  • What is the most addictive drug? - This is a question that people often ask but is actually a very difficult one to answer. Addiction is not just one single and simple process, it is a complex process that has both physical and psychological aspects. Nevertheless despite this complexity two attempts have been made to determine the most addictive drug. Independently Dr. Jack E. Henningfield of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and Dr. Neal L.

  • Mesothelioma and its Treatment - Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always caused by previous exposure to asbestos. In this disease, malignant cells develop in the mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body's internal organs. Its most common site is the pleura, but it may also occur in the peritoneum or the pericardium. Mesothelioma is a disease that is almost 100% preventable; the only known cause is via exposure to the deadly mineral Asbestos. It comes from inhaling the particles of dust as the asbestos degrades; eating away at the lining of your lungs and developing into a deadly cancer.

Possibly the main reason why many of our programs have failed, why abuse is so widespread, is because society has been focusing on the symptoms and not the causes.
  • Costa Rica Crime Rate - Lowest in Latin America Again - Crime is a factor that stays directly proportional to a growing urban settlement. This alone explains why Costa Rica has a very low crime rate. Most of the crime that takes place is typically petty theft. Violent crime is almost unheard of. Costa Rica is considered to be a very safe place inhabited by warm and friendly people. Even worldwide terrorism hasn't posed a threat to Costa Rica. And though the crime rate has increased over the last 30 years, it is still positioned well below the level of other countries. The reason behind it is because of the growing urban settlement. But the smaller towns in Costa Rica have a crime rate that's even lower than the meager occurrences in the comparatively larger cities.
