Pill to cure gambling addiction?

OnlineCasino.org | 11.10.2005 | 10:56:08 | Views: 171 | Casino News A cinical trial to treat compulsive gambling with a pill to start this month.
According to abqtrib.com a pill may be the way to treat gambling addiction in the future.

"Lapham this month is starting a clinical trial to treat compulsive gambling with a pill that blocks the brain's pleasure pathways and keeps the person from enjoying a gambling high. The name of the pill is confidential as part of the study, she said."

"The pill has worked successfully treating alcoholics but has never been tried on compulsive gamblers before, she added."

"If a pill to stop gambling seems odd, consider this: A drug called Martex, used to treat Parkinson's disease, has actually created compulsive gambling problems in patients that never had them before, said Kandace Blanchard, executive director of the New Mexico branch of the National Council on Problem Gambling."

I've always wondered if there any pills that somebody can take to treat an addiction to pills.

These pharmaciticals and doctors want people to believe that gambling is worse for your health than popping pills.

Give me a break............lots of quacks in the DR. field...........as most of us know.

Kevin Turdoow should have another book out soon about a nautural remedy for resisting the urge for taking a risk for a reward. The pharmaceutical companies don't want you to know this information. They are working with and bribing the FDA to keep you from hurting yourself.
