Ben Westhoff is an investigative journalist, bestselling author of "Fentanyl, Inc.", and filmmaker behind the new documentary "Antagonist". He was the first reporter to go undercover in a Chinese fentanyl lab, and his work has advised top government officials. His new film exposes how naltrexone—a life-saving addiction medication—has been systematically suppressed by big-money interests. The stakes: 80,000 opioid deaths and 140,000 alcohol deaths annually in the U.S.Ben breaks down why methadone clinics keep patients tethered to daily visits (and keep them addicted), how the methadone lobby admitted on camera they're "financially disincentivized" from offering naltrexone, why naltrexone works for both opioid and alcohol addiction (and how it's different from methadone), the Sinclair Method vs. daily dosing, Jesse's personal experience using naltrexone to moderate drinking, and Percy Menzies—the "salty contrarian" fighting for naltrexone access.- Explore Ben Westhoff's work here. - Check out his new film, Antagonist, here.
