the sad thing is most doctors dont even look at research after they leave medical school.
to truly keep up to date, would involve not only researching illegal treatments and things that arent "kosher" as far as big pharma and the state are concerned -- but WORK -- addiction is a big one of these they'd rather keep you addicted to their maintenance drugs than quit which is worse or the same as street drugs.
but you'd also need to spend you're free time continually reading medical studies. Often ones that ARENT pumped up by drug reps because it makes their shit look even worse.
people dont do that. in fact, some do but their employers have them do shady shit -- like rehab psychiatrists -- i wrote one of them a letter when I went about how I shouldnt take last ditch seizure meds that cause permanent tremors (i.e. brain damage) just because they could test me for it -- the woman said "you should be a pharmacologist you really know your shit!"
of course I do. I read all the documentation. ALL of it. all the consumer reports, all the medical studies some of which I did have to steal.
it takes hours on just a single thing and being educated in medicine isnt going to change that. and then, as a doctor I see a second problem. me treating myself -- I can buy drugs and shit on the black market and just guinea pig myself to hell -- the doctor would lose their license even if it works!
so... yeah. Ive been my own doctor for years. 99% of the time i walk into my GM and tell him what I need. I cant tell him the entire situation or he'd just ban me. but its the reality here.
and ive done a better job than most of them. simply by reading the data and coming to my own interpreted conclusions.
basically If i find promising research that gets cut short, I guinea pig myself as a test subject in further experimentation. I could die since im basically doing it old-school without animal testing -- human testing on myself. but i consent to it more than an animal.
truth be told, this attitude developed for survival. For one, when I was under state control I had to manipulate them not to hurt me with bad drugs which is basically par for the course -- and I also needed to find a way to cure opiate addiction permanently.
that situation really forced me into this mentality. truth be told I even lied to multiple doctors, including my own GM manipulating them into supporting my story and heading off other doctors as well -- and nobody in the situation had any idea at all. GM just agreed rehab drugs were bad drugs he didnt really realize I was playing 5d chess against the state.
nah submitted myself to rehab to get out of some minor things. it was my first time in trouble and I had no drugs just paraphernalia.
I offered to go to rehab since I genuinely wanted to anyway -- in the end it didnt help me quit, just got me addicted to suboxone, but it did wipe my record clean.
In the end I Had to find a way to quit the suboxone myself, since it was its own ball and chain forcing me either between private doctors not covered by any insurance or street deals. its basically a huge con to create a black market -- GMs should be able to prescribe it, instead they limit supply to mostly corrupt doctors and rehabs who push the interests of big pharama which is to not get people off, since its actually tougher to quit than heroin
most people who get it prescribed either dont need it and take 1 hydro to piss hot before going in, or even if they do need it chronically ask for way more than they need -- like 3 boxes -- mostly to sell since there are no pill counts and need on the street is impossible to provide for the way they do it.
regular GMs need to prescribe, and also people need to accept the narcan in suboxone does nothing. bupe has higher binding affinity so you still can IV it.
that doesnt mean you'll get high, but combined with dealing there is massive financial incentive to inject.
say you need half a tab realistically a day -- iv'ing 1/4 of 1/4 of a tab is enough. so that means one single days dose gets extended combine that with the fact that once you're in, you're in because insurance covers the script just not the visit, and the $20 a pop on the street more than pays for you're subs and some luxury -- and the police know about it but cant do anything about it for the most part due to corruption...
so yeah. that system doesnt work. they refuse to believe the true science because of some stupid suboxone course which I've accused reckett and benickiser of fraud on openly before.
Im serious. they lied to the FDA to get it approved as an opioid treatment that none of what im saying is possible. the course is demonstrably against science.
also i dont know who thought a 2 month withdrawal was better than a slightly more intense 2 week withdrawal. I had WISHED i cold turkeyed heroin when I quit and never listened to them. I felt i needed it and wasnt ready. but when I was ready I had to switch to my own treatment using things like kratom, and dxm to wean myself down and quit.
im opiate free for like 7-8 years now or something. the years pass by and i stop counting.
Ive been blowing the whistle like crazy through FDA emails, reddit arguments, and claims like this for a long time that its a corrupt situation which benefits dealers and does not in any way, even by their own logic, actually combat addiction. the addiction treatment drugs get into the wrong fucking hands and are limited in who can get them, creating a black market stronger than any other with less regulation.
when its used like that it just keeps you hooked, and prevents the people who need it most from having it at an affordable price. its literally no better than heroin just with the dealers being the doctors. Thats why I say fixing it means make it prescribable by a GM without the course that takes insurance to fulfill demand completely with no room for a black market, and also revise the way its taught about.
it is injectible -- doing so saves you money even though it gets you no more high -- combined with lack of resources to buy it, or incentive to make profit selling it, this encourages IV use. the restricted flow of prescriptions to limited patients with years long waiting lists -- many corrupt and using it as a second paycheck without an addiction, some slightly corrupt and doing both -- very few doing neither.
its a bad situation.
Im literally the guy who first hand did it and witnessed it, so im kind of blowing the whistle on what happens in reality. feel free to say im bullshitting but the continued opiate crisis is evidence enough.
what im saying is its a semi-organized diversion of medications which is serious. worse than purdue honestly. even if you go to rehab before they give it to you they're like "oh you can just buy that on the street you can break that rule until we give it to you"
what is more corrupt than that and a flat denial of things that you warn them of as an insider?
Like ive told anyone else here -- ask a cop how many times they find needles filled with it even though its "not possible"
its kind of hilarious how corrupt it is, like one dealer kid who will remain nameless (had brain damage after being hit by car on tricycle as a baby, have some pity for him), ended up working for the most corrupt cop in town and even though everyone knew he was dealing his subs, nobody did shit to him.

You really are a brave contrarian.
Were you under state control because you were in the military?
