Pfeiffer, Nutrition and Mental illness 1988, p31, the addiction quote: Having tested twelve hard-core drug addicts and found them to be high in histamine, we voice the strong opinion that more can be done to correct biochemical imbalance in order to correct the drug addict. We know that heroin and methadone are both strong histamine releasing agents. The histadelic person is depressed and compulsive, and has abnormal thinking. There-fore, heroin, methadone, uppers, downers, alcohol, and sugar all are often craved to compensate for these feelings. The compulsive day-in-day-out drinker of alcohol is usually found to be histadelic. Moderation must be taught tactfully to these individuals as they slowly but surely improve on the nutritional program Probably worthwhile linking this as a general disclaimer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecular_psychiatry https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecular_psychiatry
