We are spending millions on the war against drugs while we should be fighting the war against pain with those drugs!

As you will read in this book, the war on drugs was lost a long time ago and, when it comes to the war against pain, pain is winning! Just as we were going to press with this book, an article in USA Today (11/20/02) reveals that dying patients are not getting relief from pain. It seems the doctors are torn between fear of the government, certainly justified, and a clinging to old and out dated ideas about pain, which is NOT justified.

A group called Last Acts, a coalition of health-care groups, has released a very discouraging study of all 50 states that nearly half of the 1.6 million Americans living in nursing homes suffer from untreated pain. They said that life was being extended but it amounted to little more than “extended pain and suffering.”

This book took three years to research and write. It offers insight into the history of pain treatment and the current failed philosophies of contemporary medicine. Plus it describes some of today's most advanced treatments for alleviating certain kinds of pain.

The politicization of pain, ushered in by the War on Drugs, speaks volumes about our failed medical establishment and a government that seems not to care if people suffer. In both instances, we’d like to believe the physicians and the government have our best interests at heart. It is disheartening to learn that neither do when it comes to treating patients who seek only relief from inexorable pain.

This book is not another "self-help" book touting home remedies; rather, A Painful Dilemma: Patients in Pain -- People in Prison takes a hard look at where we've gone wrong and what we (you) can do to help a loved one who is living with chronic pain.

The book has 2 parts, the first one (Patients in Pain) will be a revelation for many, the second part (People in Prison) is even more enlightening as I build the case that the war on drugs is not only futile but it serves the political interest of many at the expenses of our children. It's a war that has been lost many times over and, as I will show you, can only be won through the legalization of drugs. Americans have a “FEAR OF FREEDOM” brought on by the idea that abuse of drugs by the few is reason enough to use draconian methods – the “WAR ON DRUGS” – to severely restrict their free use by sensible, law-abiding citizens seeking relief from pain. The end result of the “war on drugs” has been to create the greatest and most destructive cartel in history, so great, in fact, that the drug Mafia now controls the world economy.

The second half of this book is a must read if you value your freedom. We now have the ridiculous and tragic situation of people in pain living in a government-created hell by restriction of narcotics and people in prison for trying to bring pain relief by the selling of narcotics to the suffering. While it is true that the people selling the drugs don’t give a damn about the suffering – they just want a profit – it is beside the point. The government has created this criminal element just as they created the crime cartel of the American experiment of alcohol prohibition. Drugs must be made free of control or there will be no freedom at all.

Sincerely,

Dr. William Campbell Douglass

The benefits of smoking tobacco have been common knowledge for centuries. From sharpening mental acuity to maintaining optimal weight, the relatively small risks of smoking have always been outweighed by the substantial improvement to mental and physical health, Hysterical attacks on tobacco notwithstanding, smokers always weigh the good against the bad and puff away or quit according to their personal preferences. Now the same anti-tobacco enterprise that has spent billions demonizing the pleasure of smoking is providing additional reasons to smoke. Alzheimer's, Parkinson 's, Tourette's Syndrome, even schizophrenia and cocaine addiction are disorders that are alleviated by tobacco. Add in the still inconclusive indication that tobacco helps to prevent colon and prostate cancer and the endorsement for smoking tobacco by the medical establishment is good news for smokers and non-smokers alike.

Of course the revelation that tobacco is good for you is ruined by the pharmaceutical industry's plan to substitute the natural and relatively inexpensive tobacco plant with their overpriced and ineffective nicotine substitutions. Still, when all is said and done, the positive revelations regarding tobacco are very good reasons indeed to keep lighting those cigars - but only 4 a day... - William Campbell Douglass II, MD.

Dr. Douglass will shock you with the amount of evidence that smoking can also be good for you. Political correctness and bias have kept this information away from the public. For the first you can find out the other side of the story. This book is a true "smoking gun"!
