Dear Bill,
Hope you are doing well; I am fine.
First and foremost, I must express my gratitude for sending the speech text. The panel was held on February 13, and your absence was deeply felt. The hall was so crowded that, despite its 1,000-person capacity, people were standing on the stairs. Perhaps more than 300 people were standing outside the hall, and even the deputy head of the congress could not enter.
The discussion was highly scientific and engaging, entirely focused on the latest findings of the DST method and how the rapid cessation of drug use has destructive effects on various bodily systems. Shani delivered your speech exceptionally well, providing necessary explanations at different points to ensure the topic was thoroughly elaborated and conveyed.
Your speech contained fundamental and key discussions that were highly appealing to researchers and specialists in this field. I am both pleased and grateful for this.
During the panel, research conducted on laboratory rats, including gene testing in England, precisely demonstrated how addiction disrupts genetic expression pathways. With incomplete treatments, these destructive effects persist throughout the individual’s lifetime. However, with the DST method, these pathways are fully re-regulated.
To clarify, drug addiction disrupts the function of dozens or even hundreds of genes, so addressing, treating, or preventing addiction is not a matter of targeting a single gene. Yet, institutions like MIT, Stanford, and other research centers are searching for an "addiction gene" to develop a vaccine for addiction.
At the end of the event, for the second consecutive year, Dezhakam Publications awarded valuable prizes to the five best research papers. If we convert these prizes into dollars, the first to third place winners each received $1,000, the fourth-place winner received $500, and the fifth-place winner received $250. While this amount may seem small in your currency, it is relatively significant in ours. For example, a mid-level employee might earn around $250 monthly, and a university professor might receive about $400 monthly. Therefore, a $1,000 prize is considered quite generous.
Additionally, Dezhakam Publications provided some travel grants to students from other cities who attended the congress. Furthermore, we also provided financial support for 12 PhD research dissertations.
Now, with patience, logic, and strong scientific evidence at the cellular and molecular levels, we are working to answer the fundamental question: What is addiction? At the same time, we are systematically evaluating all treatment methods, including rapid drug cessation, treatment with Naltrexone, B2 (Buprenorphine), Methadone, and DST treatment with OT (Opium Tincture). Our goal is to verify which methods truly lead to recovery and which ones cause harm.
Finally, I am sending you some photos and short videos from the Addiction Science Congress.
May you always remain youthful and eternal.
Your friend and brother on heaven and earth forever
