Addiction- any form
I researched theory behind Addiction. How body is getting addicted to many substance like, Alcohol intake, smoking cigarette, etc.,
Today’s science says on addiction is, “People typically drink alcohol to induce euphoria or reduce anxiety, and they frequently drink in social settings, yet the effect of alcohol on human brain circuits involved in reward and emotion has been explored only sparingly”.
Present day theory is inadequate with respect to carving for the substance and various after effects of extremities twitching / tremors.
Theory behind it:
Neurotransmitters are neuro modulatory molecules that plays several important complex roles in neuromuscular cells through synapses. Whole neuro systems are controlled by two branches viz., Excitatory and Inhibitory. As the name suggest one stimulates and other suppress the resultant action potential.
My research points to Inhibitory neuro transmitters deficiency which is the prime cause for carving, extremities twitching / tremors, headache, etc.,
The inhibitory neuro transmitters such as dopamine, GABA plays vital role in this. Alcohol, nicotine etc., mimics these inhibitory neuro transmitters and plugs in to that socket eliminating the neuro transmitters. Later these molecules are washed out naturally by the body and excreted by kidneys, there is serious deficiency of inhibitory neuro transmitters. When the inhibitory transmitter is weak, (deficiency leads to hyperexcitability of neurons and) there will be stray muscular stimulation (twitching / tremors) when that particular muscle is resting. Because of weak inhibitory transmitter it leads to continuous muscle stiffness and thereby pain due to continuous contraction.
Remedy:
Dopamine and GABA is available as drugs. Also good herbal drugs are available whose efficacy is very good. By titrating dopamine / GABA level correctly the addiction can be nicely managed. Patients will not feel carving.
Remarks:
I can provide a detailed research paper on enquiry. I welcome you to work with me to validate this theory acceptable and workable practically. As you know this have many valuable beneficial applications for long term health of patients.
