Being so new, I am trying not to duplicate posts. I did a search and couldn't find this, so please forgive me if it has already been discussed. I too am a big believer in the link between nutrient deficiencies and addiction. (Thanks Kuya for the link to Dr. Wilson's excellent article.) As I take the first steps towards an AF life, I plan to use food as an aid to healing. Therefore I am moving towards a totally organic, whole foods diet. I'm not there yet, but working on it daily. I wanted to share this recipe for a broth that I have been making for years. I have used it in the past to steady my alcohol ravaged body even while I continued to drink heavily. It made a huge difference. Many times after a horrid bender, I would sip this broth all day until my body was strong enough to accept food again.
Although chef, Rebecca Katz, developed this broth to help cancer patients strengthen their body during treatment, it is full of essential nutrients such as potassium and magnesium, so it also helps to repair cellular damage caused by alcohol abuse. Usually I use organic veggie broth as the starter base to give it a richer flavor. Other times, I peel the vegetables first and leave them in the broth to create a hearty veggie soup. Either way it is delicious. In fact, I am sipping a mugful as I type rather than my normal cup of coffee.
I almost posted this in the recipe section, but I consider this broth more of a holistic medicine than food, so this seemed like the appropriate place. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
