Real Child Proof Medication

When your at someone's home do you look in their medicine cabinet? It seems 39% of people do. Well this is what you will find in my medicine cabinet.

Something different here than what you have found in other medicine cabinet? Well that is the Med Safe that is in there. It arrived at my home this last week. And I was so thrilled to see this special lil cabinet. You can place it in your bathroom medicine cabinet or in a drawer. But the great thing about this lil safe that you can lock up your meds. Keeping them out of the hands of lil ones.

This is how the box looked when it arrived. Do you know that I was thrilled to get to review the Med Safe. You see not too long ago I had a phone call from my niece. It seems her lil lady (2 yr old) had found the vitamin C and opened the bottle. She was not sure if she ate any or not and was unsure as to what to do. Of course we called poison control to ask for their help. And her lil lady was fine. (Thank God!) But I worry as there are many medications in my home. It seems that child proof caps are not that child proof at all. It also reported that about one out of every 180 two-year-olds visits an emergency department for a medication overdose each year.
With the Med Safe I can place all our our medication inside and then close it up. There is not a key to lose either. Instead a numeric code is programed in to open up the safe. The state-of-the-art lock-box features 19,500 changeable combinations. You can pick the code that you wish to use also. This safe was big enough to place all of my Dear Hubby, my Mom and my own medications in. Hey, were aging so the meds pile up!

Now I am not worried of lil Emma getting into something she does not need to get into. And I am ordering one for my niece for her Christmas present so her lil lady can not find any more medications there. See Emma is all tucked in safe and sound here, just like my medications are.

A portion of each unit sold will support teen prescription drug abuse awareness programs through non-profits such as D.A.R.E. The product is presently available at www.helpsaveourkids.com for $49.95, and will soon be available in retail outlets nationwide.

It Takes a Village

I had a friend call me last week for some advice. You know that when your friends ask for advice you sit back and take a deep breath. Taking the time to hear what they are seeking and making sure you formulate your ideas before you talk. I am glad I did just that this time.

They wanted to know if I could help them find a drug rehabilitation for a friend of theirs. Oh this is a sticky situation was my first thought. Now I know that drug Treatment is very important. And that as friends we are often called on to help others when they do not perceive a problem. But is very hard to tell a friend that they need to find help.

Well I asked some questions about the situation that this friend was in. And I tried to draw from my own knowledge of seeking help for other type of problems. Most of all I passed on how I had been helped through my medical group to find a good place to go so I could quit with problems that I had unknowing had for most of my life.

I do know that residential drug rehab is the best way to go when trying to stop a habit of this nature. Because your needing to change your environment as well as your thought process. By being away from family, friends and especially bad influences the info you receive is processed faster. Also you have to take the time to think for yourself.

I really hope that I was able to help my friend with the lil bit of knowledge that I had. I especially hope that they were able to guide their friend to help. I know that it takes a village to raise a child. But it takes the same village to support one another too.
