I pray for my grandson to continue his journey to detoxing from meth successfully and to never be tempted by this evil again, to lean on God’s strength and stay with it!
I too am thankful that your grandson is Detoxing from meth. ARGH, the poisons that people subject themselves to assuming that any such crap can fix their problems, when they only destroy the person's life. - How exactly is he Detoxing?
Cold turkey and a a bit of 420 when restless legs and anxiety get bad. He is determined and sick of being a slave. I send him motivational stuff I find on Pinterest every day. The extreme fatigue is finally getting better.
Why I asked "How exactly is he Detoxing?" - spent 40 yrs. in Acute sick-care, where as a nurse I worked tirelessly helping people regain their God-created health via Non-drug means. So "doing it cold-turkey" in this case is really harsh.
Would you be willing ? to help your grandson by sending him these -
Meth use disrupts the gut microbiome, leading to a host of health problems. Therefore, probiotic supplementation can help restore the balance of gut flora, supporting digestion, bolstering the immune system, & influencing mood and behavior. One of the best ways is drinking Kefir (a cultured, fermented milk product.) much Higher in beneficial bacteria, than is yogurt. Kefir has been used for 1000 years. While Yogurt usually lists 3-5 kinds of bacteria, otoh Kefir has 12 Live Active Cultures. An excellent example is Strawberry Low Fat Kefir from cow's or goat's milk. --- at https://traderjoesrants.com/2019/05/05/trader-joes-whole-milk-kefir/ - (Note: the Lifeway-brand sold elsewhere is more expensive). Start with 2 ozs. until the body adjusts to it working as by God designed, & later increase in a Smoothie adding various seeds.
Prioritize lean proteins, made up of amino acids, the body's building blocks. They play a vital role in the production of neurotransmitters, the brain's chemical messengers. One such neurotransmitter is dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone. The amino acid tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine, and supplementing with it can help restore the brain’s dopamine levels, reduce cravings and improve mood. Ample lean proteins like chicken, turkey, fish, and legumes can aid in repairing tissues damaged by meth use and support brain health.
choose Complex carbohydrates in whole grains, & vegetables not only provide energy but also are rich in dietary fiber, & antioxidants that aid detoxification and support overall health.
Healthy fats. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in tiny fish, walnuts, flaxseeds & others. Chronic meth use destroys the brain in 10 regions (I posted elsewhere here). Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat that the body cannot produce on its own. They are essential for heart health, cognitive function, and reducing inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA & DHA are well-researched & found helpful for their anti-inflammatory properties and their role in brain health.

Please understand that your grandson's "restless legs & bad anxiety & extreme fatigue" are due also because he Lacks enough magnesium. As a CC-nurse, I shared why Magnesium is absolutely essential in order for the Heart to relax in between beats/contractions https://communities.win/c/Nutrients/p/15JU7untkU/feel-your-heartrhythm-needs-ca-m/c
Meth wreaks havoc on the nervous system, & the B vitamins, particularly B9/Methyl-folate & B12/Methylcobalamin, both known for their neuro-Protective effects. They help repair the damaged nerves, restore neurotransmitter balance, and mitigate the cognitive deficits associated with prolonged meth use. Also they are involved in other tasks, from energy production and red blood cell formation to ensuring the healthy functioning of the brain and nervous system.
Meth use leads to oxidative stress, a state of imbalance between free radicals & antioxidants in the body. This imbalance contributes to a host of health issues, including various chronic diseases & premature aging. As a powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C combats oxidative stress, boosts the immune system, protects against cardiovascular disease, and enhances iron absorption. Your best friends highest in C are fruits, starting with common KIWI 167mg in 1 cup also good as you get its seeds.
Also in 1 cup = Orange Juice 124mg, Strawberries 97mg, Pink Grapefruit Juice 94mg, Pineapple about 80mg, Tangerine Juice 77mg, Cantaloupe Melon 65mg, and over 100 others https://tools.myfooddata.com/nutrient-ranking-tool/Vitamin-C/Fruits/Highest
