The Danger of "Bath Salts"
Bath Salts are Killing Our Youth or Driving Them Crazy!
Hopefully this has gotten your attention, because if you read the research on these "bath salts" and look at the consequences of those who have ignorantly taken this new designer drug, you will see that they everyone regrets that they believed the lies on the internet and from their "friends" saying that Bath Salts are a quick, inexpensive and legal form of meth or speed. DONT' BELIEVE IT!
Our help Line has received more calls in the early summer of 2011 from parents whose youth have taken these "Bath Salts" and are now confronting the terrible effects from this drug.
No one is telling us that they are addicted to Bath Salts or that it is something that they like doing. All the calls are about how paranoid they are feeling, how they are having panic attacks and thoughts of suicide. Not the euphoria that they were expecting to get from this poison that is being legally sold at convience stores across the nation.
We have advice on vitamins and minerals that can help with these mentally tormenting feelings and we have rehab programs that have been successful in restoring Bath Salt user sanity.
It is heartbreaking to hear these stories and from our 30+ years of experience in this field, we have never heard such universally horrible effects from any drug.
We hope that this web page will get in front of anyone that is contemplating taking Bath Salts so that they can get the truth about this poison before it is too late. We have our knowledge and we will also be glad to put you in contact with other parents that are seeing these effects first hand.
These bath salts contain mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone. Methylenedioxypyrovalerone is referred to as MDPV, which has a documented history of causing paranoia, rapid heart beats, hallucinations and sucidal thoughts. You would think that this data should be enough warning to get potential Bath Salts users to think twice about whether the internet propoganda that says that you will feel like you took the best cocaine is actully the truth or if these evil drug pushers are enjoying destroying others minds.
You will find Bath Salts being marketed as plant food or simply as bath salts. If you read further on the sites that are selling this as a drug, you will find them discrediting anyone that reports the truth about this poison.
The South has been reporting more ICU admissions than other parts of the U.S., but there are reports from New York to California with stories that will break you heart when you realize that an innocent consumer is being victimized by the sale of these drugs.
Louisiana has banned the sale of the psychoactive chemicals that are in bath salts. This action has caused a steep reduction of inquires to their Poison Control Center from people suffering from the effects of this drug.
48 states have reported at least one call to their Poison Control Center in connection with Bath Salts.
Bath Salts are selling in packets for about $20 under the names of "White Lightning". "Ivory Wave", and "Hurricane Charlie". There may be other names being used, so don't buy anything that reports effects that resemble these drugs.
The Washington Post reported in Jan., 2011 the following:
"From the Deep South to California, emergency calls are being reported over exposure to the stimulants the powders often contain: mephedrone and methylenedioxypyrovalerone, also known as MDPV."
NBC reported that the DEA busted a distrubtor of Bath Salts in New York in June, 2011, so the authorities are looking into ways that they can arrest anyone selling this drug, but without laws making Bath Salts illegal, there is little that can be done other than getting the message out to stay way from this insanity making drug!
You can look up this story and many other on the web. You will also find lies about how it will give you a high like meth and cocaine. Don't believe everything you read on the internet...This story is the truth because our only motivation is to save you from irreparable harm.
If you are suffering from the effects of this drug, please call us and we will tell you what you can do to get this drug out of your body and mind.
GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas—A Galveston man hopes to get a legal cocaine substitute banned after it reportedly led to his son's suicide.
Joey Baldwin, of Santa Fe, killed himself and blamed a synthetic substance called "bath salts" in his suicide note. He was found by his father after experimenting with the legal product, which is being compared to cocaine.
His father, James Baldwin, still fights back tears as he shares the pain of losing his son.
"If you're doing the stuff, stop it," said Baldwin. "If you haven't done it, don't. That's all I can say about that bath salts. It's bad. It killed my boy." Read the rest of this story at this link to the KHOU Story.
