ADDICTS AND DIET

Re: InSite Works, Anne Mullens, July 28.

It seems that diet and exercise is carefully left out of treatments 
for drug addicts. A recent study from France states that giving iron 
supplements to people with ADHD has the same results as Ritalin. Why 
not insist that drug addicts be given dietary counselling, and then 
supply vitamins and minerals along with clean needles?
