You might try out the hypoglycemic diet. See:
Alcoholism (Addiction) is a Treatable Disease
Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder
The first step in treatment is going on a Hypoglycemic Diet. If problems persist, it is best to consult a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychologist. Use our "Search our Web Site" for more information on terms entered into the search engine.
Hi #60265,
It is always difficult to go on a Hypoglycemic Diet., because this will trigger the usual sugar cravings This is why I recommend that you take Glycerine, while the body adjust to the hypoglycemic diet. Glycerine also counteracts alcohol cravings. Candidiasis is usually the result of too much refined carbohydrates (sugar) in the diet. The Candida fungus lives off sugar. It could be possible that heavy metal intoxication could cause candida infection, because heavy metals replace the zinc substrate that is necessary to metabolize sugars. But this would be the exception rather than the rule.
Hi The V,
Yes the higher power is simply the physical laws that control your biochemistry, which is more powerful than your free will.

This is a typical case of delusional thinking.
"I spent a lot of money on glycerine, and I still ended up drunk, regardless. Oh, and I remember it causing me a lot of bad gas, too, so that's why i associate it with the yeast. Your logic and research behind it sounds good, but just because it sounds good on paper doesn't mean it works."
But glycerine is not a cure for alcoholism it is a Management Technique for overcoming cravings when you withdraw from alcohol or sugar cravings.
The real treatment for alcoholism can be found at Treatment of Alcoholism.
It is also true that heavy metal toxicity can cause addiction, because heavy metal can interfere in glycolysis converting carbohydrates to biological energy called ATP. It can cause hypoglycemia type 6. This energy is essential in the production of feel good neurotransmitters such as serotonin.
The only way to know whether a remedy works is having a large scale research with many people. From my experience of counselling addicts and alcoholics, the vast majority benefit from going on a hypoglycemic diet, (glycerine as a temporary remedy for cravings), avoiding allergies and detoxifying from Heavy Metals.
Those who failed may have been suffering from far more serious diseases such as Schizophrenia or Bipolar Disorder or the many other Silent Diseases that can be responsible for people self-medicating themselves.
Hi there! don't worry things will get better for you, you're not alone in this mess, there are lots of people out there who suffers more of this addiction than you. Alcoholism is a very common problem, which is why so many people are looking for effective alcohol rehabilitation centres. However, it won't be effective if:
1. The person is not serious with it or if he doesn't want to have the treatment.
2. If he doesn't have the right people around him, most especially are his family, their support is what needed the most.
I advice that you be brave and firm in fighting off this addiction and have the right people to be around you in times like this.
I’m sure you can come out of it. If you cannot do it on your own, you can always seek professional help. I know this won't be easy but trust me it will be worth it. I was once an addict and got better with the help of a rehab. If you are from Canada, then the Canada Rehab Reviews site(http://www.canadarehabreviews.com/ ) can give you more options on addiction treatment centres across the country. I guess some offer free and insurance covered treatments. I hope this might be a good advice for you.
