Drug and Alcohol Addiction Recovery Assistance with Nutritional Supplements
Individuals going through alcohol rehab or breaking drug addiction know the pain that chemicals can cause. All recovering alcoholics and drug users understand the toll that drug abuses take on the body, mind and emotions. Alcohol and drugs cause tremendous nutrient deficiencies as well as a need for very specific nutrients that are only found within nature’s foods. These nutrients:
• Support the liver • Help the body detoxify • Produce energy • Rebuild vitamin and mineral levels • Feed the brain and emotions • Support the blood vessels • Feed the nervous system • Balance blood sugar
Adjunctive Nutritional Schedule * Vitamin B Food tablets: 8 a day * Liver Support: 4 a day * Super Green Food: 1 tbl powder a day * Cod Liver Oil: 3 capsules a day * Digestive Enzymes: 1 tablet per meal
For immune system, add * Immune System Food: 4 tablets a day
For additional adrenal support: * Adrenal Food: 4 capsules a day
For cardiovascular support, add: * Healthy Heart: 3 tablets per day
One of the most obvious signs of drug and alcohol abuse is the depletion of the vitamin B complex (See Vitamin B Food). THe challenge of addiction recovery can be made more difficult when coupled with nutritional deficiencies. The chronic depletion of vitamin B complex, for example, can lead to adrenal depletion as well (see Adrenal Food). Since vitamin B complex provides cellular energy, nervous transmission, muscle health (contraction and relaxation), heart health, blood sugar metabolism, normal weight control, cellular regrowth and many functions related to emotional stability and thinking processes, this vitamin complex is absolutely necessary for replenishment. But vitamin B complex should only come from food, not from isolated or groups of vitamin pills (see Vitamin B Food). Similarly, the depletion of minerals such as calcium (see Whole Calcium Supplement) is very serious. Other important minerals include selenium, phosphorus, sulfur, zinc, potassium, and magnesium, which are all found in nature’s raw vegetables (see Super Green Food).
Of course, the liver is one of the most abused organs in cases of alcoholism and drug abuse. The reason is because the liver is part of the digestive system and is used by the body to filter out and store toxins. When it is overtaxed, the liver can become fatty or damaged or both (see Liver Support). It is critical that those going through drug or alcohol rehab emphasize liver healing. In some cases, it is advisable to also use fat-splitting enzymes to help (see Digestive Enzymes).
