TEENAGE lotto winner Callie Rogers today confesses how instant riches plunged her into a crazy drug hell - as she blew an astonishing £250,000 on COCAINE.
With only £20,000 left from her £1.9 million jackpot she reveals she is battling to overcome the nightmare dark depression that has plagued her since her win aged just 16.
“I was spending a fortune on cocaine, a nasty evil drug which tears your life apart. I’ll be honest, about £¼ million of my win has been wasted on it. Most of it wasn’t for me, it was for my ex Nicky Lawson who was addicted to it.
“I started taking coke within weeks of winning the Lottery and pretty soon I was hooked. It made me forget about all the problems in my life and at the start made me feel like everything was OK.
“But that didn’t last long and soon drugs made me fall into a deep, dark place. Somewhere which made me feel I didn’t want to live any more.
“I honestly just felt so low I thought in death I’d find a safer happier place.”
How Much Does Sex Education Cost?
Link of the day - The Man Who Tells the Truth about Protein
The stimulus package is living up to its provocative name by funding a bacchanalia of behavioral sex research, a Post analysis reveals. The next fiscal year is set to be one of the friskiest ever in the nation’s science labs, as researchers probe the ins and outs of sex patterns among humans and even some of our four-legged friends. Among the most titillating grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health are studies that would:
Examine “barriers to correct condom use” at Indiana University, at a cost of $221,000.
Study “hookups” among adolescents at Syracuse University. Study’s cost: $219,000.
Evaluate “drug use as a sex enhancer” in an analysis of “high-risk community sex networks” at the University of Illinois, Chicago. That study will cost $123,000.

Tamiflu Should Not Be Given To Children

Children should not be given the anti-viral drug Tamiflu for swine flu because its harms outweigh any benefits, Oxford researchers have said. They called on the Department of Health to have an urgent rethink of its current policy in the swine flu pandemic. Their study found that Tamiflu caused vomiting in some children, which can lead to dehydration and complications.
[...]
Dr Carl Henegan, a GP and expert from the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, said the current policy of giving Tamiflu for mild illness was an “inappropriate strategy”. He added: “The downside of the harms outweigh the one-day reduction in symptomatic benefits.”
The study comes little over a week after other research found that children given Tamiflu preventatively reported side-effects including nausea and nightmares.
Researchers analysed four studies involving children aged one to 12 taking Tamiflu or another anti-viral, Relenza.
The children were being treated for normal seasonal flu but the experts behind the research said their findings would extend to the current swine flu pandemic.
