I think you guys are saying that the triggering effects of alcohol is the dopamine path,(reward feedback) wrongly because of craving. I think there's a energy path that drives it differently. The acetone drives two paths the dopamine and the muscle drive its a wholly different drive because its a drive with a numbing (reduced anxiety) path. try working with someone fully alcohol dependant with a drive of sex, work out and life (semi normal). Trip points I see...1.to close to failure (1st drink to change) 2. what long term effect as allow wonder (Hemingway)
My 80 year old Mum has just been diagnosed with Parkinson's and while she has every reason for having low DA levels I'm curious about how protein levels affect the condition as protein is the protective nutrient for muscles. She eats very little protein, definitely not even close to the RDI. Also, how does protein intake affect DA levels in this situation?
