A Cure Opiate/Heroine Addiction

God Bless our Medical and Science endeavors
The miracle of Medicine and Science have now officially, since the U.S FDA has given the safe approval for a new medication developed, bupenorphine, which is a cure for Opiate/Heroine addiction, yes, a cure. Millions of people who have been struck with this disease around the world can now break the chains of enslavement, live a life without pain, misery, depression, jail, and sometimes even death.
Opiate addiction has plagued human kind for centuries, caused wars (see The China Opium wars), destroyed millions of lives, and has been creating the financial sustenance for Rogue Nations, Militants and even Terrorist Organization around The World.
Bupenorphine is a new medication similar to Opiate and Opiod medications, however, it has absolutely no sociological effects, no intoxicating effects, is 100% non-addictive, and is an effective pain medication. To good to be true? That's the miracle of Medicine and Science; this medication is a scheduled 5 by the DEA, that's how safe Bupenorphine is. Considering how toxic Ibuprofen is to the liver, this may well be even safer.
With Opiate addiction, it can take the brain between six months to six years for the biochemistry to return to normal, hence the large failures for millions of people to survive this disease. Bupenorphine eliminates about 96% of these symptoms, now those people who truly want to live a healthy clean life can now have the reality of exactly that without years of pain and depression. This is new here in the United States, but the coming impact of this is going to be profound and glorious. The work has now turned for familiar developments for Meth and Cocaine (crack). In addition, the beautiful thing is that this will happen without jails or wars. The world demand for opium products will now plummet for the demand will cease tenfold, resulting in Poppy plantations to simply fade out. It is not evident now, but this will be similar to a cure for cancer, aids, or even as small pox was.
Since Bupenorphine has no intoxicating effects, addicts will take this only to not feel the severe effects of withdrawal, and the amazing thing is that after months, sometimes years of treatment, interest is lost in taking the medication, since there is no intoxicating effect, and after time being no benefit because ones biochemistry is working properly, a realization sets in that the medication is benign, and since the mind is not suffering without it nor benefiting from it, it is natural for one to stop taking the medication. The use of this medication has actually gone down then stopped naturally with patients who have been lucky enough to receive this medication 2 years ago. For people who have to live with chronic pain for the rest of their lives, or those how have serious chronic pain for awhile, can now take an effective medication without suffering intoxicating effects, and chancing the possibility of contracting the tormenting addiction of Opiates and even Heroine.
If it is needed for Opiate addiction, the DEA does require Bupenorphine to be scheduled 3. It is available in Portland. Ask your doctor, the Oregon Medical association, or even search the Internet. If you suffer, or know anybody who suffers from the terrible and agonizing disease, please retrieve the info on Bupenorphine and provide it to him or her. Then also do whatever you can to get them treatment, you will be saving your or their life. This is nothing like methadone, bupenorphine is a CURE!

Ibogaine has been around a lot longer and is still virtually illegal here, it does the same but better, ANY addiction is cured because it disrupts the receptors responsible for addiction. Tabernathe iboga, west africa, bwiti tribe, the cia buried it back in the 50's (janet reno got in a scandal over it because she helped hide it) because the cia had plans for selective depop way back then, and ibogaine was a major problem, just like pot is---alcohol fuels law enforcement industry--- potheads are not violent, this does not fit the mold, square peg round hole kind of thing...alcohol legal and VERY available, pot illegal even as medicine....this govt is not american anymore, they are fascist representatives of a banking cartel and need to be taken out...visit www.cures-not-wars.org and wake the heck up bunkly.

No Such Thing As A Cure 22.Jan.2006 20:27

There is no such thing as a cure for heroin addiction or other addictions. Magic pills are magic pills. Worthless in the long run. The "physical effects" of addiction can be cured but the psychological effects, which accounts for 80% of the addiction, can only be controlled. Ask anyone whose been there.

I think that's how DuPont used to advertise itself -- until LSD came along and that somehow embarrassed DuPont, I guess because LSD was a Sandoz discovery?

Ibogaine, Bupenorphine, opiates, heroine, torment, magic pills, and 80% psychology.

What's puzzling is this one thing: Bupenorphine is scheduled 5 BUT "if it is needed for Opiate addiction, the DEA does require Bupenorphine to be scheduled 3."

Sort of like Alice and the Queen -- words mean what the Queen says they mean and the Queen, of course, can change her mind at any time.

It's like a nasty-rasty old U.S. Army sergeant used to say, wanting to mix it up whenever meeting up with British troops: "Fuck the Queen!"

I know how you feel, and its justified, but I speak from experience, Ibogaine does work, I did the same with a synthetic mescaline, but one has to travel outside the US to receive Ibogaine treatment, of course this will not cure ones feeling who does not care and wants to want to get high, but for those who are enslaved with long term withdrawal, and don't want to be intoxicated with the worry of the false empowerment opiate use gives, and looking to be as others in society without heath and LEAGAL problems, sometimes lasting years, this is a miracle. This scenario plagues millions. Magic "pill"? How about the magic "pill" that allows AIDS patients to survive? How about the magic of Penicillin? How about the magic of heart transplants? Medicine is "magic", how about the "magic" of cancer treatments, science is much more effective than trying to fight with your doppelganger. Have faith in science and medicine.

I dealt with this for over 17 years; I feel so passionately because when I achieve something I want it for the whole of us all. Ibogain, Mescaline (which you can get here in the states, if not synthetic, then go to Arizona and beg the natives for Peyote) do work at the receptor level, but what has occurred is the same benefit without being on an acid trip for sometimes days, is it that hard to believe? The US Medical Association has finally concluded that this disease effects people from all occupations, and have now spent time and resources on this disease as needed. For over five years now I have been desperately trying to get LSD, Mescaline, or even tried picking my own liberty caps to help me the same, unfortunately LSD seems to be unavailable, Mescaline is to expensive for a rogue labs to make as compared with ecstasy, and the weather has destroyed my October November shroom season which I happily used the bounty of for over 10 years. I have split the hairs on this. Regardless of all my endeavors, I cannot compare with Medicine which has more knowledge, resources, and experienced people. Please do not brush this aside, for in the upcoming years this will be routine. You need not suffer until then. Just look into it. That is all I ask. I have known about this since 1999, but was frustrated with the FDA's slow response to making it available for people who wanted to better their live and spend time pondering other things of the mind which are much more rewarding, maybe Quantum Physics, snowboarding, helping the community, POLICE ACCOUNTABLITY, or what ever your heart desires with being enslaved. Please just study it and make your own conclusion. I say this for love of ye all.

Misinformation 30.Nov.2006 17:02

Concerned

What I think people should realize is that not everyone responds to bupenorphine. People who have had a long history of extensive drug abuse with a large daily habit often due not respond to this medication. Additionally, it has also been shown that there is a ceiling effect. Once a patient receives a dose upwards of 30 mg and is still experienceing cravings and withdrawl symptoms it is most likely that they are not going to respond to this medication therapy. In addition, retention rates for people taking bupenorphine are often 10% lower than those who receive methadone treatment. There is no magic pill or cure for opiate addiction. Once a person is addicted to narcotics it becomes a medical problem. Addicts need to receive counseling and medication therapy that is appropriate for the individual.
