Part Two of Suboxone, a New ParadigmThis is part two in a series about suboxone, a new treatment for opiate addiction. In this section we describe the many benefits of the medication over traditional treatment methods, and suggest a new model of treatment: the remission model. Suboxone, a New Treatment Paradigm: Part OneTraditional treatment of opiate addiction helps only a small number of addicts, and only after severe negative consequences. Even after successful treatment, opiate addiction is characterized by multiple relapses. Suboxone treatment is a dramatic improvement over traditional methods, and allows a new treatment paradigm: Successful treatment by inducing reliable remission of active addiction, using Suboxone. A New Tool to Help you Recover From Pain Pill Addiction: are you Addicted?Millions of people become addicted to pain pills through no fault of their own. In their rush to see more patients, doctors take the easy path of prescribing pain medicine, often inappropriately, and then blame the patient when inevitable tolerance and dependence develop. Now there is a breakthrough treatment to help those addicted to pain pills. Stepping Lightly Over Boxes of Medical ExperienceIs all learning beneficial? Can the mind make positive use of most of our life experiences? A corollary to ‘once learned, some things cannot be unlearned’ is that regarding personality, ‘we are what we eat’.

The US Tax Code--an Open Letter to Madam Chairperson PelosiThe United States tax code tries to accomplish two things at once: raising revenue, and redistributing wealth. I suggest that we simplify things by replacing it with two systems, each designed to do only one thing. One agency could raise revenue, and the other could make everything fair. I wrote this letter to offer the suggestion to the current House Speaker. Rvus- Whose Value is It, Anyway?Payments for medical illnesses by insurers vary dramatically between mental health and other conditions. The differences in reimbursement are most dramatic when one compares mental health care to procedural specialties. The difference in pay schedules cannot be accounted for by differences in stress, time, risk, or years of training required by the specialty. Rather, the payment discrepancies are due to the low value placed on mental health services by society.
