A member asked:
Can you block opiate receptors and endorphins receptors through your diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The receptors are specific for these chemicals. The only way you can block the receptors with diet is if you diet includes percocet. There is no food or nutritional supplement that will bind to the receptors.
