Hello pduffy4 & kiwimaj

Here is the solution.

Question : Is there there cure for alcoholism, i am asking for another person?

Answer : Careful use of gradual lowering of dosages whilst having to do herbal protection of the Liver using Milk Thistle first then also Artichoke. The reason I go this route is so the Liver isn't battered so quickly. The likes of Gerson Institute might go bam into the Coffee Enema but I'd protect the Liver for a while first. Plenty of hydration with Water+Salt to the 'Salt Cure' protocol of Dr Fereydoon Batmanghelidj. Any herbs taken would be better as a tea or tinctures made with Apple Cyder Vinegar and not alcohol for obvious reasons. He may also take Ginseng in any form for a period of 1-2 months on and 2-4weeks off. Eventually the Coffee enemas can be used and this should if done 3x daily remove need for alcohol within 14 days tops usually 7. Whenever a crave is coming on then a coffee enema is taken as long as its within the 3 times a day only. - Craig Oxley

Alcoholism

Definition:

It is the extreme dependence on alcohol which can lead to mental changes, cirrhosis of the liver, nerve damage and heart problems.

Herbal Aids:

Heavy Mineral Bugleweed Combination: Natural physicians have used bugleweed successfully in cases of ...the inflammation from alcoholism. [UW-bugleweed]
Oats: In India, oats are described as a perfect food.... The tincture of the green oats is recommended for nervous strain. It is also taken as an antidote for drug addiction and alcoholism. [UW-Oats]

Skullcap: This has been used in weaning people from barbiturate addiction as well as in lessening withdrawals from Valium and meprobamate abuse, avoiding some of the latter state convulsions and frenzies. In combination with white ginseng it is effective in treating delirium tremens of alcoholism. [UW-Skullcap]

Chaparral: This contains a phenolic compound, nordihydroguariaretic acid (known as NDGA for short). It is found on the external surfaces of the leaves and stems in all the species of Larrea... NDGA is used in alcoholism treatment, liver disorders and geriatrics. [NL 3-4]

Cabbage: Eat cabbage, steamed or raw and drink the juice. [NL 4-12]

Cayenne: It is used as an accentuator with other herbs; it increases the value and healing properties of the herbs and carries them to the afflicted part of the body. Indeed, Cayenne affects every portion of the body through its marvelous action in the venous structure... It can help cleanse the system of alcoholism and even reduce the discomfort of a hangover, or worse, the miseries of delirium tremens. [NL 6-3]

Cleansing the Bowel: Alcoholic beverages of all sorts tend to produce constipation, by causing chronic intestinal catarrh, ulcer of the stomach, and paralysis of the sympathetic nerves. We do not recommend laxatives such as purchased from the drug store or herbal laxatives in many cases from health stores that are just a laxative. These become habit forming and this is not the procedure we recommend. We use herbs to feed and rebuild the bowel, to activate the dormant peristaltic muscles and clean off the bowel walls for complete assimilation of foods going through the intestinal tract. (See also Cleansing) [HHH p.146]

Alfalfa: This is used in Europe for many functional type diseases. It is traditional for wasting diseases in traditional European practice. It is recommended for alcoholics and drug addicts who are trying to kick the habit. [UW-Alfalfa]

QUOTE
In Edgar Cayce's work with alcoholics, we note that he had a very shrewd assay of the alcoholic situation. In the case of a young man aged 31 (4386-1), we find a beginning alcoholic who is just at the threshold of becoming addicted. Mr. Cayce finds that the effects of alcohol are just becoming evident in his organs. This is what he recommends:

In meeting the needs of the conditions physically, we find - while there must be physical applications for the body to right itself - the greater portion must come through that of self's own will in making for the environs and for the effect that is being produced in body.

He then goes on to prescribe a "chemical fence" to be given once a week to the young man:

We would, then, find that - were these properties combined in this manner, and given at least one each week, and this as a dose, this will assist and enable the body to exercise its own prerogative in the application of self's desires. Prepare in a capsule, this:

Eucalyptol...................... 1 minim,
Rectified Oil of Turp..........1/2 minim,
Benzosol.........................1 minim,
Codeine.....................1/60th grain.

This must be given under physician's instructions or directions, one each week, until there will be found that there is ail alternation in the desires of the body as related to the physical forces, as related to the mental application of self . . . for this will produce nausea to the extent that the body when over-stimulating self, will refrain from stimulating same. Should this become, under the physician's reactions, such as has been in cases past with the body. . they, themselves, refrain . . . or change to such an extent as to increase rather than diminish. . . take of the parings of the scrapings of the fingernail of the body, on the left little finger . . . these prepared in coffee or tea will prevent a recurrence. Not injurious, but helpful.

Another time, Mr. Cayce prescribed another "chemical fence' No. 845:

Q: Is there anything I can do to help break my husband from drinking?
A: Give him this, and he'll never want to drink any more... it'll make him very sick if he does:
Put into capsule:

Oil of Eucalyptus................. 1 minim
Oil of Turp...................1/2 minim
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.....1/2 minim

Give him this.
Q: How may it be given?
A: In a capsule.
Q: Just one?
A: Just one. And then he'll vomit his boots up if he takes a drink! The smell of liquor will be abhorrent even! Of course, he can overcome it - but it'll make him sick for the first year anyway.

These chemical fences of Mr. Cayce would seem to act longer than Antabuse, which has an action of only four days. The fingernail parings would seem to work as does Flagyl (metronidrazole) in dampening desire for alcohol, and perhaps in the management of a hangover taking "some of the hair of the dog that bit him."

In the case of a 56-year-old male (28-1), we find a more advanced alcoholic, undoubtedly in the range of the addiction to alcohol. It is interesting to note that Mr. Cayce found the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and pancreas involved. This merits him a good grade in modern pathology. He is also quite correct when he says:

Digestion impaired, on account of condition created in spleen, pancreas and liver. Hence the deterioration, as it were, of the whole system and the lack of assimilation and of the digestive system functioning normal.

In this man, Mr. Cayce recommended both a "chemical fence" and a certain substitute for alcohol:

Podophyllin..............1 grain
Cascara Sagrada...............1 grain
Leptandrin...................1 grain
Licorice Compound.................1/2 grain

Make these in this quantity in each capsule, making five (5) capsules. One to be taken every other day.
Give this as the stimulant and preventative from using over-stimulants:

Tincture Valerian.................2 ounces
Bromide of Potash................2 drams
Iodide of Potash.................10 grains with
Elixir Catisaya..................4 ounces and
Elixir Celerina.................1 ounce with
Extract of Verbena....................15 minims

The carrier for this should be sufficient Peptotol [in another place he says this is any sweet syrup] to make sixteen (16) ounces. The dose would be a teaspoonful twice each day, morning and evening. By the time the whole quantity is taken, we will find the body will be rid of much of the desire for the properties that over-balance the system.
Should the body take the over-stimulus while using this and become sick and nauseated, use the enema, also the stomach pump or wash to cleanse the stomach of same, though this would not be a poison in itself, unless there was certain combinations of properties taken in diet. Hence, while these are being taken, the diet should consist chiefly of meats or game, or the juices of same, with only vegetables that grow above ground, and no form or combination of any nightshade variety of vegetable.

Then, Mr. Cayce gives this advice to the drunkard that almost sounds as if it comes from the AA's Big Book.

Then for the mental, we find the body very capable, would it only guide itself in the manner in which it understands the knowledge of self. Spiritual understanding only comes from the understanding of the divine within self, and the attempt to correlate same will always bring the development of self mentally and spiritually. For those who call upon the God will not find Him afar off, but ever present, and ready to answer the self as it is found in the inner man.

Just as important as helping the alcoholic directly is the helping of the spouse of the alcoholic to change her attitude toward him. It is here that Cayce gives some excellent advice. Here is what he says to one woman (1183-2):

Q: Just what should I do about my husband and home?
A: As just indicated, live right yourself. Never so act, in any manner in any inclination, that there may ever be an experience of regret within self. Let the moves and the discourteousness, the unkindness all come from the other person. Better to be abased yourself and have the peace within. For unless changes arise some great disturbance will come. But if ye so act that these appear to arise from thy neglect, or from thy not caring, then the regret would always be with thee. Then act ever in the way you would like to be acted toward. No matter what others say, or even do. Do as you would be done by; and then the peace that has been promised is indeed thine own.
Q: Is there any Chance of his ever overcoming the drinking habit?
A: Not if there's given the least excuse for his continuation in same. But kindness, gentleness, and prayer has saved many a soul!

What Mr. Cayce is advocating in the above is now known as "surrender." This is when a wife leaves her husband alone and surrenders all concern for him but doing the best she can for herself and her family. Thus by not nagging or berating him, she gives him no excuse for his drinking, and he must bear the consequences himself. Very modern advice indeed!

In another place, Mr. Cayce makes a rather unique suggestion (1439-2)

(Q) Can those assisting do anything to prevent the body from indulging in stimulants?
(A) They can pray like the devil!
And this is not a blasphemous statement, as it may appear - to some. For if there is any busier body, with those influences that have to do with the spirit of indulgence of any nature, than that ye call satan or the devil, who is it?
Then it behooves those who have the interest of such a body at heart to not only pray for him but WITH him; and in just as earnest, just as sincere, just as continuous a manner as the spirit of ANY indulgence works upon those who have become subject to such influences either through physical, mental or material conditions!
For the POWER of prayer is NOT met even by satan or the devil himself. Hence with that attitude of being as persistent as the desire for indulgence, or as persistent as the devil, ye will find ye will bring a strength. But if ye do so doubting, ye are already half lost.
For the DESIRES of the body are to do RIGHT! Then aid those desires in the right direction; for the power of right EXCEEDS - ever and always.
Do that, then.
Like the devil himself - PRAY!
