 There are powerful nutritional tools for healing, accessible to almost every single struggling person, that have been virtually ignored and at times slandered by the powers-that-be in the mental health and addiction treatment world. As far back as the 1950s Bill W himself, (the co-founder of AA), as well as pioneers in the field of nutritional psychiatry (originally called Orthomolecular Psychiatry) experienced the power of nutrient therapy to decrease cravings for alcohol, and reduce symptoms of schizophrenia. He was actually the person who popularized the use of the name vitamin B3, as opposed to niacin. Studies were done and replicated. High dose vitamin C was validated in the 1970s as a powerful antidote to heroin withdrawal symptoms. In 1966 Dr. Harry Salzar identified  that 95% of people with alcohol use disorders tested positive for Reactive Hypoglycemia when given a 5 hour Glucose Tolerance Test. Current treatment programs who use this test find the same thing. This has dramatic implications for cravings and relapse.  James Milam in Under the Influence stresses how blood sugar control is crucial to successful recovery. In 1983, Ohio Chief Probation Officer, Barbara Stitt published the book, Food, Teens and Behavior, which documented the relationship between poor food intake and violent crime in her juvenile population.
