    William Stilley: Working On New Alcohol Addiction Treatments At Adial Pharmaceuticals

    Speaking with the CEO and founder of a pharmaceutical company was an incredible experience. William Stilley knows the science inside and out. And, he is able to explain it clearly, in understandable terms.What makes Adial different from many of the well-known drug companies is that they are working on new molecules to target specific receptors very precisely, rather than simply repackaging old products, or selling drugs that recklessly go after many receptors, leading to more side effects and adverse reactions. Additionally, their treatment for alcohol use disorder is a drug that works best for people with a specific genetic profile.It will be the first genetically targeted therapy available to the public. For patients who have a positive match on the prerequisite genetic screen, this treatment may be expected to work effectively, with minimal concern for side effects.We also discussed another drug that is in early development that is being studied for use in treating pain. The mechanism involves increasing adenosine, which may be useful for many other conditions as well. Mr. Stilley described it as being like caffeine times 200, but without the adverse effects of caffeine.I look forward to seeing the results of this upcoming research and the possibilities for new treatments in the Adial pipeline.

    Christy Huff, M.D. currently serves as the director of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition. She is also a cardiologist, graduating at the top of her class, and attending top post-graduate training programs in noninvasive cardiology.Dr. Huff was prescribed benzodiazepines many years ago, and became physically dependent on this potentially dangerous class of psychiatric drugs. After a difficult tapering process to help her get off of benzodiazepines, she has now been benzo-free for several years.As director of the Benzodiazepine Information Coalition, she wants to deliver some important messages to doctors and patients who have been prescribed benzodiazepines, or may be prescribed benzodiazepines in the future.Benzodiazepine physical dependence is not the same as addiction. In fact, the vast majority of people who develop a physical dependence on these drugs are not at all addicted. Physical dependence means that a person has withdrawal symptoms when the drug is removed from their system. Addiction implies self-harming behaviors, characterized by cravings and compulsions to continue consumption of drugs that have a high abuse potential. Benzodiazepine physical dependence is not addiction.People who have become dependent on these drugs do have hope. It is possible to safely taper off of benzodiazepines, using a slow taper method, such as the Ashton Method described in the Ashton Manual. While the process can sometimes be difficult, and the recovery period after completing the taper can take time, patients who quit benzodiazepines do eventually stop feeling withdrawal symptoms, and they do learn ways to address anxiety without the need for prescription drugs.I encourage listeners of this episode to visit https://benzoinfo.com. There is extensive information on the site for doctors and patients. While you are there, search for articles written by Dr. Huff. Her articles are informative, and they offer hope for the struggling benzodiazepine-dependent people who are looking for answers.Please also visit Dr. Leeds' practice website at https://drleeds.com and the podcast website at https://therehab.com.

    Nicole Lamberson is a Physician Assistant residing in Virginia. She obtained a BS at James Madison University in 2000 and then went on to complete the Master of Physician Assistant program at Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2004. She practiced in Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine settings until severe illness from prescribed psychiatric medication polypharmacy and a subsequent protracted withdrawal syndrome left her unable to work. Aside from her role with Medicating Normal doing marketing, distribution and outreach, she co-founded The Withdrawal Project, an effort of the nonprofit, Inner Compass Initiative. She also serves on the Medical Advisory Board of Benzodiazepine Information Coalition and is a founding member of the Colorado Consortium's Benzodiazepine Action Work Group. She also founded and co-administrates a small support group for those injured by prescribed psychiatric medication. In the future, Nicole hopes to practice again with a focus on prescribed medication withdrawal management and also participate in education initiatives around psychiatric drug withdrawal for medical prescribers.Award-winning filmmaker, and co-director/producer of Medicating Normal, Lynn Cunningham produced, directed and edited films/TV for PBS and the History Channel in the 1980s and 90s (A Quiet Revolution: The Emergence of Alternative Education in Japan; Twenty Years of Co-Education; A Family in Progress; An Innovator's Story, Behind the Scenes, Walter Reuther & the Birth of the UAW, Tadao Ando, Butoh: A Body on the Edge of Crisis, etc).Twenty years ago, as she was becoming a parent herself, Lynn witnessed with crushing despair the dramatic transformation of a beloved family member. Once a bright, high-functioning scholar/athlete having graduated from an elite college, Lynn's relative had become in a few short years– a terrified, suicidal shell of her former self— diagnosed with serious mental illness. Putting their faith in the best psychiatric standard of care at the time in the late 90s, Lynn and her family were initially reassured by the relief and stability provided by medication and therapy. After a ten-year period, however, one medicine had become ten, and income from a vibrant, self-sufficient career was replaced with monthly disability payments. Unable to provide an answer to her relative's persistent self-doubt, “Is everything going to be OK?”” Lynn began searching for answers. She joined with her filmmaking partner Wendy Ractliffe, embarking on five years of research into the complex world of mental health treatment. After discovering Robert Whitaker's Anatomy of an Epidemic, they interviewed 100s of psychiatric patients and consulted with scores of experts across the country about their experiences. A personal quest to help one suffering individual turned into a mission to tell an untold story. In Medicating Normal, Lynn and Wendy began to piece together a stunning new perspective on the safety and efficacy of psychiatric drugs and society's over reliance on them to relieve pain and suffering.https://medicatingnormal.com/http://withdrawal.theinnercompass.org/http://www.theinnercompass.org/http://www.benzoinfo.com/https://corxconsortium.org/work-groups/benzodiazepine/***********************************Please visit our podcast website at https://therehab.comAnd Dr. Leeds' professional website at https://drleeds.comThank you!

CAUDS also works to educate healthcare providers and the public about proven medical treatments that are effective in helping people to overcome alcohol addiction.While previous episodes on this podcast have focused on the use of naltrexone in treating alcohol use disorder, there are other medical treatments which can be helpful, in addition to naltrexone, or as an alternative for people who cannot tolerate naltrexone. There are also people who do not respond well to naltrexone, so adding additional medication can sometimes be helpful.Now, that medication assisted treatment of alcohol use disorder is becoming more commonplace, mainly as a harm reduction method in the form of The Sinclair Method, it is important that patients and their doctors understand that there are additional treatments available that can help to make their program more effective, if needed.I hope that this podcast episode is helpful in providing useful information to patients who can share it with their doctors, and for doctors who are looking for additional resources to offer their patients.

    The Sinclair Method (TSM) is a form of medication-assisted treatment for alcohol use disorder. TSM helps people to reduce their alcohol consumption by taking an opioid receptor blocking medication before drinking. Over time, the alcohol habit is erased from the brain, leading to the extinction of the habit.The basics of TSM are simple and straightforward. Yet, the implementation can be a bit more complicated. How often do you take the tablet and drink? Do you have to drink on days when you don't feel like drinking? Should you drink on a schedule, or pay attention to alcohol cravings? How do you know you are having an alcohol craving? What do you do when you have intolerable side effects from medication?There are many questions that come up when a person has a prescription bottle in hand, filled with naltrexone, the opioid blocker most often used by US patients who practice TSM. Doctors who agree to help their patients by prescribing naltrexone are not always experienced at helping out with the details of an individualized TSM program.This is where a qualified TSM coach can be helpful. A TSM coach is someone who has extensive experience in addressing the issues that can arise when unique individuals attempt to follow the program.Samara Ibanez is a coach with many years of experience in helping people to overcome addictions, including alcohol addiction. She is aware of the many hurdles and pitfalls that may show up when a person attempts to follow TSM. Her problem-solving approach is effective in helping people to find ways to make TSM work for them. For people who have begun the TSM journey, and are looking for professional support to ensure smooth sailing towards extinguishing the alcohol habit, Samara Ibanez may have the answers they are looking for. As a certified TSM coach with personal experience of overcoming many difficulties and finding great success in the program, Ms. Ibanez is prepared to help others to find success as well.Please visit our websites for more great podcast episodes and informative articles. https://drleeds.com and https://therehab.com.

    Alcohol addiction is a serious and difficult condition to overcome. There are many different medical services that, when used together, can help treat and prevent addiction. As simple as this seems, many people neglect these solutions until it is too late.Have you heard about the C Three Foundation?The C Three foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for The Sinclair Method, or TSM. TSM is a way to reduce alcohol consumption for people who suffer from alcohol addiction and for gray area drinkers.Jenny Williamson is the Executive Director of the Board of Directors of the C Three Foundation. She works hard to increase awareness of TSM so that more alcohol dependent people will have the opportunity to learn more about this form of pharmacological extinction that essentially erases the alcohol habit from the brain.Unfortunately, the treatment industry has not participated in promoting this harm reduction protocol for helping people to reduce their drinking. Ms. Williamson is aware that most of that responsibility has fallen on the C Three Foundation.There are several alcohol addiction treatment options, including TSM. It is reasonable to offer patients choices and it is reasonable to make recomendations based on the individual situations of individual patients.People deserve equal access to treatment for alcohol misuse. Ms. Williamson and actress Claudia Christian have created the C Three Foundation as a program to act as a bridge between healthcare providers and people interested in medication for alcohol treatment so they can work on overcoming alcoholism.While naltrexone is the main medication used in The Sinclair Method, the C Three Foundation has no connection to the manufacturers of Naltrexone. While naltrexone, the opiate blocker, plays an important part in treating alcohol abuse, there is more to TSM than just taking a pill every day.As a tax exempt organization that is structured as a charity, the C Three Foundation provides information on the science of TSM and it provides an advanced treatment locator to help prospective patients to find healthcare providers experienced with TSM.Please visit Jenny Williamson at https://cthreefoundation.org/Learn more at our website https://drleeds.com and our podcast website, https://therehab.com.

    Dr. Miller has determined that one category of meth user is a person who goes through life without adequate energy to complete tasks related to their activities of daily living. They found that self-treating their lack of energy with meth made it possible to get through the day. He identifies these patients using a line of questioning that proposes hypothetical situations that elicit a particular response.The other major category of meth user is the person who has attention deficit disorder. He describes these patients as being angry and short-tempered, but often regretful and remorseful of their actions.Dr. Miller describes these patients as being "dual diagnosed." The addiction is one diagnosis, and the underlying mental health issue is the other diagnosis. He complains that many addiction specialists only attempt to treat the addiction without giving proper attention to the condition that drives the addiction.Incredibly, Dr. Miller claims a very high success rate in treating patients for meth addiction. He states that within a short period of time, cravings subside. The meth addict simply no longer needs meth to get through the day.

    Lloyd Sederer, M.D., is currently an adjunct professor at the Columbia University School of Public Health. He has won many top awards in the field of psychiatry, and he has served as a leader in the field of public health in New York for the past two decades. In the 90s, Dr. Sederer was the chief psychiatrist at McLean hospital, the psychiatric teaching hospital for Harvard Medical School. He has published thirteen books, and he has published hundreds of articles in top medical journals and newspapers.What is the future of the treatment of addiction? According to Dr. Lloyd Sederer, the path to saving more lives from addiction going forward will involve providing better access to the tools that we already have. We already have harm reduction strategies, including the opioid overdose rescue drug, naloxone. And, we have effective medication-assisted treatments for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder.Our understanding of the functioning of the brain is more advanced than ever before in history. A wide variety of therapies can be applied to target various regions of the brain that are affected by addiction. In addition to existing medications and therapies, there are also new medical treatments on the horizon, including the drug, psilocybin. With psilocybin, an existing, ancient form of medical therapy is being brought up to date with current medical science. Safe, synthetic forms of the drug have been studied in major research centers with promising results.Just as important as therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and contingency management, and medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, are the forming of relationships to promote abstinence and recovery.Dr. Sederer believes that, to be successful in helping people to recover from active addiction, we must meet them where they are and understand why they are using drugs or alcohol. Drugs serve a purpose for people who use them and it is important to start from there and work towards helping them find healthy replacements for drugs when they are ready.In our talk, Dr. Sederer and I discuss two of his recent books. We talk about “Ink-Stained for Life” and “The Addiction Solution.” Both books are fascinating and I highly recommend them to my audience.“Ink-Stained for Life” is a collection of fourteen stories and essays relating Dr. Sederer's early life as a child in The Bronx to his adult life and the present, in 2020. The book demonstrates the improbable nature of the path from living as a child, on the streets of New York City, to being a leader in public health in the State of New York. The book shares Dr. Sederer's philosophies on life with discussions about topics such as intelligence and genius, wealth and struggling in the middle class, Judaism and being Jewish without living as an observant Jew, living in New York City, being the leader of a world-class psychiatric hospital, working in the world of public health in New York City and New York State, addiction treatment and much more.Please visit Dr. Sederer here: https://www.askdrlloyd.com/Please visit our podcast website here: https://therehab.com/And Dr. Leeds' website here: https://drleeds.com.Thank you!

    In this episode, Stephen and I discuss many topics, from safe consumption sites to medical heroin to Dilaudid dispensing machines on the streets. Yet, the underlying theme of this podcast episode is the value of having empathy and forming relationships with people who struggle with addiction. People who inject heroin are real people who deserve a chance to recover, no matter how long it takes for them to be ready finally. British Columbia, Canada, takes harm reduction to a new level with supervised consumption sites and many other programs to help people who use drugs on the streets to stay safe and help them along the path towards recovery. These programs serve as a positive example for what other countries, such as the United States, that do not allow these advanced forms of harm reduction, could do to save many more lives from the deadly effects of opioids and other street drugs.Stephen Finlay is the manager of addiction services in the Surrey region for Lookout Housing and Health Society. Lookout is a non-profit organization that provides homeless shelters, supportive housing, subsidized housing, outreach, harm reduction, and related services throughout southern British Columbia, including Vancouver. Surrey is one of the largest cities in the Greater Vancouver area and has experienced problems arising from homelessness and drug use for many decades. As an addiction services manager, Stephen oversees an Intensive Case Management team, a supervised drug smoking site, and SafePoint, which is the second federally sanctioned supervised injection site in Canada. SafePoint opened in June 2017. Since it opened, there have been over 190,000 visits to SafePoint. The staff has reversed almost 1,500 overdoses, with no fatalities. Before joining Lookout, Stephen served as executive director of ARA Mental Health Advocacy, a small non-profit that provided advocacy services to people living with mental illness and poverty. He also has 29 years of experience in marketing, product development, and regulatory affairs at TELUS, Canada's second-largest telecommunications carrier, and four years of experience in marketing research at Procter and Gamble.

Different approaches are conflicting.

    After decades as a physician and teacher at Harvard Medical School and elsewhere, renowned academic neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander thought he knew how the brain, mind, and consciousness worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection changed all of that – completely. Memories of his life had been completely deleted, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm – more real than this earthly one! Since his 2008 NDE he has been reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. We are conscious in spite of our brain. By probing deeply into our own consciousness, we transcend the limits of the human brain, and of the physical-material realm. His story offers a crucial key to the understanding of reality and human consciousness. A pioneering scientist and thought leader in consciousness studies, Dr. Alexander has been a guest on Dr. Oz, Oprah, and many other media programs. His most recent book, Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness, (co-authored with Karen Newell) has garnered accolades from many scientists around the world who study the mind body question and the nature of consciousness. His earlier books, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife and The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, have collectively spent more than two years atop the New York Times and international bestseller lists. www.ebenalexander.comPlease visit my podcast website at https://therehab.com and my professional website at https://drleeds.com.

    In this rebroadcast of an interview between Kristin Walker and Mark Leeds, the topic of addiction to technology and online services, such as social media, is discussed at length. As large corporations put their nearly unlimited resources into finding new ways to get us hooked, we are at risk for an epidemic of massive proportions.Already, we are faced with distracted driving, which can be more dangerous in some cases than intoxicated driving. Imagine being hit on the road by a driver who couldn't wait to type LMFAO and then go back to check if it got any likes. Anyone who drives has seen those drivers with their heads down and eyes on a device, not on the road. Tech addiction and obsession has always been an issue, but the product is now being refined to the point that it has become an entirely different kind of problem.Crack cocaine was a serious issue in the 90s. Many people who tried it could not stop. Lives were destroyed by the act of going back for just one more $5 hit that would last for just a few minutes. How many lives will be destroyed in the coming decade by people who can not help going back to check email, texts and social media just one more time?Thank you to Kristin Walker for allowing me to rebroadcast this important discussion.Please visit my podcast website at https://therehab.com and my professional website at https://drleeds.com.
