(“When a person uses drugs or alcohol,
it results in endorphins (hormones of happiness)
synthesis disorder,” - narcologist Marina Chukhrova,
PhD (Med) says. “Synthesis of one’s own endorphins
has disappeared, while the receptors themselves are
still waiting for… As a consequence of this,
physical and mental discomfort appears, and a person
starts seeking means for feeling happy and satisfied
as before, and drugs and alcohol become so in the
long run.
In the opinion of Novosibirsk researchers, after a
deeply depressed drunkard, or drug addict has been
severely flagellated and his endorphin receptors
have been activated, endorphins are ejected, and
that person begins to enjoy life as before.
“Alcohol dependence is easier to heal,” - clinical
psychologist Herman Pilipenko says. “Drunkards are
most commonly the really experienced adults. Some
time ago, they had their own families, jobs,
something more… They’re really interested in turning
back the clock…5 to 10 procedures are enough for the
drunkards. Drug addicts are much more difficult to
deal with. Drug addicts may go to procedures for six
months. As a rule, drug addicts are young enough.
Their life style has not formed yet, and they’ve got
clock to turn back. They have retreated in their
nirvana, having nothing to remember in the past. Yes,
they’ve been teenagers, and they’ve been unhappy,
and confused… And that’s all. For this reason, it
takes much more time to work with them.
The frequency of flogging procedures is never
previously discussed, as a patient is free to come
back again as soon as he starts feeling being drawn
towards alcohol or drugs again. One’s own endorphins,
i.e. so called “hormones of happiness”, generated
after the algetic therapy, are usually enough for
about a week, or ten days.”) |
