now if you are interested

in reducing the amount of alcohol you

are addicted i’m sorry craving

this video is for you now there’s many

reasons why people drink alcohol reduce

stress

uh maybe for health reasons which i did

a video on that there is

zero health benefit to drinking alcohol

now in the liver you have

a couple different enzymes that break

down alcohol now the first one takes

ethanol

and turns it into a toxic material

called acetyl aldehyde which is the

chemical that causes damage to your

cells it’s the chemical that gives you a

hangover that makes you feel kind of

funky and then there are other enzymes

to break it down further into acetic

acid which is actually vinegar so in

your body the liver turns alcohol

into vinegar which is interesting and

vinegar is non-toxic for your liver

so there’s a natural remedy that has

virtually no side effects that can help

reduce or prevent the consumption of

alcohol it’s very studied with

significant results it’s been around

since at least

600 a.d which was used in chinese

medicine but the effect on alcohol to

the liver

is not good it depletes your vitamin b1

which gives you a whole series of

additional side effects it can increase

your risk for getting cancer it

increases fat on your liver

inflammation on your liver increases

your risk of getting cirrhosis which is

scar tissue on your liver and it

increases estrogen in the body so

the more estrogen the less testosterone

you’re going to have and so this natural

herb is called kutsu

and kutsu is that plant that you see on

the side of the road

that literally covers

trees and

fences and so this plant kutsu is in the

legume family and i’ve been looking at

it as an alternative source to feed my

farm animals

because it’s very very high in nitrogen

and protein it’s like 26 protein and

even humans can eat it they can put in

their salad or they can take it as an

extract it’s also really good to put in

your compost as the green manure because

it’s very very high in nitrogen so it

can act as an organic

slow releasing nitrogen to make your

plants grow really well and really spike

the chlorophyll content but

you can also use it to help reduce your

craving for alcohol in one study this is

a placebo placebo-controlled

double-blinded study

and it was done in mice

they showed just one dose okay two grams

of kutsu within two and a half hours

produced a significant decrease

in the desire to drink

alcohol now the chinese translation of

kutsu

means

drunkenness dispeller or make less drunk

so kutsu has these very special

phytonutrients that’s involved in the

breakdown

of

ethanol very similar to certain

medications they use to help people

curb the appetite for alcohol but

without the side effects so when you

consume this extract or consume the leaf

in a salad you will not only desire less

alcohol

but you will have less toxic effect from

alcohol in fact you’ll probably find

that you won’t get a hangover so a

couple ways to apply this

you can take katsu extract

before you go to a social event or a few

hours before you’re going to drink and

you’re going to find that you’re just

not going to have that desire as much

now kutsu also works on the

neurotransmitters in your brain

gaba

dopamine which are both directly

involved in addiction and there’s also

one study i found that you can use kutsu

to help reduce the addiction or cravings

for even cocaine if you have a problem

with that but kutsu is totally edible

you can use it as a green very similar

to eating swiss chard for example where

you’re going to cook it

you’ll still get the benefits

so on that note that’s your remedy to

help reduce the amount of alcohol and if

you haven’t seen my other video on how

to repair your liver using natural foods

i put that up right here check it out
