This symposium will begin by examining the toxicologic underpinnings of various methods to look younger, last longer, and get stronger. The primary focus will be on the basic science behind these “therapies” and the evidence supporting potential approaches to treatment. The second half of the symposium will delve into debauchery - the sordid world of gambling addiction, celebrity drug abuse, addiction and detoxification, as well as the benefits and risks of public health measures to ameliorate the epidemic of opioid overdose.
