Drugs the life's destroyer

Drug addiction is one of the social issues or considered as one of the social problems that the world is facing nowadays. I really don't know what satisfaction a drug user can acquire by using these drugs. The only reason that I know is that other people used drugs because they're not capable of handling their problems. They used drugs to forget even for a while the problems that they've been facing in their lives. The point is that did they benefit by using these drugs? Maybe for a while they can benefit but they can’t resolve their problems by using drugs.

One of the arising issues nowadays is the requirement of drug testing prior to the admission to a university. Should drug testing be required?

Well, my answer is no. My reason for this is so simple, you can't eradicate drug users by means of just only drug testing .

Do only college students use drugs? No! right. People think that only adults like college student can use drugs. In fact, even a small kid can use them. Yes! nowadays even small kids are drug users.

What about them? If this drug testing is only implemented for college student. Are they also required to undergo drug testing just for them to be qualified to study in grade school/high school. It means that if they get a positive result in drug testing then they will not be allowed to study.


Let’s open our minds that nowadays nothing is impossible, age limit is no longer an issue. For as long as there are drug manufacturers and there are drug patronizers, drug will continue in every generation. Drugs is a life destroyer, authorities should seek alternative ways to eradicate these drugs.

Vivisection

Vivisection from the latin word vivi, living and section, cutting. Literally vivisection means cutting or incising living tissues. It could also relate to any surgical procedure, including human operation or to any procedure including the used of animals for experimental purposes for discovering new inventions to the health field like drugs which somehow against or violation to law—to the animal rights.

Though animals are not created in god’s own image and likeness like us they still have the dignity and rights that we need to respect. Injecting drugs, giving them chemicals, killing them or doing such thing that make them harm is a against the law and a way of disrespect on their part.

Many animal lives are being wasted in doing such experimentation which in a way the historical value of this animal research with regards to the benefit that it could give to the progress of human health remains in question. Such alternatives can be done in order to save the lives of these animals like proper access to health which in a way saving this animals from cruelty.

The Parathormone

Come don't hesitate to read my poem
I am really proud I created it on my own
Oh! yeah I did it while lying in our sofa's soft foam
Which i named, the parathormone

Do your bones easily fracture and deforms?
It can all account to low secretion of parathormone
A hormone that is secreted by the four tiny glands
Discoverer named it the parathyroid glands

This hormone is responsible for maintaining the blood calcium concentration
That is responsible for muscle and nerve contraction
If it exceeds in the concentration
Our body will get rid of it through urine excretion.

Hyperparathyroidism is the disease in high concentration,
While hypoparathyroidism if there's low concentration.
RIA is the name for its determination.
Using antigen-antibody in its detection

So don't wait for hospitalization
That might result to intravenous injection.
The only key to good health is prevention.
Not by any hospital accommodation.

So do care for your health
Because I'll tell you it is really a wealth
I hope somehow I made you happy
By reading my poem I'm telling you I'm really lucky.
