Many argue that alcohol is a major cause of marital breakdown. I agree with that. Alcohol is the most abused drug of all by adults and is rapidly heading towards number one status with young people as well. Just as the diet of refined, processed, convenience foods created a biological thirst for alcohol in Dr William’s rats the same diet promotes the same biological thirst in humans. Alcohol is a brain and nerve depressant. It greatly aggravates CFS and lowers our ability to cope by using up B vitamin reserves and damaging cells.
One of the great joys of my job is to watch the thirst for alcohol and the appetite for synthetic drugs reduce on the Metabolism-Balancing Program and Formula Six and to witness its complete disappearance after ninety days on the Anti-Candida/Anti-Allergy Program. I’ve witnessed the remarriage of divorced couples, the coming together of broken families and the launching of new careers when significant changes to diet were made and allergies were cured. Reformed alcoholics lose their cravings for sweets on the programs.
The whole issue of allergies and their effect on society and productivity must be brought out into the open and given serious consideration for it is a serious problem. It is hoped that you will use the information in this book to inform others who you recognise as being allergic and in need of help.
I remember one very intelligent and imaginative young woman who was the whiz kid of the company think tanks. She enjoyed a drink and by all accounts could put it away. Being young her brain cells were still vital and there were no obvious signs of insidious alcohol damage. However on a trip through Asia she caught hepatitis B from which developed eczema (not a bad case) and a tendency to catch colds easily. What really worried her was that now, although she could still come up with brilliant ideas and hold them in her head while developing them, at the meetings, when under pressure to deliver, they would simply disappear and she couldn’t recall them.
At the time of seeing me she was depressed. She was losing her pre-eminence as ‘the brains in the place’ and her self-confidence and self-esteem were suffering as well. She proved to be (among other things) allergy addicted to yeast and wheat and avoidance of all fermented foods, wheat products and alcohol and the taking of Formula Six saw her capacity to think under pressure return. Realising she was lucky to be young enough to get a second chance she resolved never to touch alcohol again for fear that she’d lose the razor edge of her thinking faculties again.
And there’s every chance she would have, for alcohol, over the longer haul, will permanently damage the brain cells in a way that only marijuana can match. Although she liked the effect alcohol had on her and the fun and camaraderie associated with it she decided she wanted the mental stimulation of being good at her job and the rewards of her achievements more. Realising she couldn’t have them both she chose what, for her, was the more desirable of the two.
Many people in her situation choose to return to alcohol when they’re well and over time regain their allergy addiction to it. Some enter the allergy addictive state without experiencing a serious illness but rather through the regular practice of a few drinks after work to relax which eventually leads to the imperative drink at the business lunch and in time to that nip of whisky in their morning coffee that no one knows about. All the time there is an inexorable decline in their productivity which they, for a while, manage to disguise by a series of easily recognised ploys—buck passing being the major one. The problem with alcohol is that in time it damages the brain cells permanently so that the good results from anti-allergy programs are harder to achieve and the incentive to stay on them is reduced.
Remember that you kill 10 000 brain cells every time you get drunk.
