Alcoholism as a result of parasites?
It might have been a month or more that jrplesman posted a message with a link to an australian hypoglycemic newsletter that had an article about glycerine (?). I read through the rest of the newsletter and saw another article about diabetes and hypoglycemia being caused by a bug or
parasite that infests the pancreas.
The article is on page 5 of the newsletter:
http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/news/hyponl2005_04.pdf
The disease model is that the bug/worm/fluke/whatever colonizes the pancreas, causing it to become irritated. In its irritated state, the pancreas secretes excessive amounts of insulin, causing blood
Sugar levels to plummet. When the blood
Sugar gets too low, then symptoms of hypoglycemia are the result, including those nasty cravings for carbohydrates (and sometimes alcohol).
Last year, I had a long stretch of sobriety that went on for several months, and at the time I attributed this success to doing
Liver Flushing and taking an anti-alcohol herb, kudzu. It is advised that before liver-flushing, a
parasite cleanse should be done, which I did for a month in March '06 ("paranil" herbal capsules). I didn't even consider that maybe the
parasite cleanse was the agent responsible for keeping me sober. And then around September/October, it became harder and harder to stay sober, so that by Xmas, I was back to my old ways, despite continuing with liver-flushing, kudzu, and a candida diet.
So when I read that article in the newsletter, a lightbulb went on in my head, and I started taking the parasite herbs again. And within a week, I was able to say no to the booze, and after 5 wks, my blood
Sugar seems to have stabilized, to the extent that I can now eat things like white rice and pasta without feeling ill. And of course, I haven't had a drink in a month now. It's as if through taking those herbs, the alcohol switch in my body was turned off. It took about a week and a half for the herbs to really kick in. Clove,
Wormwood &
Black-Walnut : amazing stuff.
What I've realized from this experience is that our culture underestimates the threat of parasites. Anyone interested in this might want to read up on parasites, the Humaworm forum is a good place to start. It is advised that people should deworm themselves at least twice a year.
