Dr. Bob was a MD internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, MD psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years.  He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away.  Dr. Bob first started treating alcohol addiction in the 1930's.  He continued to treat abusive drinkers 7 decades. 

Dr. Bob specialized in orthomolecular medicine.  This is a system of medicine that uses mainly natural substances that are non-toxic and safe in wide range of doses.  Orthomolecular medicine mainly uses herbs and minerals/vitamins. 

The main vitamin that is involved in the brain is vitamin B5.  Vitamin B5 is essentially the vitamin that runs the brain.  The body works by the methods of chemical reactions.  For example, some researchers estimate that approximately 100,000 chemical reactions take place each minute in the brain!  Vitamin B5 is necessary for many of these chemical reactions to take place. 

Many times Dr. Bob found he could give vitamin B-5 to an abusive drinker with alcohol memory loss.   Dr. Bob found supplementing B5 in the appropriate doses could improve or restore memory. 

The following are Dr. Bob's nutritional ideas to improve or reverse alcohol memory loss: 

1.      1 gram of vitamin B5 in the AM and PM.

2.      A B-50 in conjunction with the B5 – the B vitamins all work together.

3.      A multivitamin and mineral.  Most chemical reactions in the body require cofactors and a multi provides many of the cofactors vitamin B5 will need to do its work.  Dr. Bob advised the brand Maxilife.  He said it had appropriate doses to help restore memory.

4.      ½ teaspoon inositol powder in AM and PM for some – it helps to improve brain velocity, which helps to improve overall brain health, including mood and cognition.

5.      Drink 8-12 glasses of distilled water.  Alcohol often dries out the brain and other tissue.  B6 helps control water balance in cells (B6 is contained in the B50).  When you drink lots of distilled water and supplement B6, this can help restore water into dried tissue.  Often, Dr. Bob said drinking lots of water and B6 could restore alcoholic memory (Dr. Bob said alcoholic memory and thinking capacity can sometimes be restored in less than a week, when you restore water to brain tissue).

6.      250 mg of CDP.  Choline helps the brain in many ways. 

Note – In order for these anti-aging ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, “almost all supplement companies produce poor quality.”  You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval.  Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards.
