The Hypoascorbemia-Kwashiorkor Approach to Drug Addiction...
Rated May 24 2008 • 2 reviews • health, drugs, alternative health, substance abuse • seanet.com
This is a detox approach for opiate addiction that involves absolutely no narcotics. This particular paper documents the efforts of two doctors to treat 30 opiate addicted patients with megadoses of sodium ascorbate. They had a 100% success rate. All of the addicts involved in this study, no matter what opiate they'd been using, were able to detoxify their bodies without the ususal symptoms of withdrawl.
I've seen this sodium ascorbate detox work in real life. It's really quite amazing, especially when considering the amount of pain that's normally involved with opiate withdrawl. As the authors of this study pointed out, the use of methadone to treat opiate addiction merely substitutes a legal drug for an illicit one; but using sodium ascorbate actually cures the body of its need for opiates. The working hypothesis is that a confirmed opiate addict will possess certain genetic and multimalnutritional dysfunctions that amount to the presence of something called Hypoascorbemia-Kwashiorkor Syndrome.
"By fully correcting this Hypoascorbemia-Kwashiorkor Syndrome, we are able to take the addicts off heroin or methadone, without the appearance of withdrawal symptoms. If during the period of full correction they take a "fix," it is immediately detoxified or otherwise handled by the body so that no "high" occurs. It is like injecting pure water provided the dosage of ascorbate is high enough.
The general improvement in the well-being of the addicts within 12 to 24 hours after beginning sodium ascorbate detoxification is striking. It is demonstrated by improved mental alertness and visual acuity; appetite is returning, and the addict is amazed that treatment is working without the use of another narcotic."

Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight | Video on TED.com
Rated May 20 2008 • 74 reviews • health, neuroscience, alternative health, videos, spirituality • ted.com
I've found the entire collection of videos here at TED to be worthwhile in some regard, but this video is simply amazing. It features Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist who shares her experience of nirvana that coincided with the occurrence of a massive stroke. As the stroke progressively shut down the left hemisphere of her brain, she received a life altering glimpse of an entirely right brained universe.
She describes the universe of the right brain as a collage of sensory impressions that exist purely in the moment, a deeply peaceful place where we understand that the entire human family exists as one. And that our left hemisphere is responsible for categorizing and organizing all of the information that accumulates through the right side, so that we can effectively communicate in linear data streams through things like movement, language and speech. The left side of the brain is concerned solely with past and future events, and as Dr. Taylor explains, it's also where we develop a sense of being separate from the rest of our human family, and from the unity of the world around us. All of which are very powerful and intriguing ideas.
"Who are we? We are the life force power of the universe, with manual dexterity and two cognitive minds. And we have the power to choose, moment by moment, who and how we want to be in the world. (...) I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be."
(Many thanks to Perry2801 for sending this woman's important message my way.)
