Self-Cured Addict

This is the extraordinary and amazing story of Neil Brereton Jackson, a tale that reveals a potential solution to the devastating and deadly scourge of fentanyl addiction that plagues our nation-a true pandemic that took the lives of almost 75,000 Americans in 2023 due to overdoses of that drug.

Besieged with cancer and given a million-to-one chance by his doctor of surviving the surgery that would be required to remove an enormous tumor, Neil experienced what he believes was a message from God telling him that if he survived, he would have an important mission to perform. Miraculously, he survived the surgery, but the mission he anticipated did not materialize immediately. Like many patients given drugs to alleviate severe post-surgical pain, Neil became seemingly hopelessly dependent on opioids.

Seven years passed before his premonition of having a mission came to pass, but it finally did with his invention of FenBlock-a medical device that enables users to break the bond of fentanyl addiction gradually over time while experiencing few if any symptoms of withdrawal.
