Alcoholism May NOT Be Hereditary

A study suggests that alcoholism may not be hereditary and that eighty percent of all alcoholics are born with a (genetic) deficiency in their opiod levels.  

Their manufacturing cells NEVER produce enough opiods for them to feel “normal”, like the rest of us. They walk around all of the time with an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.

When the brain is unable to produce the required levels of chemicals naturally, an individual often learns to self-medicate with alcohol and other substances.

In the brain, alcohol produces “tetrahydroisoquinolines” or TIQ’s. TIQ’s so closely resemble opiods that they actually “trick” the brain into thinking this individuals opiod levels are normal. The alcoholic now feels good. The “uncomfortable” feeling is gone.

BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM . . .

The more alcohol this person consumes, the more the brain is tricked into thinking the opiod level is normal because of the presence of the TIQs.

When TIQs are present, the brain signals the manufacturing cells to stop producing any more opiods (which were not enough to begin with).  The more these Manufacturing Cells are inactive, they actually atrophy, or die, which means EVEN LESS opiods are produced.  Now the alcoholic has to consume even more alcohol to get rid of the “uncomfortable” feeling. A vicious cycle is created.
