Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Dear Unda practitioners, I was just researching some issues regarding alcoholism for a client and came across something that I believe we were discussing (not sure what topic it was under). One of the symptoms seen in pyroluria is a fruity or sweet odor about the sweat or breath. The test to ascertain this is a urine test. A lab Bio Center 316-634-7334 is one lab that measures it. This urine test measures elevated kryptopyrroles which are a byproduct of hemoglobin synthesis. They are naturally excreted in the urine, but have a " chemical affinity " for attaching to and stripping body of B6 and zinc. Results in severe stress and anxiety. Something like 40% of alcoholics have this condition, per Joan Larson PhD in her book " Seven Weeks to Sobriety " which is an excellent book on issues of addiction and alcoholism in particular. She has had a huge patient base over many years on whom to iron out her approach to issues underlying alcoholism and upon addressing which she has phenomenal results compared to traditional talk therapy or drying out units. [Doesn't get into the subleties of miasmatic or temperament but brings people light years from their problem.] Hope this is helpful. , 925-838-8688, San Ramon, Los Gatos, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
