Guest guest Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi everyone, An " old hippie " friend has requested support in breaking a 25+ year habit. I'm clueless about herbs, homeopathics etc. that might help with his cravings and detox but told him I would ask you wise and wonderful people. Any ideas or words of wisdom on this? He says it's harder than he expected. I've suggested a liver cleanse and a couple of Bach Flower Remedies for support, but can you suggest anything else? I appreciate your feedback. TIA!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 You guys will all be yelling at me because I am going to suggest this for a gazillion uses. It is my latest passion. No, it is not AFA algae, or anything else to ingest. And I am not selling it either, lol. It is Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT for short. I had been aware of it for several years, but never had an opportunity to fully experience the power of it till a few weeks ago. Folks, this works, it is easy to learn, it is profoundly empowering, and it is free. Whatever ails you, physical, mental or emotional, a few harmless rounds of tapping acupressure points while repeating certain statements will make anything else you do more effective. I walked into the class exhausted and frazzled and walked out feeling rested, calm and focused. This is a technique I want to learn in order to teach it. Watch out, she's on a mission.

I was seriously looking into the LifeWave patches for that reason, but I'd rather empower people directly. Actually, let's make that another post.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 A drug is a drug is a drug. I had to go into treatment for my alcohol addiction. Once I got throught the detox I was fine and haven't had a craving since. I couldn't do it without help. There are a lot of good detoxes out there and I don't think they can take legal action if you go into a detox. That's the best I can offer. And then I went to meetings for a few years just to make sure I wouldn't pick up again. m Hi everyone,An "old hippie" friend has requested support in breaking a 25+ year habit.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Maybe we should ask the question: What is the addict getting out of the addiction, and how can he get the same feeling without the substance? And: what physical damage has occurred as a result of the addiction, and how can we best repair that? As for the feeling part, you guys will all be yelling at me because I am going to suggest this for a gazillion uses. It is my latest passion. No, it is not AFA* algae, or anything else to ingest.

As for the damage done physically, I agree Michelle, start with a liver cleanse! The poor thing has been dealing with THC for years.. Ien in the Kootenays*****************************Actually, AFA would most likely be very helpful too. Covers all nutritional needs and has that extra feel-good factor: PEA.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hey, Tapping is wonderful. I don't use it enough, but it works along the meridians of chinese medicine (acupuncture/accupressure) And passion is a good thing, never let anyone make you give it up!-Ieneke van Houten [ienvan]Re: Cannabis Detox Support?

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Thanks everyone! I'll pass on the info. I've been really drawn to the EFT work too, but haven't yet really explored it. I'm always eager to learn new things and add a little something extra to my " medicine bag " . Sounds like something you need to be physically present to do though, this " tapping " on meridians. I'm a long time Hypnotherapist and love how I can do it over the phone at any distance. But, for those resistant to Hypnotherapy, the " tapping " sounds very wonderful indeed. Thanks again!

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 You could do EFT over the phone by telling the person on the phone where to tap and talk them through the routine. When I've seen a therapist for EFT in person, she talks me through it and I do the tapping on myself. Linda - Michelle Friday, May 13, 2005 6:04 AM Re: Cannabis Detox Support? Thanks everyone!
