This document discusses the dangers of teen steroid use through several sources and personal anecdotes. It notes that some teens use steroids to gain a competitive advantage in sports, but they often do not understand the health risks. One teen describes how he got an infected shoulder from improperly reusing a needle to inject steroids. Studies show steroid use among teens has been increasing. However, less than 4% of high schools test students for steroids. The document is part of a school project on organizing a youth wrestling clinic and creating a documentary on steroid use risks.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TEEN STEROID USE because

“…..Synthetically produced….”(Steroid Abuse in Today’s Society)

“….claim steroids give them a competitive advantage and/or improve their physical performance…..”(Steroid Abuse in Today’s Society)

“Young people do not comprehend the consequences of steroid use on their health” -Marcelo Llorante

“I figured they were no big deal…”(Needle Nightmare)

Needle Nightmare “At my gym, steroids were easy to get. I figured that they were no big deal, so I tried a cycle during my sophomore year wrestling season in high school. I bought a bottle of testosterone and a syringe. I only wanted to have one syringe in my house because a bottle and a syringe is pretty easy to hide, but ten syringes would be pretty difficult, because I still live with my parents. Everyone told me that I needed to use a different needle every time I injected but I thought I could just heat the needle up over a flame and it would be sterile. After a few weeks of shooting into my shoulder it started to get swollen and looked weird. Then one day at wrestling practice, the place on my shoulder where I usually inject started to hurt and feel hot. My coach looked at it, and he thought it was badly infected, so we went to the hospital. When I was there, I had to tell the doctor how I got the infection, and my coach found out that I was using steroids, and he told my parents. I got suspended from school for a week and the wrestling team for the rest of the season and all the kids in my school found out too”. -Anonymous

“….study of 50,000 students found that 3.5 percent used steroids at least once, an increase of 2.1 percent in 1991…” (Schwarb 6)

“…Less than 4 percent of the nation’s high schools test students for steroids…...” (Associated Press)

This document discusses the dangers of teen steroid use through multiple perspectives. It notes that steroids are synthetically produced drugs that some teens use to gain a competitive advantage or improve performance, but that young people often don't understand the health risks. One source is quoted saying there are no going back once steroids are used. Studies found the percentage of teens using steroids has increased in recent years. However, few high schools test for steroids. The rest of the document describes a youth wrestling clinic and acknowledges those who helped organize and participate in the event.

Connor's Argument

The document discusses the pressure young athletes face to use steroids to gain size and strength and become better athletes. It shares the author's personal experience with considering steroids after an injury in high school and being offered steroids by a friend, but ultimately deciding not to use them. The negative health effects of steroids are also discussed, using examples like acne and the story of NFL player Lyle Alzado, who died of brain cancer he blamed on prolonged steroid use.

The letter describes the author's negative experiences with medical treatment that have left her disabled. She details being mistreated during childbirth and receiving epidural steroid injections for back pain that caused permanent damage, leaving her unable to care for herself. The author believes the injections were performed for profit without proper patient consent. She now suffers constant pain and loss of mobility due to adhesive arachnoiditis caused by the medical procedures. The letter calls for reform to prevent other patients from experiencing similar harm.

1) Synthetic drugs like bath salts and synthetic marijuana can have dangerous health effects such as increased heart rate and body temperature, potentially causing brain damage. 2) The chemical makeup of these drugs can be constantly changing, making them difficult for officials to regulate and ban. Users may try different synthetic drugs as others become illegal. 3) Users report experiences of paranoia, hallucinations, and feeling out of control on these drugs, with some believing they are being threatened by demons or snakes. The effects can last hours after the high wears off.

Jo Jo's Argument

Mike told the author about his friend who started using anabolic steroids and experienced dangerous mood swings and aggression as a result. His friend threw weights across the gym during a fit of rage nearly injuring Mike. Mike no longer feels safe around his friend who is no longer the same person. While steroids can have psychological effects like increased aggression, following proper dosage guidelines and avoiding "stacking" multiple drugs may help reduce these risks, but friends and family should still be cautious of abnormal behavior in users. The author recommends seeking help for users experiencing extreme psychological issues before serious harm occurs.

It explains that autosuggestion works by sending repetitive positive messages to the brain, which can change neural pathways and create new realities.

The document outlines plans for a documentary about Duchenne muscular dystrophy. It will follow a day in the life of someone with the condition and include interviews with a doctor and potential experts from the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The documentary aims to raise awareness of this rare genetic disorder and the potential for stem cell and gene therapy treatments. It will use observational filming, interviews, voiceovers from the patient and doctor, and medical illustrations or photos to explain the impact and causes of the condition.

The Integrative Medicine Treatment of Schizophrenia

Louis Cady, MD

This is the third of three lectures that Dr. Cady did in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for Laboratorio Great Plains. Dr. Cady dispenses with the "Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia" quickly, and notes that the most powerful drug for schizophrenia, clozapine, is actually only a weak blocker at that receptor. Using the concepts of Dale Bredesen, MD, Dr. Cady advances the idea that there is no "one magic bullet" approach to the treatment of schizophrenia, but that, rather, multiple possibile causes of schizophrenia exist, multiple nutritional laboratory values exist, multiple other physiological perturbations exist (including gluten sensitivyt), and that the thoughtful practitioner's approach should be to attempt to identify, integrate, and address all possible causes and exacerbating influences on the causes, and treatments of schizophrenia. Obviously, this is not a comprehensive treatment on the subject - which would take days - but does scratch the surface at other ways to look at schizophrenia and approach its treatment.

Rare World: Towards Technology for Rare Diseases

Haley MacLeod

This document discusses opportunities for technology to help address challenges faced by those with rare diseases. It profiles people in rare disease communities who take on roles like patients, advocates, record keepers and more. Their experiences include struggling to communicate their unfamiliar conditions, facing denial from caregivers, and dealing with uninformed doctors. While rare and common chronic diseases differ in prevalence and awareness, they share experiences like coping with the disease and its impacts. The document suggests technologies could help expand care networks, embrace patients' whole lived experiences, leverage existing platforms, and improve patient-provider relationships. It calls for designs that allow slow information dissemination and supporting caregivers.
