Absolute rubbish, replacing one drug for another, it has been proven that these "NOT" doctors are not safe. Addiction is a 3 fold Disease, grow up, stop drinking and get your life together,
I wish I knew this, my husband died at age 50. I am so.glad to find it, and I finally had a Dr offer it, before the appt started I was going to ask about it... it has helped! I am a daily wine drinker, over 30 years nearly. I.went to treatment after husband did, however I relapsed, he passed, and here I am. 8 years later, and have started Nal about 3 months ago. I can confirm that I also have the habits!! It's less tasty, and yet, I get busy mindlessly drinking, and well.... you could imagine! Habits. Loosing mindfulness. I have had Dr's be very discouraging and like... judgmental... shame makes us hide. Uggg So glad for this!! I am working on paying better attention. I'm tired of the fatigue...❤ thank you!!!
The medication itself is not curative, all it does is trigger the brains natural built in process of un-learning damaging or no longer beneficial behaviour - this is called "extinction". The medication has to be paired with active drinking in order to trigger the process of extinction.
"The biology of addiction has been fixed . . . more or less returning the brain to it's pre-addicted state." Great thought. Understanding the science behind what's addictive and what's not is very helpful. There's so much misinformation out there.
there is no pre-addictive state for alcoholics. I didn't catch it from a bottle, it pre-existed . It can be used to break the cycle for problem drinkers but it won't work for alcoholism, no chemical can touch the will and thats where alcoholism resides, in the will. Thats why its called a spiritual illness, its of the MIND, not of the brain. Put simply, if this was a cure it would have won the nobel prize easy.
Once in a while we stumble upon a hidden gem - one that is so valuable that it seems unethical to keep it hidden. TSM is a lifesaver and people need to be aware of it. Thank you for sharing this message so people can share it with others.
I was in awe...in awe! of my very first experience with naltrexone and alcohol. My initial experience was exactly the same as many others on TSM -- left my beer and vodka on the table and I NEVER left any ever before, ever. This was before I had even heard of TSM, but it was so phenomenal an experience it led me to discover this method. I was indeed prescribed it for AUD.
Thanks so much Katie,this was fantastic. You were just a bit ahead of me on TSM. I'm now coming up to two years extinct. I'm spreading the word. So wonderful to listen to Roy and get it straight from the horse's mouth. What a lovely man.
that is so wonderful to hear, really glad you've had success as well. If I can help tell you story at all please let me know! I'd be happy to post a blog on my website or a video here on RUclips :)
Excellent point near the end of this talk - bias against people who use naltrexone. I was turned down for a Medicare supplement because I'd had a prescription within two years.
At 22:40 Dr. Eskapa speaks about the 20% who don't benefit. Without the benefit of taking a drug I had already lost the euphoria that came to me by drinking. But when my life was in crisis, drinking provided relief.
Thanks so much for your work, Katie! You’re literally a life saviour! I wanted to ask one thing and I think you asked the same thing to the doctor but his answer wasn’t quite clear. Is there a benefit to “making oneself” take naltrexone everyday, by which I mean, would taking naltrexone and drinking even a little but everyday speed up the extinction process? Or is it better to wait for those days when one wants to drink?
Took 25mg of Naltrexone 4.5 hours ago for the first time. Felt a little dizzy but no big deal. 90 minutes later had a beer. 30 minutes after that was was feeling really drowsy and not able to think clearly, and alarmed that Naltrexone would not work for me with such a severe side effect. Started googling Naltrexone side effects about drowsiness and if that would go away in a few weeks. Took me a few minutes to realize the drowsiness was from the BOOZE, not not the Naltrexone. The effect of alcohol is just not the same. The nervous system depressant effects are still there, and are somewhat pleasant to a point, but the euphoric buzz I'd chased for decades is very muted. I could sense my brain being confused by having one effect without the other. Yeah I can see how this might work for me. I still had 4 drinks. But I didn't want any more. The previous 3 months I'd averaged about 8 drinks a night.
Dr. Eskapa, in this interview, you had mentioned that some people benefit from 75 mg of naltrexone instead of 50 mg. I believe you also mentioned the idea of redosing if your original dosage was early in the day and too much time had elapsed (naltrexone, having a half-life of only four hours). I agree with both ideas; however, I get the impression that a lot of physicians are uncomfortable recommending 75 mg of naltrexone, and/or redosing in the same day. The reason I’ve heard cited for these concerns is due to potential harm to the liver. I heard you mention that the maximum safe daily dosage is up to 300 mg per day. Do you have a source for this? If so, it would be extremely helpful. I am concerned that my physician will push back toward me if I bring up the idea of 75 mg and/or redosing in the same day. I would like to be armed with some data with respect to the safety of up to 300 mg per day.
Thank you for this wonderful program. I live in the DC area and I’m afflicted with marijuana. My mom got me to take Naltrexone. I was wondering if anyone knew about any support groups in the D.C. Silver Spring area.
Hello sir...could you please give me the name of the tabets properly...my english is poor dt understand well...please help me i really really need help...thank you
Great interview! A little distracted by what appears to be some photoshopping of Dr Escapa against a set background. Much appreciated altogether, however!
Dosing up to 3 times a day, a drug which will eventually be found to have had other side effects on some other part of your body. I've met so many who had severe side effects from using this drug afyer several years, it's actually extremely dangerous.
If Naltrexone SE are an issue for you (most have none), start with 25mg for a week or so (with food and water). Once you get used to the med, bump up to 50mg asap to get the maximum blocking effect. 25mg might do it for people with very small frames, but not likely ... 50 mg is the proven average dosage for the highest efficacy.
The medication has to be used in the correct target dosage regime of TSM, in order for it to be effective. Talking the medication daily, regardless of whether you drink or not is a very ineffective way of using the medication. In clinical trials, this was worse than a placebo pill.
@@stevecooper6515 The medicine is FDA-approved for nightly use based on clinical trials so I’m not sure which clinical trials you’re referring to. I personally found that nightly use was effective for me
Alcoholic's Anonymous ~ Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. Chronic late stage Alcoholic ~Working the program of AA ~I have been sober for 25 years
AA does nothing to treat the neurological cause of Alcohol Use Disorder. Abstinence actually makes cravings worse, due to the Alcohol Deprivation Effect. AA "works" for those who it works for, which is approx. 5-8%. The Sinclair Method has a clinically proven success rate of 78% - no contest. It's NOT the 1930's anymore and the neuroscience of addiction has moved on immeasurably. Alcohol Use Disorder today, is completely treatable and curable.

This drug is miraculous really , how this all came about, just amazing

Amen! So grateful for TSM!
Katie: thank you so much for all your work to spread the word on TSM!!
Glad it helps 🙏
Excellent!!! I’m so grateful for the Sinclair method and naltrexone❤️
Me too!!
Awesome! Thank you Dr Eskapa and Katie!
I can’t wait to be a success story. I ordered naltrexone from India. I will start it soon!
I was in awe...in awe! of my very first experience with naltrexone and alcohol.

Please don't obtain Naltrexone without a prescription from unscrupulous websites online. You quite literally don't know what you're actually buying.
The most interesting interview I have ever heard about the subject !
Thanks so much Katie,this was fantastic. You were just a bit ahead of me on TSM. I'm now coming up to two years extinct. I'm spreading the word.
So wonderful to listen to Roy and get it straight from the horse's mouth. What a lovely man.

Bravo cattenborrow !
I am about to start Naltrexone very soon. I am very much looking forward to doing this.
Good luck!!!
My tablets just arrived❤
How are you doing on the Sinclair method now, 6 months later? Did it work?
Excellent point near the end of this talk - bias against people who use naltrexone. I was turned down for a Medicare supplement because I'd had a prescription within two years.
Great interview!! Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
High value interview ! High value doctor ! Thank you !
Got me a bit to get used with the fake background and the wild hair though 😋

I don't know, but look on facebook perhaps for groups?
Hi there, I've been a long time viewer of all your stuff. Thx so much!
Can you recommend a tella health doctor that I could zoom with?
Luke Trumble Ive heard you can go to the Rhea health website to search for a doc near you.
I am currently do TSM with Riahealth.com and I've had a very positive experience. They offer much more then just the pill.
Hey Luke! Yes Ria Health is a great option riahealth.com/. You can also visit other telehealth doctors here cthreefoundation.org/telemedicine
Hello sir...could you please give me the name of the tabets properly...my english is poor dt understand well...please help me i really really need help...thank you
naltrexone or nalmefene in the UK
Great interview! A little distracted by what appears to be some photoshopping of Dr Escapa against a set background. Much appreciated altogether, however!
Is that a green screen behind him? How is C-section "humane"?
Dosing up to 3 times a day, a drug which will eventually be found to have had other side effects on some other part of your body. I've met so many who had severe side effects from using this drug afyer several years, it's actually extremely dangerous.
Is TSM working with half the Dosis?
Can nausea, the initially potential side effect, be reduced or prevented by metoclopramide or dimenhydrinate?
If Naltrexone SE are an issue for you (most have none), start with 25mg for a week or so (with food and water). Once you get used to the med, bump up to 50mg asap to get the maximum blocking effect. 25mg might do it for people with very small frames, but not likely ... 50 mg is the proven average dosage for the highest efficacy.
@@Michael-tr7uq thank you very much for your response.

Has anyone had success taking it everyday instead of just one hour before drinking? My side effects are bad so I take it before bed.
glad you figured this out (saw your other comment) :)
