I encourage narcotics at times. Sometimes, tranquillizers will do. One should never fear the use of helpful medicines. But one should be informed and cautious. I had such debilitating disk problems years ago that I often spent weeks barely able to move without agony. Finally, I discovered that properly prescribed narcotics could kill much of the pain, allow the spasms to quiet, and allow the body to rest and to heal. Of course, a good diet, daily exercise, and thoughtful supplements are the goal. But I would no more write off narcotics and such for the appropriate conditions, than I would write off penicillin for syphilis.

Ralph, my dear departed Mom once said, "Jim, try my Xanex. After all, I've taken them all my life and I have never been addicted to them." (big laugh) My experience with them is that they are bad for seniors because they are likely to cause them to fall and break bones. However, I would discourage any person with an addictive personality to stay away from them. If Bush is taking Halcion, he is one pill away from a drunk. James
