wanted to share somethin i read today, think im going to give it a try, not somethin i woulda thought of bfore.

"27 individuals, who had been diagnosed by a psychiatrist as having a gambling addiction, and had gambled in the week prior to the trial starting, were given 600mg of the amino acid N-acetyl-cysteine (amino acids are building blocks of protein) for 2 weeks, increasing to 1200mg and 1800mg as the study progressed. At the end of the eight weeks, 60% of the participants reported a reduced urge to gamble. "

That is correct. Many addictions come from the lack of proper nutrients. Yes you read that right. The urge that people get to do things and the lack of what the body needs causes chemical imbalances and somethings that people do seem to temporarily take away from those feelings.

Heh I have not heard or read this one before, it is a good study, even though I don`t know much about that substance I bet it is benefic for gambling addictions , i think it changes the way a gambler thinks of gambling in general, that`s why those 60% have lost much of their will to gamble. Interesting article!
