Hangovers are actually caused by dehydration from alcohol consumption coupled with toxic effects from the fermentation within your digestive system. Some drinkers claim taking oxygen-based colon cleansers after drinking can reduce the noticeable effects of hangovers.
How to Eliminate Toxins from Alcohol
Eliminate or drastically reduce all alcohol consumption.
Detoxify and cleanse your body. Once your body is cleansed, the cravings for alcohol should disappear.
Reduce drinking habits to a maximum of one night weekly. | | Also, with regular alcohol consumption, foods are not alkalized properly, and this can result in leaky gut syndrome. Alcohol also impairs the body's ability to absorb many essential nutrients such as Vitamins A, B, D, E, and K as well as the minerals calcium, zinc, and folic acid.

Hangovers are actually caused by dehydration from alcohol consumption coupled with toxic effects from the fermentation within your digestive system. Some drinkers claim taking oxygen-based colon cleansers after drinking can reduce the noticeable effects of hangovers. | | Educate your children on the short and long-term effects of alcohol consumption. Do them a favor and do not let them drink. Alcohol is a drug and poison!
To detoxify the liver of fatty deposits, I recommend three consecutive liver/gallbladder cleansing sessions. See Chapter 12—Dr. Group's Liver/Gallbladder Cleanse.
Regular exercise increases your endorphins, giving you a "natural high".
Take a high quality oxygen based intestinal cleanser before bed, especially after alcohol consumption. |

See book keywords and concepts |  There is now strong evidence that light to moderate alcohol consumption protects against heart disease. Low to moderate alcohol intake, one drink per day, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.141 In the Nurse's Health Study, one drink per day reduced the risk of heart disease by 40 percent.141,142 Another study reported that women who had one drink per day had a 30 to 40 percent lower risk of all cardiovascular diseases as well as a lower death rate than heavy drinkers and very light drinkers. |

Cognitive behavioral therapy: Most people benefit from cognitive behavioural therapy, which involves exposing the affected person to a feared situation, first in the imagination and then in reality, until he or she can tolerate the situation without symptoms. | | Moderate your levels | of caffeine and alcohol consumption, as they contribute to bone loss. Unlike the popular belief, milk and milk products are not the best sources of calcium. This is largely due to intolerances to lactose and casein, which can lead to problems with absorption. Unsweetened yogurt is the exception.
Supplements: Calcium has been shown to be effective in helping to build bone mass. For optimum nutrition, the recommended calcium intake is between 1,000-1,500 mg per day, depending on your age, dietary intake, and other health conditions. |

See book keywords and concepts |  As a result, people with this allele cannot handle their alcohol consumption because they are genetically incapable of normal oxidation of acetaldehyde, which, therefore, builds up in their blood. This greatly increases their susceptibility to alcoholism, as well as to oral, esophageal, and stomach cancers, alcohol-induced vasospastic angina, and Alzheimer's disease.31
The key to dealing with this defective allele appears to be the administration of nicotinic acid or nicotinamide, both of which have been shown to increase intracellular NAD concentrations. |

Certain groups of people are particularly at risk of developing heatstroke, including the elderly and infirm, babies and small children, people who are overweight, and pregnant women. Anyone with cardiovascular or lung diseases and people taking certain types of medication, such as beta-blockers, are also more at risk.

Natural Progesterone Therapy
To restore progesterone levels in the body, Dr. Lee recommends supplementing with progesterone, which can help turn fat into energy and reduce water retention.31* While progesterone is available in sublingual (under-thetongue) drops and capsules, using a progesterone skin cream or oil is best. Applying progesterone to the skin allows it to be absorbed into fat beneath the skin, where it can be taken up by the blood as needed. | | Foods with a low glycemic rating, which don't cause a high insulin spike, include most fresh vegetables, leafy green vegetables, stone
A Quick Guide to Dietary Changes
Many alternative practitioners recommend a combination of nutritional adjustments to aid sleep:
¦ Avoid alcohol consumption or curtail it markedly.
¦ Avoid caffeine in all forms.
¦ Eat a protein-rich snack at bedtime, such as yogurt. Or, for optimal uptake of tryptophan, eat a small amount of a food rich in tryptophan, along with a bit of carbohydrate (preferably in whole-grain form, not processed). |

Assessing Osteoporosis Risk and Diagnosing Osteoporosis
The evaluation of risk and diagnosis of osteoporosis is made by a careful medical history, a thorough physical examination, laboratory analysis, and measuring bone density. | | Maybe somewhat surprisingly, another study showed a decrease in benign breast changes with alcohol consumption.8 Since alcohol slows down the metabolism of estrogen, it is not clear why this study demonstrated these results.
Avoid Methylxanthines (Caffeine). Removal of caffeine from the diet, an idea that originated with Ohio surgeon Dr. John Minton, is probably the most well-known alternative treatment for fibrocystic breasts. Of the 20 uncomfortable women who followed his advice to stop all caffeine intake, 13 said their breasts felt better as a result.9
Dr. | | In the last few years, there has been a lot of public health information available on the importance of avoiding alcohol while pregnant, but when it comes to the influence of alcohol consumption on female fertility, mild to moderate alcohol use has not been well studied. It seems, however, that alcohol does reduce conception rates with a dose-related connection. Research demonstrated that female alcohol intake was associated with two to three times the risk of spontaneous abortion, and alcohol intake during the week of conception increased the risk of early pregnancy loss. |

University of Mississippi researchers reveal how health habits, like alcohol consumption, are involved in triggering metastatic cancer and the production of lactic acid. As alcohol enters cells, cells attempt to eliminate it. Because alcohol is difficult to break down, cells must increase metabolic activity which requires oxygen. The cells become oxygen deprived in their attempt to break down alcohol, a condition known as hypoxia. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Moderate alcohol consumption has been shown to benefit the heart, but it does not curb stroke risk.
What you can do: Men should limit their alcohol intake to two drinks per day...one drink per day for women. A drink is defined as 1.5 ounces of hard liquor, 4 ounces of wine or 12 ounces of beer. The risk of hemorrhagic stroke jumps substantially if you exceed this amount.
OTHER RISK FACTORS
Some medical conditions significantly raise your stroke risk...

It is interesting to note that alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk for breast cancer. Alcohol increases the absorption of iron from the diet and "accumulation of iron coupled with diminished antioxidant defenses in breast tissue with advancing age" contribute to breast cancer. [Free Radical Biology Medicine 26: 348-54, 1999]
Another widely known risk for breast cancer is the increased consumption of animal meat combined with a decrease in the consumption of plant foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Likewise, research on alcohol consumption is conflicting. Red wine may have some general health benefits, but beer and spirits do not. Alcohol stresses the liver, which breaks down the alcohol. Large amounts of alcohol, as with sugar and carbs, deplete vitamin Bl levels and can lead to a deficiency. If you have prediabetes or diabetes, your liver is already stressed from dealing with sugar and sugarlike carbs, so avoid all alcoholic beverages. |

• Avoid falls and injuries.
• Get regular annual health checks; laboratory testing and bone-density testing may be appropriate. |
Andreas Moritz
See book keywords and concepts |  However, alcohol consumption does not necessarily turn into an addiction. Genetic predisposition makes some people produce more morphine or opiate from acetaldehyde than others. Under normal conditions, the side effects that arise from drunkenness prevent most people from further drinking. So the body rarely gets the chance to make sufficient amounts of such hallucinogenic drugs to cause an addiction. Yet regular consumption of alcohol can eventually increase this chance.
Some people should not risk drinking alcohol at all. |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Be honest with yourself and your doctor about smoking, alcohol consumption, diet and exercise. Ask family and friends for objective opinions.
If You Think Your Doctor Is Making a Mistake...
Speak up. A new survey shows that patients usually don't say anything—which puts them at risk for medical errors. Patients were more likely to speak up about possible medication mistakes than about possible incorrect diagnoses or inappropriate treatments.
Helpful: Affirm your respect for the doctor's position and competence before suggesting that he/she may have made an error. | | Also, limit your alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day—any more can lead to fatigue.
•Practice the "relaxation response." This technique, developed by Herbert Benson, MD, of Harvard University, has been shown to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. For me, doing this for just five minutes in the middle of the day is rejuvenating.
How to do it: Sit in a chair in a quiet room. Close your eyes. Starting with your feet, begin to relax your muscles, progressively moving up the body to the top of the head. |

Do you remember Charles de Coti-Marsh who wrote about the benefits of eating raw, organic foods? | | How to Eliminate Toxins from Alcohol
Eliminate or drastically reduce all alcohol consumption.
Detoxify and cleanse your body. Once your body is cleansed, the cravings for alcohol should disappear.
Reduce drinking habits to a maximum of one night weekly. The safest alcoholic beverages are unfiltered beer or vodka.
Try drinking extra water with raw organic Apple Cider Vinegar instead of an alcoholic beverage.
If alcohol abuse is a problem, seek professional help.
