| Only a few of more than 50 brain neurotransmitters in normal amounts are lacking in your alcoholic brain. But no one can tell which ones. We could cure your alcoholism in two weeks, with massive doses of all ingredients, but many would have major health problems. A $35million study validates our Molecule Multiplicity method. All quality traditional treatments (MDs and clinics) use a few closely related molecules. They cannot replace the combination of neurotransmitters your brain seeks. Permanent Cure is many times more effective than any other treatment, and the only treatment with a truly permanent cure. We have a $20,000 reward that assures you that is true. |

| The number of women abusing alcohol is on the rise. And the signs of addiction are far more subtle than you might imagine |
- A Self-Control Checkup
drinking habits twice a year. Ask yourself,
- Am I drinking more today than six months ago?
- Do I ever feel I need a drink?
- Do I ever forget things I've said or done when I was drinking?
- Is drinking creating problems in my life?
There is no blood test to determine when a liking for alcohol has become a disease. Addiction experts and
counselors rely on probing questions-and honest answers. Once a problem is identified, there are a number
of next steps, depending on the situation. Choices include treatment centers, support groups, and other forms
of counseling. (ed note: Other than this glaring bias towards counseling, which betrays the writer is a
counselor , this article is full of factual information not easily found elsewhere. What other disease in modern
times is "treated" with conversation? Here are comparisons of all alternatives. Other than our patented
Molecule Multiplicity method success rate of nearly 100%, those alternatives have long term success rates of
5-35%, roughly equal to willpower or sugar pills. "What makes more sense than directly replacing the
neurotransmitters the brain lacks and seeks in alcohol?)
Regrettably, many women never get the treatment they need. Of the roughly 7 million females who abuse
alcohol, only 763,000 receive treatment. That leaves some 6.2 million women without that benefit. Although
alcoholic men are likewise under-treated, seeking help can be especially difficult for women, in part because
the stigma of alcoholism is so profound. "If you're a woman, there's often shame associated with being out of
control of any part of your life," says the NIAAA's Denise Russo.
Women may also face greater obstacles to treatment, from concerns about child care and custody to financial
burdens. And many in treatment feel uncomfortable with mixed-gender groups. At Residence XII, for example,
up to 80 percent of the clients have a history of trauma or domestic violence; these women are often loath to
discuss an abusive spouse in the presence of men. For that reason, many experts emphasize the importance
of women-only treatment programs or meetings. "With all-women programs, there is a different group dynamic
than when men are present, and a different group of problems that need to be addressed," says Susan
Burnash, director of marketing for Residence XII. Unfortunately, treatment programs tailored to an alcoholic
woman's needs can be hard to find. According to CASA, only 38 percent of programs nationwide have options
designed for women.
Happily, the vast majority of women who drink will never be in need of such treatment. But the best way to
guarantee that is to understand where to draw the line - and when to pour club soda instead of Chardonnay.
Alcoholism Cure's Formulas
are well known for their alcohol
replacing qualities.
People drink alcohol for a
compelling purpose -- they want to
feel good. So badly, they ignore the
hangovers and depression they know
are coming.
It has been well known to alcoholism
research scientists for over fifteen
years that alcohol goes to the brain
and stimulates receptors in the
nucleus accumbens, and related
areas, the "feel good" centers of the
brain.
Brain chemistry research has
established, but not proven,
that our Formulas act in
similar ways to reduce
alcohol addiction. How and
why are still being worked out.
No prescription drug has
been developed that does as well as
these long known herbs, vitamins,
minerals and amino acids. We
developed our patentable Programs
with the new knowledge and
monitoring by experienced non
medical doctors (PhD ND, JD)
Advances in knowledge are not
available in one bottle for several
reasons. It has been established that
no two people react the same way to
the same ingredients. And there is
huge potential for good and bad
interactions with many prescription
drugs that act in similar ways. The
solutions require close monitoring by
health professionals. Everybody
needs a different Formula, How can
you put that in a bottle?
We spent a fortune learning
to use over $200,000,000 in medical
research on how alcohol works.
Because our nutraceuticals have been
used for hundreds of years for other
conditions, we know they are very
safe. Whole bodies of research
establish each one stimulates the
same individual brain pleasure
sensors as alcohol and drugs of
abuse. We can make the right
combination for you.

Two or three times week - "sometimes less, rarely more" - Anne Calais,* an elementary school teacher and
energetic mother of two, enjoys a vodka martini or a glass of wine with dinner. Occasionally, on Friday
evenings she and her husband sit with a drink in front of the fireplace in their Connecticut home. "It's about
taking pleasure in each other's company," she says. For Calais, 41, alcohol is a stress reducer in liquid
form. "After a few sips, I definitely feel more relaxed," she says.
Many of us would drink to that. After all, a glass of spirits is not just a quick way to unwind after a stressful day.
As a pleasurable part of a good meal, alcohol can also be good for our health, reducing the risk of heart
disease and diabetes. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA), at Columbia
University, in New York City, estimates that 47 percent of adult American women and 63 percent of adult
American men consume alcohol.
Women's enjoyment of drinking is amply reflected in popular culture. In the HBO series Sex and the City, a
cosmopolitan was as much a badge of fabulousness as a pair of Manolo Blahniks. A romantic scene in the
2004 hit film Sideways featured not window-fogging sex but a seductive monologue about wine delivered by a
woman. The new hit TV show Grey's Anatomy features a trio of sexy female surgical residents who work hard
and drink hard, too. "Must have liquor," declared one as the group prepared to celebrate Thanksgiving. The
drinking surge among young women has even gotten marketers working overtime creating new "alcopops,"
sweet alcoholic drinks such as Bacardi Breezers that are pitched specifically to women.

- Women's Greater Risk
Women are at significantly greater risk than men for developing serious problems with alcohol and sustaining
men do.men do.
Why the disparity? Pound for pound, women have less water in their bodies than men do, so the alcohol
traveling through their bloodstream is less diluted. Women also have lower levels of a stomach enzyme that
helps break down alcohol; indeed, for reasons that scientists do not fully understand, female alcoholics often
lack this enzyme altogether. "Even if you correct for weight, if you give a man and a woman the same amount
of alcohol, the woman will have a higher blood-alcohol level," says Sheila Blume, M.D., a former medical
director of addiction services at South Oaks Hospital, in Amityville, New York. Because of differences in
metabolism, alcohol also lingers longer in a woman's body than in a man's, and a woman will develop liver
disease years earlier than a man will, even if she consumes only a fraction of what he ingests.
Metabolic differences may also explain why women who drink heavily tend to become addicted to alcohol
more quickly than men do. Estrogen may be implicated, too, says Carrie Randall, Ph.D., director of the
Charleston Alcohol Research Center at the Medical University of South Carolina and author of a study that
showed women to be on a faster track to addiction.
Although male alcohol abusers in the United States still vastly outnumber women abusers - 10 percent of all
males (or roughly 12 million men and boys), compared with about 5 percent of all females (6 million women
and girls), according to the 2003 National Survey on Drug Use and health- that's probably because more men
drink. Some experts, in fact, believe the number of women alcoholics may be as high as 7.5 million. And that
number is on the rise, reports the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).

But DNA is not destiny; lifestyle counts, too. You can be hardwired for addiction but won't develop a problem if you don't drink to
excess. Nor are you off the hook merely by not being genetically predisposed. "Anyone who drinks enough can become
alcohol-dependent," cautions Dr. Blume.
The question of course, is what is "enough"? At what point does drinking for relaxation veer into problem drinking? Experts agree
that you can't put a number on it. Having more than one drink a day doesn't mean a woman has a problem or is developing one.
But it increases the odds. "Your body will develop a tolerance to a certain amount of alcohol," notes Stephanie Brown, Ph.D., director
of the Addictions Institute, in Menlo Park, California. To get the desired buzz, you'll need to drink more.
At that point, a two- or three-drink habit may become customary. If a woman's life enters a high-stress zone, she may add another
glass or fill the one she already has to the brim. "It's a slippery slope," says Chambers.
Binge drinking-which is defined as four drinks in one sitting for a woman and five for a man-can also prime the pump, even if such
episodes are rare. (They are increasingly common on college campuses.) According to a 2004 NIAAA report, the risk for alcohol
abuse or dependence jumps dramatically for women who exceed three drinks per occasion.
To determine whether her drinking has crossed the line, a woman has to assess the impact that alcohol is having on her life. Is it
taking on a more important role? Instead of a movie, for example, does she prefer a party where she can relax with a drink in her
hand? Even if there is no physical craving, "this could be the beginning of a psychological preoccupation," says Chambers.
If drinking is causing tangible problems, of course, the signs are inescapable. "Generally, if women experience negative
consequences from their drinking-problems with driving, their job, at home or with the law and continue to drink anyway, that's
considered abusive drinking," says Foster.
The line between problem drinking and out-and-out addiction is similarly blurry. In fact, some experts believe there is no line that
the problem drinker is showing symptoms of addiction, a physical dependence characterized by craving for a drink, a loss of control
once drinking, an ever-higher tolerance and withdrawal symptoms when drinking is stopped. "Once a woman is physically dependent,
she isn't just drinking for pleasure," observes Dr. Randall. "She's drinking to avoid the withdrawal, the hangover and the pain."
Levine has not experienced any negative effects from her drinking. But she concedes that "if I drink too much, my husband feels as
though I argue with him without provocation in a way I wouldn't otherwise." And her weekends-only rule is flexible. Not long ago she
was suffering from pain in her neck and decided to treat it with alcohol, even though it was the middle of the week. She and her
husband went to a bar, where she had a shot and a pint of beer. She later drank another beer over pizza. "I got home and fell asleep
on the couch," she says. "I felt guilty but the crick in my neck was gone. It was therapeutic."
Like Levine, many women use alcohol to treat their aches and pains, especially emotional ones. "Women more than men drink to
self-medicate negative feelings," says Dr. Wilsnack. "That's a fairly common pattern and in my view one of the most important
warnings signs. Why you drink is as important as how much you drink." ("Some experts say that males, by contrast, are more likely
to drink out of a sensation-seeking urge.)
The sad irony is that drinking to alleviate depression or to shake off sexual inhibitions -- both common reasons women reach fro the
bottle -- can have the opposite effect. "Alcohol is not an antidepressant. If anything, it makes depression worse," says Dr. Blume.
(ed note: Amazing waffle in an otherwise excellent article. All health care professionals and every alcoholic knows alcohol is a
short term stimulant and a long term depressant drug. Who feels better the day after? What's a hangover?) And while booze may
make a woman feel freer sexually, alcohol decreases sexual pleasure. "The more you drink, the less responsive your are," she says.
