Been meaning to post this study since I found it and the subject is up to

remind me.

Diet & Disease, Rodale Books, Cheraskin, Ringsdorf Jr, pg. 201

Dr. Herbert E. Karolus (33) of the Keely Institute in Dwight, Illinois

believes that the alcoholic is peculiarly sensitive to certain beverages. In

442 patients, skin tests for various foods revealed an average of seven

allergic reactions per patient. The most frequently positive tests were for

rye (308) and for wheat (239). Desentization through weekly injections of

allegenic extracts of offending substances appears " appears to be offering

both physiological and psychological therapy' according to Dr. Karoulus.

pg.198

Dr. J. (71) Director of the Clayton Foundation for Research,

has repeatedly noted that nutritional support reduces the psysiologic

craving for alcohol. He recommends a high protein diet supplemented with

therapeutic amounts of the available vitamins and minerals, Dr.

commenting on his dietary regime, made the following assertion (71):

Is is our opinion in the great majority of individual alcoholics, the

practical elimination of alcohol craving can be assured, provided the

recommendations which we have made are followed. Wheather they are followed

is a question which must be answered in each individual case.

Also is findings by Dr. Prigot at Harlem Hospital Center using amino

acids to reduce effects of withdrawal which is likely Ross's basis.

J. headed up what became many metabolic typing researchers

from his book, Biochemical Individuality.

Not much surprising to me here. Makes sense that protein/hunter

gatherer/fast metabolizing types would be more likely to get the dopamine,

no inhibitions effect from alcohol compared to relaxing, sleepy serotonin of

slower metabolisms, like T.S. Wiley says in Lights Out! Sleep, Sugar and

Survival.

Besides protein diet, allergies and amino acids there's this biochemical

individuality work done in a Chicago prison and Pfeiffer Clinic

As says, it's the individual.
