Scientologists spread drug education and prevention throughout the country based on the Truth About Drugs, described in new publication released November 13 by Church of Scientology and Scientologists Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 03, 2012 Maracaibo Scientologists volunteering at the Mano de Dios nursing home found residents alarmed about the future of their grandchildren in a world threatened by drugs. So the volunteers added drug education to the entertainment and recreational activities they were doing with the seniors to help them assist their families live drug-free.

Zambia's High Court on Monday heard that HIV-positive prisoners were being denied access to life-prolonging drugs and a balanced diet, on the opening day of a landmark human rights case. Awaiting-trial prisoner George Mwanza has accused the authorities of violating his human rights and those of other HIV-positive inmates by failing to provide them with adequate care. "I have been prevented from accessing the anti-retroviral drugs and therapy from the clinic," Mwanza -- who is awaiting trial for statutory rape -- told a courtroom packed with HIV/AIDS activists clad in white T-shirts. Priti Patel of the non-governmental Southern Africa Litigation Centre said the case was "the first of its kind" and could have massive repercussions given the high levels of HIV in Zambia's jails. More than one in 10 Zambians is HIV-positive. Mwanza and his co-plaintiff claim that because of prison staff shortages the government is unable to provide enough wardens to escort them to the clinics and that HIV-positive prisoners received a standard diet of bean and nshima, a thick corn meal porridge that is a staple in Zambia. HIV sufferers are advised to eat a varied diet of eggs, vegetables, meat, fruits and vegetables. "The last time I … Continue reading →

Activists across the country have voiced their disagreement after animal testing was mooted as a possibility to ensure the safety of legal recreational drugs. A report in the Sunday Star-Times raised the issue of LD50 testing a process where a group of dogs or rats are subjected to increasingly potent doses of a drug until half the group dies. Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne has ruled out the practice in New Zealand calling it barbaric on RadioLIVE but the wider issue of animal testing of recreational drugs still looms large. The Government has made it clear it wishes to see a process set up whereby manufacturers must prove a product is safe before it can be sold, rather than the current process which sees the Government on the back foot and forced to react after it has already hit the market. Retired politician Pete Hodgson says it is highly unlikely the industry will be allowed to test its products on animals here. This is a really interesting public policy issue the debate really matters but actually probably f**k all is going to happen, says Mr Hodgson, a former Labour Party MP who spent two years as the Minister of Health … Continue reading →
