TL;DR: The present pilot study investigated the use of megadoses of ascorbic acid as sodium accurate, multivitamins, and mineral supplements in the treatment of drug withdrawal symptoms.
Abstract: Since its inception in 1968, the San Francisco Drug Treatment Program, Inc., has responded to the mental and physical health needs of narcotic addicts. The search for safer, cost-effective detoxification alternatives grew from the controversial use of methadone and propoxyphene napsylate (Darvon N R) and has led to an exploration of nontraditional methods of detoxification which would address the poor nutritional habits of narcotic addicts. The present pilot study investigated the use of megadoses of ascorbic acid as sodium accurate, multivitamins, and mineral supplements in the treatment of drug withdrawal symptoms. A total of 227 subjects were compared; 30 subjects utilizing the ascorbic detoxification procedure, 186 subjects utilizing symptomatic relief medications,
TL;DR: Trichocereus pachanoi is a smooth, ribbed, comparatively slender, night-blooming, columnar species of cactus which was located in Andean Ecuador by Britton and Rose in 1920; in 1959 the German botanist Curt Backeberg extended this area to include northern Peru and Bolivia as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Although only more recently studied than the well known mescaline-containing peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii) of North America, the use of mescalinecontaining Cactaccae in South America now appears to be far older archeologically. Four Andean Trichocereus species contain the hallucinogenic drug mescaline: 7'. macrogonus; T. terscbeckii; T. werdermannianus; and T. pachanoi. Of these, the last is the most important ethnographically. Trichocereus pachanoi is a smooth, ribbed, comparatively slender, night-blooming, columnar species of cactus which was located in Andean Ecuador by Britton and Rose in 1920; in 1959 the German botanist Curt Backeberg extended this area to include northern Peru and Bolivia. In Peru this Trichocereus is known in folk medicine as \"San Pedro\" and in Ecuador as aguacolla. San Pedro als forms a part of the hallucinogenic drink cimora, which also includes other Cactaceae and a datura. The mescaline content of San Pedro is about 0.12 percent of the green plant and two percent when dried. In 1939 the Swedish pharmacologist Stig Agurell discovered seven other alkaloids in the plant but these occur in insignificant quantities. Peruvian medicine men most commonly use a sevenribbed San Pedro cactus in their shamanistic cures. But the rarer four-ribbed specimens, like a four-leaved clover, are regarded as especially lucky and powerful, because these symbolize the \"four winds\" and \"four
