The Jefferson Exchange Interview - Why Your Brain Does What It Does On Drugs

11/1/2018

Paul Thomas and Jennifer Margulis with Geoffrey Riley.

They already teamed up on a book that took a middle road on the vaccine debate.

Now Dr. Paul Thomas and Ashland journalist Jennifer Margulis explore addiction in a new book, The Addiction Spectrum: A Compassionate, Holistic Approach to Recovery.

The book explores the mechanisms of addiction and how they can be countered. The pleasure the brain gets from addictive substances is immense, and for most people it does not work to "just say no."
The co-authors spend an hour in the studio helping us better understand the components of addiction and how they can be defeated.

Dr. Paul Thomas is an award-winning Dartmouth-trained pediatrician with nearly 30 years of experience in pediatrics. His practice, Integrative Pediatrics, serves some 13,000 children in Portland, Oregon. He is the co-author with Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D.) of The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health—From Pregnancy Through Your Child’s Teen Years, which is forthcoming from Ballantine.
