Numb legs could be circulation, neuropathy, ALS or Multiple Sclerosis, just off the top of my head. The drink Kombucha, which contains caffeine and should be used in the AM, contains only trace amounts of alcohol but because of the way it is cultured with bacteria and yeast the sugars are broken down a little like alcohol and can reduce the metabolic cravings without getting you drunk. Some alcoholics have used it. To heal the liver, I hear wild fennel has liver restorative properties. With alcohol a 'cleanse' isnt necessarily what is needed. The liver does not accumulate alcohol the way it accumulates other toxins like heavy metals and environmental poisons, but it is damaged by excessive alcohol and will need to heal.

have his immune system checked - hiv, HPV, yeast infection - You need to get to the root - is it an messed up process - is it neuropathic pain- what have you. From that, some suggestions could be made. i don't reccomend fully raw foods. his digestive enzymes will need to readjust, so i reccomend slightly steamed veggies, and warmed juices instead Triphala is an excellent cleanser, rejuvinative - and is good for non specific situations.

an excellent drink for the liver is raw beets, carrots, cucumbers juiced.(strain out pulp). he should start slow since he probably has a very heavy load of toxins in his cells and they will be released into the blood as he becomes healthier, happier, higher. any kinds of fresh raw vegetables and fruits, and their juices will be excellent, not only to relieve, detox and rejuviante, but also to maintain a state of vibrant health. In Peace Nicolas

Alcoholics have found relief from medical cannabis (legal in Maryland) and herbs like kava,valerine along side a high PROBIOTIC diet. This will help to reintroduce beneficial bacteria that have suffered years of abuse.I will pray for your friend .

i have a dear friend whom this happened to. HEAVY alcoholic for 15 or 16 yrs until now. he's on a slew of meds (i didn't get the names but figure i could research that when i was there and had the herbs relevant) . he says his leg from his knee to his toe is numb. doc says liver is better than it should be, and diabetes was ruled out. i know this is not much info, but if any one has any experience or insight........
