Early in life at the age of 15 I found myself bored one night and decided to just make random crank calls.
Typical stuff like you might here from the jerkey boys. But after being bored and running out of material, I decided to see how long I could keep a Girl on the phone without here hanging up on me.
I have never been successful at meeting women in real time face to face but soon discovered I could entertain strange women over the telephone. So after about 10 hangups from Women I finally baited a woman long enough to talk to. "Hello is Anne there" i asked. "There is not Anne here at this residence" she said. "Oh, I met this lady last night at the On Broadway (Nightclub) and this is the number she gave me". She told me she wasnt there and had never been to the nightclub but was somewhat amused at the fact someone did this to me. I tried to give her the impression I was sad over the phone and asked if She had any friends that would do such a thing. She was hooked more and told me she had a few that might do something like this. It turned out she was a married navy wife who was from the filipines. She was bored and was in the middle of seperation from her husband.
I realized she became more and more confortable talking to me. I didnt want to ruin the chance of meeting this woman so I told her I was late for work and that i really enjoyed talking to her and if it was ok to call her back. She agreed.

Miss Heroin
So now little man, you've grown tired of grass,
LSD, Goofballs, Cocaine, and Hash.
And someone, pretending to be a true friend,
"I'll introduce you to Miss Heroin" I said.
Well honey, before you start fooling with me,
Just let me inform you of how it will be.
For I will seduce you and make you my slave.
I've sent men much stronger than you to their graves.
Accutane Settlements in the Millions
Yesterday’s revelation that actor James Marshall (A Few Good Men, Gladiator) had filed a lawsuit against Roche Pharmaceuticals because of side effects he claims he suffered as a result of using Accutane has taken a turn, as his case has been delayed. The reason for the pause is because of a New Jersey appeals court decision to overturn a verdict for a $10.5 million settlement from 2008.
Plaintiff Kamie Kendall was awarded the settlement two years ago, after her lawyers successfully argued that Roche had failed to substantially provide information regarding the side effects associated with the once-popular severe nodular acne medication. Kendall developed inflammatory bowel disease, she claimed, from using Accutane. IBD is a serious side effect that has been associated with the drug; however, the appeals court determined that Roche had been wrongfully blocked from providing evidence crucial to the pharmaceutical giant’s defense.
Marshall is similarly seeking $11 million for his own dealings with IBD. The actor had most of his colon removed because of the terrible gastrointestinal disorder, of which he blames Accutane and Roche. But the overturn of the decision for Kendall means that other cases may be reviewed for similar oversight, and future cases may be examined with newer scrutiny. More than 5,000 cases have accumulated against Roche, stemming from patients who have cited side effects including IBD, as well as Chron’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis, liver and kidney diseases, and a number of psychological disorders.
Despite the overturned verdict in Kendall’s case, juries and judges have still awarded more than $45 million in settlements to victims of Accutane for the debilitating side effects they have suffered.

Sotret Case in New Jersey
Although there are many lawsuits against the makers of Accutane, there are fewer lawsuits against the generic brands of isotretinoin. Although the active chemical is exactly the same, some firms only accept Accutane cases. I took Sotret 40mg from Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals and am in the process of filing a lawsuit against them for causing this debilitating chronic disease on me.
There have been so many other people in my exact situation, where they took Accutane in their teen years only to develop ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease a couple of years later.
There is only one way to spell isotretinoin, and I'm taking them to court about it.

What is a drug?
People who take drugs, take them to feel good, or better about themselves. There are many things that people do to achieve the same effect. I know, that when i am on a little break from smoking trees, and i have a shitty day, i lift weights to feel good. On a day where i am scheduled to lift, i think about it a lot. At an Alcoholic's Anonymous meeting, that is described as a serious mental addiction, or a phenomena of craving. They say that alcoholics get drunk off the first drink, cause once u pop the fun CAN'T stop. Once i get lifting, nothing will pry me from that bench in that ratty corner of my basement. If that isn't a drug, i don't know what is.
I guess the argument could be made, that with exercising, you are not ingesting anything. OK, but i have a friend who eats his feelings. For those of you who do not know what i mean; when he has a shitty day, he goes home and just eats and eats and eats. Not only is he doing or ingesting something to feel good, but he is causing bodily harm, could food be considered a controlled substance?
Asprin and advil and other various household or prescription drugs are used to ease pain and do away with a sickness. Marijuana and friends are used to ease the pain of life, and are used to do away with sadness.

Pharmaceutical Incentives
The pharmaceutical business is one of the most profitable markets in America. With their heavy bars to entrance, they essentially have a monopoly on the drug market.
The fact that there is more money in keeping a diseases controlled than in curing the disease completely. These pharmaceuticals essentially gain a life-time customer, with no choice but to fork over the money to buy next months pills.
Out of all the advancements in technologies over the past decade, our incurable diseases are still incurable and permanent.
Yesterday, I decided to not take my medication for a couple of days, just to see if my body was strong enough to live on its own, but the pains have already began.
I wish that there was more money in curing a disease than maintaining it for the rest of your life.

Accutane Linked With Ulcerative Colitis
Accutane has a history of bad side effects, but one of the most severe is the chronic inflammatory condition known as ulcerative colitis. The drug was originally synthesized as a cancer fighting drug, only to show amazing results at reducing nodular acne. The exact metabolic pathways that this drug alters is unknown, but this drug has some of the most severe side effects, ranging from chronic inflammatory bowel disease, depression to suicide.
There have been over 5000 personal injury cases to this date against the makers of Accutane, and I am one of them.
April 2008, a New Jersey woman received $10.5 million from a case against Roche, citing that the company failed to warn of the risk of dangerous and chronic conditions. After starting Accutane treatment, the woman developed ulcerative colitis at age 14 and later had to have her colon removed. She now faces chronic and debilitating diarrhea.
February 2010, a computer technician from Birmingham, Alabama, received $25.16 million in settlement damages from Roche. The 38-year-old man began taking Accutane for his acne in 1995 and soon developed inflammatory bowel disease, requiring five surgeries and a removal of his colon. The jury found that Roche failed to warn users of the risk of bowel disease associated with the medication.

The Window
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed next to the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should hehave all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented, the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy eroded into resentment and soon turned him sour. He began to brood and found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window - and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough. He was choking on the fluid in his lungs. The other man watched in the dimly lit room as the struggling man by the window groped for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence--deathly silence.

Natural Remedies for Ulcerative Colitis: Boswellia
The resin from this tree have anti-inflammatory properties
Boswellia is a herb that comes from a tree native to India. The active ingredient is the resin from the tree bark, which has been found to block chemical reactions involved in inflammation. It is used by people with ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions. Unlike anti-inflammatory medication, boswellia doesn't seem to cause gut irritation that can occur with many conventional pain relievers.A 1997 study of people with ulcerative colitis found that 82 percent of those who took a boswellia extract 350 milligrams three times daily experienced remission. Rare side effects of bowellia include diarrhea, nausea, and skin rash.

Whipworm Can Possibly Treat Crohns Disease?
There are many alternative treatments for Crohn's disease; aloe vera isn't the only remedy out there. In fact, one of the latest studies showing promise for Crohn's disease sufferers is an alternative treatment known as helminthic therapy.
Helminthic therapy is an alternative treatment that uses Trichiuruis suis (pig whipworm) to combat symptoms of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. During therapy, a patient is given eggs of the pig whipworm. The eggs hatch within the body, grow and colonize for a limited time and then disappear, so no harm is done.
It may sound bizarre and disgusting to treat Crohn's by causing an infestation of pig whipworm in the intestines, after all, shouldn't we in Western civilization be celebrating that we've eradicated these pests from our systems with our sanitized culture? We're the first people in history to be worm free, so where's the logic behind this therapy? As ridiculous as it seems, when you learn all the facts behind helminthic therapy, you'll find that it's not as crazy as it sounds.

I realized something...
...when I decided to post about my chronic affliction online I realized that I am not alone in my fight. There are many others out there just like myself fighting with all levels of severity of ulcerative colitis.
They probably don't tell anyone because its such a terrible condition to have. To those who have ulcerative colitis, stay strong and fight it for your life.
The human being is a very resilient creature and has overcome all obstacles to this date.

$25 Million After Having Colon Removed
A New Jersey jury has hit the pharmaceutical company that makes Accutane with a $25.16 million judgment in a lawsuit filed by an Alabama man who blamed the drug for his inflammatory bowel disorder.
Thirty-eight-year-old Andrew McCarrell of Moody, Ala., took the acne drug in his 20s. He says Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. failed to adequately warn of its side effects. McCarrell eventually had his colon removed.

Divorce Your Ego
REJECTING YOURSELF, AND OTHER FINE MEANS OF DISCONNECTING YOUR EGO FROM REALITY
What drives us to become (or not become) who we are as individuals?
Why do our egos exist and does it truly lie behind the "mind's eye", serving as both a conscience, a memory bank, an experience vault and our innate definition of free will?
As human beings, our desire to find the purpose of our existence has been shrouded by the cowardice most of us possess when faced with a reckoning of who or what is really behind the wheel, controlling our actions.
It's truths could be remarkable, enlightening and frightening, all at the same time. A handful of some of the most respected Thinkers of this genre all had much to offer by way of introducing this relatively new (yet tested and proven repeatedly) method of higher understanding.

Lawsuit with Girardi Keese against Sotret
I just got a phone call from a representative from Girardi Keese and the lawsuit against Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals is under way. Honestly though, I would rather have my original health over any monetary compensation. Being afflicted with a chronic disease at this age can only mean worse in the later years of my life.
When I first found out I had ulcerative colitis I was angry at everyone, the doctor, my family, myself. How could my body be so weak? This condition is disabling in the sense that your frequently have to use the bathroom during flares, and complications can lead to the entire removal of the large intestine, called an ileostmy.
I pray that I will never need to do such a thing.
