"During the Vedic period, Methi (or meth) was the pole with which sacrificial horses were tied. The wild variety of Methikaa, during that period, was known as Ahittha and was fed to horses.

According to Maadhava Dravyaguna, Methikaa harmonizes all body functions, alleviates rheumatic affections and possesses digestive and laxative properties.

"Each new generation of Americans either chooses a favorite drug or creates one: marijuana and LSD and speed in the '60s and '70s, PCP and crack in the '80s, ecstasy and crystal meth in recent years. Alcohol is of course the constant. The War on Drugs will likely never be won because Americans don't want it to be won. But even within that context of the ongoing love affair of Americans with their substances, the SSRI phenomenon has been exceptional in the rapidity of its penetration into the masses. Prozac was blessed by having a great opening act: Valium." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"And while the lives of those addicted to hard drugs such as crack or heroin or crystal meth look drastically different than the lives of those who use or abuse drugs without being hooked, the same principles apply to their brains. Which is to say that the lessons of Odyssey House apply to anyone who struggles with self-control, including those who think of themselves as having addictive personalities. Scientists are now characterizing behavior such as gambling, compulsive shopping, and even overeating in the same biological terms they use to explain substance abuse." - John J.

"Although cocaine and meth act via different mechanisms in the body, a similar protein- and vegetable-rich diet will likely be of benefit. Helpful Supplements While supplements by themselves are not a cure for alcoholism or drug abuse, they can help to correct biochemistry and reduce cravings. They are best used in combination with other recovery programs and therapies, including better eating habits, counseling, and AA meetings. Supplements for Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse B-complex.

"Yet the FDA happily keeps Sudafed available as an over-the-counter drug, even though banning it could help stop the manufacture and trade of meth. It's almost like allowing pharmacies to sell crack cocaine ingredients over the counter, enabling children to buy them and make their own crack at home. Actually, this isn't far from the truth: The Parke-Davis company once promoted and sold cocaine. It even produced a "cocaine injection kit" complete with a syringe for shooting up.

"In our public schools, children are routinely dissuaded from taking crack cocaine, meth, or heroin, yet they are put on powerful mind-altering narcotics at the request of school administrators, counselors, and even teachers! Those amphetamines, of course, are the ones used to "treat" ADHD—a disease that's primarily characterized by any behavior the school authorities don't like. Drugs like Ritalin, in my opinion, have become chemical leashes that shut down the natural curiosity, energy, and active minds of young children." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The severe physical consequences of meth, such as premature aging and rotting teeth, are caused by severe nutritional deficiencies (the result of addicts' not eating), but they may also be related to how the drug's activity depletes nutrients.

"It's like a tasting menu for con artists and grifters, so tempting that in some cities drug dealers have turned to mortgage fraud, plaguing lower-income neighborhoods with crooked mortgages rather than crystal meth.8 Elsewhere, it was reported that lenders made millions in mortgage loans to inmates of the Colorado prison system. A whole group of miscreants issuing out of the Rocky Mountain state pen were able to buy 17 houses for inflated prices and take away $2.1 million in excess loan proceeds.9 And it was exactly at that moment?" - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"Cocaine and meth can cause blurred vision, seizures, brain damage, heart attacks, fatal kidney and lung diseases, coma, and sudden death. How Do Addictions Begin? We live in a drug-oriented society, where pills are routinely sold, prescribed, and assumed to solve our problems, from heartburn to erectile dysfunction.
