Alternative Drug Addiction Remedies: Clean up the Streets.

“Here we go again; the night is more active than the day. All I hear is slamming car doors, deals being made, and drunk men vomiting outside my window. Midnight to Sunrise, it doesn’t end; when does Justice step in? Or does that only exist in my Libra Soul?”

I want to talk about Drug Addiction or Substance Abuse, as This has been heavy on my mind as I have been witnessing pipes and needles on the streets in Ottawa, Ontario, in the most recent years.

Streets filled with drug dealers and drug addicts roaming the nights free, wild and untamed, as I wonder where the leaders that are meant to clean these streets up and keep our city safe.

Here are some Recommendations:

  • Eat a well-balanced, nutrient-dense diet that emphasizes fresh, raw foods.

  • Avoid heavily processed foods, all forms of sugar, and junk food. These quick sources of energy can follow with low feelings that may increase cravings for drugs.

  • Add high-protein drinks and foods to the diet.

  • Consider a fasting program under the supervision of a Nutrition Specialist.

  • Burdock Root and Red Clover aid in cleansing toxins from the bloodstream (Under Supervision)

  • Siberian ginseng helps those experiencing cocaine withdrawal (Do not use this herb if you have high blood pressure, heart disorder or hypoglycemia)

  • Valerian root has a calming effect. If used with Amino Acid Tyrosine, it can help those withdrawing from Cocaine, restoring a natural noradrenaline and adrenaline release in the body.

  • A Chinese Herb, Pueraria, has been used for centuries as a cure for alcoholism.

  • Milk thistle helps detoxify the liver.

  • Many drug users suffer from Malnutrition, as drugs rob the body of necessary nutrients. Thus, a proper supplement program needs to be implemented.

To minimize withdrawal symptoms, the dosage should be decreased gradually over a period of four weeks or longer, regardless of the drug. This cannot be done alone; it must be done with professional help.
