Dear Bill,
I hope you are fine, I am well.
Thank you for posting our news on facebook, I wanted to see it but I couldn’t find it. Please send me the address that you are using for facebook.
I have no activities in social media except Congress 60 website as well. I think if I get involved in social media it will be time consuming. I can’t even answer unknown phone calls at the moment because doing that would take all of my time.
As I mentioned before the co-guide examinations will take place tomorrow (Thursday May fourth). Approximately 3200 volunteers enrolled for this examination. It will be held at 26 centers all around Iran.
All the candidates are travelers and co-travelers of congress 60 and it is interesting that some of the physicians’ legion members enrolled for the examination as well .
Today I added the last questions of the exam to the paper with help of others.
The examination is consisted of 40 worldview questions and 31 technical (how to determine OT consumption according to the drug of use) questions.
These questions are selected of all the papers of congress 60 and educational CDs (40 educational CDs were selected for the exam). Each CD is about one hour speech.
Hopefully out of 3200 individual we would be able to have 300 co-guides.
The 14 article book is ready to be printed. I named the book “14 articles” and it is about addiction hypothesis and its solve.
As I mentioned before, our smoking cessation study, our interviews and your papers on Congress 60 is a part of the book.
I have asked Ehsan to start the translation and he has started. I will send the first article as soon as it is ready to take benefit of your comments on it. I have decided to send it one by one to you.
Dear Bill, The research center of drug control of Iran with cooperation of a local university decided to do a research on retain rate of DST with OT. This will be carried out for one year after treatment completion. (our second travelers are not using any alcohols or psychoactive pills).
I am certain this research will indicate that our efficiency is 10 times more than other international methods.
I was hoping to do a joint research with Dr. Best and his colleagues so that research could shed light on the darkness of addiction. But unfortunately their university didn’t accept and I have no news about our friends since then.
Anyway I hope they are fine.
Friends and brothers on heaven and earth forever
Hossein
