How to Prevent Wet Brain
If a person chooses to drink the best way prevent the onset of Wet Brain Syndrome is to eat well regularly and take plenty of vitamins. If you have a loved one who drinks and complains of nausea you should at least make sure they are taking multi vitamins especially B1 vitamins. When and if an alcoholic seeks treatment for a particular medical condition doctors should take care to administer vitamin shot or a thiamine IV. If you or someone you know is a heavy drinker, you should be sure that you or they get plenty of thiamine B1. If necessary stock up on it.
Wet Brain Syndrome can be treated successfully in many cases if caught and treated in time. However, if left untreated Wet Brain Syndrome suffers can fall into a coma or die. Sadly, if the sufferer has exhibited symptoms of amnesia and the chronic stage psychosis it is improbable that they will ever recover from this disease. Doctors often miss the diagnosis of Wet Brain Syndrome because the alcoholic patients symptoms of thiamine deficiency are often “sub-clinical’ or it does not show the signs of Wet Brain/Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome yet. Because alcoholics are already malnourished from a neglected diet, some doctors may replenish their glucose. But simply giving glucose to an alcoholic who has a thiamine deficiency without first giving thiamine vitamin B1 could result in sending them into the chronic stage of the disease.
