Question
Hello,
I am currently a freshman at UNC-Wilmington, and I am having a hard time finding information on the CON side of Changing Federal Drug laws to increase the use of treatment programs and to reduce use of prison terms. I would REALLY appreciate it if you could help me with this subject.

Thank you,
Danielle

Answer
Hello Danielle,

As a retired Probation and Parole Officer I have a great interest in rehabilitation of drug addiction.

I used to run groups for drug addicts and alcoholics and many other kinds of offenders.

I used a combination of nutritional therapy and psychotherapy, to help people overcome their mental illness. This is a controversial topic among traditional 'mentalistic' therapists.

This is vast topic, but most of the information is at our web site. I suggest you read:

“The forgotten Factor in the Crime Debate”

“What is Hypoglycemia?”

“The Serotonin Connection”

“Treatment of drug Addiction”
