An article just appeared in the LA Times talking about some quack research doctors at Yale who say that Ritalin (yes, that’s an amphetamine) addresses brain function and might help people with addiction.
Excuse me! Really?! What about the fact hat Ritalin is addictive? It is speed. Other reports have said that the brain recognizes Ritalin as being chemically similar to cocaine – should they go ahead and give addicts cocaine to treat addiction too? That’s essentially what they’re implying here.
Even more reasons why books like The New Face of Recovery need to be read by every household in the country – to arm themselves against destructive information like what the researchers are promoting. I bet if you looked deep enough, you would find that a drug company paid for the research and probably even wrote the paper and had these guys put their names on it – all in an attempt to keep sales going.
