1. do you agree or disagree and elaborate.

My reflections on the n the Awaking the Frozen Addicts documentary are drugs and neurological diseases can mimic each other. When the patients initially went in the hospital there was no clue as to what was going on with them however once it was founded, they took heroin it gave them something to work with. The drugs they had taken were man made. They showed the signs of Parkinson's down to the slowness of movement. It was thought that Parkinson's was predominately a genetic disorder however it has to do with the death of brain cells that make Dopamine. this may also be environmental. The individuals were treated with L-Dopa used for Parkinsons. They were then able to tell what had been going on during the time they were " frozen" in their bodies. However, this was short lived because the treatment was worse than the disease. I was amazed that the cells of a fetus could be " implanted into the brain of a human and causes the brain to produce Dopamine. Although it did not cure those "frozen" it made headway for those with Parkinson's.

Prior to this class I believe that addition was one of choice, but I now see that it could be genetic or environmental. Addiction should be treated and funded like other disease because it too has to do with the brain and not a disease of choice. I will forever think it could be me or my loved one.
