Answer 1

Try bee pollen and/or bee royal jelly. They are loaded with the B vitamins and will give you a natural boost of energy. You could also try Royal Energy Tea from www.beeroyalproducts.com. It is green tea, bee pollen and freeze dried raw honey.

Congradulations on beating your addiction!! It is very difficult to beat an addiction. Just so you know their will be people out here rooting for you and praying for you.

Answer 2

You can start taking all natural food derived vitamins like Garden of Life it will give you a boost of energy plus you're giving your body the nutrients it needs. Get a vitamin with pantothenic acid it is essential for the adrenal glands and reduces stress.There is this stuff called Emergen-C it has vitamin C and B vitamins which can give you the same energy boost as a cup of coffee. Siberian Ginseng is said to help with cocaine withdrawal and energy. Green tea, Co Q10 and bee pollen are also alternatives

Answer 3

You can go to GNC they have alot of products that are great for an energy boost and it's all natural there are plenty products that they sell for energy and many other things. I would recommend that you use Spike which is a energy pill or you can use these tablets forgot the name now but they disolve in water and if you take all five you will really get energy. Taking a multi-vitimin will also help you get energy you need or getting a whole enery pak program that has supplements that help you get energy and it's also good for your health. So good the GNC which is a general nutrition store they have alot of great natural products for everything even for sexual energy if you need some encouragement.

Answer 4

the cocaine has worn out your liver and adrenal glands. Try a liver cleanse. Also do some research on balanced diet. There is a book available that will give you all the information you need to get a clue on what nutrients your getting and what you not getting. It will tell you what foods to eat to fill in those missing gaps. It will also tell you what a recommended daily diet should have in it. Its a little work but in the end you will have all the tools you need to have all the energy you need or want.

Answer 5

Well, ditto to the person who advised Spirulina. That's a good food supplement. There are lots of juices, powdered mixes, etc. that have Spirulina in them. Knudsen makes a juice called Mega-Green that's very tasty.

Eluthero, aka Siberian Ginseng, is a good tonic and long-term energy and stamina supporter. Unlike the other Ginsengs, it can be taken without affect to hormones.

Bee products also supply energy safely: pollen, propylis & royal jelly, as well as honey.

Eat lots of light foods - raw veggies & fruits - and avoid the heavy ones - fried potatoes, breaded meat, sugary snacks, nuts cooked in oil. 80% of our energy is spent on the digestive process so the lighter we eat, the more energy we have to spare.

STAY AWAY from SUGAR. Although it perks you up for a few minutes, it will drag you down for an hour or more after consuming.

I take a supplement combining Ginkgo biloba, Gotu kola and Ginseng. It gives me a little energy, and improves my recall, without stressing my adrenals like caffeine would.

Congratulations on your continuing recovery!

Answer 6

CONGRATULATIONS!!! First up tell yourself how absolutely bloody cooooool you are!!!

Second, gets some easily digestible iron into you. Go to the Health Food store and ask them for some Spirulina tablets (Hawaiin Pacifica Brand is the best one). They are a sea vegetable compressed into tablet, totally chemical and additive free, which are absolutely loaded with easily digestible iron and protein. Just what you need to increase your energy, stamina and immunity levels. It should cost you about $25.00 for A bottle of 100 tablets. You won't believe it until you try it. These tablets are absolutely marvellous. Start with just one or two and increase on a weekly basis, otherwise you'll get lots of bloating and gas and tummy pains. Make sure you drink heaps of water with them too. I'm so happy for you that you have reclaimed your life!!! It's so liberating and empowering, isn't it. GOOD ON YOU.



CHEERS & GOOD HEALTH


**** Anytime, just take one step at a time, you will make it. Don't be too hard on yourself. Just feed your body good stuff like spirulina and I promise your body will look after you!!!****

UNBELIEVABLY GOOD FOR ENERGY LEVELS AND GOOD HEALTH. TOTALLY ORGANIC******

Answer 7

In addition to the other good suggestions, using things that help detoxify your system is a good way to go. The most simple one that comes to mind is soaking in a bath with Epsom salts (inexpensive and soothing). There are many more that your local health food store can suggest and you don't have to say what you are detoxing from.
