Does cocaine make u violent? please give me some advive . thank u . Blair

Answer
Hi Blair, I know it is very difficult to live with an addict. It is physical disease in the true sense of the word. But if he is truly motivated perhaps he may be able to help himself with a doctor.

Please let him read:

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

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

and discuss with a Nutritional Doctor or a Clinical Nutritionist.
