Question
I am looking for a natural herb or medicine to help me overcome my herion addiction.  I was taking suboxsones but I am just subing one drug for another and it needs to stop.  Time to get my life back!

Answer
Stopping taking the drug is only the FIRST step in the treatment of drugs addiction.

Most addicts have been found to be hypoglycemic, which  is a sugar handling problem, that may have existed before drug taking.

This condition causes problems in the conversion of sugar into biological energy that is necessary in the production of the feel good neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
