Dropping A Four Year Methamphetamine Addiction Without Any Withdrawal Symptoms

     Julie Bismark (not her real name) was brought to my office three weeks ago by another patient.  Julie, after a four-year methampetamine addiction, wanted to stop.  She had tried many times, and had gone through horrendous withdrawals.  She could not get through the suffering of the withdrawal, and had relapsed each time.  She had been suffering from the skin reaction typical to many meth addicts, itchy red, ugly lesions.  Julie's face had several active ones and many scars.  She was a mess.

   First, I hooked Julie up to a unique microcurrent cranial electric stimulator, an FDA approved medical device that generates sophisticated wave forms.  This amazing little machine triggers a deep state of relaxation in most people, and takes away cravings for addictive drugs, including methamphetamine (and opiates, cocaine, alcohol, barbiturates, and nicotine).  It takes away most of the withdrawal from addictive drugs.

  Second, I strongly recommended she receive a course of megadose intravenous nutrients, which by themselves are also known to be effective in taking away withdrawal symptoms.  Surprising to me, Julie said, "I've been wanting intravenous vitamins, but I didn't know where to go to get them."  Julie took her first treatment right away, taking five treatments in the first seven days, then three treatments the second week and two each the third and fourth week. 

  The first several days, which are usually the most severe part of the withdrawal, were a piece of cake for Julie.  Not only did she have no cravings, and no withdrawal symptoms of any kind, but after three days, the skin lesions were completely healed!

  The physical aspects of the addiction were healed in a few days, totally painlessly.  It is now over 3 weeks, and Julie continues to do remarkably well, with no cravings.   She's just grateful for such an easy way off such a horrible addiction.

   Julie has also used medical cannabis, pursuant to the Compassionate Use Act, as part of her treatment.  Cannabis improves her mood and further reduces anxiety. 

   Addendum 12/22/06.  Julie reports she is free of methamphetamine and doing well.
