Man’s Reaction to NAD Treatment for His Addiction

[@michaelilnitsky9720]

I did this therapy, super grateful I did. I Was on medication assisting programs for 8years. Yes that help me not harm myself but I was stuck dependent on something that ate at me everyday. That made me feel not ok. I tried tapering off many times only to get back on methadone or suboxone, I tried it all. Just 10 days of IV was worth it for me. I'm 10 months completely clean what I like to call. On suboxone I was clean but not completely. Im truly grateful for NAD+ IV THERAPY!. Now I can live a complete life

Hi Michael I quite benzodiazepines 10 months ago but in a mess how was the experience like and have you heard people on benzo getting better on NAd

[@JConnorJohnson]

I relate to that so much, I have been addicted to heroin and fent for 10 years. I’ve been on MAT for the last 5 years and I tapered all the way down and relapsed. I went through a treatment program and I really want to stay sober, I just can’t seem to get off the medication. I don’t feel my true happy self. Yes I’m safe, but I’m not at my full potential. How much does this cost?

[@michaelilnitsky9720]

@@Fireball1974 I been there before kicking benzos. Not this time with the NAD+ but 6 years ago. When I was there at the clinic doing my NAD+, there was a guy coming off benzos which he was on for 15 years. He seem to be doing better and when I came in he was doing NAD+ for 30 days straight, he 35 days in total. I remember him saying he couldn't sleep and still had other minor symptoms. He did have nourathapy pain at the same time tho. But from it seemed to me he got better

[@michaelilnitsky9720]

@@JConnorJohnson my story is the same as yours as to addiction, other than me doing methadone and benzos at one point ( I didn't come off those this time other than suboxone and an antidepressant). The cost is roughly $1,000 a day. I made payments of $500 a month, so you may negotiate with some clinics

[@thomasingoglia2227]

@@Fireball1974 Yes. It doesn't help as much as it helps alcohol, opiates, and amphetamines. But, I have found benzo patients to need the most help. There is some research on BPC-157 and benzo acute withdrawal. But find a doctor that specializes for medical advice. Julia Britz, ND was a friend of mine while she struggled in med school because of benzos and now specializes in this condition.

Just finished my 10 day treatment. After 11 years of severe adderall abuse I’m now 10 days clean without cravings and after day 5 minimal detox. Miracle treatment.

[@dorothyholesapple8836]

God, I hope so. I had a meth addiction for 5 years. At a year clean, I'm tired. My soul is back, but I want to be better. I want to be alive. I started NAD injections two weeks ago. Thanx for offering hope

Thank you. I am that man. It saved me when I was at my darkest depths. It's really rather incredible. But, it's still great for most regular people.

[@ChristiannTyler]

@@thomasingoglia2227 congratulations! I’m curious.. did it actually help the withdrawal symptoms? Or did it just speed up the process. I’m considering this treatment but I’m skeptical. I’ve been on prescription for years if I skip a day I’m horribly sick.. you mention it curbs the cravings but what about the actual symptoms associated with detoxing. Restless legs, nausea, anxiety, cold sweats etc ?

[@thomasingoglia2227]

@@ChristiannTyler Just a reminder: I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice. These are not approved therapies. The nonpublished research that my nonprofit has done has shown that it speeds up the process and lowers withdrawal symptoms. They amounts and ways that it does this is dependent upon the drug. For example, we would do COWS scoring for opiates. There are fewer symptoms. It does however speed up the process for some of the longer-acting opioids like methadone and suboxone. Suboxone and methadone seem to be out of your system after a long long time. Some people complain about it being around for weeks and months and seasons without the IV. A drug like hydromorphone or alcohol is in and out of your system quickly. There is not a lot of post-acute withdrawal with or without NAD. Benzos tend to have post-acute withdrawal regardless of NAD but less of it. Withdrawal, post-acute withdrawal and cravings are all different to me. Cravings are the enjoyment to a drug that you stopped using or the need to feel normal with the drug. NAD seems to help with all these in big ways. Methadone, Suboxone and Benzos still are tough addictions to kick. I remember the first client we had that came in who was already sober. He got through one of the toughest aspects of the addiction to buprenorphine. "I kicked buprenorphine, but I still do not feel normal. What if I come in and do NAD. Will I feel normal again or will I still feel dull, lifeless, and have an urge to use?" He walked away feeling normal again.

Is there a good supplement on the market? I don’t have the money to go get an infusion at some Botox center. I’m sure it’s ridiculously overpriced.

[@domenikschmitz334]

Try NIACIN (Nicotinic-Acid), it increases NAD levels. Other Options are Nicotinamide-Mono-Nucleotide, Nicotinamid-Riboside, Nicotinamide-Hydroxide, Niacinamide, Inositol-Hexa-Nicotinate and Tryptophan. In that Order. Niacin and Tryptophan are rather cheap. Try 3000 mg Nicotinic-Acid.

NAD is good for almost everything in our body.Try NMN(NAD precursor) I'm 40 and sick for 3 years. Daily sports since 8 years. Last year I could not even walk or hold a cellphone. Prognosis of 8/10 years. After NAD, I'm walking and working out. I may die in 8/10 years, but not from MSA.

Get on the suboxane shot ask your doc you can be off with No withdrawals. It only takes like one or two shots depending on how much sub film u take. Just ask your doctor about it and I promise you will have zero withdrawl

[@Jamie_Burgert]

I bought a bunch of Metformin from Mexico super cheap. You may be able to find a doctor here to prescribe it to you though. I’ve heard Berberine works just as well and it’s available over the counter. Info about Metformin: Metformin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of energy homeostasis. Activation of AMPK can lead to increased NAD+ levels by promoting the activity of enzymes involved in NAD+ biosynthesis, such as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT). Additionally, metformin may enhance mitochondrial biogenesis and function, which are processes that can also influence NAD+ levels. Info about Berberine: The activation of AMPK by berberine can lead to an increase in NAD+ levels through several mechanisms: 1. NAMPT Activation: AMPK activation can enhance the expression and activity of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), a key enzyme in the NAD+ biosynthesis pathway. 2. Improved Mitochondrial Function: Berberine may improve mitochondrial function and biogenesis, which are associated with increased NAD+ levels. 3. Reduction of NAD+ Consumption: By improving cellular metabolism and reducing oxidative stress, berberine may decrease the consumption of NAD+, thus helping to maintain higher levels.

That woman on this episode just gets to me. She has interviewed many people. She needs to work in a Detox Center. Maybe she'll get firsthand knowledge of the struggle addicts go through.

[@thomasingoglia2227]

I really wanted to speak up during the episode. I felt like interrupting during the show. I wish I did. Buprenorphine (Suboxone) has its place. I am just so glad I never started taking it.

[@t0kigh02t7]

So you have to be sober first. It won't get you through withdrawl???

Yeah, ten treatments for a total cost of $12k out of pocket cost.

[@thomasingoglia2227]

It's still very expensive. This is true. And those suffering addiction might need continued help once they leave. But, our research shows a great deal of addiction cravings go down. And most treatment centers charge much more than 12,000 for the treatment and detox. Maybe one day it will be covered by insurance.

Ibogaine operates very similarly and costs about $700 if ordered from sites like getibogaine. However, it isn't for people with certain pre-existing conditions, mostly those with heart conditions. Personally, I got off a 10-year methadone dependence with it in 3 days. It gave me my life back and I've never looked back. The happiness and inner peace I have now are priceless, truly. I can't put a price on it. It also provides a sense of deep introspection which helped me identify and heal from the root underlying causes of my addiction. Just search Ibogaine here on KZbin. There are hundreds of videos on it.
