u have to understand ,opiate users arent high all the time ,unless u can afford ALOT,but then u still run into work problems so i dont think its the actual drug getting rid of sickness
,yourability to get sick is still there ,i mean look at cotton fever when germs have a "express lane" to your brain ...u get the "fever "
i once read a book that told of how "u" pick what virus/germ gets through(at a quantum level) ,u walk around everyday with enough pathagens(sp) to kill u right in your lungs,what lets ONE get through?
is it so hard to believe that your body/mind is so driven by the addiction to say nope nothing is slowing us down at this time....i think maybe subcosciously(sp) this is whats happening ,i mean there is a case of a boy in the book with multiple personality disorder,one is allergic to orange juice,when its drank as one of the other personalities and then he changes into the other personality he broke out in hives,scars would appear and disapear with each personality ,moles ,freckles etc
so to me it isnt hard to believe your body chooses to NOT get sick especially going through addiction to opiates ,u dont think ur getting alot of germs in ur shot of dope? thats been in HOW MANY hands,stuffed in places u rather not know about....cut with god knows what,in a bag thats been WHERE?
