Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Good Day Health podcast with doctor Jack Stockwell,
sponsored in part by Caldren. The Safe, proven Way to
Lose weight and keep it off.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
From doctor Jack Stockwell at forbiddendoctor dot com. Again, I
am not the Forbidden Doctor, even though we use that
title at the website. I have a new video up
at forbiddendoctor dot com that tells you what and who
the Forbidden Doctor really is, and I invite you to
go there and listen to it, as well as I
(00:29):
invite you to take the Symptom Survey. I think it's
a nutritional analysis there on the homepage. It's absolutely free.
It takes a little while to go through it, but
it's kind of inclusive because it looks at various systems
in the human body based on symptoms related to problems
(00:49):
of that system. Cardiovascular digestive elimination, the nervous system, the skin,
reproductive female issues, male issues. The questions address these kinds
of concerns, and then my nutritionists will go through these
(01:09):
things and come up with some suggestions that will sit
down and talk about between the two of us and
get back to you with what we recommend you might
consider doing. All about it, No charge is just kind
of a thank you for Doug having me on his
show for almost two decades now. Now the thing I
wanted to address in today's show, and I again, a
(01:30):
lot of the topics, if not most of them, not
all of them, are generated by questions from my audience.
And the question was asked here, Oh, probably a good
month ago. I just haven't had time to get to it.
Is there dietary support for the alcoholic? Is there something
that can be done to address alcoholism in a nutritional
(01:54):
sense besides just using drugs and the other kinds of
certain privations that an alcoholic would have to go through
or does go through, besides AA Alcoholics Anonymous and the
other things and the various medications that are used to
help somebody deal with this terrible life destroying condition. So
(02:18):
I recently learned that near the end of his life,
Bill w who you know, was the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous,
just shortly before he died, he went to his board
of directors because by the time he was, you know,
coming to the end of his life, AA was a
very very big international organization and with a lot of
(02:39):
money from donations they're given to you know, because it's
a five oh one C three organization. So he goes
to his board of directors and he urges them to
start adding nutritional therapy to the AA protocols, and surprisingly
the board turned him down. Now we haven't got time.
Now that won't work. No, other people aren't interested in that.
(03:01):
Now what Bill w had found that the coffee and
the sugar retreats that are often served at an AA
meeting would worsen his hypoglycemia and as a result, bring
on more depression. And when he got rid of these
foods from his diet, his blood sugar would stabilize and
his depression cleared up. And then he also became very
(03:24):
interested in the use of vitamin B six for treating alcoholism,
and so the board's decision prevented, unfortunately, the widespread sharing
of these discoveries, although his wife published a pamphlet on
vitamin B six shortly after his death. Now recently a
number of therapists have looked at nutritional therapy for alcoholism,
(03:48):
including A. Julia Ross who's the author of The Craving Cure,
and she said preliminary studies indicate that the success rate
for high protein, high fat diet often in conjunction with
vitamin or amino acid supplements gives a success rate of
(04:08):
seventy to eighty percent compared to twenty percent for conventional
therapy and participation in AA, and she has great research
to back that up. I'm going to repeat those numbers.
When a high protein, high fat, now that's animal fat.
It's not vegetable oil or crisco, it's high animal fat,
(04:30):
high animal protein in conjunction with vitamin and amino acid supplements,
they realize the success rate jumping up to seventy to
eighty percent compared to the one out of five that
they had experienced before with just conventional therapy. So but
none of these none of these therapies really focused on
(04:50):
the principle of the diet, the wise tradition diets that
come out of the Western A. Price Foundation. I have
often recommended the book Human Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by
doctor Western A. Price, published back in the nineteen thirties,
and it is still a mainstay today in dietary and
(05:11):
nutritional recommendations to rebuild a broken down body. So I'm
going to go through these things here, the different food groups,
because there's some rather unique foods that simply have slipped
off the stage of what's considered normal human nutrition today.
(05:32):
And how when it is introduced into the diet of
an alcoholic they find out they don't need to drink
any So. Number one, cod liver oil cod liver oil.
It's a naturally produced cod liver oil, mind you, and
it's loaded with vitamins A and D. And unlike the
others who advocate for dietary treatment for alcohol addiction, you
(05:57):
have to start with a focus on vitamin AB because
the low fat, high carb diets that most people, most
Americans eat or follow will lead to widespread deficiencies because
vitamin A is crucial to the formation of a variety
of drenal hormones that the body needs to deal with stress,
(06:18):
and people often turn to alcohol for comfort after a
traumatic experience or a period of chronic anxiety or whatever.
And the adrenal glands make stress hormones out of cholesterol
and they require vitamin A for this process to take place.
And trauma and stress when we go through that, and
everybody does, is not limited to an alcoholic. Everybody goes
(06:41):
through periods of stress and just the general emotional upset
and trauma, and that this rapidly uses up your stores
of vitamin A in your body, and with the result
that every little thing is stressful and the temptation to
turn to alcohol is great. And so when the body
(07:05):
is replete with vitamin A, we can manage stress with
humor and grace. Actually, now, when I'm talking about vitamin A,
vitamin A only comes from an animal source. Any other
vitamin A is synthetic, made in a laboratory, and it's
an incomplete vitamin and will not do the same job.
So that's why I recommend cod liver oil. Now, vitamin
(07:28):
D that's also present in cod liver oil. It's a
cofactor for vitamin A. In other words, they work together.
And a well known function of vitamin D is the
enhancement of serotonin uptake, something that alcohol does very well,
at least temporarily anyway, And vitamin D can also regulate serotonin,
(07:49):
which is your you know, your body's main feel feel
good chemical, without of course, causing a hangover. Now, I
would put the replenishment of vitamin A store in your
body as the very first step in treating alcoholism, and
cod liver oil is the best way to achieve this
and the most efficient economical way to do it is
(08:11):
cod liver oil is a liquid, and in the health
food stores and other places where that can be obtained,
it's refrigerated. If it's not if it's in a capsule
like the codliver oil I have at my website forbiddendoctor
dot Com, doesn't need to be refrigerated because it was
hermetically sealed away from oxygen. But if it's liquid in
(08:31):
a bottle, it has to be kept cold and refrigerated.
And so the most economical efficient way to do it
is to take it as a liquid. You just mix
it with a little warm water, stir it up, maybe
a little bit of lemon juice, and then shoot it
down the throat. But you can take capsules, and that's
the way most of my patients take it. Whether there's
a problem with alcohol or not. We still need vitamin
(08:51):
D and vitamin A, and the best source I've ever
found where they come together that's easy to take is
in cod liver oil. And doctor price that I was
referring to here a moment ago, a moment ago when
he was asked for the most efficient ways to treat
trauma and stress was very interesting. I've never tried this,
(09:12):
but it was in the written record, and what he
talked about was alternating drops of cod liver oil and
high vitamin butter oil under the tongue several times a day.
And the high vitamin butter oil would give you large
amounts of vitamin K two, which is a factor, a
cofactor for vitamins A and D and a key factor
(09:34):
for a healthy brain and nervous system. And you just
applied under the tongue where they're immediately immediately absorbed. That
bypasses the digestion, which may be compromised after a long
period of alcohol abuse. The next thing is bone broth. Now,
alcohol increases dopamine levels, which is what some people called
it the body's natural cocaine for a brief period, which
(09:57):
is why if you have one or two drinks and
suddenly you start feeling a little happier, a little bit better.
The problem is a lot of us can't stop at
one or two drinks. We keep going beyond that. But
just one or two drinks will raise the dopamine level.
And when our dopamine levels are low, you know, we
start looking there's no motivation, and we start feeling depressed.
(10:18):
And alcohol gives a temporary pep up, but as a
mechanism for dopamine production because the exhausted pep up may
be harder to achieve. But you remember the play Cat
on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams, and Brick
was played by Paul Newman in the in Elizabeth Taylor's
(10:41):
in that one of my favorite favorite movies, and he
talks about how alcohol was his most appreciated, mostly used
pep up. Now, when I'm talking about bone brows, bone broth,
I'm talking about a gelatine rich bone broth provides a
(11:01):
natural way to upregulate dopamine and it brings it to
a healthy level without preventing dopamine from becoming too high,
because when our dopamine levels get too high, we can
get manic. And bone broth also gives us glutamic acid,
which the body uses to produce gabba gaba, which is
a calming amino acid. It helps to depress the central
(11:23):
nervous system during moments of stress. But a mug, just
a mug of genuine bone broth in the morning and
in the evening can often be the alcoholics best friend,
and it provides nutrients neural transmitters, feel good chemicals the
substitutes for bone broth. You have to watch out for
it because broth it's made from bullion cubes or the
(11:44):
cheap soups are made from powdered bases, and any processed
food to which MSG in all its guises is added.
In other words, all processed foods. You have to stay
away from that because MSG works very differently in the
body compared to the natural glutamic acid that's in real broth.
(12:05):
Now you can make your own broth, of course that's
time consuming. You can get organic broth in a liquid
form in most grocery stores. The problem is the fat's
been removed and all you have is the broth, and
you need fat with it. If you're going to do
what I'm talking about here, and you want to do
it seriously with your bug, bug, you're a mug of
(12:26):
a store bought broth. You want to put in a
probably a good teaspoon of butter to go along with it,
and stir it up with your salt, your pepper, whatever
else you want to flavor it with. But I'm telling
you I've had patience. Get back to me and they'll
tell me within a half an hour after drinking a
cup of nothing more than bone broth organic mind you,
they feel a real pickup. Now the next thing, real
(12:49):
animal foods. Now, all the traditional peoples around this planet,
where they're kind of isolated from what's known as the
foods of commerce from grocery store foods, consumes some animal
foods raw, and it's a practice. It's rare in our culture,
especially in America, but raw animal foods provide our best
(13:10):
source of vitamin B six, which is necessary for the
formation of various neurotransmitters that are seriously impacted by the
consumption of alcohol and alcohol alcoholics tend to be deficient
in vitamin B six in part because this vitamin is
involved in clearing alcohol from the body through the liver,
(13:31):
and that's why we've always got you know, alcoholics usually
have some kind of a problem with liver as well
as kidneys. But of all the jobs that vitamin B
six helps an awful lot with inflammation. And we know
that when we have elevated homocysteine levels in the system
in the body because of some inflammation taking place in
the body for whatever reason, vitamin B six has a
(13:53):
way of bringing down and clearing home that that amino
acid out of Well, it's more than an amino acid,
but it clears it out through the liver. And we
know that the liver can clear out alcohol faster if
vitamin C B six is present. But the problem is
vitamin B six is rapidly destroyed by heat. But it's
(14:17):
fully intact in raw animal foods, which means delicious meat dishes.
And I've had this many times, steak tartar or carpatio,
or raw dairy products, raw milk, raw keefer, raw yogurt,
raw cheeses, and the recovering alcoholic needs to consume raw
animal foods every day. And then there's there's liver. Liver
(14:40):
is probably the most nutrient dense food in the human diet,
and it provides a just a host of compounds that
help us deal with stress, and it produces important narrow
transmitters and litter. Liver excuse me, literally nourishes fishes every
(15:01):
system in the body. And interestingly enough, oak tree liver
chicken livers is best because it has a great balance
of vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin K two. And
the best way to eat liver is to have some
delicious pote or liver Worst several times a week, both
(15:23):
of which are in specialty areas of the grocery store,
because it's not overcooked and the vitamins A and D
haven't been exposed to high heat. And actually, if you
get the right patae or the right liver worst, it's
actually quite quite delicious. And for those who can't learn
(15:43):
to like liver, desiccated liver capsules are also a good substitute.
So I was talking about liver, and I'm talking about
the foods that absolutely will help a recovering alcoholic stay
on the path that they've chosen, and I was talking
(16:03):
about liver, and the last thing I was talking about
is that some people absolutely just simply cannot eat liver. Well,
there are desiccated liver capsules that are a good substitute.
But another way I haven't tried this, but I had
somebody suggested to me. Another way to consume liver is
to cut pieces of organic or pasture raised chicken livers
(16:26):
into little p sized pieces and freeze them and then
swallow them like a vitamin pill. They're still raw, they're frozen,
so they have a certain hardness to them, and you
just swallow them down like you take some kind of
vitamin or supplement or something else, but you're getting the
rich vitamin A and vitamin D and vitamin K two
(16:47):
that's so necessary for balancing dopamine levels and other neurotransmitters
in the brain. Then there's animal fats, and even those
who wreck commend a high fat diet for alcoholics tend
to shy away from advocating animal fats because we still
have this drama in our country or Western culture, that
(17:12):
there's something bad about animal fats, and that's simply not true.
The overwhelming amounts of research of animal fats from animals
that are grass pastured. I'm not talking about the commercial stuff,
the commercial animals in the big feed lots, in whatever else,
(17:35):
loaded with pesticides in the food, herbicides in the food
which get into the meat and the fat of the animal.
Let alone the hormones and the antibiotics that's in the
fat of the animal, and it comes through because most
of those things are fat soluble, and being fat soluble
means they dissolve down in the fat and it's stored
in the fat. So when I'm talking about animal fats,
(17:56):
I'm talking about the animal fats that come from animals
that are grows pastured the way Mother Nature intended for
these animals to be raised. And so a lot of
people who I've read pamphlets and I've read websites of
certain organizations promoting improved diets for alcoholics, and they talk
(18:19):
about the fact that you need high fat because it's
such a great energy source. They stay away from animal
fats instead, they suggest loading up on olive oil and
coconut oil. Now, I have no problem with good, clean
olive oil and clean coconut oil, but these oils do
not contain the key ingredients that you get exclusively from
(18:40):
animal fats, namely the fat soluble vitamins A, D and
K two and an omega six fatty acid called a
racodonic acid. And a racodonic acid serves as a precursor
for our indogenous cannabinoids, which are the calming, free good
the call feel good neurotransmitters. Yes, you have, you have
(19:06):
receptor sites throughout your entire body that are sitting there
waiting for cannabis extracts cannabinoids to fill those receptor sites.
And where are those cannabinoids coming from your body? Makes them? So?
I remember when, you know, when they started to decriminalize
(19:29):
marijuana in certain parts of the country and certain parts
of the world now and some nations its completely legal.
In studying that and thinking and studying the effect of
marijuana on the brain and the the THC that marijuana provides,
(19:51):
where the high from marijuana comes from. And studying this,
I found out almost every cell in the human body
has a receptor site for this cannabis derived chemical. And
then the more I looked into it, the more I
researched it, your body makes it and it's a part
of the feel good, calming neurotransmitters that your body produces.
(20:16):
The cannabinoids. Well, there's only one place for the body
to get adequate arachidonic acid. It's not in a bush.
It's not in a tree, it's not in a root.
It's in animal fats like butter lard. A lot of
it's in egg yolks and meat fats. And another reason
(20:38):
to eat animal fats is they supply what's called the
eighteen carbon saturated fatty acid, which supports hormone production and
cell cell membrane integrity. And the body needs these saturated
fats and the body needs lots of them. Now. Remember,
over one hundred years ago, before the real onslaught of
(21:02):
heart disease in America, we had a tremendous intake in
our natural diets of animal fats and animal products. One
of the biggest frauds pulled over on the American public
was the idea that somehow animal fats would give you
heart attack, and they moved us to saturated or vegetable
(21:26):
vegetable oils Crisco. Crisco actually was originally developed as a
grease for in machines, and as they played around with
a little bit more, they found out how cheaply this
fat could be produced, and so they figured out, well,
let's find out if we can put it in food,
because we had a bigger market with food than greasing machines,
(21:49):
and that's where Crisco came from. It's, you know, it's
a simple thing to research that and find it out
for yourself, but Chrisco will give you a heart attack
ten times faster than animal fats will. In fact, animal
fats help to clean out the bloodstream, and so it's
very important that these animal fats are a present a
(22:10):
part of everybody's diet, not just the alcoholic. But if
we refuse to eat animal fats, the body has a
backup plan. Our body will make these fats out of carbs,
and since we're an animal, they're still an animal fat.
And the best way to get rid of cravings for
these carbs and avoid the blood sugar roller coaster that
(22:31):
these processed carbs are going to bring us is to
eat plenty of animal fats. So you eat meat with fat,
like eggs, especially the yolk, and enjoy full fat cheese,
and eat bacon for breakfast, and put butter on everything.
I'm serious, you want to put butter on almost anything.
(22:51):
You can get away with putting butter on. Do you
know what makes one ice cream superior to another ice cream?
Besides the flavoring that goes into it, it's the butterfat content.
The cheaper ice creams that you can buy. And I'm
not saying this is what we should be eating in
our diet. I'm just saying that this is what makes
(23:14):
one ice cream so much more delicious and desirable than another.
It's high butterfat content. The cheaper ice creams have a
lot much lower butterfat content, but the really good ones
and I'm not going to mention the brand names, you
know what they are, the national brand name ice creams,
and then some of them are in the still well,
I'm going to mention one Baskin Robins that you'll see
(23:37):
them in super supermarkets can have anywhere from twelve up
to fourteen percent butterfat. Now, interestingly enough, it's the tremendous
amount of sugar that makes that butterfat delicious. But it's
the butterfat that makes the ice cream so rich and
so desirable, and your body kind of pushes you at
(23:59):
edge you in that direction if you have a chance,
if you're gonna get some ice cream, that you get
a good ice cream because the body wants that saturated fat. Unfortunately,
it's been countermanded by the tremendous amount of sugar that's present.
But the point I'm trying to make is want you
want to start your day off with fat? Now you don't.
(24:22):
You're not gonna do it the minute you wake up.
But when you start to feel hungry, you can't have
a better breakfast in my opinion and experience with my
patience than eggs and bacon for breakfast. And if you're
gonna have toast or something to go with it, but
I don't recommend. But if you do, you want whole grain,
not whitebread. You want whole grain that is absolutely soaked
(24:42):
and wet with grass pastured butter, because then again, that's
got vitamins A, D and K two in it, and
those vitamins are so necessary for the neurotransmitters that just
calm us down. So you want to eat your meat
with a fat. I remember as a teenager when Mom
would make pork chops, she'd try cutting the fat off
(25:06):
the edge of the pork chop. Said, Mom, don't do that.
That's the most delicious piece. The pork chop without the
fat on it just is almost tasteless. Well, she was
caught up at the time in the general theory, and
I'm talking about late fifties, early sixties, that somehow animal
fats were going to kill everybody. But there's an interesting relationship.
(25:28):
The less people ate butter and the more they supplanted
it or replaced it with margarine, the faster heart disease
started to spread throughout our country. All Right, I want
to talk about salt, unrefined salt. The adrenal glands require salt,
especially in times of stress. And unrefined salt contains a
(25:48):
wealth of trace minerals with all the important roles to
play in maintaining your optimum health and freedom from cravings.
Very I like Celtic sea salt from France. There's other
Mediterranean salts from Europe. There's the real salt from the
salt mines in the state of Utah, the pink Chimleyan salt.
(26:14):
If the salt is just crystal white, it's probably sodium chloride.
And the salt that I'm talking about has a lot
of different minerals in it. That's why it's gray colored
or it has little pink flex inside of it, because
it's coming from seabed salt from millions of years ago.
That's the one that's got to trace minerals. Then another
(26:34):
thing fermented foods. Fermented foods like sour kraut will give
some very beneficial bacteria to the digestive tract, and these
bacteria produce many of the same feel good chemicals that
originate in our brain. The bacteria gives us these things.
In return, we give the bacteria a nice, healthy, moisture,
(26:55):
food filled environment in which they can live and multiply.
And it's the symbiotic relationship between the good bacteria and
our own and our own physiology, and there is uh.
Fermented foods are also a great source of vitamin C.
There can be as much as ten times more vitamin
C and raw sauer kraut than in raw cabbage. And
(27:19):
then vitamin C is the is the best friend of
adrenal glands in times of stress. And then the one
of the most common questions that I'm ask is, well,
if they can't drink alcohol, what can they drink because
they want to drink something with their meals. And I said, well,
you know, black coffee if if that's your your choice.
But what you know they tell you do you know
(27:42):
how doctor Jackson, how delicious a glass of wine or
a little bit of whiskey after dinner is? Well, how
about kombucha? I'm often talking about kombucha. Therapists will warn
alcohol therapists will warrn about kombucha because it contains a
very small amount of alcohol, about half a percent or less,
(28:03):
because of the fermentation process. But the same is true
of fruit juices. You can get almost any fruit juice
that's in a container that's more than a month or
two old. There's going to be about a half a
percent of alcohol in Yeah, the fruit juices that you
give your children. But if the recovering addict continues to
eat sugar and refine carbs which they have to stop,
(28:26):
their gut is going to make alcohol. So kombucha, you know,
it may be a problem if it's too sweet. So
you want to get a brand that has less than
five grams of sugar per serving, or even better, make
your own.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Lots of different things Shared insights Galore. Go to Good
Day Healthshow dot com. You can find the podcast there
and when you look up what goes on with your teeth,
you can perhaps have a little fun with doctor Jack
who has been getting some implants. He has very strong
recommendations about teeth what to do with them. So you
(29:05):
want to go over that with all of us, please,
because I could use that in for myself.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
Well, there's an awful lot of money to be made
in root canals. And when the pulp the nerve into
the bottom of the tooth, coming up through the roots,
begins to die, there's an awful lot of pain associated
with I mean some really bad pain, and people will
opt for a root canal. Now there's an awful lot
(29:32):
of information that has come forth now as to how
dangerous root canals are in the sense that when they
stick that little tiny drill down into the root to
remove the pulp which is going to make the tooth
pain free from now on, they put in a little
bit of essentially chlorox to completely kill off anything that
(29:54):
could be any bacteria that could be remaining down in
the bottom of that tooth. Well, interesting enough, there are
these microtubules tubes in the roots of the teeth that
are so small you can only see them in the
most powerful of microscopes. And I have seen estimates that
if you were to take all of these microtubules and
(30:15):
line them up, they would be miles long. And that's
just the root of one tooth, and they can't possibly
sanitize all of that area. So I have two podcasts
that forbiddendoctor dot com on root canals and why you
might want to consider another option, which is simply an implant.
(30:36):
And I don't recommend metallic implants. I recommend zirconia. And
that's kind of what's catching on in a lot of
the dental world now, is a zirconia because they're extremely
hard it's next to a diamond and hardness, and they
use that as the implant root, and then it's kind
of screwed into the jawbone and it takes several months
(30:58):
for the jawbone to properly it with that implant, and
then when it's as solid as the bone, they will
stick a crown on it.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, Cubics are cutting that the stuff they use in
place of diamonds. So it's probably pretty hard, as you're suggesting.
But what do you do with the pain in the
meantime you're talking about all these al terms. That's great,
but what makes the pain.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
You extract the tooth. You have to extract the tooth
in order to put in the implant, and depending on
where the tooth in the mouth is, they can stick
the implant in right after they take the tooth out.
But you just have to be careful. Oh no, they
take the whole tooth. They take everything, the root too. Yeah,
the root, well, it's all one piece. And you know,
(31:39):
the teeth up in the front of your mouth have
one root in the very back. Some of your molars
can have as much as three roots. But they take
the whole tooth out and then they sanitize that hole.
They sanitize that hole with a lot of ozone, ozone gas,
ozone water, because ozone is ten thousand times more bacterial
(32:00):
than chlorox is. Ozone is absolutely deadly to bacteria, so
they we'll wash it out with ozone.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Can you get that sort of that product to use commercially?
Like if you go to a certain drug store, can
you find that so that you can use to clean
other parts of your body?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Uh, I'm not. I don't know. That's why I don't
know about that. I have an ozonator in my house
that I use on my sinuses on a regular basis
to keep my sinuses clean, and then I irrigate the
sinus after ozone gas. And I've gotten through this entire
spring and summer and fall so far without any problems
(32:40):
with allergies regularly cleaning out my sinus passage with ozone.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Really all right? So that's good to know, all right.
