Dear Bernard et al
Re: my mailing on AA/Spiritual search/C Jung (sorry, my e-mail system
cannot reiterate previous postings)
And re a reply to the group on biochemical causes of alcoholism...
It appears from research (Ross Trattler ISBN 0 7225 1382 8 'Better Health
Through Natural Healing' pp 78) that hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may
be a cause of alcoholism. This diet is associated with a refined
carbohydrate diet (basically, junk food).
Please see book for therapeutic agents. This includes specification of a
range of vitamins, minerals and other agents.
But also, please consider that alcoholism has stress-related causes or
exacerbating factors. We have had a lot of success, here (London), with
'light and sound' machines for stress reduction, to induce Alpha and
Theta brain wave activity (deeply relaxed). They can also be used for
deep trance inductions by therapists.
Finally, please consider: has anyone modelled social drinkers: those who
can "take or leave it". It is a mystery to alcoholics how anyone can
leave a bottle of decanted whisky on a shelf in the sitting room, for
example, for days, weeks or even months. We have done some work on
modelling this - in the best NLP tradition. If you require more
information, please post to this group. The key seems to be
'flexibility', as you would expect, as NLPers.
