Addiction Research Still Seeking Validation
For decades now the scientific community has been trying to pin a label on addiction, saying that it is a family disease passed on through genes causing a neurological disorder. Today, that research continues after hundreds of millions of dollars have failed to prove the theory, which is largely backed by the fields of pharmacology and psychiatry that continue to reap the financial rewards regardless of results. In announcements for new funding opportunities for research earlier this month, the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) says that “Scientists believe the disorders arise from multiple genes exerting small effects, gene-by-gene interactions, gene-by-environment interactions, and a host of environmental factors and risk behaviors. However, there has been limited success in reliably identifying specific susceptibility genes for drug abuse,” and “…the genetic variants underlying increased susceptibility to this disease are unknown.” This is merely a continuation of a pattern of unproven theories designed to make drug addiction into some complex disease that justifies the inadequacies of mainstream addiction treatment. The fact is that if you read any of the studies regarding addiction as a disease or some neurological disorder, the findings always use words like may or suggest, but never conclusively prove anything. It is a scam pulling the wool over the eyes of Americans that continues to subdue society under the latest anti-depressant or anti-psychotic drug and raise the cost of healthcare and insurance.
