It always fascinates how something our limited minds perceive as "bad" (addiction - addictive cravings) can turn out to be nothing more than a survival mechanism. The more we know, the less we understand.

I wonder if there is a "natural" version of Naloxone. If there is, it would limit the exorbitant pharm profits.

Interesting links Geoffrey. Thanks.

Addiction seems like it has become a throw-away word. Everything gets turned into an addiction. The biggest addiction seems to be the drug oxygen. We are all addicted to oxygen. Just look at the withdrawal symptoms when we run out of our oxygen fix.
