Alcoholism cure

Rebalancing out of whack hormones may not be an absolute alcoholism cure but in many cases it can have strong benefits. This is because hormone imbalances induced by environmental poisons contribute to this illnes in some individuals.

Progesterone and alcoholism are linked through the enzyme monoamine oxidase. Women suffering from alcoholism are prone to binges especially in the 4 days before and the 4 days after menstruation. During this time, when the level of progesterone is at its lowest, the break down of alcohol in the liver is slowed, so more accumulates in the blood.

PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) sufferers, who already have low levels of progesterone, have worse symptoms after drinking. Researchers have found that it lessens the ability of progesterone to break down the enzyme monoamine oxidase, thereby increasing depression.

Maintaining optimum levels of progesterone, may not be an infallible solution but, particularly in women during the 8 days described above, its a powerful way to help control the problem.

Avoid drinking during those days especially if you suffer from PMS. Also make sure blood sugar levels are kept stable by eating small starchy high fibre meals every 3 hours.
