The bio-pathways of
alcohol addiction
The Liver: Withdrawal support, detoxing and healing Yes! You can heal your liver! And yes, a damaged liver will encourage addictive biochemistry and behavior! When your liver does not function properly the digestive tract doesn’t either and neither will break down and synthesize the proteins from your food needed to feed the brain with the proper aminos such as tryptophan which is necessary for production of serotonin within neurons themselves. Serotonin is the brain chemical associated with sleep, mood, locomotion, feeding and anxiety. While other cells outside the brain such as blood platelets and some intestinal lining cells make and/or use serotonin, all serotonin used by brain cells must be made within the neurons themselves. When serotonin is not properly constructed within the brain, the result can be irritability, aggression, impatience, anxiety and depression. Serotonin is also directly linked to compulsive behavior such as problem drinking. So there is just one of the many links a sluggish or dis-eased liver can produce to encourage addictive biochemistry. In this issue we will explore the liver, the pathways of successful detoxification and repairing / rejuvenating it. The information provided here is a “snapshot” of the mechanics involved in proper liver detoxification. For the complete, step by step detoxification process click here to purchase Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure or copy and paste http://cheersbook.com into your browser. The liver is the governess of all the critical systems in the body and is the largest single organ of the body. When the liver is not functioning well the entire body suffers. Every organ is compromised including the brain and skin! This is because the dense sponge-like organ which averages 3 pounds is responsible for providing a number of critical services to the body which relies heavily on the output of these functions to properly work themselves. The liver is the largest
metabolically active organ in the body and the primary organ in charge of
detoxifying the system. It converts food to stored energy and is a filter to
remove toxins from the blood converting them into harmless water-soluble
substances that the body can then eliminate. It processes foods, drugs and
medications absorbed from the digestive tract enabling the body to use them
effectively and finally dispose of them. It makes substances like bile,
cholesterol, triglycerides and albumin for use elsewhere in the body. The liver detoxifies
by taking a harmful substance (drug, poison, metabolite) and “morphing” it
into a friendly substances. It does this by a two part process called Phase I
preparation and Phase II conjugation. Phase I uses oxidase enzymes to make
the toxic substance ready for further detoxification by Phase II. Phase II
receives the prepared metabolite and conjugates (adds on) one of several
compounds that make the metabolite water-soluble and ready to exit the body
mostly through the kidneys and sweat glands – (skin being the largest which
is one of the reasons exercise is so good for you!) To determine the
efficiency of this two-part system, a functional liver test must be done to
measure how well this system handles known substances like caffeine,
acetaminophen (aspirin) and salicylic acid. The morphed end product
metabolites are well known and the ratio of how much was taken and how much
is changed in a healthy liver is also well known. These morphed end
products are measured in the blood and urine. Most people who have a history of long term problem drinking
have dysfunctional detoxification pathways (6 total) and both Phase 1 and 2
need accurate evaluation for proper support during any aggressive
detoxification process such as that which The 101 Program prescribes. If your Phase 1 path is efficient and
phase 2 is not and these intermediate toxins build up in the tissues you
could cause more problems than you started off with. On the other side of things, properly
detoxing your system will bring you to a state of enhanced health that you
have probably not known for some time (probably since you were a kid) and
deliver you to a new reference as to what feeling healthy really means. We receive many emails of people telling
us of how many other chronic ills including the depression they had lived with
for years cleared up as a result of The 101 Program’s 8 week detox. This is because, as I said, every organ in
the body - even the brain and proper neurotransmitter activity - rely on a
healthy liver executing the 500 plus responsibilities it performs for the
body to be healthy and disease-free. Here’s a checklist of the liver’s daily duties: • Stores sugars,
converts different types of sugars into glucose, and maintains blood sugar
levels. • Hepatocytes
produce and excrete bile. • Metabolizes
(detoxes) hormones, drugs, viruses,
pesticides and other environmental as well as endogenous (internally produced
substances) Kupffer cells act as macrophages (filters) – which removes
organic by-products, cellular debris, and many other particles • Synthesizes proteins,
and clotting factors • Stores vitamins
and minerals – D, A, B12 and iron • Converts ammonia
to urea • Changes fatty
acids to ketones • Helps maintain
blood glucose levels – is intricately involved in carbohydrate, fat and
protein metabolism – produces bile which makes dietary fats digestible. Breaks down fats so they can be used to
fuel metabolic activity; manufactures triglycerides, lipoproteins and
cholesterol. Converts carbohydrates
and proteins into useable energy forms. • Makes RBC’s in fetal
life and emergencies SymptomsThe three types of alcohol liver disease are fatty liver, acute alcoholic hepatitis, and chronic alcoholic liver disease cirrhosis. A fatty liver is commonly the first manifestation of alcohol injury to the liver producing symptoms of an increased size of the liver due to fat buildup within the liver tissue. Fatty liver is reversible at this point if healthy changes are made. Symptoms of acute alcoholic hepatitis are acute onset of a fever, jaundice, tender enlargement of the liver, and commonly occur after a bout of heavy drinking. Severe hepatitis can result in death. Cirrhosis is characterized as liver cell death over an extended period of time with a progressive pattern leading to liver failure and death. In the early stages, there is enlargement of the liver, but then a reduction in size is observed with a nodular characteristic. The poor flow of blood return through the liver will result in portal hypertension which will produce symptoms that include vomiting blood, tarry black stool as a result of the blood, enlarged spleen, dilated veins and swelling in the abdomen, and hemorrhoids. The symptoms from the death of the liver cells will commonly also produce foul smelling breath, spider veins on the skin, enlarged breasts, jaundice, ankle edema, anemia, and a tendency toward bleeding problems. Cirrhosis is a major risk factor for primary liver cancer. Symptoms of a “sluggish” liver that needs attention are: sallow skin color, poor skin tone, dark circles under the eyes, yellow coated tounge, a bitter taste in the mouth, headaches, irritability, premenstrual tension, arthritis, and inability to digest fats – recognized as severe indigestion after eating high fat meals. Toxicity Most medications have a liver toxicity effect, and many are known to have a very high liver toxicity effect. Many people are not aware that some very common drugs are highly toxic to the liver and one of which is used to alleviate hangovers – acetaminophen (aspirin) pain relievers – the other is a common antibiotic tetracycline. When the toxicity of the drug (alcohol) or medication reaches the liver, it produces liver cell death which can often be detected by a blood test indicating elevated liver enzymes. In my opinion it is not wise to take ANY drug with alcohol as the toxic effects are magnified and therefore that much more harmful. And don’t forget. The byproducts of alcohol metabolism are just a few of the toxins your liver must “neutralize”. There are also numerous environmental toxins and toxins the body creates internally – add that to alcohol intake, food allergy byproducts, smoking, caffeine, and pharmaceutical use and you can see that the liver is kept quite busy in the 21st century and needs all the proper help it can get! As a “tune up” I actually do the Krispy Kleen 8 week complete detox and cleanse once a year. Every time I do it I feel 20 years younger for at least 6 months until I begin feeling the cloudy effects of toxic buildup in my system again – and that is even with the excellent fish only vegetarian – next to no simple sugars type diet I’ve adopted. When you know what it feels like to have a mind so sharp you truly feel you could cut glass with it and a body that doesn’t complain about 2 hour workouts a day and sleeps like a baby (at 43)– you can easily sense even the slightest toxic buildup. The goal is to get you to that clear headed enhanced health state so you change your reference for what truly feeling great really feels like – what you consider a good feeling day these days will seem a really bad one once you’ve experienced what I’m talking about. Detoxing & Healing The LiverThere are 6 major detoxification pathways. The 3 most important are the glutathione conjugation pathway, the sulfation pathway and the peptide conjugation pathway which the body produces Glycine, Taurine, glutamine, arginine, and ornithine to produce this detoxification method. The glutathione conjugation pathway which utilizes glutathione for the detoxification of deadly industrial toxins such as PCBs and the breakdown of carcinogens. Someone who’s glutathione stores are constantly taxed and regularly depleted makes themselves more susceptible to cancer since glutathione is directly responsible for ridding carcinogens from the body. The sulfation detox process is the one responsible for the transformation of neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, drugs, industrial chemicals, phenolics (compounds derived from benzene, commonly used in plastics, disinfectants, and pharmaceuticals) and especially toxins from intestinal bacteria and the environment. The peptide conjugation method relies mostly on Glycine which is the most important for the neutralization of toxins. Act Now!Hopefully you won’t wait until the symptoms appear before taking matters in hand and actively doing something about healing the damage your liver has likely assuredly suffered from alcohol abuse. Anyone who abuses alcohol for even a short time has done some extent of damage. Genes, lifestyle and intensity of alcohol abuse and the type of drinking (binge with a bad diet or heavy drinker with a good diet and eats sufficient amounts) all play a role in determining the extent of the damage. Also, keep in mind that most drug / alcohol combinations damage the liver more profoundly and faster than just alcohol consumption alone. If you have been abusing alcohol for any length of time I strongly suggest you study this newsletter closely and begin a healthy detox such as that of The 101 Program and begin healing and rejuvenating your liver now. The longer you wait the harder it will be to get the favorable results that could save you from many health issues. One of the most pleasing and satisfying aspects of the work I do is seeing the looks on people’s faces when they receive their blood / urine test results after the 7 week withdrawal, detox and repair phase of The 101 Program. We test while the client is preparing to quit drinking just before the withdrawal / detox and at week 7 and the results never fail to show profound progress toward healing the liver and successful detoxification. These results are often the bedrock that keeps my clients going throughout entire 9 – 24 month program because it is so inspiring to find that you can heal and you can do something about dry drunk symptoms. It is those dry drunk symptoms that are primarily responsible for driving people in 12 step programs back to drinking unhealthfully so when those are cured your success is that much more inevitable. Also keep in mind that a taxed, dis-eased liver can “out picture” itself as many other ailments and illnesses including depression! Unless it is a life threatening condition that needs immediate attention I recommend that you start your healing process with you liver… you will be surprised how many illnesses and discomforts can go away just by detoxing and repairing this remarkable organ. The 101 Program’s first 8 weeks focuses primarily on properly detoxing the liver and repairing it so that it may function at it best. Our program reflects the latest in liver cleaning, healing and detoxing research available and stresses healing the conditions and damage created by long term alcohol abuse. Please note that the
following is just a “snapshot” of some key ingredients of a good liver detox
regiment. Be sure to employ the whole
picture from Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure. We provide this info to exhibit the science behind the healing
process that can be accomplished when you approach truly curing your addiction. Nutrients that support phase 1 liver detoxificationNAC – N-acetylcysteine restores glutathione levels Vit C helps prevent glutathione from being destroyed and is an excellent free radical scavenger Milk Thistle Flaxseed oil / – other sources of EFAs: sunflower seeds, walnuts and seseme seeds; wheat germ; and supplements of black currant seed, borage (with 2400 mg of GLA), or evening primrose oil Nutrients that support phase 2 liver detoxificationBroccoli sprout extract is an excellent facilitator for both phase 1 and 2 detoxification pathways. Cysteine (precursor to glutathione) These should be taken during the detox as well as supplemented in your daily diet after detox for added protection and liver assist. Nutrients that support general good liver functionLipotropic Agents: (responsible for breaking down fats) Methionine (most abundant Lipotropic agent in humans) When estrogen levels are high the body requires more Methionine to break it down. Estrogen accumulation causes a reduction of bile flowing through the liver and increases bile cholesterol levels. Methionine also regulates the amount of sulphur-containing compounds, such as glutathione in the liver. Glutathione plays a critical role in detoxing the liver and is one of the major detoxification pathways as it is responsible for detoxing approx. 60% of toxic assaults on the body. Choline (from phosphatidyl choline complex) which is one of this month’s featured nutrients it’s benefits are fully covered in the therapeutic supplement and link of the month sections. Alpha Lipoic Acid NAC C B1 Foods that facilitate and inhibit detoxificationThe proper foods are a vital source for efficient and healthy detoxification. There are foods that aid in stimulating liver enzymes that assist detoxification such as veggies from the cabbage family and there are foods that inhibit detoxification such as grapefruit and capsicum found in hot peppers. Know what you are doing before going into a liver cleanse! It is a delicate science with tremendous results in breaking the addiction to alcohol as well as general health when done properly! In the Link of the Month section we have provided
a couple of links in powerpoint and acrobat slides and info for details on
the functioning and detoxing of the liver as well. How Alcohol
Damages The Liver
From
the NIAAA – National Institute on Alcohol and Alcoholism
Therapeutic Supplements This month’s
nutrients are phosphatidyl choline complex and Cysteine (a glutithione
precursor) for their tremendous effectiveness in detoxing and healing the
liver. The primary detoxification
mechanism for scavenging unmetabolized acetaldehyde is sulfur-containing
antioxidants [see Figure A]. The two most important are cysteine, a
conditionally essential amino acid, and glutathione, a
cysteine-containing tripeptide (a three-amino-acid polymer) [see Figure B].
Cysteine and glutathione are active against acetaldehyde (and formaldehyde)
because they contain a reduced (unoxidized) form of sulfur called a sulfhydryl
group, which contains a sulfur atom bonded to a hydrogen atom (abreviated
SH). Sulfhydryl groups interact with
aldehydes to render them incapable of forming cross links. This “mops up” or scavenges
any stray acetaldehyde that is not properly metabolized into acetate (acetic
acid) [see Figure A]. Although this is a powerful aldehyde detoxification
mechanism, it is easily overwhelmed by the relatively large amounts of
alcohol that are typically consumed with alcoholic beverages as compared to
the amounts of alcohol and acetaldehyde that are produced through normal
metabolism. Fortunately, sulfhydryl antioxidants can easily be fortified
through dietary supplementation. In one experiment with rodents
[Sprince et al., 1974], a LD-90 dose of acetaldehyde (the dose that
would normally kill 90% of the animals) was completely blocked by
pretreatment of the animals with cysteine and vitamins B-1 and C. In other
words, none of the cysteine-treated animals succumbed to the lethal
dose of acetaldehyde! N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) protected almost as well as
cysteine. Typical doses
of cysteine that are sufficient to block a major portion of the toxic effect
of alcohol/acetaldehyde are about 200 mg per ounce of alcohol consumed.
However, the rapid assimilation and metabolism of alcohol requires both prior
and concurrent dosing of cysteine to maintain protection. Furthermore, a
multifold excess of vitamin C is required to keep the cysteine in it’s
reduced state and “on the job” against acetaldehyde. Steven Wm. Fowkes – link to CERI
Cysteine & Cystine L-Cysteine,
L-Cystine, NAC 2-Amino-3-Mercaptopropionic
Acid and 3,3-Dithiobis(2-Aminopropionic Acid), Dicysteine Description Cysteine and cystine are closely
related. One cystine molecule is composed of two bonded cysteine molecules
and each can convert to the other as required. Both amino acids contain
sulfur (via free sulfhydryl groups) which makes them powerful antioxidants. The acetylated form of cysteine
is N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and contains a bonded acetyl
group. In this form, NAC is more easily absorbed, more stable, and safer to
use than cysteine on its own, which can be neurotoxic in very high doses. NAC is effective at promoting
glutathione synthesis. This amino acid “combo” incorporates cysteine,
glutamic acid, and glycine and has powerful antioxidant and immune
stimulating properties. Some studies have shown that supplementing with NAC
yields higher glutathione levels than supplementing with cysteine or
glutathione directly. Cysteine and cystine can be used
to help prevent or treat alcoholism, heart disease, liver disease (cirrhosis,
hepatitis, etc.), Wilson’s disease (copper toxicity), and bronchopulmonary diseases
such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and
sinusitis. Cysteine also aids collagen production and facilitates proper skin
elasticity and texture. Cysteine, cystine, and NAC
possess powerful antioxidant properties and work best when taken in
combination with selenium and vitamin E. They promote liver detoxification by
binding toxins and heavy metals such as mercury and lead and facilitating
their removal from the body. These amino acids also reduce free radical
damage and, in combination with their “liver repair” services, are ideal in
treating substance abuse. NAC can help prevent side
effects associated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It may also
prevent cancer by reducing the number of chemical adducts that cancer-causing
compounds use to attach to DNA and cause damage. As mentioned above, the
antioxidant properties of these amino acids helps reduce free radical damage,
often associated with DNA mutation and cancer development. NAC’s
mucolytic (mucus thinning) properties help remedy chronic bronchitis and
other respiratory disorders. Its “sulfur stores” break down the disulfide
bonds that make mucus thick. NAC supplementation increases
glutathione levels, particularly in the lungs, kidneys, liver, and bone
marrow, resulting in an anti-aging effect. AIDS patients can also benefit
from NAC supplementation via increased immune-building glutathione levels.
When dealing with the common cold, some studies show success with NAC
supplementation—symptoms were reduced and the duration of infection
decreased. Source Good natural sources of
cysteine/cystine include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, egg yolks, garlic, oats,
onions, poultry, red peppers, wheat germ, and yogurt. Optimal Absorption Cysteine is more soluble than cystine, with
L-cysteine being the most absorbable form. If supplementing, take 500mg three
times daily. This dosage can go as high as 1,000mg three times daily for one
month at a time. NOTE: High levels of L-cysteine supplementation should be
for acute situations only and you must be under the supervision of a
naturopath or other health practitioner. NAC supplementation is considered extremely safe.
Dosage can range from 500 to 1,200mg daily, with 600mg being a typical
dosage. Vitamin E and selenium work well with cysteine’s antioxidant
actions. Vitamin B6 is necessary for cysteine synthesis. Ensure
your intake is adequate and supplement as required.
It is not recommended to take a single amino acid
for an extended period of time without supplementing with other amino acids
as well. Long-term isolated amino acid supplementation can create an
imbalance in the body. Diabetics should take caution when supplementing
with cysteine, as it can interfere with and inactivate insulin. Do not supplement with cysteine if you are
susceptible to cystine kidney stones. Additional
Nutrients
There are several other
nutrients which may synergize with cysteine and vitamin C. Glutathione, the predominant
sulfhydryl antioxidant in the human body, should be considered. Although it
is probably quite effective, it is many times more expensive than cysteine
and it is not as concentrated; it contains only 10% sulfur compared to 26%
sulfur in cysteine. Much larger doses of glutathione must be taken to get the
same sulfhydryl concentration, and a significant but unknown amount of
glutathione is broken down in the stomach into its component amino acids
(glutamate, cysteine and glycine). So while glutathione is a great idea, it’s an
expensive great idea. Thiamine (vitamin B-1) and
lipoic (thioctic) acid are key sulfur-containing nutrients that may be
depleted by alcohol and/or may help with acetaldehyde detoxification.
Thiamine was tested by Sprince and colleagues [1974] and found to offer
protective benefit to acetaldehyde toxicity when combined with C and
cysteine. Whether this is due to a direct interaction between acetaldehyde
and the thiamine-bound sulfur or an enhancement of cellular energy production
by the active thiamine cofactor (thiamine pyrophosphate) is not known.
Alcoholics are known to be thiamine depleted, but whether this depletion is
caused by diminished intestinal absorption of thiamine by alcohol or by
destruction of thiamine by acetaldehyde is not known. Even under normal
circumstances, intestinal absorption of thiamine is not very efficient.
Within the cells of the liver, however, lipoic acid and acetaldehyde may be readily interacting. The liver metabolizes the largest percentage of ingested alcohol and acetaldehyde levels may be quite high in liver cells. Acetaldehyde may bind to reduced lipoamide (the active lipoic acid factor) to render it inactive (see Figure B). Due to this potential problem, it may be a good idea not to take one’s regular dose of lipoic acid near when one drinks alcohol but rather several hours before and after. - Steven Fowles- excerpts from CERI Looking for an alternative

Book Recommendations Click on title for review and purchase info By Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo We are currently researching the connection between blood type and alcoholism as related to dietary habits and lifestyle. In our December issue we will be providing a “framework” in our newsletter educating our participants about the benefits of adopting the Eat Right For Your Blood type diet and providing some guidance on how to utilize Dr. Peter J.D’ Adamo’s dietary principles within the framework of your 101 Program. I have recently read the book and have found enough supporting evidence in the connection between blood types, dietary habits and alcoholism to endorse this book / dietary education and practice as the most beneficial for those on The 101 Program. We are going to progress in successes and research tremendously by incorporating the EAT RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE with The 101 Program. It has lit a new fire of research that is sure to produce some groundbreaking discoveries that will aid people in curing the addiction to alcohol. To give yourself a head start on December’s feature article and get the most of our initial presentation which I’m sure is going to lead to some lively reading monthly thereafter as well as accelerated recovery times – get yourself a copy.
Sugar Blues The addiction to alcohol is closely
related to the addiction of sugar.
Sugar Blues is an excellent book to help your conviction to stay away
from it and reclaim your sanity and energy.
Do yourself a favor and educate yourself about this common mood
altering, health robbing extremely addictive menace. Go to our website to find the links to the
WHO’s (World Health Organization) recent report on sugar and our health.
NAT Here is a useful free software program to analyze the nutritional content of your diet.
Glycemic Index of foods If you are new to blood sugar management and are on the program, this is a very useful tool for checking the glycemic index of what you are eating – or would like to add to your diet. During the healing process in The 101 Program which is 9 to 24 months depending on the extent of damage done to your body and mind, you need to strictly stay in the low area.
