Hi Patty. You're not dumb - I'm sorry if it sounded like I was talking down to you!
As to the mechanism of kudzu root, I looked into it some more and it doesn't seem like it's quite that simple. But I *don't* know of any evidence that it works in the way that naltrexone is known to work.
There are a couple of studies that have been done or are being done in rodents. I remember some stuff a few years ago by Keung and colleagues. I don't know if they're still working on it.
