In order to hopefully treat and prevent recurrence of difficulty recovering from alcoholism we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors. We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow difficulty recovering from alcoholism to develop?"
Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind difficulty recovering from alcoholism consists of three steps:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Pyroluria | 92% | Confirm |
EFA 3 Need | 15% | Unlikely |
Liver Congestion | 5% | Ruled out |
Low Serotonin | 0% | Ruled out |
DMAE Need | 0% | Ruled out |
If you are an alcoholic but not fully recovered, which statement is most true?
Possible responses:
→ Not applicable / don't know→ I don't want to quit → I am trying and it is not too difficult → I am trying, but am finding it difficult → I've tried, but gave up because it is too hard |
Polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid deficiency may contribute to depressive symptoms in alcoholism, multiple sclerosis and postpartum depression.
When anxiety is a factor promoting the consumption of alcohol, Pyroluria should be investigated as a possibility. As many as one-third to one-half of alcoholics have this genetic chemical imbalance.
