RE: Re: Cleaning out the meth

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I appreciate your answer and will file it for future reference. However,

the person for whom I am seeking help isn't into things such as EFT. In

fact, at this point, he is denying any problem. I think that he is not

in total reality because of his drug use.

I do have sculcap and dandelion, and I can get some milk thistle. If I

can get him to take these in capsule form, will they be a decent

beginning, helping him to get the stuff out of his system and his mind

back into reality? Or am I asking too much?

I am not sure about the nutritious meals, how much he is willing to

change his diet. Right now he is into prepared cereal with milk, and

into ice cream. a

Yes, there are all kinds of things that can help if the person

truly wants to get better. I'm not a doctor and don't prescribe any

cures but this is what I would do.

First, learn EFT, emotional freedom technique. There are

practioners all over and the website www.emofree.com has a collection

of very inexpensive (basic stuff is free and that will take care of

90% of what people use it for) training CDs and DVDs. EFT is awesome

for helping a person deal with addictive cravings. It uses

affirmations and tapping on different acupoints to heal up disruptions

in the body's energy circuits (which manifest as negative emotions,

disease, addictions and phobias, etc.). I've been incorporating it

into my practice and although I haven't dealt with a meth case I have

seen it work some wonders with cravings.

Second: EAT NUTRITIOUS MEALS. This is probably one of the most

understressed aspect of healing. If the person isn't getting a lot of

healthy nutrition his or her brain and body will not function

correctly and will not be able to adequately recover from the toxic

waste it was subjected to. Most americans do not understand how to

eat in a healthy manner and this takes research, time, and a

willingness to make changes in one's life.

Third: HERBAL SUPPORT. Basically, a person needs to detox his

or her body (alteratives) while soothing the nervous system with

nervines (I would go with skullcap). While that is happening your

nutritional program is helping it build itself back to health. Liver

support (dandelion, milk thistle, lots of others) will be needed BIG

TIME. I like dandelion, it's a good detoxifier, a gentle bowel

cleanser (important while detoxing), and free if you gather your own.

If the person with the problem has the cash there are some liver

support formulas based on dandelion and milk thistle available at the

local health food store.

THE SHORT ANSWER: Do a 3 day juice fast, eat awesomely healthy

meals with lots of produce, take a dandelion root decoction or

tincture 3x/day along with skullcap tincture 3x/day.

Sorry, TerriLynne, but you can't kick his addiction for him. If he's not

willing to face up to the problem and choose to deal with it, there's not

much you can do.

Hi Sharon,

I understand where you are coming from. I have worked in and out of the

substance abuse field for years. And, of course, wht you say applies to

anybody changing anything. But he is interested in health, and he is

interested in quitting. He is just in verbal denial about how addicted

he is. In other words, he wants to quit, but he is trying to say that it

is something he can do on his own, and that he doesn't need a rehab. I'm

not convinced of the accuracy of this belief, but his choices are his

own. However, I know that he would take herbs if I offer them to him.

As a person recovering from alcohol and drugs I can tell you from personal experience, don't waste your time. The person you are dealing with is not in their right mind and I'm 99% sure they could care less what you think is right for them. I did not get clean and sober until I was ready to get clean and sober, not my husband's time frame, not my kid's, mine.

The best thing would be for YOU to follow all the recommendations and find yourself a good Al-Anon meeting.

Oops, disregard my previous message! You know what you are doing. So sorry - Shari

Terri,

Is meth the only drug he is using? Does he also do coke? Pot? These will also need to be removed from his life (if he is using them) before any sort of recovery is made, either on his own or with help.

Peace, love, laughter
