The fact that a huge portion of AUD goes untreated is sad.

In Finland, we use disulfiram quite a lot for some reason despite it having less evidence behind it compared to naltrexone. Change does not come fast, I guess.

You are also left with a rhubarb mush after boiling it. You can freeze this in ice cube trays and add to smoothies or oatmeal etc.

The resulting juice is quite concentrated and should be diluted. You can usually get 3-5 liters of juice per liter of concentrate.

It keeps in the fridge for a few days, and I recommend freezing as a storage solution.

Rhubarb juice is great! It's refreshing and a lovely pink color!

Ingredients : Equal parts rhubarb and water, sugar to taste (around 1/10 of the volume of rhubarb), some cardamom.

1. Cut the rhubarb into chunks
2. Boil for 10 minutes.
3. Add sugar
4. Strain into bottles.

You can freeze the excess

Clearly more work needs to be done to educate patients about safe storage of drugs. Overdoses in children are tragic and preventable.

Maybe clinics offering SUD treatment should give out inexpensive locked safes for their patients to store their meds/drugs in?

Governments have long had the ability to control the direction of scientific research by being a major funder of academia.

It is however previously unheard of that a democratically elected government tries to control what does and does not get published. These are dark times for academia.

It would be hard to argue that a laboratory outbreak would be unlikely to happen, considering that they happen all the time around the world!
