Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Just heard that niacinamide is helpful for alcohol recovery and even protective for fetuses to prevent fetal alcohol syndrome if their mother's drink during pregnancy.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Milk thistle to protect the liver would be useful. Vites/minerals, especially c and b complex. > His new living situation will allow no access to alcohol.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 My dad was an alcoholic and had liver disease. He took a medicine called enulose that kept him from getting disoriented. It worked very well for years. --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 , would something like this be helpful? http://search.lef.org/cgi-src-bin/MsmGo.exe? grab_id=0 & page_id=2733 & query=alcoholism & hiword=ALCOHOL%20ALCOHOLS% 20alcoholism%20 (you'll probably have to cut and paste that one into your browser) Rene > > I have a male relative, 70 yo, who currently has a diagnosis of alcohol > poisoning (from significant alcoholism).

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Vitamin C, zinc, milk thistle. Epsom salts baths, perhaps. How many mercury fillings does he have? Consider having a DDI hair elements test done for him to see what toxic metals he's dealing with. Lots of fresh organic fruit and vegetables. Any idea if he was using the alcohol to " self-medicate " ? That is quite common. Perhaps someone can help figure out what underlying condition he was dealing with that. S S <p>I have a male relative, 70 yo, who currently has a diagnosis of alcohol <br> poisoning (from significant alcoholism). He currently has <br> confusion/dementia, which the dr. says may be irreversible brain <br> damage. His new living situation will allow no access to alcohol. We <br> are wondering if there are supplements could help him at least <br> partially recover from his confusion/dementia. Any thoughts?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 IMO, he has mild-moderate AS plus maybe more issues. He has some amalgams. Likely will not get them out or do a hair test. Alcoholism is probably self-medication - though I really don't know what condition he needs to deal with. Right now, we are just hoping he can regain a normal cognitive state. > > <p>I have a male relative, 70 yo, who currently has a diagnosis of alcohol <br> > poisoning (from significant alcoholism).

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Did this medication help your dad after he stopped his drinking? Or do you mean it helped him while he continued to drink? > > My dad was an alcoholic and had liver disease. He took a medicine called enulose that kept him from getting disoriented.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 The enulose only helped after he quit drinking. He quit drinking 5 years before he died. He took the medicine religiously. If he missed a dose, it would only take a day or two for his speech to start slurring followed by complete disorientation. We were told if he drank even the smallest amount of alcohol, it would kill him, medicine or not. Good Luck, we'll be praying for you. --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Music Unlimited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
