ESSENTIAL and what IS NOT, and therefore also what IS WASTE and what IS NOT.

Out of a U.K. population of some 64 Million we have 2.4 million addicted to prescription medical drugs, nearly 200,000 addicted to prescription habit management drugs, 500,000 addicted to illicit drugs and at least as many again drunk once a week – some daily and permanently.

That's a total of some 5.625% of our population not only nearly continuously incapacitated but also 3.6 million people whose drunken and drugged behaviour is having to be paid for by the rest of the working population.

But the “working population” actually contributing to the U.K. Gross National Product is NOT all of our 64 million of population.

Because there are numerous under 18s in education, as well as old, infirm and incapacitated citizens, military personnel, police, civil servants, the unemployed, prison and social workers, etc., - the truly productive working population is closer to only 36 million, so that 56% of the population are supporting the rest, and that “rest” includes 10% of adult citizens nearly continuously incapacitated by drink and especially by drugs - and contributing only “trouble”.

Now start counting up the cost to taxpayers of supporting that 10%.

According to the Government's own National Audit Office, the 200,000 of methadone OST prescribed addicts alone costs £9.4 BILLION EVERY YEAR to maintain, but because that massive wastage is spread across numerous government Departments, most politicians are SELDOM IF EVER AWARE of this.

The 2.628 BILLION of tablets, pills, capsules and liquid doses which EVERY YEAR go down the throats of 2.4 million medically addicted (mainly old people) is another Taxpayer DAILY COST of £7,200,000, which in most cases daily goes on for the rest of those addicted patients' lifetimes.

In examining police, probation, prison officer, Magistrate, Judges', Barristers', Solicitors', social workers' and civil servants' time, expenditure and effort, we annually find another few billions or more £pounds of taxpayers' money being wasted on the half million or so amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine, heroin, skunk, designer drug and other sorts of illicit addicts.

Not to mention the cost of the nearly totally ineffective psychiatric and pharmaceutical prescription so-called “treatments” of such “illicit” addicts for which families and Taxpayers foot the often repetitive bill.

But what is most annoying is that, whilst the still prevailing Department of Health psycho-pharm “treatments” have failed miserably to cure more than 3% of such addicts, ever since 1966 – for 50 years – there has internationally been available a hugely effective residential programme of not-for-profit centres for training addicts in self-help recovery to lasting relaxed abstinence.

THIS HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL THAT THERE ARE NOW NEARLY ONE HUNDRED SUCH TRAINING CENTRES (INCLUDING PRISON UNITS) IN 49 COUNTRIES.

But ACCESS TO British Government Ministers for the heads of the charitable organisations which deliver these services has for years been denied by the smear campaigns of those psycho-pharm vested interests who want to go on daily selling their addictive chemical substances to as many U.K. citizens as possible.

Then there are the thousands of British school children of all ages being basically force-fed Ritalin, Prozac and various other psychiatric drugs, by school psychiatrists and nurses, for invented so-called mental psychiatric “disorders” such as ADHD and SAD. This is an important pharmaceutical drugs marketing ploy, because the younger you can get a child addicted, the longer he or she will remain a profitable and compliant consumer.

Nearly ALL of course paid for by U.K. taxpayers.

As a consequence, IF it might appear that this one subject of “Drink & Drug Consumption and ADDICTION” is the most significant and vital of the three “troubling sectors” mentioned at the beginning of this blog-post, then that is only because DRINK & DRUG CONSUMPTION are together what do most to destroy all facets of the society and the economy upon which our survival most depends, including our National Health Service and the economic balance within our society.

The National Health Service each year spends an increasing amount on drugs and medicines (proportionally higher than any other service supplied by the NHS).

This is because of the palliative orientation of “symptom management” practices which (by psycho-pharm cash grants to medical teaching facilities) has gradually been made to dominate doctors' training over the last eighty years, to the increasing exclusion of more thorough pre-treatment testing, and the omitting of cure interventions based on detecting and handling dietary deficiencies and excesses, and based on allergenic investigations and avoidance of allergies' causal factors.

Most of the massive, wasteful, no longer necessary and in fact damaging addictive drug prescribing, over-prescribing and usage TAKES PLACE WITHIN the NHS.

And whilst most members of our society consume alcohol, it is in a sense mainly those who choose to buy the alcohol alone (and not the accompanying meal which should provide balance for the drink) who cause a lot of the ensuing trouble.

In fact, when you look at our town streets and pubs on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, you can quickly see that policing, cleaning up the mess, stopping fights and treating accident and fight injuries, repairing property and vehicle damage, keeping the peace and the handling of offenders in the courts, and occasionally eventually on probation and in jail, PRETTY WELL EATS UP MOST OF THE ALCOHOL TAXES collected by the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

But it's the LOCAL Council, the LOCAL Police, the LOCAL Shopkeepers, the LOCAL Doctors, Ambulance men and Hospitals and the LOCAL Courts which cover all these LOCAL costs – NOT the Chancellor who spends his alcohol tax collections (plus taxes from the pharmaceutical industry) on keeping 10% of the working population ADDICTED to psycho-pharm prescription drugs in the name of so-called “mental health”.

The trouble of course is that for over a century our population and our politicians have been very professionally conned into believing the stories about the “ethical” drugs industry, about what they contribute to the economy, about the “nice big” taxes they pay and obviously about how good drugs are for our health.

And don't make the mistake of thinking that some of this P.R. is not true.

Because, whilst some ruthless massive international pharmaceutical producers make fortunes by skating on the thin edge of honesty, humanity and the law (a fact proved by the number of court cases they lose and the vast penalties they regularly have to pay), most producers make normal profits and do produce, market and deliver ethical products serving humane and valuable purposes.

However, where many of them come adrift is when they try to expand from the field of physical medicine into that of psychiatry's version of “mental health”.

This is because the whole concept of the mind and mental health, as espoused by seriously flawed international psychiatry, proves to be a totally unreliable and damaging basis for the prescribing of most chemical substances – especially those of an addictive and / or hypnotic nature.

The bulk of “substances” which provide the first step towards alleviating the true, realistic and actual adverse mental health conditions are fresh good quality natural nutrition, balanced nutrition, natural vitamins, natural minerals and other healthy food and supplements, the prescribing of which is based on thorough and adequate testing, including the detection and handling of allergic conditions.

As long as the pharmaceutical industry continues to rely on psychiatric guidance in the field of mental health, they will find themselves getting further INTO the psychiatric mine-fields, instead of OUT, and paying more and more penalties.

It is my personal hope that Mrs May, with her already great experience of Home Office affairs, will soon combine that wisdom, with a new and closer experience of other Departments, into a coherent avoidance, prevention, eradication and ADDICTION RECOVERY TRAINING strategy.

And I believe she has the breadth and sharpness of perception to recognise that addiction can never be a ONE Department problem relying on a ONE Department solution, because ADDICTION impinges upon and requires some of its solution FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS – especially 10, Downing Street.

You Cannot Become Addicted To A Drug Which You Never Use


BECAUSE IT IS THE


USE


OF DRUGS

WHICH ALONE CREATES

 ADDICTION.



Not misuse, abuse or a psychiatrically invented so-called

“addictive personality”.    Just straightforward USE !


The Home Office is likely the busiest, hard-working and most wide ranging U.K. government Department, covering, as it does, a majority of our home affairs and the protection of all our citizens against a variety of every day threats.

(Which incidentally is why many observers consider that the Home Office experienced Theresa May may well emerge as one of the best Prime Ministers we have ever had).

As a consequence, in order to cover policing, fire prevention, probation, prisons, addictive drug distribution and usage, border control, immigration, terrorism, alcohol strategy, crime reduction and prevention, etc., Home Office staff work with 28 different agencies and public bodies which are expected to be independent, expert, sometimes executive and occasionally advisory.

Into the latter category falls the ACMD (Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs), which carefully and cleverly fails to address more than one-third of the country's addiction issues, and thus avoids blaming Council members or their industry colleagues for their part in the acceleration and growth of addiction in this country.

Unfortunately, whilst it is clearly great on “advice”, the ACMD is neither independent nor expert, and in its published “Work Programme”, basically misses the point in respect of WHAT THE COUNTRY REALLY NEEDS. Which is:

1) to actually REDUCE and AVOID the increasing devastating scourge of addictive drug usage of every sort, and consequent debilitating addiction, which attacks the economy, the life of the community and that of the individual and his or her family, and,

2) to RECOVER victims of substance addiction to the natural state of relaxed abstinence into which 99% of them were born, thus also salvaging the economy.

Even the very title: “Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs” tells us that the Council is not expected to actually achieve very much, and is not truly independent.

This is because psychiatric & pharmacological professionals, in order to avoid any blaming of the psycho-pharmaceutical fraternity's practices & products, have for decades been successfully accusing drug USERS (rather than the drugs) for causing their own addiction by so-called “misuse” and “abuse”. So the ACMD membership is in no way independent of their employers.

Significantly, over half the membership of the ACMD is comprised of pharmacologists and psychiatrists, the very professionals responsible for researching, inventing and MANUFACTURING ADDICTIVE DRUGS AND PRESCRIBING THEM.

SO LET US BE VERY CLEAR – BY DIFFERENTIATING PROPERLY.

The ACMD carefully advises ONLY on illicit drugs, because it is their professions which are responsible for the 2.4 MILLION involuntary LEGAL drug addicts they have already created in the U.K., and which they have no wish to cure (or even advise on or discuss) because it is those sales – via the N.H.S. and paid for by the U.K. taxpayer – which are their profitable addiction produced daily bread and butter.

And those 2.4 Million addicted patients are in addition to the millions of other N.H.S. patients who also gratefully receive doses of useful and non-addictive pharmaceutically produced and G.P. prescribed medicines, which are daily and helpfully dispensed to U.K. patients.

In other words, EVERY DAY, an additional SEVEN MILLION OR MORE PER DAY of ADDICTIVE pharmaceutically produced drug doses also go down the throats of N.H.S. psychiatrically labelled and prescribed “mental health” patients living at home or in care.

But if the involuntarily addicted are “patients”, for what condition are they being treated?  And the only honest answer is: “They are having their involuntary addiction “managed”  (i.e. the addiction which mis-prescribing inflicted upon them in the first place).”

And here we have the real MISUSE of drugs, because addictive drugs were never intended to be used as a means of ensuring basically automatic daily sales of well over seven million profitable doses each and every day for the rest of those patients lives – just to ensure a continuing market for profitable psychiatrically prescribed pharmaceutical products – usefully (from the suppliers' viewpoint) paid for in bulk by U.K. taxpayers, not by the individual patients.

Neither the Department of Health nor the N.H.S. are capable of curing drug addiction, a fact which is proven by their dedication to the commissioning of “providers” to “rehabilitate” (not cure) addicts, or just to “manage” their addiction.

Which activities seldom result in the production of lasting relaxed abstinence.

Yet the ACMD continues to lure the Home Office into the false belief that illicit drug usage is the WHOLE addiction problem, and that LEGAL MEDICAL drug usage should be ignored, because "that" is Department of Health business !

As a result we have a massive hole in our addiction policy.  Note that.  In our ADDICTION policy – not DRUG policy.  Because it is not medication which is the problem.  It is ADDICTIVE AND HYPNOTIC DRUG PRODUCING AND PRESCRIBING which is the problem, and whilst the producers know a lot about making drugs, they know absolutely nothing about addiction and how to cure it.

Expecting the manufacturers of drugs to know how to cure addiction, is like expecting the manufacturers of razor-sharp scalpels to be the best surgeons, or the manufacturers of bullets to be the best marksmen !

Drug addiction, and the damaging conditions it inflicts on the society, the economy and on individuals is a bigger problem than terrorism, because terrorism actually depends on addictive drug usage for much of the development and control of its “warriors”.

Committing a hapless individual to a life of addiction is a vile crime, when the pusher is a criminal looking for a quick buck.

But, persuading an individual that he can “solve his problem” with an addictive drug is the same crime, even when the pusher is a professional adviser, and especially when that psychiatrist or other physician knows full well that it is the usage of that drug over only a very short period which is, in the vast majority of cases, going to make that patient into a drug dependent addict for life.

The pharmaceutical producers know this, and ENOUGH OF THEM USE THIS FACT TO MAXIMISE THEIR SALES AND PROFITS, AND SO ARE JUST AS MUCH CRIMINALS AS THE ILLICIT GROWERS AND SMUGGLERS.

However, they are not regarded as part of the massive addiction problem on which the Home Office SHOULD be taking genuinely independent advice in an effort to reduce the threat to the U.K's population posed by addictive behaviour.

Far too many politicians and civil servants, and especially the Home Office, still seem to be blind-folded and ear-plugged on this subject, so that more and more policy-makers need to recognise the direction in which addiction is inevitably taking our families and communities, and become aware that:

* Addicts cause the most accidents at work.
* Addicts mug and rob old people.
* Addicts and drunks cause most road accidents.
* Addicts sell drugs to children (and others).
* Addicts increase the numbers of prostitutes and
toy-boys’ in our towns,
* Addicts disrupt our schools, the education of our
children and the life of our communities,
* Addicts bankrupt businesses and destroy jobs.
* Addicts break into and burgle peoples' homes.
* Addicts spread HIV, AIDS and hepatitis.
* Addicts waste our tax money and other resources.
* Addicts and drunks commit the most crimes,
* Addicts (even if involuntarily addicted) cause a bigger
                                  drain on the N.H.S, than any other set of patients,

And addicts are undoubtedly the real current threat to our lives and to everybody’s future. (And that includes addicts on illicit, legal, licensed and prescribed drugs.)

This is because their addiction controls them, and THIS AFFECTS EVERYBODY,

EVERYONE’S FAMILY, EVERYONE’S INCOME, EVERY JOB, EVERYONE’S HEALTH AND EVERYBODY’S HOME !

It therefore follows that in a country like the U.K., its Home Office, which claims responsibility for protection of the population and its future wellbeing, should be the Department which enforces on all other Departments those policies that:

1) reduce the number of individuals starting on drug usage, by providing effective addiction prevention and usage avoidance training, and,

2) those policies which provide effective cures for existing drug addicts, including recovery to the natural state of relaxed abstinence into which 99% of the population is born.

Without these policies being widely and effectively implemented the Government will inevitably continue to create a nation where the majority of its citizens will eventually become addicts, and thus all eventually be bio-chemically controlled zombies.

Even if there were no existing cure for drug addiction, the above indicated current government attitude towards addictive drug production and prescribing would NOT be of any use to a society which needs and wants to be addiction free - unless factions within our Government covertly seeks population control by drugging ??

But there has been a sure cure for drug addiction for over 50 years which, via black propaganda, covert attacks, criticism and ridicule, etc., international psychiatry and pharmaceutical interests have been determinedly trying to have shut-down and made unbelievable and unapproachable for 66 years.

Nevertheless one residential self-help addiction recovery TRAINING programme has been expanding across the world since 1966, and today has nearly a hundred centres (including prison units) in 49 countries.  But the ACMD doesn't want representatives of that programme advising the Home Office, because the harsh light of truth they would shine on the U.K. addiction problem, “would not be good for the business of psycho-pharm interests.”

Unsurprisingly, one professional acquaintance, whose application to join the ACMD was refused, said that, in his experience and opinion, the initials more accurately stood for All Completely Misleading Delegates !
