I had my first visit with a medical board certified Acupuncturist (who has over 31 yrs experience!) yesterday. I almost had a panic attack filling out my paperwork, but he helped calm me down and explained why I crave alcohol (beer mostly). I can't really remember everything he said, but it's called 'Candida' (sp?)..and it's the unbalanced production of yeast in the body...it causes the craving for the yeast in beer...anyway, he did the acupuncture treatment and sent me home with herbal supplements called Ardisia, and MANNNNN does it work! I went to the store last night and had absolutely NO desire to grab my usual 6 pack. I noticed a difference especially after having a huge blowup over the phone with a family member last night too...my normal reaction is to grab a few beers to calm myself down...but I didn't want it then either!! Then I went to work, and totally forgot to bring my supps. with me (I'm supposed to take 3 pills 3times a day). I went in again for another treatment at lunch...I have to go 3 days in a row this week, then down to 2 times next week...anyway, by the time I got home I started feeling the craving, but I popped my supps right away and then again after dinner, and it totally SQUASHED the cravings again. So I really feel like this is working for me so far. He says this weekend will be the toughest, but that it will get easier each day...and after 3 weeks I should feel different and the cravings should be minimal if any
Oh, and the acupuncture is for 'detoxing' and getting me through withdrawls and the supps. are to curb cravings. That's how they work together. I highly recommend this to everyone. It's not cheap, but it's been amazing for me so far Ok, now I'm going to bed..SOBER
