Drug addiction and dependence differ
between sexes due to varying reasons
New York 1/15/2010 08:07 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)
The National Institute on Drug Abuse issued a report that indicates women are affected much differently than men are when it comes to drugs and dependence on a drug. The report suggests that for certain illicit drugs, a woman may proceed more rapidly to drug dependence than a man.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse research continues in an effort to pinpoint what biological mechanism contributes to this finding. Early research seems to indicate a connection with a woman’s menstrual cycle. In certain phases of her menstrual cycle, a woman requires a higher dosage of the particular drug to experience the same level of intensity than a man.

Alternative medicine consists of products or treatments used for health benefits, but is not always evidence-based. It is often based on cultural and traditional health practices or more recent disproved theories that have remained popular within certain fringe groups. Common types include homeopathy, acupuncture, herbalism and bio-identical hormone therapy.
Generally speaking, complimentary medicine is less regulated, or self-regulated, and should be required to meet the same standards as conventional medicine. Despite little evidence for alternative medicine, public support is growing.

There’s a new vaccine for nicotine addiction, and another one for drug addiction. There’s an AIDS vaccines (which doesn’t work) and a vaccine for cervical cancer that’s been approved for use on boys (boys don’t have a cervix). Through the pharmaceutical industry, the big push for vaccines is on!
But why, exactly? Is there suddenly a new rash of epidemic disease requiring vaccine treatments? No, not really. What’s new is the way Big Pharma is latching on to these diseases as new opportunities to sell more drugs.
…There’s a strong belief in the medical industry that babies are born deficient in vaccines and that such deficiencies must be “corrected” as soon as possible….
