Dear Bill,
I am doing well myself and am currently planning and carrying out various activities.
I should also mention that under the current circumstances, I do not expect immediate responses to letters. Of course, my own ability to write and reply to letters may also face challenges.
Now, regarding the concern about relapse and the risk of overdose within Congress 60:
One of the great achievements of the DST method, with its gradual approach, is that the risk of overdose is nearly zero. In my 27 years of working with the DST method using OT medication, I have not encountered even a single reported case of overdose. If there have been any, I am not aware of them.
In Congress 60, the very first thing taught to a person who uses substances is the correct way to consume them. This is because I firmly believe that until a person learns how to use substances properly, they will never learn how to stop using them.
For example, consider someone who begins treatment with a daily intake of 16.5 cc, divided into three doses. After about three months, they may reach a level of 6 cc per day in three doses. If they decide to “slip” or use extra, they might increase from 6 cc to 10 cc—but this would not pose a risk of overdose or death.
Similarly, a person who reaches the final stage of treatment—0.3 cc per day—if they later choose to use more, may increase to at most 1 cc. This, too, would not pose a risk of death, because they have learned both the potency of the substance and their tolerance level.
Now, regarding physicians and Congress 60:
Yes, currently the role of physicians in the DST method is primarily that of a gatekeeper. However, medical examinations, various tests, and follow-ups—including testing all individuals after recovery for substances such as opium, heroin, amphetamines, hashish, methadone, tramadol, benzodiazepines, and B2—are handled by physicians.
It is worth mentioning that when OT medication was first introduced into the addiction treatment process, all physicians strongly opposed it. However, as they witnessed the success of Congress 60’s treatments, they gradually came to accept it. In fact, today, if OT medication were removed from clinics, all physicians and clinic owners would protest against the Ministry of Health—and this has already happened once.
The key point is that physicians do not know a definitive cure for addiction and do not believe in one. This is understandable, as the correct method of treatment was previously unknown and had not truly been discovered. I was able to discover this method 28 years ago and bring individuals to complete recovery.
Currently, Congress 60 collaborates with more than 400 clinics across the country. The physicians in these clinics have gradually learned the DST method, and I hope that one day they will fully master it, so that we can entrust all services, dosage reduction, and the full implementation of the DST method to them.
Additionally, the guides of Congress 60—who are responsible for implementing the DST method—are selected after passing a nationwide examination held every 18 to 24 months. They undergo extensive training. Last year, approximately 12,400 people participated in the Congress 60 exam, and about 20% were accepted. All participants must be members of Congress 60, and each year several physicians from our collaborating clinics also take part in the exam. At present, we also have guides who are physicians.
In these circumstances, I am continuously receiving invitations from different countries for articles and participation in various conferences. Recently, I attended conferences in the Netherlands, Miami, and Japan, and I have also sent my presentation video on addiction as well as fentanyl.
Regarding other diseases and pharmaceutical networks, various invitations have been made, some of which I will accept if they are important.
Additionally, your article—translated into Persian by dear Ehsan—is being reproduced and distributed among Congress 60 members and specialists. However, since we did not have permission to publish the English version, we have taken no action on that.
For some time, the internet was also down, but it has recently started to be restored. This issue had created problems for our publication activities, but it is now being resolved.
Dear Bill, I will keep this message short and once again pray for your health and well-being.
Your lifelong friend and brother, in earth and heaven,
Hossein
