Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'm sure I remember a good article in either an old European Journal of Herbal Medicine, or a British Journal of Phytotherapy. I've not got them here, can anyone else find this?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hi , Postletwaithe's article in the EJHM Vol.1, No2 (summer 1994) would be a good resource, if this book of his isn't out yet. all the best Sabine Re: RE:heroin addiction > Hi > Postlethwaite an ex-member was writing a book re addiction that was > due to go to print about a yr or so ago. chris _________________________________________________________________ > > Is your PC infected?

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi This is my first posting onto this site. I have been a 'lurker' up to now not daring to raise my lowly student head. This is to say hi and that we missed you at Conference but gave an almighty cheer when your name was called out as we did for Tami as well, long years of happy and health-filled practise to you both. Just on addiction, recovery is spirit based (as is all healing) but recovery from addiction especially so, in fact the talking therapies generally don't have great success with addiction although they help at certain points. The AA programmes are based on the 12 step recovery programme and most of the recovery programmes for other substances and behavoural abuses are based on the AA one with special adaptation for the unique aspects of the addiction. Hopefully the young man in question will have access to these kind of programmes. There are two wonderful books written on this, two authors Donna Cunningham and can't remember the other called The Spiritual Dimensions of Healing Addictions, Parts I and II. It uses meditation, crystals, flower essences and gem elixirs, It's not exactly herbs but the flower essences are very helpful and supportive and the books give great background to the evolution of our species into the exteme states of addiction we find ourselves in today. The books are free of organised religion in particular their tendencies to apportion blame and therefore appeals greatly to younger people, a lot of whom are almost entirely disillusioned with contemporary life. In the meantime however, as you know best bet would be protect his organs which will have taken a beating, lots of good nutrition, some nervines and some willpower boosting herbs. and of course most important treat the mammy, as she will no doubt be anxious and concerned about her son, so lots of support there too to help her help him. Maybe suggest she goes and talks to somebody as she will need support as well.
