Re: [DIYbio] Re: Drug addiction biohacking

Check out D-Cycloserine. a search of "d-cycloserine and addiction" in pub med or google scholar will give you a ton of recent peer reviewed articles. This is an old tuberculosis antibiotic that has been discovered to act on the glutamate receptor int the brain which is central to the neuroplasticity disruption associated with addition. It has shown real results when combined with CBT and the CBT sessions are times with ingestion of the drug. Same method has shown great results for war related PTSD. because the drug increases neuroplasticity, and for other reasons, it has a measurable positive effect on learning (if only I had this drug in college). You Do NOT need to take the full tuberculosis dose, just half. Also, I'm not sure about the duration of treatment.

There is one BIG problem however: the cost. This drug has recently fallen prey to opportunistic "investors."  in 2015 the price of cycloserine increased from $500 for 30 pills to $10,800 Rodelis Therapeutics purchased it. Purdue University, the previous owner, which retained "oversight of the manufacturing operation" intervened and Rodelis returned the drug to an NGO of Purdue University foundation whi8ch now charges $1,050 for 30 capsules. If you discover a way to use the NGO system through wich governments and non-profits obtain the drug for a fraction of the price please let us know!!

Hello,

Thank you for letting me in. I'm Jack. A friend of mine named Jonathyn recently quit the idea of engaging in CRISPR CAS9 technology because he found out that it can't do anything for adult humans. We've been trying to find a way to help people with drug addiction, and we got introduced to biohacking. We're interested in being able to change people's nervous systems either through microwave radiation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1312845), CRISPR (if it can do anything at all), or whatever other means that don't technically need surgical procedures.

Thank you all, Jack.
