I've been trying to tell him that some cases respond to other dietary
supplements.  He tells me I am insane.  There are cases around here
which have improved very much when supplements are used, patients with a
family history of genetic alcoholism.
We also know that the REM and Alpha waves are poor in those same
patients long before they abuse or even start to drink any alcohol or
use any drugs. That research has been done years ago.  Folks who are
in the scientific and health care professions, the "Friends of Dr. Bob",
recovering alcoholics who use their knowledge to help others have been
instrumental in motivating this ever since Bob and Bill talked to Carl
Jueng.
The supplements in question work on those brain waves.  The difference
is that with adequate sleep, genetic alcoholics function much better
mentally and physically, are a lot less apt to use any substances, and
get conditions such as fibromyalgia and heart problems.
They also don't tend to pass along slight neurological problems to their
offspring which then pop up in the psychiatric circles as entirely new
diseases for which new pills get manufactured all the time.
I am very interested in learning of any herbal or other alternative
therapy to the harsh drugs prescribed for children today, will
appreciate anything you have on this subject.
