Don`t Ask, Don`t Tell: Discrimination in a Frontline Dogface`s Foxhole
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
Medically/scientifically I believe they were born that way and if God loves all his children he should love them also.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
I was 21 years old and a college graduate when I volunteered to be drafted into the WWII Army. I really didn’t have to go.
I ended up in a seven private section with 18-year old boys. They were still exuberant boys and I had little in common with them except the Army BS.

Spanish Fly/Cantharides: Does it Work?
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
I think it was Ogden Nash who said “candy is dandy but liquor is quicker”. What do I know? Spanish Fly in slight overdose can be painfully lethal.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
Boy oh boy do we get weird questions. Writing “ask Dr. Leveque, Pharmacologist” in my biography is a mixed blessing.
One recent inquiry, “What is Spanish Fly and does it really work?”. I think every 15-year-old boy has heard about this, and it seems to pique his fancy.

Marijuana Addiction and the Fraudulent Therapy Industry
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
The plans have a built in captive group and it works like a “cash cow”.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
Anybody who has read any of my medical marijuana articles in Salem-News.com, GOOGLE or several other websites knows that I am a strong advocate of this MIRACLE MEDICINE.
In the meantime the ridiculous propaganda movie Reefer Madness still seems to be believable to many people. In fact Marijuana Addiction Therapy is widely advertised on television and on many websites. For my own peace of mind I decided that I had better look into it. First of all, if a person is arrested on any kind of marijuana charge the judge will say so many days, months or years in jail or go to a drug rehabilitation program.

Migraines: Trash Medicines and the Real McCoy
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
Cannabis affects blood vessels with dilation which should make this worse but it is also an excellent pain killer and sedative which these patients need the most or worst.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
Frequently I get emails asking about Migraines which affect about 30 million Americans and is probably one of the most devastatingly debilitating ills of mankind caused by dilation of blood vessels in the brain and causing pressure on the brain itself.
It has been around for a long time and probably was first treated with alcohol which might have made it worse till the person was anesthetized by the alcohol.

Sex Addiction, Polygamy, Satyrism & Nymphomania This is the News
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
If anyone is distressed by the above grouping, get over it!
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
I think newspapers similar to The Hearst Newspaper chain like to sell lots of newspapers and this seems to have a catchy interest. So be it.
I really can’t understand the big kafuffle, this has been going on for at least a million years. The male has always been the most assertive about this but not necessarily. Every male animal I know of is essentially polygamous. How about groupies and WWII victory girls?

Obama, Obama, Obama Is Republican Prejudice Congenital or Acquired?
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
To have a Black Republican National Chairman berate Senator Harry Reid for his remarks is the worst form of hypocrisy.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
This article is about the President but it is also about Harry Reid, Democratic Majority Leader, Michael Steele, Republican National Chairman, a whole herd of Republican Congressmen and a few Congressional Democrats.
First of all I must say that this is about DISCRIMINATION, PREJUDICE and DIFFERENCES written by a Flaming Liberal with very few prejudices. I don’t know if my personal experiences are unique but they are unusual!

Circumcision and Penile Anesthesia: Not Before but After
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
As a doctor doing physical exams hundreds of times a circumcised penis does not look like a normal one; the skin looks leathery and it is no surprise that victims complain that the sensitivity is decreased or even lost.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
Exactly why Tim King posted his article about Penile Mutilation, December 26, 2009 in Salem-News.com I have no idea. It brought on a tsunami of responses which really staggered me.
I thought I should enter the fray from the “other side” of the scalpel – Circumcision by an Intern, Dec. 30, 2009.

Reefer Madness Epidemic in Police Departments
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
Let's hope the epidemic subsides.
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
The movie Reefer Madness portraying totally false images of people going crazy from smoking marijuana/cannabis has been completely discredited and was used to make the Hearst newspapers lots of money. It is so grotesque that it is laughable. Reefer Madness as a psychological condition still exists but is in the police organizations[1].
The weird reasoning of the DEA and other similar organizations is not clear but a form of megalomaniacal hysteria exists.

Medical Marijuana Expert Discusses PTSD and Depression (VIDEO)
Bonnie King and Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
The Doc says unlike depression, anguish is very close to what a PTSD sufferer experiences.
(SALEM, Ore.) -
Dr. Phil Leveque and Bonnie King discuss a very important subject, that is the connection between PTSD and depression.
The VA says PTSD amounts to depression, but Dr. Leveque, who has suffered from PTSD since 1945, says the finding is geared toward saving the VA more money.

VA Medical Mistreatment: Gross Betrayal of Veterans Nobody is Responsible
Dr. Phil Leveque Salem-News.com
The VA doctors have a proclivity for prescribing powerful, adverse-side effect drugs. Oxycontin is the worst example
(MOLALLA, Ore.) -
On January 3, 2010 CBS aired a program about one million mistreated, disabled veterans having disability claims DELAYED, DENIED by a system that waits for them to DIE.
This is so perversely punitive and sick one would think the VA is part of the NAZI death camps. The results are often the same.

Dr. Phil LevequeSalem-News.com Medical Expert/Staff WriterEmail: newsroom@salem-news.com In a unique new segment, Salem-News.com brings viewers the words and wisdom of one of Oregon's most famous doctors, Dr. Phillip Leveque, a man who fought in World War Two and now fights to make access to marijuana a matter of reality. He also was instrumental in the initial changing of Oregon law that allowed medical the use of Medical Marijuana in the first place. He's been a fighter since his days in the Army during World War Two, when he captured 26 Nazi officers in a single day by himself. These days this veteran physician fights for the rights of patients who use marijuana as a medicine and for veterans suffering from PTSD, something he is no stranger to. The world is changing fast and medical marijuana is a daily reality for thousands of patients in Oregon, and hundreds of thousands of people nationwide who suffer from a variety of illnesses. But who can pot smokers turn to for medical care? Needless to say, a vast majority of users are hesitant to discuss their use with physicians, and doctors are fearful when it comes to discussing a substance that potentially violates the law. Federal laws still consider possession of pot illegal, even though states and individual counties have adopted their own standards. Because of the federal shadow cast on the situation, hundreds of thousands of legal users and millions of illegal users, go without adequate medical advice. Until now.
