When I was frantically
looking up effective treatments for Alcoholism for a family member, I learned
that in Europe they don’t rely on sheer will power or god’s mercy like
Americans do. Europeans use Naltrexone to cut the grip alcohol has on their
ability to remain sober. Naltrexone is taken by prescription under a doctor’s
supervision. It basically makes drugs and alcohol less appealing by eliminating
the craving. Once you’ve quit drinking, you start taking Naltrexone. Those who
want to drink can drink while on the medication, you won’t drink as much
because you won’t feel the need. Naltrexone makes moderation possible. See a
doctor to assess whether you and your liver are healthy enough to start use of
this medication.
Supports for your sobriety are begun by cleansing
and detoxing your system. Spirulina and/or chlorella are good for detoxing and
are nutritious super-foods. Stop drinking and eating sugar and junk foods. Take
herbs that heal and support your body such as Milk Thistle 250mg to repair the
liver and St. Johnswort (300-900mg) to ease depression (not to be taken with
anti-depression medication). To sleep hops, valerian, passionflower and kava
kava can be taken. I save my organic banana peels and make a tea from them
which works for me. Magnesium is excellent taken before bed also an Epsom salt
bath is relaxing for sleep.
Supplements to be taken are Chromium to stabilize
blood sugar, a good b-complex, vitamin C 1000mg 3x a day for detoxing, 5htp
300mg for anxiety ( don’t take with anti-depressants or anxiety medications,
and L-glutamine 500mg 3x a day on an empty stomach to stabilize mood.
Getting out in the sun and walking is good
exercise and you’ll get some natural vitamin D. Meditation and prayers are good
for lowering stress levels too. I hope this information helps you and yours.
Enjoy the day.
