& Addiction

This page contains links to sources of information concerning the relation between nutrition and addiction.  "Many, many sites are more or less thinly-disguised commercials," wrote Marianne H., " but those listed here appear to offer a reasonable amount of information as well."

 Alcoholism and Nutrition

This is a chapter from the book, A Sourcebook of Clinical Research, by Melvyn R. Werbach, M.D.  It is a detailed review of how various nutritional elements and supplements may be of use in reducing cravings and/or easing withdrawals in alcoholics. You can also click this link to find out more about Dr. Werbach.

Alpha Online

This is a site you will want to explore more thoroughly than most. It explores the "craving for and the compulsive eating and drinking of foods that cause illness, obesity, and obvious suffering." (Alcohol is considered a food on this site because it is burned by the body to create energy.) 

Links


  Health Recovery Center

The Health Recovery Center site offers "solutions for alcoholism" and information discussing diet tips, biochemical traps, liver repair, nicotine addiction and more. You will also find excerpts from the book, 7 Weeks to Sobriety, by Joan Mathews Larson.
