The cult started out in the US(I can't remember which state, but for some reason I remember it being in the mid-west), but when the government started to get involved and such, they moved to Mexico. They started a town named Jones Town. Jim Jones was the leaders name.
They started in San francisco, and moved to Guyana
not mexico
The name of the cult was People's Temple
Huh...could have sworn it was Mexico..meh. Its been a while since I read about it.

Probably not much. My daughter has epilepsy and takes medication daily to prevent seizures. She can take antibiotics with no interaction problems.
On a different topic, someone mentioned in this same forum that they thought that Bree was receiving fertility treatments and had seizures. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for the Order to choose someone to impregnate with a known seizure disorder. Women with epilepsy have a higher rate of serious birth defects in their babies than the general population does. Depending on the medication the woman is on to control her seizures, the risk of birth defects can be as high as 25%. So if they were trying to birth the new leader of the order or something like that, I would think they would choose someone who would have a lower risk pregnancy.
Iwas rewatching for about the billionth time, and I know sometimes we're prone to overanalyzing stuff. So, try not to hurt yourselves. But I noticed Daniel pans by an object and then comes back to it and sort of zooms in for a split second. This is the clearest screenshot I could get.
Just curious.

Well done.
One thing, though, guys. I'm not sure we've solved the mystery of what the pills are yet. We've confirmed Cerebyx and Zosyn now thanks to alysa and ghost, but I'm pretty sure both of those are medications that are injected (in Zosyn's case, I think it has to be; it's ineffective when taken orally according to the Wikipedia entry). Both are intravenous/intramuscular, so we still have to figure out what the pills are.

I also find it strange that the Wiki for Cerebyx says it is only used in hospitals. I know Bree's dad is a doctor, so he'd have access to it, but I didn't think doctors could just take meds out of their places of work like that.

I thought they were iron pills.
So Bree said. But Bree has been known to lie. Or she might just think they're iron pills because that's what she was told. She didn't even know what she was being injected with, after all.

maybe the injections were to keep her from having convulsions while they were implanting her tracking device....
and Zosyn is used as to prevent infection after the surgery.
On a note about the pills, it could be that they were simply iron pills. Bree states that she was on a strict diet, and perhaps that diet was lacking iron-rich foods (like if she wasn't allowed to eat a lot of meat, for example). And from personal experience, a lack of iron in the diet can make a girl's period awful and she can become slightly anemic because of it, which makes the period last longer than normal. So it's possible that she was taking iron supplements to prevent that from happening (which is what I had to do when I had an iron deficiency a few years back to prevent the same thing). A lack of iron can also make you very tired, and people noted time and time again how tired she looked while she was preparing for the ceremony.

Good point. That works for me. If the Creators let that be the answer to the mystery, it would make good sense. We've got enough to ponder over with these injection medicines as is anyway.
