                               METHADONE, OxyContin, and other Prescription Narcotics
                                               are killing thousands of people yearly.

           This site is devoted to the safety, welfare and rights for people who have been
           and will be a victim to medical carelessness. This includes the over prescribing
               of narcotics that are flooding our streets leading to addiction and deaths.


                                                Together we can build a safer place.

                           "METHADONE" THE PILL THAT KILLS





                                 THIS IS THE DRUG THAT IS KILLING SO MANY
                                                           OF OUR LOVED ONES

MYTH:The majority of people who die from Methadone took more then they were prescribed to aid in their pain relief.
MYTH: This drug is safe if given and monitored by a doctor.
MYTH: The only people who die abused it.
MYTH: Methadone is only fatal when mixed with other substances.
FACT: People have died from one single small dose and nothing else in their
system. They have died from one or more days of dosing leading to toxic levels.
They are dying from a combination of drugs that are lethal cocktails both given by Doctors as well as by diversion (on the streets). Deaths have occurred after long term therapy from a victim who was tolerant of their dosage.
FACT: No one is completely safe from becoming METHADONES next victim.
FACT: Medical Professionals do not warn patients prior to dosing that thousands are dying from this drug and allowing them to make a knowledgable choice in their own care. People have the right to know.
FACT: Methadone is highly addictive, Schedule II narcotic and has been described to be harder then heroin to withdraw from.

OxyContin, Percocets, Xanax and other narcotics continue to cause addiction, abuse and death in this country. Yet, they are still marketed and distributed in massive amounts providing a mainstream for addiction and sales on the streets. This Must Stop !!!!

                                   Featuring My Son's Story of How Methadone Killed Him
                             Posted on Internet August 16th and Printed Article on Sunday Aug. 17th, 2008

MAMA is devoted in helping to make the changes we need in our health care system and government to provide safer medical care and practices.

Too many lives are lost every year due to careless medical practice. Patients should have the right to know if a drug or treatment could cause death and then allow them to make the decision to accept such care.

Currently our focus is on deaths caused by METHADONE. Thousands of people are dying every year to this drug. It is now the drug of choice for doctors to prescribe for chronic pain along with multiple other uses. One dose of METHADONE can be lethal to an individual. Doctors are currently sending patients home with large amounts of this drug which creates a higher risk for street sales and accidental ingestion by another person. Since our medical health care system will not inform patients prior to dosing that it can be toxic and death may occur, then WE WILL !!! Death due to Methadone toxicity is preventable.

No person should receive different treatment based on their race, social status, sex or ability to pay, yet this happens on a daily basis.

Every patient should be able to access their medical records free of charge. This will enable people to be more involved and aware of their medical care and treatment.

We hope to educate and bring attention to issues that may affect us as we or a loved one seeks medical care and treatment.
