This is true, because both the B vitamins and vitamin C help your liver detoxify alcohol.
Here’s what I recommend: at a party, be sure to drink as much water as alcohol. Then, before you go to bed, take 2000mg of vitamin C and a heaped spoonful of glutamine powder in water (approximately 5 grams). Do the same when you wake up, and have a hearty breakfast with your daily supplements, including some extra B vitamins in a B Complex formula.

PACE Health Committee denounces ‘unjustified scare’ of Swine Flu, waste of public money.
So, for many, it won’t be such a big surprise, that we’ve also heard that the three scientists who authored the World Health Organization guidance document for the swine flu pandemic were in the pay of the drug companies. The very drug companies due to profit so much from stockpiles of vaccines, if governments could be persuaded to stockpile. Once again we get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes corporate puppeteering that compromises our freedoms. Such manipulation resulted in an estimated £1bn wasted stockpile of drugs and vaccines and officials are now attempting to unpick expensive drug contracts.
How many more worthy causes could that money have been spent on? Using independent expertise to save the delicate natural ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico from oil emanating from BP’s deep sea drilling disaster is one that comes to mind just now, especially given the foot-dragging from BP. But coming back to the swine flu debacle, apart from money, just how much anxiety, fear and suffering could have been avoided?

Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) Intl’s Robert Verkerk went head to head with Basil Mathioudakis, head of the food law unit at the European Commission, at the end of April over ANH-Europe and the Irish Association of Health Stores’ petition to the European Parliament (EP) on Maximum Permitted Levels.
It was a win for common sense when the EP Petitions Committee unanimously agreed to keep open the ANH’s and four related petitions, that questioned how the European regulators were going about limiting maximum levels of vitamins and minerals to potentially ridiculously low levels.
