Question by Hannah: HELP!!! HOW DO I FIGHT TREATMENT?! INPATIENT PROGRAM FOR BULIMIA!??!?
My EVIL parents who sent me to an outpatient program for bulimia talked with the doctors and they have agreed to send me to an inpatient program! I don’t even get what the big deal is! I throw up less than once a day now (usually just once a day) and I don’t even binge anymore! I even gained 4 pounds for them!!! I could stop if I really wanted to on my own and I don’t need to be hospitalized!
I’m 17 years old and I was wondering if I have any legal right about this- can I refuse treatment? I really really don’t need the treatment, I’m totally fine and could stop right now if I wanted to stop!

Question by a person: Am I the only person who thinks the dog island is either stupid or a scam? The poor puppies!?
I really need to know what people think of this! This is madness! How could they do that to those dogs? Do you know that they could die? They act like that’s healthy, normal, and great! Disgusting! And some people’s good tax money is going there for funding? And then they have a whole CD where you can listen to a pack fight! A PACK FIGHT! Hello, that’s not making your dog happy! That’s giving it the death sentence and turning it into a monster! And have you heard thier cheesy philosophy? Idiotic! Pure stupidity! They compare our little puppies and all the love we give them to slavery! They talk about dogs like slaves, saying they should be free! And they lie! How is a little pomerainian or Chiwawa (pardon my spelling) supposed to catch, kill, and eat rodents? I could maybe understand if they were feeding and like rehabilitating the dogs (puppy rehab) and some scientists said that this would help them with violence issues or something, but no! Just some “dog lover”! Stop DogIsland!

Dog Island is an urban legend. The website is a farce. According to www.snopes.com.

This is a direct quote from www.snopes.com:
The Dog Island site is a hoax playing on western revulsion of Asian dog-eating practices, and its creators deliberately used names identical to those of persons and companies in China who process dogs for human consumption (for example, the “Dawn Fine Bred Dog Center” of which Dog Island is supposedly a subsidiary, the city of Pexian, and the name “Han Fei” are all references to the Dawn Fine Bred Meat Dog Center, a commercial operation in China where dogs are raised for meat.

There is a place called Dog Island off the coast off the northern panhandle of Florida, but it’s not a canine sanctuary. Most of it is owned by the Nature Conservancy, and they work with the Barrier Island Trust to “preserve the island in its natural state.”

The whole Dog Island does sound a little fishy to me, but you needn’t worry… it’s all just a silly hoax. 🙂

Addiction and Physical Dependancy are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. If you don’t have the biology of addiction, you can get physically dependent upon a substance but once you detox from it, you won’t think about doing it again… “Addiction” isn’t the act of doing drugs but being unable to stop CRAVING and NEEDING to do them once you detox from them.

Example: Lets take 2 males. Each is 25 years old, each is white, each is healthy overall. Both of them get in IDENTICAL car accidents. Both break their legs and throw out their backs. Both are put on Opiate Pain Medication, lets say Hydrocodone.

? Guy 1 has no family history of addiction.
? Guy 2 has an aunt and grandpa that have drinking problems and his mom REALLY likes weed.

Both feel REALLY good when taking the pain medication. Both get identical tolerance to the medication as their injuries heal and BOTH end up having to take more to get the same pain control.

Both heal and their doctors stop giving them the Opiates. Both start to detox from the Opiates.

Both feel Shaky and feel increased pain in their backs and suffer headaches as their bodies try to get them to take more Opiates.

About a week after running out of pills, after he has FULLY detoxed and no longer has ANY drugs in his system guy 1 is back at work and never thinks about taking pills ever again while guy 2 CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT GETTING MORE CODINE!!!! He goes back to his doctor and says “My back and leg still hurt, can I get more pills?” and keeps taking them.

“Addiction” isn’t doing drugs.
“Addiction” is about being UNABLE TO STOP DOING DRUGS.

If you do a bunch of coke in college or smoke weed and can stop doing it without fixating on doing more, getting more, needing more, then you are not an addict, you are abusing drugs but not addicted to them.

Approximately 30% of the human species has the genetics for addiction. Of that 30%, approximately 9% have the brain biology to get addicted to marijuana.

Meaning:
? 30% of 7 billion = 2,100,000,000
? 9% of 2,100,000,000 = 189,000,000

? So, if we got all 7 billion humans to start smoking weed, only 189,000,000 would become addicted to it.
? So, If we got all 7 billion humans to start drinking alcohol or do heroin, 2,100,000,000 would become addicted to it.

“Drugs” cover every single chemical on earth, each one does a different thing to your body…

Ecstasy, LSD, and Amphetamines increase Serotonin in the brain to the point where your body burns out the production centers for Serotonin and the excess Serotonin becomes a toxin that damages brain tissue. Periodic use is pretty harmless but the damage is accumulative, so the more you do the more your brain is damaged.

Marijuana only causes long term damage to the brain if the person doing it is under about the age of 18. Before then, the brain is still developing and that development is harmed by the weed. It inhibits the ability for the kid to reach developmental milestones in terms of emotional regulation, coping mechanisms, and relationships. So when you meet a 23 year old that is emotionally 16, you’ll know when they started smoking weed.

Alcohol is toxic to every cell in the body. It is the only perception altering drug people use for recreation that can kill you when you stop using it. Google “The DT’s”. If you drink a lot and then stop, it can send your brain into shock and Seizures. Alcohol detox is almost always done in a hospital before going to rehab because of the dangers of withdrawal.

Opiates have the most profound addiction but are the least likely to cause brain damage or death. Addicts die because of contaminants when they inject the drugs. This leads to strokes, clots, and hemorrhages on top of Hepatitis or HIV.

OTC Drugs like Dextromethorphan in Cough Syrup are deliriants. They make you lose touch with reality and lead to all sorts of stupid acts on top of the brain damage from taking them.
