Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dr. Ruth used Ephemerol to create Scanners through the Ripe program but used it to control them after they were born?

Correct.

Some people just can't handle their emphemerol.

Yes. I see it as kind of analogous to Ritalin. Ritalin is a drug that acts as a stimulant in "normal" people, but for the hyperactive it paradoxically acts as a calming agent.
