Drug Trials

January 29, 2017 / / 0 Comments

drugs are a chemical substance which can be used for good or bad. the good effect of drugs would be uses for medicines given by doctors.whereas the bad uses would be abusing the use of medicine or taking illegal drugs such as cocaine and meth. drugs can also be used to aid you in attacking diseases or change your physical structure.

there are three stages a drug has to go through to determine if it can be used as medicine for the general public. The reason for three trials is too ensure that the medication is safe, any side effects and if the medicines is effective. stage one is in the laboratory where the drug is used on grown human cells and computer models. many drugs will fail this trial as it  determines how safe the drugs are to human cells and also if it is effective, it shows a real life effect and a digital effect. After passing stage one, the drug will then go into stage two, animal testing. The use of animal for testing the drug is to show the possible side-effects .e.g. death and vomiting . finally onto the last stage, clinic trial. there are two types of clinic trials. 1.blind trials. This trial is when the volunteers are not told which group they’re in but the researchers do. 2. double blind trials. this trial is when neither the volunteers and the researchers know which group they’re in until the end of the trial. The main resign for this stage is too see the effectiveness of the drug on human and the side-effects. It is first tested on a group of healthy volunteers then on a group of sick volunteers in need of the medication. This will ensure that the drug is safe, stable and effective. after this stage the drug will be able to be used by doctors to prescribe for the patients.

Although it may not seem that long of letting the drug go through three stages, the process of an average drug goes up to 12 years. This is mainly to do will the development of the drug and can spend up to £550 million to create the drug. during the first part of development the drug can be extracted by a plant, for example a yew tree contains a type of  chemical which creates tamoxifen a known drug for battling breast cancer. or it can be extracted by an micro-organism.

darwin theory

Charles Darwin theory of evolution, was written in a book called ‘on the Origin of Species’ which was published in 1859. The theory used these key facts and theory, different qualities are heritable if they are needed, different species fight for resources, species show natural selection and how species that has characteristics which would match their environment will survive longer and would less likely turn extinct e.g white fur for polar bears this is so then they can camouflage with ice and snow to help them hunt their prey. natural selection is one of the key points for the evolution theory, natural selection is how species adapt to their new environment in order to survive. Jean-baptiste Lemrick was another scientist who studied the evolution theory, he believed that the reason for giraffes long necks is because giraffes stretches their necks in order to get food of trees, the neck will then become longer as the giraffe uses it more and then the giraffes child will soon inherit the long neck. Whereas Darwin believed that giraffes have longer necks in order to reach food to help them survive and so then they can reproduce then after the giraffes child will also inherit the long neck. Lemrick and Darwin had the same conclusion but had a different reason for why a giraffe has a long neck.

There he laid in front of everyone. Laying on the wooden basketball court. His right shin was poking out while his left leg was dropped to the grounds, his right leg was dangling from where his shin broke. The whole crowd gasped as they saw the horrible scene. The player who fell and broke his shin was screaming in pain. there was no blood dripping from his shin but it still was a shocking view to see. A few seconds after he dropped to the ground destroying his knee the medics came to help

The man

The man

“Hey there, how are you doing?”

“My name is Jake.”

“I see you are going to go camping. I had a … well experience in this very forest.”

“Would you like to hear it?”

So it all started when I was around 23 years old. Going to camp just like what you’re doing, just a bit different. I was looking for a type of stone called Mirusalx. I don’t know if you have heard of it before but most people say it is a myth. The man who found the stone was called Alfred Slend, but he … disappeared a few days, after he left to search for it.

I believed it was true so I left to find it a couple of days after the forest had reopened again. I spent weeks in Oxford Forest looking for that one stone. I searched everywhere, in trees, under the dirt everywhere but it was still nowhere to be seen. Could it really be a myth?

But then I remembered. There was still one part of the forest. I had never been there since the … difficulties. I wasn’t really sure if I should go there. Rumor says the area was taped off. Did I go there? Well yes I did.

The area of the forest that had been taped off was on the north side. At first I wasn’t going to go because I was too scared, I had been scared as I used to go there for my birthday. I ate at the pizza dinner every year for my birthday up until my 13th birthday when … it happened. They had to close it down. I went to the north side to see no tape around the tree.

The rumors a lie but the accident wasn’t.

As I strolled down the forest I could tell nobody had come here as often or was it because I haven’t been here for 10 years. I saw all the moss stuck on the   colossal trees.

I walked deeper into the north side and saw the stone. The one and only stone I’ve been searching for 3 weeks. Laying on the … wooden stairs of a dinner.

I slowly looked up to see the pizza dinner. I once used to go. I crept up between the trees and quickly picked it up.

Suddenly I saw millions of images flashing in front of me and …

I fell to the ground releasing the rock. Moments later I slowly stood up to feel a burnt mark on my hand, but I wasn’t worried about  the burnt mark. I had been worried of one of the pictures that flashed in front of me. I could only remember that one specific photo.

It had been a tall pale man, no face features just standing there, staring at me.

Thinking.

I quickly shook my head of unbelief of what I had seen. I rose up my left arm to see the time. It was 13:36. I had fainted for about 30 minutes. I looked towards the rock and started to take pictures. I had then pulled my bag and grabbed a cloth to pick up the stone. I had than placed it carefully inside my backpack.

As I walked down the path I was amazed that I found the rock but yet depressed. I was still thinking of the tall man. I thought I saw him before. All I could remember was a tall, pale man with no face features, wearing a suit. I thought to myself who was this man.

“Did I know him in my past life?”

What if that was Alfred. If it was, what happened to him?

The man had a head but no face. Doing nothing but standing.

“Or could it be a haunted ghost living in this forest no or a crazy man in hiding from the police?”

“Who was he?”

Before I knew it I reached the gate. I saw the picture rising into my eyes as if he was around me, but he wasn’t. The more I thought about him, the more crazy ideas I got. The craziest idea I had was an internet myth I read about.

A creature named Slenderman.

I thought he was Slenderman. I didn’t thought, I knew it must have been him. It all fits together. The man’s name was Slenderman was said to live in the forest. Why would he live in the forest probably to hid. Who else would live in the forest? Alfred Slend would. He would live in the forest because he had been ashamed of not finding the stone. Alfred Slend’s last name ”Slend” is half of the name of Slenderman. So that image I saw must have been Alfred…

BOOM!

I opened my eyes and heard an eerie noise in my ear. I was laying on the road seeing cars flipped. Fire everywhere, I could barely move my body. I saw a blue and red light flashing. A man rushed over and carried me onto a gurney pushing me into the ambulance van.  What happened was there had been a car chase because of a bank robbery near Oxford Street.

I spent 4 weeks at the hospital waiting to recover.

The doctors told me it was a miracle for me to survive the accident. I had broken my left arm and right leg. After a month the hospital let me leave.

A few days later I went down the road to buy milk for my breakfast. As I looked at the door I saw it…

“You saw what?” The camper asked.

“I will show you.”

I slowly looked up and took of my hat which covered my face.

As I looked at the camper. I watched the camper scream in terror like he was losing his soul.

It had been me along.
