Alcoholism - orthomolecular point of view

• Nearly 10% of adults suffer from alcohol addiction due to vitamin B-3 (Niacin) deficiency (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2981).
• Ortho Molecular research suggests that the body's metabolism of alcohol is believed to be decreased resulting in excess chemicals in the brain that ultimately result in addiction (http://www.dreddyclinic.com/findinformation/aa/alcoholism.php).
• Alcohol is essentially liquid sugar. Alcoholics have likely had an addiction to sugar developed in childhood that later develops into alcoholism.
• Metabolic defects of the body may lead to anxiety, tension and fatigue which as life progresses are self treated using alcohol.
• A customized prescribed dietary and nutritional supplement program is used by Ortho Molecular therapists to reduce or eliminate symptoms of alcohol dependency.
• Many modern diets are high in calories and low in nutrients. An alcoholic is in search of these essential nutrients missing from the diet and replaces them via alcohol.
• Balancing health and brain chemistry is believed to reduce the likelihood of relapse for alcoholics.
