Endorphin PAK

If you have difficulty stopping the use of pain killers, use alcohol or drugs for a time-out from working too hard or have a history of being overly responsible and time-urgent, then the Endorphin PAK may work for you.

Endorphins and enkephalins are inhibitory neurotransmitters that are produced by the brain in response, primarily, to pain and physical exertion. By down-regulating pain signals, they enable us to continue physical activity even in the presence of inflammation or injuries which might otherwise disable us. Heroin, Morphine, Demerol, Methadone, Codeine, Darvon and other opioids all have chemical structures which mimic the effects of the natural painkilling substances (neurotransmitters) produced in the brain. But there are important differences between the natural painkilling substances produced by our brains and the psychotropic substances which mimic their effects. Although the chemical structures of morphine and heroin are such that they can occupy endorphin and enkephalin receptors, these substances are chemically quite different from the brains natural painkillers in all other respects.

This means that they cannot be deactivated by the enzymes that break down endorphins and enkephalins as part of the normal recycling process. As a result, they occupy pain receptors for long periods of time, intercepting the transmission of pain signals and causing a numbing of pain and, in higher doses, euphoria and drowsiness. Although this makes them highly effective painkillers, it also causes them to be potentially highly addictive because the brain responds by making less and less of its natural painkillers. In addition, it means that overdoses can be lethal. Are/were you an endorphin/enkephalin deficient person?
