  • Botanical and other Protocols for Opiate Use Disorder

Speaker: Kenneth Proefrock, NMD.  Most pertinent to this talk will be the myriad of ways that natural substances can be used to promote a better calibration of the patient’s response to their self-medication. Specific botanical and nutritional interventions include Mitrogyna (Kratom), Sceletium, Alpinia, Zingiber, Verbena, Urtica, Bergamot…amino acids and their derivatives like Tyrosine. DL Phenylalanine, Phenylbutyrate, inositol, phospholipids, nutraceuticals like Piracetam, Aniracetam and Sulfiram and many more. We will discuss the processes of detoxing/withdrawal, receptor blockade, addressing the underlying causes for substance abuse (physical, psychological, spiritual pain and trauma vs neglect) and the role that transformative, psychedelic experiences can play in the process.
