C., a Christian home for helping alco holics) Many students of alcoholism have felt for years that the intol erable craving fbr alcohol expe rienced by alcoholics must have a physiological basis. Research car ried on in several universities and institutions indicate at the mini mum that this is an area which merits much attention. Ten years ago Dr. Norman Jol- liffe made some significant contri butions to the knowledge of medi cal science in the area of indivdual bodily requirements for Vitamin Bl. More recent research by Dr. Roger J. Williams, of the Biochem ical Institute of the University of Texas, indicates very definitely the possibility that nutritional de ficiencies may cause an abnormal craving for alcohol. The recent announcement by the World Health Organization of the United Nations appears to point in the same direction. Research at John Hopkins Uni versity showed that as high as 8 per cent of young children have an appetite for alcohol, even in con centrations as high as 50 per cent (100 proof). Others disliked the taste.’ Bio-Chemistry appears to have established the fact that each body is distinctive in its chemistry. One person can eat strawberries with no ill effects wnile another will become violently ill upon eating strawberries. Some bodies appear to require larger proportions of vitamins and trace minerals than others in order to function effic iently. Where the bodily demands] for these foods is so great that a normal diet cannot supply the re quired a lounts, supplemental vita min^ or minerals in the form of tablets or capsules seem» indicated. Experiments at the Bio-Chemi- cal Institute of the University of Texas have shown that where al coholics suffering from nutritional deficiencies because of greater need for vitamins, etc., are sup plied with the ingredient needed, In several cases (human beings) the craving for alcohol is relieved, the desire was apparently com pletely removed. The staff at Fairview has consid ered the research at Texas Univer sity of sufficient importance to jus tify the use of the capsules pre pared. • Results cannot yet be tab ulated, but should they give relief to even a small percentage o£ alco holics, they will certainly b e worthwhile. One of the dangers faced by anyone working with alcoholics is ti.e temptation to over-emphasize one aspect of the problem. The same holds true for so-called reme dies or “cures.”. Antabuse, salt depletion, Vitamin Bl deficiency or imbalance, and others in turn have been hailed as the key. to the problem. One by one they have taken their place in the framework gradually being built. Hence, we would warn against too high hopes from the capsules above mention ed, which contain a dozen or more vitamins and other ingredients, and definitely may help some, but at the same time will never be a “cure all.” After all, if the re search at Johns Hopkins is accu rate. and we belive it is, it imme diately becomes obvious that at least half the population suffering from nutritional deficiencies of the type to create a craving for alcohol never drink, in spite of the craving. Hence, the psychological and relig ious factors in alcoholism are still of vital importance, and in our judgment will continue to be so. Write Fairview, Inc., of you have any question on alcoholism.
