Humans have a distinct desire for dependence on relationships, food and chemical
substances. For many years, the medical community talked about addictions, a
word derived from Latin that implies great devotion. The idea of dependence
on substances such as alcohol, caffeine or nicotine suggests a degree of intemperance,
but dependence or addiction is best viewed as a socio behavioral disorder. People
who smoke too much often drink too much and they are at risk of addiction to
street drugs. Society is judgmental about substance abuse, but they should be
more focused on food abuse.
If one has the privilege of speaking to a drug addict, they will describe
cigarette smoking as the most powerful urge to engage their habits. Dr. Holt
expresses his disappointment with drug substitution to control drug abuse. Examples
of this approach include the administration of nicotine in gum or patches to
control nicotine intake by smoking. Using small amounts of alcohol to encourage
an alcohol abuser into controlled drinking has been shown repeatedly a waste
of time. The recent scientific discovery of natural substances that can assist
in behavioral changes to combat addictions is very exciting. Medicine views
addictions as diseases, but they may be best viewed as the deviations from acceptable
lifestyles. This is why Dr. Holt considers nutritional support for reducing
dependence on substances of abuse as an approach to restoring normal body function.
Dr. Holt believes that there is a body function that promotes substance abuse
in many people.
Anti-Dependence Naturally is a combination of botanical agents
that may provide nutritional support to alter the normal body function of a
tendency to dependence on drugs or substances. The product Anti-Dependence
Naturally draws upon recent scientific research that highlights the
value of the plant Kudzu as a potential antidote for excessive drinking. Dietary
supplement products that claim to be a value in reducing hangover should be
rejected. In their place, should be products that prevent the binge drinking
that causes hangover. It is completely contrary to the philosophy of natural
medicine to produce a natural product that could encourage people to persist
with their drunkenness. Anti-Dependence Naturally is a botanical
approach to help control drinking habits. Kudzu has been referred to as a botanical
that can “whack binge drinking” (Harvard News Office). Extracts
of Kudzu have been shown to reduce alcohol intake and slow down the speed of
drinking of alcohol, with fewer hangovers and no side effects in healthy volunteers
who drank excessively.
There has been much speculation on how Kudzu may work, but it contains compounds
that have a structure similar to isoflavones which have wide-ranging potential
health benefits. Anti-Dependence Naturally also contains chamomile
which is a stress-busting herb that takes the edge of the anxiety that individuals
may experience during the withdrawal of alcohol or cigarettes.
There is no other dietary supplement that has addressed the issue of dependence
on substance abuse by the provision of nutritional support. Anti-Dependence
Naturally provides nutritional support for alcohol consumers, smokers
and caffeine addicts who wish to make behavioral changes to combat damaging
habits.
