"Carbohydrates"
Although unable to cope with the severity of the withdrawal symptoms,
it doubtless removed the craving for the drug in the majority of
cases.
The role of glucose in coping with the abstinence symptoms can thus be
understood. By this treatment, the ultimate effect seems to be the
restoration of the water balance. Therefore, any drug that confers a
fluid-retaining power to the blood would be expected to have good
effect. Carbohydrates in general and glucose in particular are known
to possess this water-retention capacity. Glucose, therefore, in
addition to stocking the liver with glycogen to enable it to cope with
the unusual strain on this organ during the process of elimination of
morphine, etc., helps the retention of water in the blood, and keeps
up the blood hydration level to its normal value. From the above
consideration, it may be concluded that lecithin tones up the nerves
of the addicts by supplying the lipophosphates, and glucose helps to
restore the disturbed water balance. It is, therefore, not difficult
to see how these two together produce the desired effect in removing
the drug craving and alleviating abstinence symptoms in opium addicts.
