Best answer:

Answer by andie l
First of all, addiction treatment programs are not just about medication. It’s not all about anti-depressants and mood stabilizers. There must be continued care and supervision. There must also be counseling and therapy. There must be a periodical assessment to keep track of the progress of the patient. The intensity and length of the treatment of the patient depends upon the severity of his drug addiction.

Are Vaccines Tested in Double Blind Placebo Controlled Studies?

Question by T B: Are vaccines tested in double blind placebo controlled studies?
I mean truly unbiased studies? Do you have any links to give proof so it’s not just someone’s word or statement about it? I want something completely unbiased to help settle a debate
Aluminum is SAFE??? It’s a well known neurotoxin! Who in the world would think it’s safe to inject a neurotoxin into your system?
