Alcoholism - orthomolecular point of view• Nearly 10% of adults suffer from
alcohol addiction due to
vitamin B-3 (Niacin) deficiency (

•
Ortho Molecular research suggests t
hat 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.
