HI george mchard,
Whatever the addiction is, it is caused by an underlying metabolic disorder that needs to be treated. Most drug addicts are hypoglycemic and therefore the first step in treatment is going on a hypoglycemic diet. Please read:
Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/drug_addictions_nutritional_disorder.htm...
and discuss this with a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychotherapist, if self-help therapy fails. The first step in treatment is going on a hypoglycemic diet (look up at our web site).
For more information use our "Search our Web Site" and look for articles containing topics entered in search engine.
