I want to help him get clean and stay that way.


ANSWER: Hi Krystal,

There is not much you can do. He has to help himself. But it may help knowing that drug addiction is a physiological disorder that can be treated with a combination of of nutritional therapy and psychotherapy.

Let him read the following articles:

Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/drug_addictions_nutritional_disorder.htm

Treatment of Drug Addiction at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/treatment_drug_addiction.html

Self-help Personal Growth Psychotherapy at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/self-help_personal_growth.html

and discuss with a Nutritional Doctor, a Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychologist if you want to.

He should also read my book "Getting off the Hook" freely available on the internet.

If he has any further questions he could contact me at:
