Original Air Date:  June 12, 2012 at 6pm PT / 9pm ET I'm reposting this show because it was one of my favorites!   ~~~~~~~~~~~ "Substance abuse has become our number one public health problem."  - Addiction:  The Hidden Epidemic by Pam Killeen Pam Killeen, author, health educator, and nutrition consultant joins us to discuss common sense solutions for our #1 health problem - addiction.  It seems as though everyone is addicted to something nowadays - drugs, food, coffee, shopping, internet, relationships, gambling, sex, smoking, video games, TV, and so on.   Are addicts just morally defective?  Or is there something going on from a biochemical approach that can be effectively treated?  In this show, you'll learn what's happening with addictions from a root cause and what to do about it.  There IS hope!
