Dr. Berg talks about opioid and heroin addictions and are they really a disease or merely a symptom. When someone is addicted to opioids or heroin or any drug, what's happening in certain neurotransmitters is creating certain effects and sensations like pleasure. This includes dopamine, GABA, serotonin, etc. In fact, the effect of some of these drugs is 10x that of food and sex. This makes it highly addictive.

At first, the person feels incredible, then the body starts to protect itself and resist it causing a downgrade of its receptors. This leads to a lack of absorption as well as a lack of production of dopamine. It's the neurotransmitter depletion that creates the withdrawal symptoms and the addiction.

Certain drugs are then recommended, like methadone. This is replacing one drug with another. It is called Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT). Here's the problem, It comes with a package and there are massive side effects of this drug.

SIDE EFFECTS COULD INCLUDE:
-seizures
-decrease libido
-impotence
-weight gain
-hallucinations
-sleep apnea
-vomiting
-heart arrhythmia
-death (over 3300 in 2015)
-suicide thoughts
-depression
-apathy
-panic attacks
-paranoia

Various organizations will tell you this treatment is effective, it's successful - has a good outcome, but their definition of "good outcome" means you are off the original drug. Okay, then how are you going to get off the new drug? Are there studies that show this is effective, or more benefits that are unbias?

When presented with the recommendation of a friend, or family member being put on this approach - ask the following questions:
-What are the side effects?
-How long will they be on the "Medication-Assisted Treatment"
-Where are the actual studies that prove that addictions are a brain disease. If you look at changes in brain chemistry in people with addiction, who is to say that those changes were created by the original drugs and the addiction is merely the longer effects. The problem with treating the addiction is you will mask the deeper brain chemistry imbalance. Why not try natural and alternative approaches like amino acid therapy for addiction. Do your research.

Here are the following amino acids that potentially could support healthy brain function:
*5-HTP
*L-Tyrosine
*L-Glutamine
*DL-Phenylalanine (DLPA)
*B1, B5, B6, B12 (nutritional yeast)
*Minerals and trace minerals

The ultimate solution is a drug-free body - trying to fix a drug addiction with drugs is not the greatest good for one's body.
