DRUG/ALCOHOL ADDICTION (The answer is)

Posted by Dr. Dale on October 25, 2006, at 22:55:51

The answer to drug & alcohol addiction is here in my opinion and it's called Prometa so if AA hasn't working for you like myself 9 months maybe, check out Prometa, a Los Angeles based company called Hythiam. I understand enough about the brain to tell you this makes logical sense, you have to correct the imbalance your drug use has caused.

I cannot find anything explaining the actual neurochemical action of this drug and untill its explained i will be totally skeptical. The fact that it reportedly helps dopamine centric drug addiction (amphetamine/coke/alcohol) makes me think its some sort of dopamine reuptake drug.

Congrats you've discovered ritalin.

This does not bode well, from the website:

Hythiam® does not provide medical advice or medical treatment, and makes no claims about the effectiveness and suitability of PROMETA in general or for any individual patient.

Lots of talk, never says what it is, & not proven effective.

Please don't, if you're not a doctor, pick a name implies that you are.

But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person.

If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:
