REVIEW
The first chapter of the book gives the historical perspectives
concerning the origins of the "curse" of alcoholism. References to
Biblical and Eastern religions, the theories of evolution, and the views of
environmentalists are briefly explored. By examining the historic and individual
perspectives of the relationship of sugar and alcohol, the book reaches the
conclusion that alcoholism may be an inherited dysfunction of the endocrine
system. By eliminating the mysterious "curse" of alcoholism, the
reader can achieve a sense that there can be solutions to dealing with this
dysfunction.
The
second chapter explores the six basic causes of this addiction that have been
put forth over the years by various schools of thought. These causes include:
Moral Depravity; Lack of Will Power; Psychological Disorder; Physical disease;
Genetic Influence; and Nutritional
Deficiency. The author
examines these causes and places particular emphasis on the genetotrophic
(inborn nutritional need) theory.
Chapter
three takes a look at the various "cures" available for those seeking
help for alcoholism. (Since this is a self-help reference book, discussions of
intensive long‑term psychotherapy or private sanatoriums are not included
in this chapter.) Special emphasis is placed on the use of the amino acid,
L‑Glutamine, in the treatment of alcoholism. Referring to the research
done by Dr. Roger J. Williams, University of Texas, the author discusses the
benefits of including L. Glutamine in the diet of an alcoholic. The diet and
nutrition connection is recognized as having a positive effect on reducing or
eliminating the alcoholic cravings that some heavy drinkers experience.
Other "cures" discussed in chapter three
are:
General
diet for an alcoholic
Vitamin/Mineral therapies and formulas
Herbs
Allergic Addiction (Removal of certain foods from diet)
Hormone Therapy
Alcoholics Anonymous
Hospital Programs
Hypnosis
Drugs (Medicinal)
The final chapter is a discourse on "holic"
behavior (the compulsive search for a "high"). This chapter discusses
how CHOICE plays a part in an alcoholic's cure. The book concludes with a plea
for an honest, intensive, and more expanded drug education program in our
schools.
