Hi,

I had good success using Strop based on the following hint given by
Clarke.
But it works only in cases where the pt himself wishes to break the
habit
and fails otherwise.

"A. P. Skworzow (H. W., xxix. 534) gave to a dipsomaniac, 63, for weak
heart and intermittent pulse, in 7- drop doses three times a day, an
infusion of Strop..
- The first dose caused nausea, and a repugnance to alcohol which
proved to be permanent.
- The man entirely discontinued the habit.
- On this hint Strop. was given to two other alcoholics, with the same
result of abolishing the taste for alcohol.
- It caused nausea and profuse sweating, and the sudden withdrawal of
alcohol was not attended with delirium"-Clarke.

"Nux, Sulphur, Lachesis, China, and again Arsenicum with several other
medicines will weaken or destroy the craving for alcohol in drunkards."
- Clarke.

(1) Military man, 64, broken down with gout and alcoholism and pretty
severe chronic bronchitis.
- Heart irregular.
- Liver and spleen enlarged.
- Complained bitterly of gnawing at pit of stomach.
- Gait tottering, hands quivered.
- He had lost his wife and had to keep himself up with nips of spirits,
for which he had a constant craving.
- Quercus robur. gland. spir. í, ten drops in water, three times a day,
completely revolutionised his state and took away his abnormal craving
for spirits.

[kr2 - Citrus vulgaris] -an orange eaten before break-fast is said to
destroy the desire for alcoholic.- Knerr

The best strategy would be to work out the smm on the totality than
Rxing only for this.

hope this helps,
