When I think of enzymes I think of my yogurt sitting in the fridge teeming with tiny little life forms that have a positive impact in my gut when I eat them. I also think of that household cleaning stuff called Kids and Pets that uses enzymes to remove stains and odors, especially those nasty ones caused by kids and pets as the name describes. These tiny organisms may hold the key to new treatment in addiction recovery.
Can Enzymes Take The Edge Off Addiction?
As reported in Dr. Buttar’s blog, there is research that indicates that enzymes could be used to take the edge off addiction. These enzymes can seriously reduce the intensity of the reward mechanism people experience when using drugs.
In a world full of medications that are scary to take and some which are even more scary to get off of, enzymes may hold the key to something more natural and less abrasive and destructive to our systems. My built in caution sign is still flashing in the back of my mind because, obviously, any treatment developed would directly target the brain, and that is no trivial matter.
Are There Other “Natural” Things To Take?
Have you used anything considered “natural” to help you stay in recovery? What was it and what results did you get? Please share and post a comment below!

When I was a ‘serious’ drinker, I used to have a saying to myself, ‘drunk by 9′…
I’d get up at 0700, having passed out by 2100 the night before, and start hitting a 5 litre box of wine. By about 9am, I was feeling pretty good. I’d do my work from home, then at around 1500, I’d need to go get another box. It would take a while to walk to the store, needing to sit down a few times along the way. In the store, if challenged by a clerk, I would tell them I had Sciatica in my leg.
The walk back home clutching another box was tough.
I had to force myself to eat something, very little, and by 2100 I was ready to sleep.
Next day, same thing.
Having been through rehab twice now, I’ve conquered this deadly habit.
One guy in rehab described his morning feeling as ‘Getting Normal, I need to get normal’. I knew what he meant.
I also needed it to calm the shakes.
I still drink, but not like that, and I’ve switched to cider.
Good luck.
