What's the thomas recipe for opiate addiction and why is it named that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opiate withdrawal: "thomas recipe" appears to be a protocol developed by non-physicians (named "thomas") to withdraw from opiates. It involves benzodiazepines (which don't have cross-tolerance with opiates), certain nutrients, imodium, (loperamide) etc. You would probably be safer treated by physicians trained in addiction medicine.
