 Why are combined medicines more effective?

Whether it is due to genes, to shocks, to diet, to toxins or to any combination of these things, many people’s brain doesn’t produce the full balanced mix of chemicals that are needed to give them normal feelings and a normal ability to function or perform.

If your body was sick due to malnutrition you wouldn’t try to fix it with only one food, for example, a kilo of carrots or a dozen eggs every day. You would take a balanced mix of small amounts of many different foods, including fruit and vegetables, cereals, dairy foods, seafood, animal proteins, vitamins and minerals, to replace all of the chemical deficiencies that were making your body sick.

Multiple brain chemistry disturbances are often inherited or caused by life traumas, which lead to multiple psychological conditions. So one medication usually won’t solve the problem, especially if your disorders are moderate to severe and the one medication you are given is a Benzo, which in these cases usually soon leads to benzo tolerance. Then any improvement you feel with each dose is soon more due to relieving the benzo withdrawals than to relieving your disorders.

If you have sleep disorder, you very often also have anxiety or depression. If you have adult ADD and an associated addiction, you often also have bipolar disorder, anxiety or depression. If you have post traumatic stress disorder, you will often have anxiety, depression, sleep disorder and possibly some dissociation. Two or three medications will probably be needed to fix all of these disorders and you won’t feel completely better or function completely normally until all of the underlying disorders are fixed.

Almost always when only one moderate to severe mental disorder is diagnosed there are others which have been missed and remain undiagnosed. If one part of your brain isn’t working well, other parts usually won’t be working well either.

It is therefore usually better to take small amounts of 3 or 4 medications that help the brain, while continuing to look for any other disorders. This is especially true for moderately or severely distressed people, because the mixture of medications will give much quicker relief and improvement, while greatly reducing the chances of tolerance and addiction.


Naltrexone Medications
Naltrexone has been known to be an excellent opiate and alcohol blocker for over 25 years. It was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1984, and is used worldwide as an opiate and alcohol blocking medication.

Unfortunately Naltrexone has previously only been available in 50mgm tablet size, which costs too much, is usually too strong, and often has nasty side effects. A 50 mgm dose of Naltrexone blocks your endorphins for 24 hours and this can make you very anxious or hyper and may stop you from sleeping. Naltrexone implants give a lower dose than 50 mgms but cannot easily be adjusted to the widely different doses that different people need and they contain no calming, sleep or antidepressant medications. They leave lumps for many years where they are implanted so that anyone who feels them may guess that you have been an addict.

The new MicroNaltrexone Plus tablets, which contain only 1 mgm of Naltrexone, and the NaltrexoLite Plus tablets, which contain only 4 ½ mgms of Naltrexone, have now solved the problems of the 50mgm tablets. The 4 ½ mgm Naltrexone tablets usually effectively block cravings for opiates and alcohol for 24 hours, although they only block your endorphins for 3 or 4 hours. When their endorphin-blocking effect wears off there is a rebound doubling or tripling of your endorphin production. This endorphin boost makes you stronger and healthier and you feel better for many hours.

However, about 1 person in 20 will still need 9 to 25 mgms of Naltrexone per day to block their craving for opiates in the early stages of treatment. This may temporarily lead to distressing endorphin suppression symptoms which can be difficult to manage. Special attention to managing associated disorders such as sleep disorder, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders may be needed if the endorphin suppression temporarily makes those disorders worse.

NaltrexoLite Plus
Within 2 hours, 1 NaltrexoLite Plus tablet will drop your cravings for alcohol by around 70% to 90%.

NaltrexoLite Plus will also quickly reduce the immediate effects of alcohol and start to ease underlying causes of alcohol dependence, such as poor sleep, anxiety, depression, irritability, anger, hypomania, or post traumatic stress disorder.

Step 1
There is no need for any preparation before you commence NaltrexoLite Plus. You don’t necessarily need to have abstained from alcohol. Just take ½ or 1 NaltrexoLite Plus tablet. However you must not take NaltrexoLite Plus for at least 4 days after using opiates such as heroin, morphine or homebake.
 
You start by taking ½ a NaltrexoLite Plus Day tablet or ½ a NaltrexoLite Plus Night tablet, depending on the time of day. If after an hour the situation is not coming under control, you then take the second half of the tablet.

Step 2
Four to 12 hours later, as and when needed, you take another ½ or 1 NaltrexoLite Plus Day or Night tablet. You then continue to take as needed, ¼ or ½ or 1 or 2 or 3 NaltrexoLite Plus Day and/or Night tablets each 24 hours, until you feel safe.

If you do drink alcohol soon after NaltrexoLite Plus it won’t harm you but it will be a waste of money and time. The Naltrexone blocks the alcohol from getting to your brain’s nerve endings or receptors, so the alcohol will have little or no effect.

The tablets contain medicines that calm and strengthen you and the night tablets help you to sleep. This treatment is not all take and no give, like going “cold turkey”, and is therefore far more successful. In fact, it is nearly always very successful.

Step 3
When you are feeling much better and are safely under control, you gradually reduce your NaltrexoLite Plus. After the first 1 to 3 months most people remain happy, stable and in control on a maintenance dose of ½ or 1 or 2 night or day tablets per 24 hours. A few people need up to 3 or 4 tablets per day to begin with, but can usually then gradually reduce their dose to 1 or 2 tablets per day.

Early success is almost 100%. The commonest cause of relapse is trying to get off NaltrexoLite Plus too soon because of overconfidence and before the underlying causes have been diagnosed and corrected.

How do I get NaltrexoLite Plus?

NaltrexoLite Plus is not yet commercially mass marketed, although we are in the process of getting approvals to do this. In the meantime it is legal for you to get NaltrexoLite Plus made up by a local compounding pharmacist with a prescription from your local doctor or visit the Family NeuroHealth Centre to purchase this medication directly.

Relapse Prevention
When you think you have beaten alcohol, including having discovered and corrected or healed your underlying causes you gradually wean off NaltrexoLite Plus. This is usually after at least 12 to 18 months on ½ or 1 NaltrexoLite Plus tablet per night.

BUT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CARRY A FEW TABLETS OF NALTREXOLITE PLUS IN YOUR WALLET OR PURSE, WRAPPED IN FOIL OR GLADWRAP, WHEREVER YOU GO – ALWAYS. Then if you are ever tempted to abuse alcohol again (usually as the result of some stressful event or from meeting old drinking acquaintances) you immediately take one of the NaltrexoLite Plus tablets you are carrying with you, and this makes you safe again for 24 hours.

If you do ever relapse, try to think and act positively even if you feel very distressed, disappointed or guilty. As soon as possible get back onto NaltrexoLite Plus. The important thing is to get back up again quickly, and as often as it takes, to finally beat alcohol. Don’t waste time on disappointment or guilt – just concentrate on getting back on the NaltrexoLite as quickly as possible.

If you do relapse always carefully review which of your underlying causes should have had more attention to make you safer. Also ask yourself, “Did I stop the NaltrexoLite too soon because I was overconfident, or because I didn’t arrange for a continued supply of the medication?” “Was there a trigger factor, or a stress, or a particular situation that I need to watch for and avoid in the future?” “Did I forget to carry a few NaltrexoLite Plus tablets with me so that I was unable to take one as soon as I saw the problem coming?”
 
Warning

Don’t take NaltrexoLite Plus if you have had heroin, morphine, homebake, oxycontin or other opiates in the previous 4 days as the Naltrexone may cause rapid detox symptoms. NaltrexoLite Plus never causes rapid detox symptoms with alcohol.

If you are unsure about exactly when you last took opiates then wash your hands, crush up a NaltrexoLite Plus tablet or pull a NaltrexoLite Plus capsule apart and pour the powder onto a saucer, dip a finger tip into the powder and then lick the powder off your fingertip. Do this every 10 or 15 minutes and if you start to feel opiate withdrawal symptoms stop for a few hours, then start again. When you have taken a whole NaltrexoLite Plus in this way you can safely go on to the usual 1 to 3 NaltrexoLite Plus per day and this will solve your opiate problem as well as the alcohol problem.

As with all medicines, a few people will have adverse reactions to NaltrexoLite Plus. A few people will find they have to take very small doses to begin with because of temporary side effects, but will then be able to increase up to normal doses. A few will be able to take the NaltrexoLite Plus Daytime, but not the NaltrexoLite Plus Nighttime and some will be able to take the Nighttime but not the Daytime NaltrexoLite Plus. They should simply take more of whichever one suits them best and less or none of the one that doesn’t suit them. A small number of people will need much higher doses than the average person and this is something that sometimes happens with all brain medications – a few people will need only a tenth as much as usual and some people will need ten times as much as usual. These medications are not addictive and it is safe to take whatever you need to do the job.

There is reduced danger in drinking alcohol when you are on NaltrexoLite Plus – you just won’t enjoy it and it won’t have much effect on you. Still being able to drink occasionally, as long as you have taken your NaltrexoLite Plus beforehand, may save you some embarrassment in special social situations. However any person who has ever suffered from “near death” alcoholism should never again have even 1 drink, even under the protective cover of Naltrexone.


MicroNaltrexone Plus
Block your cravings for opiates instantly and effectively with MicroNaltrexone Plus tablets

Instructions

Step 1
To detox off opiates, stop your opiate intake and wait till withdrawal symptoms are mildly to moderately strong. Then take a MicroNaltrexone Plus tablet or capsule. This will drop your withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opiates by around 80 or 90% within 30 to 60 minutes. MicroNaltrexone Plus will also help you to sleep and will calm any anxiety during the detox period. It is dangerous to drive when you are detoxing and taking this medication.

Step 2
You will then need to take 1 MicroNaltrexone Plus tablet or capsule every 3 to 6 hours for up to 3 days and 3 nights – usually about 15 tablets. If you are a very large person or have had a very high opiate intake you may need to take the MicroNaltrexone Plus tablets or capsules more often for the first 12 hours. If you are a small person or have only had a mild opiate habit you may only need ½ a tablet every 4 hours or only 1 tablet every 6 hours.
 
Step 3
When you have taken 15 MicroNaltrexone Plus tablets or capsules, wait approximately 4 to 8 hours then take ½ a NaltrexoLite Plus Day tablet or ½ a NaltrexoLite Plus Night tablet, depending on the time of day. If after 2 hours you are feeling comfortable then take the second half of the tablet. You then continue to take as needed and tolerated, ¼ or ½ or 1 or 2 or 3 NaltrexoLite Plus Day and/or Night tablets each 24 hours, whatever is sufficient to keep you from craving for opiates.

If you do then use opiates it will be a waste of money and time. The Naltrexone blocks the opiates from getting to your brain’s nerve endings or receptors, so the opiates will have no effect.

The “Plus” part of the tablets contains medicines that calm and strengthen you and the Night tablets help you to sleep, so this treatment is not all take and no give, like going cold turkey. It is therefore a far easier program to stay on and is much more likely to succeed.

MicroNaltrexone Plus and NaltrexoLite Plus tablets are not yet commercially mass marketed, although we are in the process of getting approvals to do this. In the meantime it is legal for you to get MicroNaltrexone Plus and NaltrexoLite Plus prescribed by your doctor and made up by a local Compounding Pharmacist.

When we are allowed to mass produce MicroNaltrexone Plus and NaltrexoLite Plus it will come in tablet form with score marks to make it easy to break into halves so you can fine tune your dose. Compounding Pharmacists can usually only make up 100 at a time and that is in capsule form, which makes it much more expensive and more difficult to adjust the dose. However you can pull a capsule apart and sprinkle the powder in it onto a plate, then lick your finger and dip it into the powder and put it on your tongue, until you have taken ¼ or ½ of the powder.
 
Step 4
When you are feeling much better and are safely under control, you gradually reduce your NaltrexoLite Plus. After the first few months most people remain happy, stable and in control on a maintenance dose of 1 Night or Day tablet or capsule per 24 hours. The few people who needed up to 3 or 4 tablets or capsules per day to begin with can usually gradually reduce their dose to 2 tablets per day. A morning tablet has the advantage of minimising the risk of relapse during the day. An evening tablet has the advantage of improving sleep and also evening is the best time if Endorphin boosting is desired. High risk people need to take 1 morning and 1 evening tablet for at least 6 to 12 months and can then usually choose to continue either the day or the evening tablet – whichever seems to suit them best.

Relapse Prevention
Early success is usually close to 100%. The commonest cause of relapse is trying to get off NaltrexoLite Plus too soon because of overconfidence and before the Underlying Causes of the Opiate Addiction have been discovered and corrected. Also many people stop too early because of the cost of the NaltrexoLite, even though the cost of this medicine is nothing compared to the cost of the opiates and the other costs of relapsing. When you think you have “Beaten Heroin”, including having corrected or healed your Underlying Causes, and preferably after at least 12 to 18 months on ½ or 1 NaltrexoLite Plus Nighttime tablet per night, you gradually wean off NaltrexoLite Plus.

BUT YOU ALWAYS CARRY A FEW TABLETS of NALTREXOLITE PLUS IN YOUR WALLET OR PURSE, (WRAPPED IN FOIL OR GLADWRAP), WHEREVER YOU GO – ALWAYS.

Then if you are ever tempted to use opiates again (usually as the result of some stressful event or from meeting old acquaintances who are users or pushers) you immediately take one of the NaltrexoLite Plus tablets you are carrying in your wallet or purse, and this makes you safe again for 24 hours, giving you time to get away from the problem or back on the program.

If you are ever tempted to use opiates again REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL HAVE LOST YOUR TOLERANCE TO OPIATES WHILE YOU HAVE BEEN CLEAN on NaltrexoLite SO YOU WILL BE IN DANGER OF OVERDOSING if you relapse.

If you do ever relapse, try to think and act positively, even if you are very distressed, disappointed or ashamed. As soon as possible get back onto MicroNaltrexone Plus then NaltrexoLite Plus. The sooner you get back onto NaltrexoLite Plus again the less financial and relationship damage the relapse will do, the less risk you will expose yourself to, and the quicker you will be well and comfortable again. Great things in life are often not achieved at the first try. The important thing is to get back up again quickly, and as often as it takes, to finally Beat Opiates.

If you do relapse then as soon as you are well again always carefully review which of your underlying causes should have had more attention to make you safer. Ask yourself, “Did I stop the NaltrexoLite too soon because I was overconfident, or because I didn’t arrange for a continued supply of NaltrexoLite, or because I didn’t fully realise how much more costly relapsing is than taking NaltrexoLite?” “Was there a trigger factor, or a stress, or a particular situation that I need to watch for and avoid in the future?” “Did I forget to carry a few NaltrexoLite Plus tablets with me so that I was unable to take one as soon as I saw the problem coming?” “Do I need more Counselling, or more EEG Biofeedback, or more tranquillizer, antidepressant, mood stabiliser or other medicine?” “Should I visit my Doctor or my Counsellor more often?” “Should I go to NA meetings more often?”

Benefits of MicroNaltrexone Plus and NaltrexoLitePlus for treating opiate addiction
•    Easier to take correctly and manage, making them safer and more effective than ordinary medications for some patients.
•    More affordable.
•    A tailored delivery and payment systems that meets the needs of cash strapped people with multiple mental health issues or addictions.
•    Contains no S8 addictive or dangerous medicines such as Methadone, Buprenorphine, Suboxone, Dexamphatamine or Ritalin.

MicroNaltrexone Plus and NaltrexoLitePlus do not require bureaucratic supervision or control and can therefore be supplied immediately, as soon as addiction patients come for help. This prevents much suffering for people who are often hurting so badly that the usual delays caused by bureaucratic approval processes prove too much for them. They often can’t wait and they go back to self medication with street drugs.

This immediate help and relief reduces relapse, stealing, fraud, burglary, violence, family breakdowns and imprisonment. It saves great cost to families and neighbourhoods, to the people who pay the taxes needed to finance the police, the courts and the prisons. Eventually these savings should allow greater focussing of resources on prevention. Our families and communities will then become better places to be rather than more troubled, dangerous and unpleasant places to be.


BenzoPlus
BenzoPlus contains the following medications in different combinations for day and night.

1.    The less addictive benzodiazepine Oxazepam (a night time sleeper) and Diazepam (a day time tranquilliser). These are very low cost and tolerance are unlikely to develop when they are taken in the normal doses contained in BenzoPlus.
2.    SNRI medications, which are also low cost and for which your brain is extremely unlikely to develop a tolerance or an addiction. Although they are called “antidepressants” this is a very misleading title as SNRI’s are also helpful for anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, insomnia, ADD, low self esteem, low self confidence, trauma, chronic pain and some eating disorders. These medications work by boosting serotonin, noradrenalin and dopamine production in the brain.
3.    The major tranquillisers Quetiapine or Pericyazine in small, affordable amounts. When combined with benzos and SNRI’s, these are effective for more serious problems including panic attacks, social phobia, general anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations and delusions.
4.    When necessary the anticonvulsant, mood stabilising Lamotrigine, Sodium Valproate or Carbamazepine, which are good value for money and don’t lead to tolerance or addiction. They are very helpful for people who are irritable, angry, violent, or hypomanic, as well as for epilepsy. However, a patient should only be on Lamotrigine and Sodium Valproate together for a very short period.

Even though only small amounts of each medication are present, these combination medications are very likely to correct brain chemistry problems and to restore normal feelings, hope, motivation and positivity.

BenzoPlus contains small enough amounts of each medication that even if a full dose of one of those medications has caused you side effects in the past, the smaller amounts in BenzoPlus are very unlikely to cause you side effects. Also even if one of the medications in Benzo Plus didn’t help you on it’s own in the past, as part of a combination or a “chemical team” with several other medications, it is likely to contribute to your improvement.
 
Benefits of BenzoPlus
Why is the MultiMed BenzoPlus so much better than a benzo on its own?
And why is BenzoPlus so much better than several medications prescribed separately?

1.    When several different types of medication are combined in one capsule, several brain chemistry imbalances can be treated at once. Also, it is not possible to just get the benzos dispensed and take them all in 2 or 3 days, while not taking the other necessary medications, which is what many benzo abusers do.

2.    BenzoPlus contains a small amount of a major tranquilliser such as Quetiapine or Pericyazine. With more severe anxiety, sleep and similar disorders it is safer to use small amounts of the newer, stronger but non-addictive major tranquillizers than it is to use large amounts of benzos. Unfortunately major tranquillisers are very expensive and are therefore only subsidised by the government for schizophrenia. They are, however, the most trouble free and safest calming agents that have ever been available to mankind. They can be used to treat a variety of mental health conditions and are contained in affordable amounts in BenzoPlus.
 
3.    When necessary BenzoPlus can also have an anticonvulsant or mood stabilizer added to the formula, which also won’t lead to tolerance or addiction.
