ENZYMES IN THE TREATMENT OF ADDICTION

Enzymes enable life. A good quality diet goes a long way to stop addiction.

WHY RAW FOOD WORKS TO BEAT ALCOHOLISM AND OTHER ADDICTIVE AFFLICTIONS.

There is a simple premise that you cannot recover from alcoholism without eating a nutrient rich diet — which is true as as far as it goes,

There is another theory that addiction is a neurotransmitter disease which is also true.

We have the ability to make our own neurotransmitters but in the absence of a key component of digestion and assimilation we cannot make the necessary components for a health mind and body (and probably soul).

Why?

Because we are not what we eat, we are what we assimilate.

Enzymes are the catalysts for life.

The theory that I posit here is simple: addictions are increasing in modern life because of the poor quality of our diet — cooked, junk and unremittingly unhealthy.

I am drawing on my own experience with addiction — each time I have returned to my own natural diet of raw food (mainly), my alcohol consumption which is prompted by wanting quick energy decreases as does my caffeine.
