Alcohol Addiction

One beer on a long water fast and you are blasted. You get high fast and then come down quickly and feel like crap. The worst part of drinking during a fast is the intense hunger it creates.

Science has proved that alcohol is a carcinogen and mutagen. Research studies have found that even one drink per day can double the risk of developing breast cancer. Alcohol kills brain cells, degenerates the heart muscle, damages the liver, and can deform an unborn child.

BRAIN DAMAGE FROM DRINKING ALCOHOL

Heavy drinkers consuming large amounts of alcohol for long periods risk damaging the brain. Damage may be a result of the direct effects of alcohol on the brain or may result indirectly, such as drinking beer instead of eating, disturbances in the sleep patterns, or liver disease reducing the absorption of nutrients. All of these factors affect the function of the brain.

Alcohol also reduces the absorption and utilization of various nutrients. Thiamine deficiency is a common occurrence in people with alcoholism, resulting from poor nutrition. Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is an essential nutrient required by all tissues, including the brain.

A juice fast is the best program to rebuild the mind and the body. It helps by cleaning the cells and reestablishing normal homeostasis. Juice fasting also radically diminishes the time and discomfort of the alcohol detoxification period.
