Disulfiram drug and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme

If the theory about alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes and VA is right then all the alcoholics they take the drug Disulfiram long term should be VA toxic (they don't drink alcohol,because they have strong side effects after this drug). This drug almost completely shuts down these enzymes. I know about this drug because now it is a breakthrough treatment of borreliosis.

"Disulfiram (sold under the trade names Antabuse) is a drug used to support the treatment of chronic alcoholism by producing an acute sensitivity to ethanol (drinking alcohol). Disulfiram works by inhibiting the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, causing many of the effects of a hangover to be felt immediately following alcohol consumption."

If you know somebody who takes this drug - very popular now among lyme patients, they should not eat foods rich in vitamin A and VA supplements during therapy. And this drug also causes copper to accumulate in the brain.

OMG thanks didn't know this.  I wonder if my friend with lyme takes this...

I spent a while thinking that I must have the Asian gene for alcohol flush.  I read a theory that perhaps the alcohol flush "gene" came about because it kept people from being alcoholics, thereby increasing their chances of having offspring! 

Or maybe the alcohol flush people are just VA stingy.  It's a much simpler answer, IMO!

It's funny Bludicka,  You keep reminding me that over time, on my path of life, I've been made to realize the dangers of 1.  detox and chelation formulas including herbs etc  2.  medicines and 3.  supplements 4.  special diets !    (in that order)

Oh lordie. 

I suppose what's left is fresh air, sunshine, chicken soup, apple cider vinegar, good sleep and happiness!  🙂
