ADDICTION IS THE MENTAL EXPRESSION
OF A TOXIC AND DEFICIENT BRAIN
|
Drugs are neurotoxic
Chronic drug use deeply affects the brain and creates addiction. For instance, methamphetamine is a potent neurotoxin shown to cause dopaminergic degeneration. When dopamine breaks down it produces reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide. It is likely that the oxidative stress that occurs after taking methamphetamine mediates its neurotoxicity.
Drugs destroy neurons and affect brain capacity
When the neurons get destroyed the natural neurotransmitter does not get synthesized properly in the right amount. The brain then sends signals that it needs the chemical for its proper function. This signal is experienced mentally as a craving, the strong urge to get that substance that the brain cannot manufacture properly anymore.
Heal the brain with proper nutrition
The starving brain signals that it is deficient in the neurotransmitter that was replaced by an external mimicker. Chronic drug abuse affects deeply some parts of the brain, but the MRI of a recovering drug addict shows that the brain can recover. It takes about a year for the brain of a cocaine addict to look like a normal brain.

ADDICTION RECOVERY
- COCAINE -
I had been doing drugs heavily for 16 years and no rehab or therapist could change me.
I was too full of toxins for the twelve-step program to ever work on me. I needed to clean my body out so that I could feel normal enough to fight the desire to do drugs.
Dr Balyac awakened me.
I have remained cocaine free now for 2 years (2008)....
