My Dad Has Just Been Diagnosed With Myasthenia Gravis. Does Anyone Have Any Personal Experiences to Share?

Best answer:

Answer by onlymatch4u
The typical methodology and approach the medical people use is based on the “autoimmune” theory that has been debunked by most people in the world, but still remains as “fact” in the U.S. One thing the medical people suggest is to remove the thymus gland! Well if the body isn’t working, let’s just remove parts and that should fix it! Same logic as, well the gallbladder isn’t working right, let’s just remove it!

How Do Drug Dealers Get Dianobol and All These Other Anabolic Steroids?

Question by Marina: How do drug dealers get dianobol and all these other anabolic steroids?
I am a female and really have no use for anabolic steroids, but I have always wondered. I work in a pharmacy and we usually stock Testosterone cypoinate in injectable form and Androgel, and Axiron which is testosterone in a gel. This is just synthetic testosterone made to replace the hormone that is usually made naturally in a man. My husband is into lifting weights and fitness all natural (no steroids) but he keeps hearing people buying Dianobol and Trenbolone ie Tren from some people in the bodybuilding business. In my 10 years of being a pharmacy technician I have never come across a doctor writing a prescription for Dianobol or Tren so this begs the question. Where are these people getting the stuff. I know drug dealers either manufacture their own stuff like (methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, heroin.) Others doctor shop for stuff like Vicodin, Adderall, Oxycontin and sell them. Doctor shopping being the illegal act of going to different doctors, faking a condition and acquiring an prescription. Do dealers actually make their own steroids and sell them, or is there actually doctors who will prescribe these steroids and then sell them on the side. I am just curious, looking from answers from people in law enforcement perhaps DEA, or bodybuilders or dealers. Please no generic preachy answers like “Steroids are bad mkay”. I obviously know the dangers of drug abuse and witness them myself remember I work in a pharmacy, and no my husband is not looking for steroids he just asked me thinking I might know but I honestly don’t. Thanks for reading, and appreciate any real answers.

Do You Believe Marijuana Is Bad, and Whether It Should Be Legal?

Question by Liam: Do you believe marijuana is bad, and whether it should be legal?
Personally, I think there is nothing wrong with it. The only thing that can make its use “suggestive”, is that it’s illegal. The reasons for its legal status are not very noteworthy, either. Companies from the early 1900’s knew that hemp was going to bankrupt them all, because of all of its uses. Thus, those companies made things such as Reefer Madness to scare the public into thinking marijuana is immoral and should be illegal. The government should see now that studies are and have been conducted, and pointing towards the idea that marijuana is not bad, and even has many varying health benefits. If marijuana were legalized, law enforcement could stop worrying about the use of marijuana, and crack down on the use of harder drugs with horrible addictions, and harmful effects, such as meth. Anyways, that is how I view the cannabis plant. I believe it should be legal, and is a gift from nature. However, I do respect the opinion of others, and if you think that marijuana is not your thing, or something of that sort, then that is fine. But please do not go around telling people it destroys your brain, and ruins your life, and kills you. That is just not true. I do not wish for a fight here, just looking for others views on this subject.
