## Resource

Andre Thomas was placed into the GATE program as a child. Afterwards he began hearing voices of Angels and Demons. He turned to cannibalism, self mutilation, and murder. Also, we uncover the story of the Elixir of Death, a 1937 medical disaster where a toxic medicine was sold to the public, killing more than 100 people and exposing the deadly lack of drug regulation in America.
