Curing the Root Cause of Alcoholism
(PRWEB) November 4, 2005
From a biochemical standpoint, alcohol changes mood and behavior while also impairing physical and emotional health. Essentially, alcohol metabolism (and detoxification of its by-products) places extreme demands on the body. It exhausts vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, enzymes, hormones, and amino acids, thus creating deficiencies in the body’s biochemistry. The result is various physical and psychological illnesses, one of which is the addiction itself!
Alcoholism is reaching epidemic numbers despite billions of dollars on conventional gene related and drug-based research. These conventional methods address the well-established and defined biochemical root causes of addictive biochemistry (a biochemical genetic predisposition) and the damage that alcohol toxicity inflicts on the body and mind, which produces alcohol addiction. Many illnesses and symptoms accompany both active and former problem/chronic drinking such as depression, anxiety, mental and physical fatigue, mood swings, hypothyroidism and hypoglycemia.
The only known method of healing addictive biochemistry, and the superior method of addressing all metabolism disorders, is through the principles of orthomolecular medicine.
Orthomolecular medicine is being employed today to cure mental and physical illnesses ranging from schizophrenia to arthritis and it is the leader in alcoholism treatments, successfully treating alcoholism through addressing the root biochemical cause of alcoholism.
Alcoholism is associated with specific genetic and biochemical abnormalities, which are causal or contributing factors of the disease. Specific deficiencies and imbalances in brain chemistry and other biochemical processes of the body comprise the root cause of alcoholism. In the orthomolecular view, an alcoholism treatment must address the effects of alcoholism and the root cause of alcoholism symptoms. The treatment must include the provision of vitamins, amino acids, trace elements and fatty acids in amounts sufficient to correct these biochemical abnormalities.
Orthomolecular medicine, as conceptualized by double Nobel laureate, Linus Pauling, “aims to restore the optimum ecological environment for the body’s cells by correcting imbalances or deficiencies on the molecular level, based on individual biochemistry, using natural substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes, hormones and essential fatty acids.”
Because these methods address the nutritional deficiencies that are known to be the root cause of alcoholism, they are therapeutic in preventing and successfully treating alcoholism. When the body and mind heal and the genetic markers of addictive biochemistry are addressed, the addiction is cured.
Well-trained practitioners have produced methods to cure alcoholism through addressing the genetic influences as well as the root cause of long-term alcohol toxicity, which seats the addiction and encourages people to self-medicate with alcohol. These methods address the genetic markers of alcoholism, uproot addictive biochemistry and replace it with a healthy one. In fact, orthomolecular treatment has been proven superior to all other treatments/approaches including psychiatry, drug-centric methods, rehabilitation centers, AA and the 12 Steps.
‘The 101 Program’®, facilitated by the Alternative Approaches to end Alcohol Abuse organization, comprehensively addresses each known damaged bio-pathway, responsible for the addiction, with proven orthomolecular alcoholism treatments. These treatments detox the body and mind, correct brain chemistry, heal all organs afflicted and bring the body naturally back into balance. It is a common sense and effective approach to curing alcoholism and the effects of alcoholism.
