THAT.
BUT LOOK, THANKS FOR TELLING
US THE TRUTH.
WE ALWAYS APPRECIATE THAT.
>> ONE COMPANY, I FIND THIS
FASCINATING, VERY IMPORTANT
STORY.
WE'VE GOT A COMPANY THAT'S
DEVELOPED IN IMPLANTS THAT THE
COMPANY SAYS CAN BE USED TO
TREAT ALCOHOLISM.
JOINING US NOW IS BRADY, THE
CEO OF BIO CORRECT, ALSO WITH
US IS ACTOR JEREMY MULLER WHO
HAS HAD THE IMPLANT AND IT
WORKS, BUT FIRST TO BRADY.
THIS IS AN IMPLANT FROM YOUR
COMPANY, TELL ME HOW IT
WORKS.
>> AT THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE.
IT IMPLANTS A PALLET OF
MEDICATION.
>> WITH IT.
THAT LITTLE THING ON THE END
THAT IT'S A VERY SMALL PIECE.
THAT GOES INTO YOUR BODY.
>> THE LOWER RIGHT OR LEFT
QUADRANT, IF IT'S UNDER THE
SKIN AND THEN OVER SEVERAL
MONTHS IT RELEASES THE
MEDICATION INTO THE BODY.
NALTREXONE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR
DECADES.
IT'S A PROVEN MEDICATION THAT
STOPS CRAVINGS FOR ALCOHOL OR
OPIOIDS AND YOU AVOID THE
EFFECTS OF IT.
SO IT WORKS IN TWO DIFFERENT
WAYS.
>> WAIT A SECOND.
IT'S RELATIVELY SIMPLE
SURGICAL IMPLANT.
TAKE ME THROUGH IT SOUP TO
NUTS.
HOW MUCH?
I'M SURE COUNSELING COMES WITH
THIS AND IT'S A SURGICAL
PROCEDURE.
HOW MUCH QUESTION.
>> THE POINT.
WE HAVE INDEPENDENT PROVIDERS
WHO USE OUR IMPLANT WITH THE
ENTIRE PROGRAM THAT WE CREATED
WHICH INCLUDES BEHAVIORAL
THERAPY.
SUPPORT FOR YEAR, A LOT OF
LABOR-INTENSIVE.
THEY TELL US THEIR PRICES
ANYWHERE FROM TEN OR $12000
GIVE OR TAKE TO PENDING A PART
OF THE COUNTRY AND HOW MUCH
WORK IS IN INVOLVED.
IT'S A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM
THAT INCLUDES THESE THREE
DIFFERENT COMPONENTS FOR THE
MEDICATION WHICH IS JUST THE
TOOL TO BUY YOU TIME TO GET
THROUGH THE THERAPY, THE.
SUPPORT AND GROUP THERAPY.
>> TEN GRAND OUT THE DOOR.
>> EVER TAKE THEM YES.
>> BALLPARK FIGURES $10000.
THAT WILL SET YOU STRAIGHT.
BRADY, STAY THERE.
I WANT TO TALK TO JEREMY.
>> YOU HAVE THIS DONE.
>> IN 2011.
IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE GAME
CHANGER FOR ME.
I HAD STRUGGLED FOR 15 YEARS
WITH ALCOHOLISM.
>> I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STOP
FOR PROBABLY THREE YEARS SOLID
BEFORE THIS.
I TRIED INPATIENT, OUTPATIENT,
TWELVE-STEP, MEDITATION,
HOLISTIC THERAPY, HYDROTHERAPY
I RAN THE GAMUT AND I HAD
GIVEN UP HOPE.
>> THEN YOU HAVE THE IMPLANT
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WITHIN HOURS I STARTED
NOTICING THE EFFECTS, AND WHAT
YOU NOTICES WHAT'S NOT THERE,
THAT CONSTANT OBSESSIVE NEED.
IT JUST KIND OF THE ENMESHED.
IT WAS LIKE A LIGHT SWITCH GOT
TURNED OFF FOR ME.
FIANCE
FIANCÉ AND I HAD TO STOP FOR
GAS
GS
GAS, WE HAD GOTTEN STUCK
IN TRAFFIC ABOUT FOUR HOURS
AFTER MY PROCEDURE, SHE GAVE
ME 20 BUCKS TO GO PAY AND I
RAN INSIDE, I PAID AND I
WALKED OUT AND I HAD TO STOP
OUTSIDE THE DOOR BECAUSE I
DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE BEER.
I DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE
ALCOHOL BUT I WALKED OUT
WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT AND
THAT WAS SO UNUSUAL THAT I
ACTUALLY STOPPED OUTSIDE THE
DOOR AND HAD TO TAKE A
MINUTE.
>> BUT IT TOOK AWAY THE
DESIRE.
>> YES.
IT'S ALL I HAVE THOUGHT
ABOUT.
>> AND YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD
UNLESS YOU HAVE A DRINK.
>> YOU FEEL AWFUL.
I HAD A WAKE UP WITH BOOZE.
IF I DID NOT I WAS NOT RIGHT
THE WHOLE DAY.
>> ANY OTHER SIDE EFFECTS.
>> VERY MINIMAL FOR ME.
A LITTLE BIT OF RESTLESSNESS
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS WE
NOTICED, I HAD THE CHANCE TO
WORK WITH SOME PATIENTS "AFTER
WORDS" AND HELP WITH
COUNSELING AND PURE SUPPORT IS
THAT BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A SLOW
RELEASE, THE BODY SEEMS VERY
RECEPTIVE TO IT.
I EXPERIENCED ALMOST ZERO SIDE
EFFECTS.
A LITTLE BIT OF RESTLESSNESS
THE FIRST COUPLE OF NIGHTS AND
THAT WAS ABOUT IT.
>> DO YOU EVER FEEL THAT I'D
LOVE TO GET BACK TO THE
EUPHORIA, THAT FEELING THAT
ONE DOES GET WITH THIS SKIN
FULL OF BOOZE.
>> LIKE ANY ALCOHOLIC, IF YOU
TOLD ME THERE IS A WAY FOR ME
TOO BECOME A NORMAL DRINKER
AND ACTUALLY JUST HAVE A
COUPLE DRINKS AND BE OKAY I
WOULD JUMP AT THAT.
IF YOU COULD GUARANTEE THAT,
BUT THE FACT IS I'VE HAD
FRIENDS ASK ME, DON'T YOU WISH
YOU COULD HAVE A BEER RIGHT
NOW AND I SAID PROBABLY BUT IS
IT WORTH RISKING IT?
IS IT WORTH GOING DOWN THE
ROAD THAT I KNOW THE
DESPERATION IT TAKES ME TOO.
>> YOU DIDN'T SUBSTITUTE THE
ALCOHOL WITH ANY OTHER DRUG.
>> NO, NOT FOR ME.
ALTHOUGH I HAPPENED TO BE A
BIG MEDICAL MARIJUANA
FAMILY FRIENDS BUT THAT'S NOT
AN OPTION FOR ME.
I KNOW WHERE THAT STUFF TAKES
ME.
I'M USING ANYTHING TO COPE
BEYOND WHAT'S INSIDE ME I'M
ALREADY IN DEEP TROUBLE.
>> WHAT'S IT LIKE HAVING A
TOTALLY CLEAR HEAD.
>> IT'S AMAZING.
I WAS DRINKING FROM THE TIME I
WAS ABOUT 19, I WAS IN
EVERYDAY DRINKER FROM ABOUT 21
ON UNTIL I ACTUALLY GOT THE
IMPLANT.
TOO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO THINK
AND GET UP IN THE MORNING AND
FEEL OKAY AND GET SOMETHING
ACCOMPLISHED FOR MY FAMILY IS
AMAZING.
>> HOLD ON A SECOND.
BRADY, HOW MANY IMPLANTS HAVE
YOU PUT IN.
>> WE'VE TREATED ABOUT A
THOUSAND PATIENTS IN OUR
PROGRAM BUT THE PROBLEM IS
PURE SUPPORT SO WERE SEEKING
FDA APPROVAL TO GET WIDER.
ACCEPTANCE.
>> YOU HAVE A THOUSAND.
>> OVER A THOUSAND WITH GOOD
RESULTS.
>> GREAT RESULTS BUT IT'S NOT
100% SUCCESS RATE BUT WHAT
IS.
NEEDLESS TO SAY WE HAVEN'T
SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
IT'S ABOUT 80% OR 85% OF
SPENDING ON HOW LONG YOUR
TRACKING PEOPLE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH
GENTLEMAN.
