About this Venture

Discover our background, mission, and the world-class research driving our next-generation medical technology.

The Problem

  • Addiction effects more than 20 million Americans.
  • Counseling has limited efficiency.
  • Drug treatment is in-effective.
  • Existing solutions alternatives are poor or nonexistent.

Market Size & Opportunity

  • $32B: Total Addressable Market.
  • $1B: Servable Available Market.
  • 2%: Share of Market Target.

Go-To-Market Strategy

  • Only devices that stimulates release of KLOTHO.
  • Klotho is a powerful anti-aging protein with high potential to treat depression.
  • We will work with both mental health clinics and consumer direct channels.
  • Our strategy is to work with mental health physicians and win their support with good science and to also in parallel develop a consumer-direct campaign utilizing modern marketing tools.
  • Our goal is to first win over the top 20 influence leaders in the field with good science.
  • We aim to complete pilot clinical study in 30 patients by year end 2021.

The Technology behind it

Discover the science and innovation driving our advanced solutions, designed to deliver safe, effective, and transformative results.

Addiction Treatment Technology

The AddictiStim bioelectric stimulation addiction treatment technology is aimed at abusers including those that have the most treatment-resistant cravings for opioids, who may face a lifetime of overdoses, relapses, inability to hold a job and other consequences of addiction.

AddictiStim

Bioelectric Stimulation & Neuro-Modulation

  • Precise bioelectrical stimulation signaling sequences for controlled addiction treatment protein expressions.
  • Electroacupuncture and bioelectric stimulation controlled protein modulation may effectively modulate mesolimbi dopamine neurons and other factors involved with reducing the effects of positive and negative reinforcement involved with drug and alcohol addition including opiates.
  • AddticStim is developing serotonin modulation and stimulation technologies with multimodal action specific to the serotonin neurotransmission system.
  • To be precise, AddictiStim is attempting to modulate and control one or more serotonin production centers in the body and accompanying receptors.
  • AddictiStim has the only patent pending bioelectric signal sequence known in the world to increase circulating Klotho levels by up to 500%.
  • AddictiStim believes bioelectric stimulation control of up-regulation of circulating klotho may have a positive effect on reducing addition tendencies and plans to undertake studies to explore this avenue further.

The Solution & Klotho Benefits

  • AddictiStim bioelectric stimulation is intended to rebalance your brain and get you back on a healthy track combined with a good diet, exercise, hydration and proper sleep.
  • Our patent-pending bioelectric stimulation controlled expression of KLOTHO may be a breakthrough in addiction therapy.
  • Klotho is a powerful anti-aging protein with high potential to treat depression.
  • People low in cloth may be far more likely to be alcoholics or addicts.

How It Works (Treatment Protocol)

  1. Stimulate brain / head: 20 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 6 to 8 weeks.
  2. Stimulate stomach / kidney: 45 minutes 1X a week for 3 months.
  3. Stimulate ear lobes vagus nerve system: 30 minutes 2X a month for 3 months.
  4. Electro-acupuncture stimulation: at clinic 1X a month for 12 months.

Common questions

Don’t see your question? Reach out and our clinical team will respond personally.

All of us here at AddictiStim are committed to developing technologies to help people recover from the terrible tyranny of drug and alcohol addiction. We believe in a holistic approach to treating the entire person and not just the use of advanced technologies. Our AddictiStim treatment protocol is meant to be a key component of a fully comprehensive strategy to fight addition.

A few important principles that we incorporate into the recovery process that we offer include:

  • There is no single treatment that is right for everyone.
  • Treatment programs need to address the needs and well-being of the patient, not only their struggles with addiction.
  • Remaining in rehab until the conclusion of your treatment plan is crucial.
  • Knowing that addiction is a very complex disease, but it is treatable.
  • Medically-assisted detox programs are not meant to be the only program you need.
  • Behavioral therapies and other counseling options are needed for those who suffer from any co-occurring disorders.
  • Any treatment plans that are made should be revisited often and should be adjusted when necessary.
  • Addiction treatment needs to be able to address any mental health issues, as well.
  • Access to the necessary medications is an essential part of treatment, especially when it is combined with certain forms of therapy.
