Alcoholism

An addiction to alcohol, various forms of treatment have been utilized medically and alternatively. Medically, there are drugs to help cause aversion to alcohol, and programs such as AA and other treatment programs, along with counseling, have helped others to deal with alcoholism.

One of the better programs alternatively to address alcoholism is the one developed by the Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Viewing addictions as a sub-conscious attempt to correct and underlying physiological imbalance, treatment here aims at restoring normal physiological balance by treating the hypoglycemia and vitamin deficiencies of alcoholism. Treatment of the hypoglycemia is paramount. See the web site of this organization for a much fuller explanation of the treatment program:

Prevention: If you agree with the findings of the founder of the Health Recovery Center, the most important thing one can do to prevent alcoholism is to eat a low-glycemic index diet to treat the hypoglycemia.
