Exclusive: Could Innovative Brain Surgery Be Tool To Treat Severe Substance Abuse?
This will not end well. You can be addicted to drugs or electrical stimulation.
Changed one would be though!
NO!!!
then you will become addicted too wanting more of the stimulation of what the pacemaker provides,
so the effect will become less effective
my views
Wired-brain to stop drug abuse instead of expensive years-long therapy?
This remind me a lot of lobotomy. Drilling holes into the head of people, as a "humane" alternative to locking them up in cages.
Really impressed by how much assistance I have been getting from

This is like the lobotomy. Did they think about using a hammer.
You know a hard blow up side the head. Attitude adjustment-give it a scientific name. Like malpractice.
😳😳😳The Biden Administration is Mandating the Death 💀 Jab!!! Start the Nuremberg Trials Now!!!
I would have done anything to save my x of 33 yrs but they- the court- told me there was no hope for him and made me leave.
Nope , it will not "work". I would think they would try mushrooms, DMT, or others before this bullcrap
Are going back to the lobotomy?
I felt i was broke and helpless until a friend told me about a hacker on YouTube name I took  the rick and tried working with them and put in my last $1000 and I couldn’t believe I got $10,000 in return and I was still able to reinvent the profit they a pro hacker
No
Just put the dope down.
who see's the future where Republicans are ordering for people's brains to be forcibly Hacked, No thanks, F.U.
The obesity epidemic, leading neurodegenerative disease . Basically blood sugar feeds bugs , bugs eat your brain and cause blood clots that slow tissue repair. Plus you can't feed yourselves because you can't generate enough internal energy .
Bullet through the head! What I felt was going to cure me of alcohol addiction. But I stayed true and got clean.
All the workers already killed themselves. Your going to starve to death . Size matters
nope. not after this vaccine crap. this is what m.a.t is for. not everyone will have access to this due to cost. celebrities and rich people will get this. not our everyday addicts. our government started this opiod crisis. What he described was the removal of depression, anxiety, and adding happiness. The other person also relapsed. So, that's just like the chances of getting addicted. two people try drugs for the first time, one gets addicted (because they have the addictive gene) and the other person does not (because they don't have the addictive gene)
The answer is no. Anyone remember Lobotomies? Science back to experimenting on the unwilling. You wonder why you have so much resistance now.
This is the story line in clockwork orange.
This is revolutionary. I'm heartbroken I would be rejected as an early volunteer; I've limped along to reach age 69.
So he's gonna get WIRED to get him off meth? LOL
The other guy relapsed… Sounds really effective…
You're saying you can cure my ADHD?
Life is brutal – if you have no money – you are in prison. I am praying for you James.
seems like a lot of work when the usa has the largest prison population just for non-violent drug offenses… this is clockwork orange insanity and yet still the evil plants are still winning… meanwhile they're punishing legitimate people who need medications
I am looking forward to seeing whether it will work on affective disorder.
LDN works
This surgery has been used for some time to treat epileptic seizures. I'm not sure how successful it's been as I haven't followed up on the results.
Soon we'll be able to implant wires to our motor cortex and control our movements.
Yeah … bad science here. Insufficiently knowledgeable reporter here, too.
Glad their doing this in West Virginia, Suboxone methadone not the answer!
I’m sure it’s affordable
