Opiates (Pain Medication) Street
Drugs and Alcohol Withdrawal
Opiates (pain medication), street drugs,
and alcohol create many of the same problems in the brain
while taking or when attempting to withdrawal.
The use of prescription drugs of all type
now account for more use of an illegal substance than street
drugs. Not all of you reading this web site are taking a
drug illegally, but I want to clarify a commonly asked
question before we begin.
Drugs do
not have a cognitive thought processes.
Drugs do not know if they are being taken as a prescription,
prescribed by a physician, or if it was sold by the local
drug dealer and used by a drug addict or occasional user. I
state this because many seem to think that because a
physician proscribed the drug it will somehow be different
for them and the illegal drug user does not pay attention to
the side effects because it was not prescribed by a
physician.
You are currently on The Road Back
Program web site, we are located in the United States, we
have helped well over forty thousand individuals become drug
free since 1999. With our breakthrough research in 2013, we
are now able to truly help individuals that are taking an
opiate, street drug and even alcohol get off those
substances and return to a full life once again.
Our focus over the past 14-years has
mainly been with psychoactive drugs, such as,
benzodiazepines, antidepressants and anti-psychotic
medications. Along the way we have helped countless of
people off opiates of all type but it was not until our 2010
and 2013 breakthroughs that allowed us to put the needed
attention on opiates, street drugs and alcohol.
Let's face it, with an 85% failure rate
by drug Detox facilities, what is currently being used to
help people off an these drugs is not working. Medical
science may know more in 2013 about the brain, about all of
the neurons firing and dopamine but with an 85% failure rate
the wrong area has been addressed or the current withdrawal
programs would have at the very least an 85% success rate.
We do not mean to belittle or make less
of the hardworking and caring staff at Detox facilities;
they are subjected to the withdrawal method put in place by
the administration that has based their program on invalid
science and financial gain, even though most are a not for
profit. Otherwise, we would be seeing an 85% success rate at
the very least.
Most people using a pain medication are
also taking a psychoactive drug of some type. If you wish to
taper off the psychoactive medication as well as a drug in
this classification, you can click the
How to Start
link found on the top navigation menu.
If you do not wish to read about
this program and why it works, but just want to
dive in and start feeling better, go to the web site
www.shop.neurogeneticsolutions.com and purchase a
supplement called Neuro Endure. Take 1 tablet first thing in
the morning, 1 more tablet 5 hours later and a third tablet
5 hours later.
What is Happening in the Body When a Pain Medication, Street
Drug and Alcohol is Used
These drugs will create a metabolic
disorder. The metabolic changes will affect regions of the
brain, the immune system, the nitric oxide/nitric oxide
synthase cycle, liver metabolism rate and various other
systems of the body.
Drug side effects as well as drug
withdrawal side effects begin at the onset of the metabolic
disturbances. The success rate of our program, as well as
any withdrawal program will be determined by how effective
the metabolic disturbances are addressed and how the
individual reduces the drug during withdrawal.
We want to walk you through the metabolic
changes that occur in the body when a drug is used but we
need to start at a point before the drug was even introduced
to the body to give the full sequence of events.
If you are using a legal prescription of
a drug, some type of body injury or metabolic disruption
would have occurred before the first dosage of the drug was
given. The body will attempt to overcome the injury or
metabolic changes by activating genes, enzymes, and proteins
as a way to reduce the inflammation and stress, and help the
body survive. There are various metabolic changes the body
will go through during this time period but the main one we
are interested in is the activation of a gene called JNK and
enzymes produced by the JNK gene called JNK1, JNK2 and JNK3.
The work being done inside the cells are
done by enzymes. Cells need to carry out chemical reactions
quickly in order to function properly and the enzymes allow
this to happen. Enzymes are made from amino acids. When
enzymes are made, it is accomplished by stringing amino
acids in an exact sequence for the purpose they are to
provide within the cell.
Regarding the JNK enzymes, the JNK3
enzyme will go directly to the brain, heart and testes, the
JNK2 enzyme has a pathway to the skin and the JNK 1 enzyme
will affect all other parts of the body.
When an injury occurs to the body the JNK
gene will become overactive and send the JNK enzyme to that
injured area to kill the affected cells. In an ideal
scenario the JNK would do its job and then reduce in
activation and return to a normal state once again. However,
when a chronic pain exist or an injury to a body part takes
a prolonged period it heal, the JNK will remain active and
indiscriminately begin to kill off healthy cells and keep
activated other parts of the cell as a survival mechanism of
the body.
An over activated JNK will also
compromise the immune system. We have a protein in our
immune system called Interleukin-2 that must remain high
enough or the body will not reach stage 2 of sleep and sleep
problems will begin to occur.
These drugs, including alcohol, activate
the JNK regardless of an injury being present. So, the JNK
has already been activated too some degree from the injury
or pain and now the drug takes the JNK activation over the
top. But this time, with the drug being used, the JNK3
enzyme is activated and this is the beginning of cell death
in the brain. The frontal cortex to be exact.
From the first use of the drug, the JNK3
will be over expressed for 14-days. As long as the drug
dosage is not reduced or increased, the JNK will move back
toward a normal state after 14-days pass. If there is any
titration of the drug, up or down after the initial dosage,
the JNK will become over activated once again for 14-days.
When the tolerance (current
dosage no longer provides relief) to the drug is reached
the individual taking the drug will no longer receive the
same effect and the dosage of the drug will need to be
increased.
Studies have shown, if the individual
taking the drug keeps the JNK from becoming over expressed
they do not develop a tolerance to the drug and can remain
at the same dosage. Additional studies need to be conducted
to confirm the study but this gives hope for the patient and
physician with some indication the tolerance to the drug can
be reduced or eliminated.
When the drug is discontinued completely,
the JNK remains over expressed for 28-days before it
subsides and returns to a normal condition.
The over expression of the JNK is the
basic point where other side effects of drug usage derive
from. You can attempt to treat the immune system,
respiratory system and other side effects but until you can
keep the JNK reduced you do not have a chance of reducing
the other side effects.
The supplement mentioned above, Neuro
Endure, has the formula that will decrease the over
activation of the JNK gene and JNK enzymes. Specifically,
the JNK located in brain cells.
A few other interesting studies regarding
the JNK gene and JNK enzyme and drugs:
Aberrant behavior associated with cocaine
usage does not begin until the cocaine has activated the JNK
gene.
Asians are missing a gene required for
the metabolism of alcohol. Alcohol greatly expresses the JNK
gene because of this and this is why alcohol greatly affects
Asians more than other ethnicities.
The list goes on and on regarding
opiates, street drugs and alcohol regarding the over
activation of the JNK gene and JNK enzymes and their
negative affect on the brain and then other parts of the
body.
When taking the Neuro Endure, the tablet
was formulated to breakdown within 30-minutes after
swallowing.
Reducing
Drugs
Reduce the pain medications by as close
to 10% every 14-days to discontinue usage. This will have
you off the drug in roughly 4 ½ months. Remember, this is
not a speed race and the goal is to get you off the drug
successfully and to have you feel well during the process.
If you are taking pain medication
illegally, or street drugs, try and find a way to slowly
reduce the drug. As close to 10% every 14-days if at all
possible. If you can’t do this, be as close as you can to
10%.
If you have come off the drugs already,
immediately start the Neuro Endure. The withdrawal should
begin to subside within 3 days.
Alcohol – Alcohol would be easy to reduce
by 10% every 14-days with it being a liquid. You would need
to determine first; how much you drink each day on average,
then drink 10% less every 14-days.
If at any time you have difficulty
sleeping, you can include a supplement called Body Calm Supreme
With Melatonin. It is also available at Neuro Genetic
Solutions. Take 1 capsule 15-minutes before bedtime.
