Smoking...are there any known chemical or natural(Especially Natural) Detoxifiers for nicotine?

Question

there are detoxifiers for heroine, and other very addictive drugs out there on the street. But I feel, that nicotine is the worst drug in creation. Is there no natural or chemical detoxifiers..even any that they have not released yet. People want to substitute "the patch" which is just nicotine in another form. What about helping us to completely detoxify the drug nicotine from our systems all together instead of swapping one form for another. Wouldn't this be a more intelligent approach to helping people quit?

Answer 1

There is a natural detoxifier- water. It helps speed the bodies' detox and lessens nicotine cravings. Drinking fruit juices and eating small, regularly intervalled meals also helps during detox.

THe body is free of nicotine about 72 hours after quitting, so it's not really that bad (in perspective, but during is no fun at all!).

Answer 2

Hi,

Great post! Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, and I thought I wasn't addicted!

Here's what I tried before finding success: hypnosis, those fake cigaretts, the nicotine patch, and group therapy....none worked.

I finally tried this HERBAL patch I bought 6 months ago on the net. They claim a 97% success rate. Well, it worked! They had a sweet deal which was a free 10 day trial for only $3.95 including shipping (it's regularly $53 for 10 days)!

I don't know if they still have that deal, but it's worth a try.

Good Luck

If you really want to quit, try dextromethorphan at around 105 mg 2x a day, skipping a day or two in between, for about a week. this chemical is the active cough suppressor in robitussin, only get the robitussin cough gels. i know this seems outlandish and ridiculous but its the only way i quit smoking.

there is a bunch of info on dextromethorphan on the internet, type "dxm" into a search engine, but erowid.org, wikipedia, third plateau, etc are good places to research this drug.

in short, it eliminates nicotine cravings through a combination agonism of the nmda, sigma, and serotonergic receptors in the brain, and antagonism of the nicotinic receptor. give it a day or two rest between dosing so your body can recover a little, and it will have effects in your system for a few days anyway.

good luck, and beware, you will feel 'high' (its a dissociated stoned feeling), as it is a moderately powerful dissociative drug, and its metabolite, dxo, has stoning properties.

Answer 4

There isn't one. The only way to truly rid yourself of the dependency is to quit cold turkey. Finding some other activity to deal with the new found time you'll have that you used to use smoking helps. A lot of people I know that have quit took up cooking and exercise. Just find some ways to deal with stress besides smoking -- it's the best way and the most proven way. Are you trying to get approved as a non-smoker on a life insurance policy or something?

Answer 5

I advise you when you get a chance read the:

"Staying Healthy with Nutrition"-
Section: Nutritional Program for Nicotine Detoxification, - Elson M. Haas M.D.

It's very clear and helpful.

Answer 6

Brocolli and other cruciform veggies are excellent detoxifiers.
Vitamin C is also very good against nicotine.
