So there is this amino acid protocol for addiction, but what about those poor elderly men and women in nursing homes and shared homes where they are put by their families who cannot care for them themselves any longer...? They are being fed horrible terrible pseudo food and so their cancers and ailments grow exponentially while their minds and bodies decay rapidly. It is like they are feeding them to die as soon as possible. Can we institute a supplement protocol for the elderly in all places they are cared for? Should be possible without a problem if their health is at all a concern. I.e. fish oils and healthy oils to prevent brain function decrease..., amino acids vitamins minerals that their age tend to get depleted in... etc. How hard can this be to institute? Whomever had the clout to get this protocol for addicts in action, let's put one in for our elderly eh?
Replacing in your body what the drug has stolen from you will help. I went CT and was on the Thomas Receipe and it cut my WDs down to about half, and I believe helped me get thru much quickier. Our bodies are deprived of so much when we are addicted to doc and the quickier we replenish our bodies the quickier we will get back to feeling normal.
the thomas recipe i tried one time when I only thought I was ready to quit and it only got me hooked on xan's so anybody using that please leave the xanax out.
Ok I will stop by I have to go run some errands and i'm feeling ok now. I took a half dose of my pain meds about 15 min ago and i'm feeling good now. I'm on a taper and doing good so far, if I find something to get the edge off and the cold sweats i'll be ok well plus keep my mind in check, I get super depressed in the morning I just ate a bunch of fruit i'm gonna go get some banana's and other stuff.
yeah that caffeine blew me outta the water I was outta my mind for a few hrs
I havent read it yet. They are also saying Vitamin C is very helpful with wd's now. Cant hurt to try it out. Your body and mind will thank you for replacing toxic meds for something healthy.........sara
Call the pharmacy and ask them about it....
I read the page troubled dude gave me and it's unbelievable the sodium abscorbate, have you tried it TD and it worked like they say, that would be truly amazing they even say it can overcome overdoses for on the spot reversal to save their life if I read right. Where do you get it drug store? Or script?
Caffeine is best avoided during this time. Anxiety becomes an issue for some.
Our minds play real big games with us. You sound healthy but if you are unsure about it go see your doctor. I go to the chiropractor on occasion and that really helps me keep all aligned. Gets the blood flowing........sara
I took b-12 complex this moring caus I wanted to get up and get going, well I messed up and took a caffine pill also which I used to take to before workout and felt like I hit a rail of coke all morning wont do that again. I was jittery and my mind was racing, I have been on downers and being mellow too long for that. Maybe take a quarter pill next time if I really cant get going. It did help me cut back my taper today though.
Ok thanks for the info, Also I get a creepy feeling down my left arm here and there. Like tingly and numb, It happens when I cut back or W/D and just on occasion. I'm 29 and doubt it's heart related but I always heard something about that's the first feeling of a heart attack. My blood pressure is always good I think it's around 119/80 does that sound right they say its ok every month when i go? and my pulse is always between 70 and 80 at the dr. Is it just nervous mind tricks? I think your body can play alot of tricks on you when you try and take away it's candy it seems.
I take Ester C, B-6 and B-12 and it has really helped. Started taking it right away when i cleaned up. I had to stick with the less pills thing too. sara
I believe the Amino Acid Protocol is more about speeding up the healing process in your mind and body, therefore if you follow it for 3 to 6 months you will be in a much better position than with nothing. It does not lessen the pain and discomfort associated with the initial five days of withdrawal symptoms. If you're looking for something to reduce the anguish of withdrawal, follow the Thomas Recipe and add in 50 grams per day of Sodium Abscorbate, it is supposed to be fantastic for withdrawal.

I figured that I think it's just that pill intake, a mind screw over.
