How to Understand The dangers of Methadone with Dr Rodriquez and Delray Center – The dangers of Methadone “So lets talk about the dangers of methadone. Methadone is a medication that carries of a lot of urban legend, a lot of phulpur, and a lot of mixed public opinion. Some of the real facts about Methadone is that yes it is an effective treatment for heroin and opioid dependence. It is also an effective pain medication and coming off of Methadone in terms of withdrawal is more difficult then regular opiates. However, what is little known about Methadone is that it is extremely dangerous in overdose. Much more so then pretty much any other opiate out there. The problem with Methadone is that it can kill you two different ways. both of which usually accidentally. The first is by simple overdose, just taking too much.

California Poppy
California poppy, or Eschscholzia californica, is a perennial and annual herb with bright orange flowers, native to the West Coast of North America. Herbalists use the aerial parts to treat insomnia, anxiety and nerve pain. It contains potent but nonaddictive alkaloids that affect brain receptors, and the plant has anti-spasmodic, sedative and anti-anxiety actions. You can take it before bedtime if you suffer from insomnia. In their 2001 book, “Herbal Remedies,” naturopathic doctors Asa Hershoff and Andrea Rotelli recommend the California poppy to reduce nervousness and tension during withdrawal and to normalize your mental and emotional functions. Do not combine this herb with other sedatives.

Question by Grim Reaper: What incentive do drug companies have for genuinely looking for cures?
Aren’t they more concerned with finding “treatments” instead of cures to get patients to continue purchasing their pills/products?

Best answer:

Answer by Amaretta
They’d still have plenty of patients for their cures. Their incentive is that the formula for their medicine is protected by patent laws for 7 years, which gives them the exclusive right to produce that medicine. After seven years, other companies can produce generic varieties of the same meds more cheaply and make them available to the public. They’d love to produce medications that provide genuine cures, but the required research, refining and testing can take years before they can bring a product to market.
