  • When you must eat dinner out, choose salads and other items that contain organic whole foods and NO REFINED SUGAR or CORN SYRUP. 
  • Do your research and consume only sweeteners like Stevia,  Monk Fruit, or Raw, Organic, Unfiltered Honey. Check all ingredient labels as many of these natural sweeteners actually contain synthetic alcohols that can be counterproductive in an anti-addiction protocol.

  • Foods that contain sugar and corn syrup or that have a high glycemic index can cause your body to release large quantities of dopamine which can lead to a dopamine deficiency. This deficiency of dopamine caused by a “sugar crash” can lead to a relapse in people who are trying to overcome an addiction of any kind. This rule about avoiding refined sugars during the withdrawal process is important for anyone who wishes to overcome an addiction naturally. The consumption of refined sugars depletes dopamine reservoirs in the neurons quickly, which leads to the death of dopamine receptors (via dopamine flooding and dopamine drought) which, in turn, makes people susceptible to addictive behavior in a general way.
  • Read the “Ingredients” section on the Nutrition Facts area of product labels to avoid foods that contain any refined SUGARS and CORN SYRUPS.

• Eat a diet that contains a lot of raw, organic fruits and vegetables. Wash all fruits and vegetables to remove bromide and organophosphate residues. Click here to read more about bromide-containing insecticides and organophosphates.

• Avoid white rice and white bread which cause the body to react physiologically similarly to the consumption of refined sugars.

• Avoid coffee and other high-caffeine drinks (unless you are using caffeine to "switch addictions"). 

• Caffeine can cause a dopaminergic storm similar to what meth addicts experience. It can cause neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain. Instead of drinking coffee, take Mucuna pruriens, a bean that can be cooked and then added to foods like chili soup or even nacho cheese. In Central America Mucuna is colloquially known as Nescafe because it increases wakefulness but without the jittery feelings caused by caffeine.

• Avoid coffee and other high-caffeine drinks unless you plan to “switch addictions” from meth or cocaine to caffeine.

• If you are vegan, switch to a diet that contains animal products until you have control over your addiction. 

• A vegan diet (and even some vegetarian diets that are particularly low in animal products) can predispose people to addictive behaviors because the amino acid profile of vegan and vegetarian diets can lead to dopamine deficiency. A lack of essential amino acids like L-tyrosine is one of the causes of addiction. Click here to read more about how to use amino acid supplements to get rid of an addiction naturally.
