The use of cocaine stimulates and inhibits chemicals of the brain called neurotransmitters. This leads to depletion and imbalance of brain chemicals. There are many treatments for cocaine withdrawal that attempt to restore balance and thereby support abstinence thereafter.

Dr. Bob is mentioned on this web site many times. He was a M.D. internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, M.D. psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years. He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away. He treated addicts 7 decades.

Dr. Bob's ideas were to improve the levels of neurotransmitters, support nerve regeneration, and improve metabolism of the brain.

1. Dr. Bob advised at least 500 mg of vitamin B5 each day in divided doses. Vitamin B5 is essentially the vitamin that runs the brain. It is also needed to metabolize choline. The brain uses choline to build and restore neurotransmitters. Restoring neurotransmitter levels, when they are depleted as can happen in cocaine use helps to restore balance in the brain. You can read more about vitamin B5 on this web site in the article called, "Necessity of Vitamin B-5 and Anti-aging of the Brain Tissues."

2. Dr. Bob advised 250 mg in the AM and PM of cytidine-choline, also called CDP choline. This is a concentrated form of choline. Choline helps to support nerve regeneration. This form of choline is used in Europe for head trauma cases. It is sold as a supplement in the United States. Dr. Bob recommended combining the cytidine-choline with the vitamin B5.

3. Dr. Bob advised 500 mg of L-Pyroglutamate acid daily. It is an amino acid, which is found in meat, vegetables, and dairy products. It is associated with activity and production of several neurotransmitters. It essentially can improve the brain and probably works best in combination with choline and vitamin B5.

4. Dr. Bob advised Maxilife multivitamin and mineral daily. A multivitamin and mineral supply needed cofactors for the brain. Dr. Bob always recommended a multivitamin and mineral in combination with other supplements. He advised Maxilife because it had correct doses for deficiencies and Dr. Bob found many addicts were deficient. Thus Maxilife is like insurance for addicts that may be deficient and not even know it.

The use of drugs often depletes the brain of neurotransmitters and creates chemical imbalances. To recover from the use of drugs, these problems need to be understood and addressed. Improving the brain and restoring chemical balance are vital in the process of gaining health and supporting abstinence. We also recommend you read the articles in the heroin section where detox, brain regeneration, understanding the nature of chemical imbalances, and many other ideas are discussed. Good luck to all.


Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, "almost all supplement companies produce poor quality." You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval. Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
