Heroin Use Leads to Loss of Muscle
Heroin users tend to not eat enough. This means they are not getting enough protein. Protein is what the body uses to build almost all the tissues such as organs, muscles, enzymes, and other tissue. Therefore heroin addicts, who usually do not eat enough, will lose muscle, not build enough enzymes, and lose tissue from vital organs such as the liver. Rebuilding and growing lean tissue and other aspects of protein function are vital to regenerate in a heroin user who has stopped or is still using heroin.
Eating protein such as meats, diary, fish and so on are not an efficient method for a heroin addict to restore protein back to the body. The reason is the heroin addict's body is inefficient from drug use and too much animal and diary protein can overload the body and become toxic. Vegetable proteins are excellent but they are not high quality proteins and an addict needs the highest quality proteins to rebuild his systems in the body.
Dr. Bob is mentioned many times on this web site. He was a healer and M.D. for 65 years and a diabetic who lived to 108 years. He started treating addicts in the 1930's and he continued to treat them into the 1990's. He advised ion-exchanged whey protein concentrate. Whey protein is a high quality protein that aids the body in rebuilding and growing. It is also easy on the digestion and does not lead to toxic overload. Dr. Bob suggested an addict needed whey protein shakes 3 times a day when first starting its use. Dr. Bob also advised adding soy powder high in isoflavone to the whey concentrate. Soy has many beneficial effects, including boosting immunity and improving metabolism, which benefits addicts. Dr. Bob said the ratio of the protein shake is 2 parts whey to 1 part soy. He also suggested using the sweetener stevia, which is a natural herb and has many beneficial aspects to the body.
In conclusion, an addict needs to rebuild his body. Protein is what the body needs to accomplish the rebuilding and regrowing of tissue. High quality protein is needed that does not overtax the body. Whey concentrate in combination with soy powder supplies the body with necessary high quality protein.
 
"Heroin users tend to not eat enough" which DOES not mean it causes loss of muscle. You know what? Ciggarette smokers tend to buy ciggerettes repeatedly, leading to a loss of money, that doesnt mean ciggarettes cause money loss. And you know what? that shit is a flat out lie, opiates DO NOT cause the body to be less able to handle things, they are non toxic, the only thing they may do is cause constipation which is avoidable. Conceivably, an idiot like that quack doctor selling protein pills as an "addict cure" could think since you get a little back loged you wont eat, and sometimes it happens, you take something like imodium you will get the same thing, take a laxitive and your fine. This is so stupid, there are HUNDREDS of documennts that prove opiates dont do that, he never mentioned any one but heroin ,which makes me think hes demonizing it to capitalize on his snake oil pills

Such isolation is sometimes bitter, but I do not regret being cut off from the understanding and sympathy of other men.
I lose something by it,to be sure, but I am compensated for it in being rendered independent of the customs,
opinions and prejudices of others, and am not tempted to rest my peace of mind upon such shifting foundations.

TripDoc beat me to it - the first line says that heroin users tend to not eat enough, so everything after that has NOTHING to do with heroin, but rather the effects of not eating enough.. I don't know why the ell they even mentioned heroin..
The title of that document is "Heroin Use Leads to Loss of Muscle"... how fucking lame!
