Alcoholism Treatment
cure the bio-chemical root cause of alcohol addiction

Genita Petralli, the Author, answers questions like: What causes alcohol addiction? What is addictive biochemistry? How does orthomolecular treatment cure the root cause of alcohol addiction and the resulting anxiety, depression, mental/physical fatigue, irritability and emotional instability caused by long-term alcohol abuse? What is the #1 cause of relapse, and how can you avoid it? How can you avoid alcohol addiction if you are a recreational drinker? What are the early symptoms of alcohol dependency? What should you do if you think you have a problem? Why do problem drinkers who try to quit drinking adopt refined high carb diets and become addicted to sugar and caffeine? Why is alcoholism a progressive disease and how can you prevent this aspect of the illness? Why does drinking coffee sabotage recovery? How Mt. Sinai School of Medicine proved an “out of the womb” attraction for sweets to be a link to alcoholism. How are brain chemistry tests used to measure the neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances that cause alcohol dependency? How AAAA uses those test results to identify which therapeutic nutritional supplements must be taken to achieve optimal neurotransmitter and hormone replenishment, cure the symptoms, and ultimately dismiss all craving for alcohol. How did Bill W., the co-founder of AA, become the first major fan of the orthomolecular model for treating alcoholism?

Alcoholism: The Cause and The Cure explains the biochemical progression of alcohol dependency, from recreation to addiction. This process can be reversed using orthomolecular medicine, to ultimately cure the addiction. What causes alcoholism? Alcoholism is caused by chemical changes that occur when the brain tries to adapt to the chronic presence of alcohol. The longer a person exposes themselves to alcohol, the more deeply those changes become etched into the brain. The home of both genetic and ‘acquired’ alcoholism resides in a damaged neuroendocrine system. Genita will explain how those who are genetically inclined to dependency do not naturally produce adequate amounts of the neurotransmitters and hormones required for achieving joy, contentment, and relaxation. Instead they are driven to seek replacements in sugar, carbs, and alcohol, to help them achieve those positive states of mind. Both genetic and learned addictive biochemistry also cause people to self-medicate with outside substances for their depression, stress, and anxiety. There is a cure. Since the damage to the brain and endocrine system is what causes the addiction, the only sensible solution is to heal that damage. Genita has referenced the most current research in addiction-based biochemistry to develop a personalized approach to healing the imbalances. She uses Targeted Nutritional Therapy and neurotransmitter / hormone replenishment to re-establish balanced brain chemistry. Using this ‘reset’, a person will eventually be able to achieve healthy balance and state of mind on their own.
