INDIANAPOLIS — An Indiana University School of Medicine scientist has been awarded $3 million to develop a nasal spray intended to combat suicidal thoughts among soldiers.
IU said TRH is known to have antidepressant and anti-suicidal effects, but it isn’t suitable for injection or oral use. So Kubek and other scientists at Purdue and at Hebrew University in Jerusalem are developing a nasal spray designed to deliver appropriate doses of the drug to the brain over time.
The project is part of a national effort designed to combat suicides in the nation’s military.
Guess what will happen next. Yep, you guessed it. When the suicides migrate here to our shores and increasingly affect the civilian class, which they invariably will, what do you thing the solution will be? Grow the economy? Nope, give a serf some nasal spray!
We are better than this.

Yup. He signed up. He took their filthy money.
Now they own him.
And there are lot of them killing themselves, so think about that for a while.
Reality -- suicide is up across the board. Not just the military. Here is another reality -- the military is used widely as guinea pigs. They force these men/women to take immunizations that are still in the very beginning stages of research. A suicide nasal spray. What a crock of $---.
So BIg PHarma not killing enough with the over prescribing anti despessents??? What do you all think is causing this epidemic?? The FDA gonna save us...ha ha he he ...So now they want to start using a more direct way..Wow this counrty is so screwed...
9:16-Agreed.I know a few non military people who could use this product.
