Killeen's point is simple and persuasive: addiction is not so much a psychological problem as a physical one. In other words, it has its root in biochemistry.
Because of our poor diet, sketchy lifestyles, and high-stress modes of living most of us are walking around with big deficits in the brain - specifically depleted and unbalanced neurotransmitters. As a result, we cannot think or function normally. So to get back to normal we go after external chemicals and experiences that temporarily give our brains the boost they need. This is always a losing proposition, one of diminishing returns requiring ever bigger fixes.
The RX for addiction is amino acid therapy which rebuilds and replenishes the neurotransmitters. Where do we get amino acids? In a nutshell, from complete proteins (whole foods) and the supplements derived therein.
It's that simple. When we don't eat right we fall into addictive modes of behavior, with great pain and suffering to follow.
