Leila Yazdi's curator insight, December 12, 2013 10:08 PM

A major breakthrough in the treatment of morphine and heorin addiction was found. Scientists have discovered a way to stop the addiction of both heroin and morphine while still acting as a pain killer. This will potentially lead to a new drug that can prevent the addiction of morphine and heroin, both of which are highly addictive drugs. This is how the drug works: "The drug (+)-naloxone automatically shuts down the addiction. It shuts down the need to take opioids, it cuts out behaviours associated with addiction, and the neurochemistry in the brain changes -- dopamine, which is the chemical important for providing that sense of 'reward' from the drug, is no longer produced."

This clip comes from "What the Bleep" which is uses entirely pseudo-scientific explanations of quantum physics to justify a self-help program. Dr. Joe Dispenza is a chiropractor, not a neuroscientist. Although some of his claims may be valid, he is far from qualified to talk on this subject.

Courtney Wyche's curator insight, December 9, 2013 9:46 AM

I think this explains a lot. Basically, they think drug addiction is biological so addiction is genetic, it doesn't really matter what the drug is an how addictive it can be. They make a point about nurture and nature, and want to gain a better understanding of the biological causes of addiction to tackle the problem.
