Addiction Therapy for Drugs, Alcohol, Caffeine, and Sugar

- One incoherent patient received 30,000 mg of vitamin C. In 45 minutes he could hold a normal conversation.
- After 12 to 24 hours, appetite started to return, mental alertness and visual acuity were improved.
- Patient was often amazed that treatment worked without another narcotic.
- After 2 or 3 days, patient felt fine, and he or she could sleep.
- One patient took 45,000 mg of sodium ascorbate in milk. Five hours later, he took a heavy dose of heroin but felt no drug effect. Remarkably, vitamin C had stopped the desire for drugs. (1)
To repeat: Libby and Stone demonstrated a simple but effective method of temporarily curing 30 out of 30 drug addicts regardless of the type of drug. Their cure is temporary since patients could be followed for only about 30 days. This did not give time to evaluate and treat the basic causes of the addictions. However, treatment for basic causes can proceed with greater expectation of success since the patients have become properly nourished.
