The truth is, a lot of people have trouble with alcohol. Even if it?isn?t full-fledged alcoholism, the amount many people drink may?be deemed high. For those who want to shake the pull of?alcohol, kudzu root has long been thought as a herbal remedy. Anew study assessed kudzu for this ability. Can the root of a plant?lower one?s desire for alcohol?
In China, kudzu root extract has been commonly used to reduce, but not eliminate, alcohol consumption and dependence. Despite its history, how the herb works is still unclear. That is what the focus of the new study was.
Kudzu has been around for centuries to treat alcohol intoxication, hangovers and other related problems. One possibility of how it works is through its various ?isoflavones.? These are biologically active molecules that can affect the body?s processes.
Recently, studies on animals showed reductions in alcohol consumption after treatment with isoflavones from the kudzu root. This set the stage for finding out what effects kudzu has on physical, behavioral and cognitive features in humans.
Twelve men and women were observed, so it was a small sampling. They received either kudzu or placebo for nine days before receiving an alcohol challenge to see what alcohol-related symptoms showed up.
They found that kudzu extract had little to no effect on people?s behavioral, physical or cognitive performance. But, kudzu did cause an increase in heart rate, skin temperature and blood ethanol levels in the participants. A rise in blood ethanol levels could translate into increased effects from the first alcoholic drink. That means you have a delayed desire for more alcoholic drinks. Thus, you drink less.
This rise in blood alcohol levels through kudzu could not be explained by the researchers. More studies will be needed. The idea here is that alcohol is reaching the brain earlier and you might stop drinking earlier or drink less because of it.
For now, if you or someone you know has serious alcohol dependence, speak to your doctor about this possibly impactful herb.
I believe it is a principle of human nature that has always been there. You see it in kids digging in the woods for that 'hidden treasure'. You see it in people walking on the beach looking for that 'message in a bottle'. You see it in cues of people in the local newsagent, hoping to buy that 'winning lotto ticket'.
What is it? I believe it is called false hope, hope that has been misplaced. It is great to dream and dreams have produced miracles in themselves, but to dream without any substance leads us to wasting our money and our lives. Finding the 'ultimate business opportunity on the internet' just by surfing and trying this opportunity and that one is the same mistake or false hope for many people.
If I could only find one opportunity that is so easy to do, I will get rich and never have to work again in my life. This is false hope.
So many people do dream and rightly so too because a great proverb tells us that 'without a dream the people will perish', but you get nothing for nothing these days and indeed from any time in history this is true. Everything has a cost and marketing on the internet today is the same.
Home Based Internet Business is not a lottery, it is not get rich quick, and it is like any other business venture the world has ever known. You need to plan, research, invest time and indeed sometimes money too. Before you look to the 1000's of business opportunities on the internet and remember a lot will promote the 'get rich quick' schemes, work out what you would like to do on the internet first, before you start looking. This will save you an enormous amount of time because when you know what you want, you will find it.
There are 1000's of people the world over earning substantial incomes from the internet, many at other peoples expense. Don't become a victim to these unscrupulous people because there are also 1000's of people earning substantial incomes with genuine opportunities just waiting for you to join them.
Please note though that they are 'Earning their Income'.
We all need to work at something, we are all creative, made in God's image, so work out what you would like to do whether you would like to market your own product or someone else's, find something that you will be passionate about and go for it, find out how you can make your home computer work for you. Don't be like myself and hundreds of thousands of others who have had this false hope about getting rich quick on the internet.
Spend some time browsing the internet and look at all the opportunities there are, with your own ideas in the back of your mind, and when you find something you like investigate further. Research the Affiliate programme before you decide to join, research the product you like before you decide to join and then later find you can't sell it.
It took me many months before I realised that like any offline business my internet marketing career is going to take me time, probably 18 months to 2 years before I see fruit for my labours. That's ok now though because I have taken the pressure off myself 'to get rich quick' and I am enjoying my Internet Marketing Career as an Affiliate Marketer again. At the end of the day self employment is meant to be something you enjoy for any number of reasons and it certainly isn't meant to be more burdensome than being employed in the secular world.
