Russian doctors founded the "Paddling" therapy used to help people get rid of addiction and fight against bad mood, behind is a scientific reason.
Russia's "Paddling" therapy
"Paddling" is one of the most common punishment in ancient China, Singapore and other countries, as there are today still retains the "whipping" of this ancient corporal punishment.
Surprisingly, this ancient penalty charges actually become a treatment program. According to the British Daily Mail reported that the Russian doctors came up with a method for a variety of addictive disease or condition strange therapy, including treatment can be whipped up to 60 times the therapist buttocks.
This therapy founder, Novosibirsk Institute of Medical Biology Institute director Dr. Sergei Speransky also use their own experiences, he admitted that he had to accept the "whipping" to help him out of the episodes of depression plagued . He further explained that, in theory, corporal punishment can stimulate the brain to produce endorphins known as the "happy hormone" in order to "offset addicts lose enthusiasm for life, moody, mental disorders and even suicidal tendencies."
The indications include the treatment of drug addiction, sex addiction, workaholism, and even include depressed mood and depression. Treatment includes conversations with the therapist and the therapist's acceptance of "caning." Like heroin addicted to this serious addicts, they will receive the highest "punishment", each time beaten buttocks 60 times, and alcohol or other addictive generally accepted 30 times. "Victim" Every time I need to pay 30 rubles, or about less than 500 yuan. Treatment twice a week for three months, then once every 4 weeks follow-up, maintained for 1 year.
Before accepting treatment, patients need to go through ECG, to ensure that the process will not be beaten cause heart problems.
Treatment more inclined to use such flexible willow "a rod" can be avoided beat during bleeding.
This therapy has been the use of two other psychologists, has a total of more than 1000 cases of treatment, patients were treated, including men and women, age range from 17 to 70 years.
In a study of 30 cases in the sample, the authors claim that the majority of cases have received a good response, successfully overcome their addiction.
Two presiding officer also claimed that their customers include famous singers like Peter Doherty and other showbiz stars, and foreigners have started to fly to Siberia for treatment of.
Then this therapy has no scientific basis for it?
Regulating pain and endorphin system
Pain reflex: people will inevitably be a variety of injuries, pain is the body a feeling for noxious stimuli, pain and evolved for one fugitive reflection, to protect against damage sustained, therefore reflecting pain is the body's protective mechanisms. However, at the same time is a malignant pain sensation, certain accompanying stress, including changes in emotional reactions and negative physiological functions, intense pain can cause pain and even lead to shock and even sudden death.
We know that the human body has a variety of homeostatic mechanisms, in order to "stabilize" the adverse effects caused by pain, the development of human endogenous analgesia system, secreted by the pituitary endorphins, enkephalins and dynorphin, the main It is - endorphins for pain mediation.
Endorphin system for the regulation of pain: - endorphin by the anterior pituitary is described as a opiomelanocortin (POMC) large precursor protein from decomposing. In the human body by various emergency stimulation, such as pain, hypothalamus secrete corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which acts on the pituitary POMC decomposition of - endorphin, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and other types of small proteins or peptides participate in the stress response.
Wherein, - endorphin There are two main ways for pain regulation: in the peripheral nervous system by binding to the synaptic - opioid receptor, suppress some pain especially substance P substance suppressing the generation and transmission of pain sensation.
In the central nervous system, - endorphin same synaptic opioid receptor binding, inhibition of GABA (- aminobutyric acid) of this inhibitory neurotransmitter release, thereby stimulating the reward center of the brain dopaminergic neurons in a large number of production of dopamine. Dopamine can not only inhibit the pain response. Also stimulates the cerebral cortex euphoria, which is "pain and happiness" reasons.
Reward centers of the human brain, dopamine and addiction
Human ancestors in the long evolutionary process, in order to survive, multiply develop a reward system, whenever obtained favor survival and reproduction of the substance or behavior, they secrete "happy hormone" (primarily dopamine) reward to give yourself a kind of "euphoria . "
Factors that can trigger the brain reward system, including feeding and mating natural instinct, honors, awards, and other social reward money, some drugs can also stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the brain reward system through different channels, euphoria, this is what we He said drugs. According to the different drug mechanism of action, can be roughly divided into two categories: marijuana and heroin through the inner mimic endogenous analgesic substance endorphins bind to opioid receptors, it stimulates the production and release of cocaine, amphetamines and other stimulants can be directly stimulate the release of dopamine in the synaptic cleft, which also can inhibit synaptic membrane dopamine reabsorption. Suppress pain and produce euphoria.
Whether it is a natural reward, reward or social drugs, also can stimulate the brain to produce dopamine reward system, resulting in different levels of euphoria. But when dopamine subside, not only euphoria disappeared, the mood will be even more depressed. To regain euphoria, people will continue to repeat the behavior or desire to get stimulants, especially drug can stimulate the production of more dopamine, people maintain a continuous excited state.
At this time, the body's homeostatic mechanisms and play a role, through a variety of mechanisms, such as inhibition of dopamine synthesis and transport, reduction of dopamine receptors to regulate the role of dopamine, so that only increasing the intensity or dose to conduct previously obtained the same euphoria. Thus, people will have a "addicted" to certain behavior and substance. Currently included in the "mental illness" is the only addiction drug addiction (including alcohol) and gambling addiction, others such as food addiction, sex addiction, get praise and money and even social behavior such as theft addiction is still the medical profession and universally recognized by the community, but there are a lot of various addictions 9,771 indisputable fact.
When not get more intense stimulation, not only can not produce euphoria, but will have a variety of negative emotional responses, even the body physiological response, which is called withdrawal symptoms. Cause produce withdrawal symptoms that various substances and stimulate behavior, especially drug as exogenous stimuli stimulate the body to produce a large number of dopamine, thus suppressing the generation of - endorphin as endogenous analgesic substance within it has also been supported by a large number of experimental evidence. For example, ordinary people in the dental surgery under local anesthesia, can be found in the body of the rapid increase in endorphins, but drug addicts are not so obvious. This is also the addicts in the state of daily life loses enthusiasm, boredom, and even depression, even world-weary mood reason.
Russian doctors this "Paddling" therapy can be said for the withdrawal symptoms of the opposite, by a certain degree of noxious stimuli in the stimulation of endogenous analgesic substances produce endorphins, to help people overcome addiction withdrawal symptoms, offset the negative emotional impact. So is a scientific principle of "reasonable" therapy.
Indeed, some with "noxious stimulus" therapies, such as strenuous exercise, "tapping therapy," joint excessive stretching of yoga, massage, acupuncture and cupping may imply the same principles.
