Facts about Narcotics
This article was written by one

Medical and Rehabilitation Services,
What are
narcotics? Different kinds of narcotics:
Known Effects of Narcotics on the Immune System:
What does medical literature say? The Journal of Neuroimmunology, 85:36-44, 1998, in an article from T. K. Eisenstein and M. E. Hilburger from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at Temple University School of Medicine, stated plainly, “In aggregate, the literature supports the existence of in vivo neural-immune circuit through which morphine acts to depress the function of all cells of the immune system.” In other words, taking the medical literature as a whole, narcotics suppress every cell of the immune system. How does this affect you? The body needs an intact immune system to heal. inflammation only occurs if there is an immune reaction. If complete healing is to take place, use of narcotics must be stopped. We tell you this information at Caring Medical on the first visit to our office. Often people who are in chronic pain have become narcotic-dependent. It is not absolutely necessary to be off of narcotics to begin Prolotherapy, though this is preferred, but there must be a willingness to get off of them. The person unwilling to do this has little hope of curing the chronic pain. How do I get off of narcotics? The narcotic dose is typically weaned by 5 to 10mg/week, until the patient is completely off of narcotics. It is always helpful for the patient to also undergo Diet Typing, nutritional testing, and hormonal assessments to enhance the immune function. By using this approach, we have had success, even with heroin addicts, of not only curing the chronic pain, but also curing the addiction.
