Alcoholism

With Alcoholism we commonly support with the missing mineral Zinc, and check to see if there is an allergy to the substance the beverage of choice comes from as this can create a craving. We correct any low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and supply a B complex with enough Vitamin B-1(thiamin especially deficient in alcoholics).
The other support we may use includes Thorne Research :
Phosphatidyl Choline  using a dosage of 2 caps  threee times a day to support a deficiency in the liver. Phosphatidyl Choline protects liver from damage.
Promote detox with Basic Detox Nutrients and Formaldehyde Relief  3 times a day.
