Natural Treatment for Alcoholism with Vitamins and Supplemen

Post a new topicby jessiejiang on Thu Oct 23, 2008 11:42 pm

Hey ,as i know taking natural herbs like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Vitamin A, Zinc, Milk Thistle Extract, L-Carnitine, 5-HTP and so on, is good for relieving Alcoholism in an effective and natural way.

The powerful antioxidants Vitamin C and Vitamin E inhibit free-radical damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption, they are therefore integral to the treatment of Alcoholsim. Alcohol promotes the excretion of essential nutrients, including Magnesium and Vitamin A. Zinc is one of the key nutrients involved in the breakdown of alcohol. All active alcoholics display signs of injury to the liver. Milk Thistle Extract is thought to be important in the treatment of Alcoholism as it helps maintain healthy liver function. L-Carnitine may inhibit the alcohol-induced condition, fatty liver. Lactobacillus acidophilus helps correct gut flora ratios that may be altered by alcohol consumption. L-Glutamine supplementation (1 gram per day) has been shown to reduce voluntary alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption often results in reactive hypoglycemia, which aggravates mental and emotional problems. Consequently 5-HTP is included in the treatment of Alcoholism as it is a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonin.

I got this info. from one of the famous nutritional consultant whose name is Dr. James F. Balch. He is also a physician, a surgeon and a leading authority on integrative medicine and nutritional healing. Dr Balch has written several books and co-authored two best-selling books that address a broad range of health concerns and their nutritional prescriptions.

Try googling custom made supplements and vitamins for Alcoholism, and find a personalized health solution for yourself.
