NCT03394911

Brief Summary

Healthy adult human male facial skin surface lipid liquid pheromone given by mouth to opioid addicts cures them without any withdrawal symptoms whatsoever 250mg on chewing gum vehicle by mouth. Elevated mood eventually becomes accommodated after a few weeks. The pheromone contains volatile airborne sub-pheromones which cause aversive behavior (distrust, superstition, suspicion, arrogance, astonishment/stupidity, jealousy). Artificial jealousy can be avoided by patient isolation for 40 days until the pheromone "taste" wears off the saliva. The pheromone provided is odorless, colorless, and tasteless to the conscious brain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Clean Tox Screen, UDS, urinary drug screen

    no drug use since pheromone provided. Urinary Drug Screens are among the most common medical tests in hospitals. Positive or "Dirty" urinary drug screens are routinely followed up with gas chromatography--mass spectrometry to assure test results.

    six weeks, all common opioids clear in six weeks time. Cannabis may take a little longer than six weeks to clear, but we are not really interested in that, are we?

  • Dirty Tox Screen

    Continued heavy drug use comparable to initial Tox Screen testing. Urinary Drug Screens are among the most common medical tests in hospitals. Positive or "Dirty" urinary drug screens are routinely followed up with gas chromatography--mass spectrometry to assure test results.

    six weeks, all common opioids clear in six weeks time. Cannabis may take a little longer than six weeks to clear, but we are not really interested in that, are we?

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

250mg p.o. of healthy adult male facial skin surface lipid liquid pheromone on fresh, new, just-purchased, un-chewed Wrigley's Rain #5 sugarless chewing gum vehicle. 15 pieces or divided as tolerated.

Biological: 250mg healthy adult male facial skin surface lipid liquid pheromone

Placebo Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo identical to Experimental dose with randomly assigned identification numbers on unopened, unsealed key. Placebo and Experimental doses kept together and undifferentiable without the key being opened. Key available for opening 24/7 w/pharmaceuticals tech onsite. Keep pheromone/placebo doses under a fume hood. Wear 3M Versaflo activated charcoal filter supplied air respirator or equivalent to access.

Biological: 250mg healthy adult male facial skin surface lipid liquid pheromone
