How could you write a book on steroids and not interview Harrison Pope, M.D. from Harvard, the leading expert on anabolic steroids? Jendrick dismisses the medical consequences of steroid use, blaming the media for sensationalizing and spreading misinformation about steroids.

Analysis of an Argument: “Embraced By the Needle” In “Embraced by the Needle” Gabor Mate uses a scientific approach to help persuade the reader to agree with his argument, which is that addiction is not bred from the drug itself, but from the feeling of abandonment or neglect. Mate also uses personal anecdotes from people he has met that have issues with drug abuse. The mixture of the scientific statistics, and personal anecdotes validate his argument, and make the reader agree with what he is saying. In “Embraced by the Needle” Mate discusses the ways in which addiction is bred and how it can eventually take over someones life. Gabor states “No drugs, in itself, are addictive.” This means that it is not the drug that causes the addiction, it is why the people are doing the drugs in the first place, and the way it makes them feel.

Why must we withhold a drug that can be so very useful for the treatment of extreme mental conditions and possibly cure thousands of Americans of their
Advertisements stated one could “get healthy without ever setting foot in a gym”. Celebrity endorsements helped promote the shoe, and messages went as far as to say you could lose weight and made claims about improved cardiovascular health with the use of their shoes. Claims like the one Skechers made were found to be misleading to the public after an investigation by the FTC. While Skechers USA claimed they had an independent medical study performed, it was discovered that the doctor that performed the study was a chiropractor married to one of the marketing executives at Skechers. In addition, the study he conducted was an independent clinical study and he could not provide the medical documentation necessary to back up any of the medical claims Skechers used in their marketing and promotions.
Now retired "Clemson University organic chemist John H. Huffman, a leading scientist in synthetic cannibinoid development, made more than 450 cannibinoid compounds to help advance the treatment of serious ailments like multiple sclerosis, AIDS, and cancer" (Griep, 2013). In an interview with ABC News, Huffman explains that his research apparently fell into the wrong hands, but "doubts that a ban on the substances will keep kids away from it". Organic marijuana has been illegal since 1937, he points out, yet many have completely disregarded those laws. Therefore, prohibition of spice could have a similar outcome. Huffman contrasts the two substances, describing the effects of synthetic cannabinoids as " anecdotal, and comes from things like visits to emergency rooms."

Even though I was lacking the interview process I was still very curious on this issue and researched more about it seeing what other professionals said about the benefits and negatives of using this system. I was astonished by my results in finding that the EMR system actually benefits our healthcare community if it is kept up to date and physicians
