They distort a person's concept of the world and those around him (or her). They can wreck havoc with various organs and functions of the body. They can cause people to act In socially unacceptable ways, and, not least, they are expensive, When we speak of drugs we usually think of young people, using marijuana, hashish, cocaine, or other so-called "street cirugs". But you might be surprised to know how many Canadians are addicted to over-the-counter and prescription drugs, ones we don't even consider when we think of "the drug problem". Young people have often used the line, "Well, you use alcohol and nicotine," when defending the use of drugs. These and caffeine are probably the drugs that most of us have used, or do use frequently, If not regularly. But what about other "household" drugs? Check the labels of cold products. One of the most common Ingredients in cold preparations Is alcohol. Codeine Is a highly addictive drug which Is found In many prescription medications. Even over-the-counter laxatives, sleeping pills, pain killers and decongestant sprays can be dangerous if your body becomes dependent on them. If you use such products on a continuing basis, and sense physical withdrawal symptoms when you don't use them, you may be allowing an addiction to take hold. A1980 drug abuse report in the United States showed that out of 20 "most abused" drugs, 15 were prescription drugs. These Included Valium as number one. Stress and emotional trauma are often the reasons given by psychiatrists or doctors for prescribing tranquilizers. Many people prefer to fortify themselves through better nutrition and exercise, and to seek natural calming agents before resorting to drug therapy. As each person's nutritional requirements are different, so will their reaction to drugs vary. By all means, trust your doctor, but do your own research as well, and be sure that you know the properties of any drug prescribed for you. There may be a natural alternative, * courtesy of the Canadian Health Food Association and this newspaper.
