Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Thanks I will look it up...Ive tried searching other sites with no luck so far so maybe this will help.. Sorry If I sounded angry, but Im confused at the moment over this question of alcoholism....and I quite honestly dont believe I have a 'disease' when I am quite capable of controlling it......something AA told me I could NEVER do! watch this space Regards Re: gentix > I thought I gave you a bried reply and a link to a very good source: > > www.peele.net > > > > > > still no one has anwsered my question > > > > and Im fed up reading about stuff that has little or nothing to do > with me. > > > > > > maybe i was wrong to join this group..........and joan too !!!!! > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hi folks Today a very interesting e-mail containing a tidbit about this subject came to me. Here's part of it: ****************************************************************** " my mom works at a major university med school that does a tremendous amount of study-based research (apparently far more than any other med school setting, since they receive huge amounts of government and private funding.) When I talk to her about what's going on at work the " studies " are usually the topic of conversation, since she oversees the organization of the studies and the grant money available. Last night we were discussing it and I asked her if I could share some of the stuff she told me with people in the " anti-disease concept " school of thought. She said it would be okay if it was totally anonymous and the school wasn't mentioned, nor the specific studies (i.e. anything that would directly link the info. to the school/research center she works for.) so here goes, I'm quoting her as best I can: " The doctors can't stand the studies on alcoholism, and it's become a joke (at the office)...they (the studies) are referred to as " the drunken rats " (since some involve rats or other animals). They're all sick of so much attention on alcoholism and the common belief we have is that the disease-nonsense is being taken too far...of course the reports of the completed studies never actually say " alcoholism is a disease " since the supervising (physicians in charge of the research) don't want to be credited with that kind of revelation...the family studies (the ones that try to show that alcoholism is inherited) usually target lower class families since the docs know that those environments are more likely to have entire alcoholic families...that's why the ads to the public are run in the urban papers and offer small sums of money for participation. Of course they don't have much choice but to conclude that the study participants also have alcoholic relatives, otherwise the study might be questioned. I've heard discussion among the docs...some of them have come to me stating it also...to the effect that they hope that the government and the major donors will stop all the pressure for more research on addiction so the funding can be used for more crucial stuff like cancer research. " " The stuff in paretheses is stuff I added for clarification. I checked with her this morning and she quickly looked it over and said it was accurate and again just asked that it be totally anonymous. " ****************************************************************** Any thoughts? Best, http://www.aahorror.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
