... It is through the discovery of THIQ (Tetrahydroisoquinilone), a biochemical found only in the brains of alcoholics/addicts, that groundwork has been framed as never before in the pursuit of a cure. THIQ has been proven to be the basic cause for the alcoholic/addicts degeneration in society.
Before a definition of THIQ is brought forth, I feel it is necessary to give some background on the exact nature of the alcoholic/addict. ... We may see, in the near future, more dynamic treatments as a result of the discovery of that biochemical THIQ. ... What Davis revealed was that THIQ is found only in the alcoholic/addict, not anyone else. Through research into THIQ Davis also found THIQ to be a highly addictive substance in its own right. During the Second World War, the military was looking for a pain killer less addicting than morphine, and they tried THIQ, but it could not be administered because it was found to be much more addicting than morphine itself. ... 1) When we consider that THIQ is only found in the brains of alcoholics, and drug addicts, unless it is man made, it can then be then determined that THIQ can be a deciding factor into why an individual loses control in the first place.
THIQ solidifies the idea that alcoholism and addiction are diseases. ... When this occurs, a bi-product called THIQ is formed. ... In the presence of acetaldehyde, the first breakdown product of ethyl alcohol, all other substances of abuse, and in fact a product of burning tobacco, monoamines break down much more frequently into THIQ. THIQ gets plugged into endorphin receptors, and stimulates them. ... THIQ, however, has lifted alcoholism/addiction from a moral dilemma, to that of a disease similar to cancer or other such serious diseases which plague this world.
