So I wonder what they say about the breakdown of enzymes with addictions besides alcohol? A craving for something that you mentally know is bad for you but at the same time it feels so good when you are newly addicted. I often wondered why something that made me feel good could turn around and bite me so bad.
I don't see though with addictions to drugs or opiates how it could be so easily explained as an allergy. There is no acetone to breakdown.
I don't know that I really buy the allergy theory because it doesn't explain nicotine addictions or other addictions that are helped by recovery programs. I am sure someone out there may have an explanation.

I get the fact that if say wheat is something I am allergic to and I abstain from wheat then I am no longer bothered by the allergy. Recovery programs keep us away from the source of the supposed allergy.
