World Alcoholism Mess. Sec. 1
Authors Note
“The WHO & USDHHS Promoted World Alcoholism Mess” ("World Alcoholism Mess" for short), paper first published in the year 2004 and its revised edition in 2005.
The importance of this paper to my present Scientific Misconduct Allegation Report is that its recognition at that time that there is a “mess” or “blunder” going on in the field of alcoholism prevention treatment research. Although then I had not yet identified it clearly as the Scientific Misconduct.
Here I have decided to publish it in this blog one by one in five sections.

A Broad Summary of this Paper
Alcohol “dependence,” [1, 2] syndrome, [18b] alcoholism [7a, 9] doctrines, [1, 2, 3… 6...7...8…9, 10...11...12...13...14...15...18…22.] build almost entirely and fundamentally on the obsessive grounds of the psychoactive substance alcohol “DRUG desire, craving”[1,2,3a,b, c. 8i, 8j, 9, 10a, 18b, 22], its “impaired control” (loss of control), bn/ culminating into its “substance dependence” promulgations; [1, 2, 3... 6... 7… 8…9, 1-0…18...] which utterly disregards its primary biological “drink (thirst, taste, and the stomach) satiety desire,” in its total fixation with the psychoactive drug desire; promoted by the worlds leading health ‘Establishments’; particularly, the World Health Organization (WHO)[3] and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) [5] their component departments [6, 18]; that which, propagate the solution of alcohol “dependence”, basically in ‘total abstinence’ [3c.., 7a,..9, 8d, 10b, c...18…]; with those prejudicial, preposterous proverbs, which ‘decrees’ “alcoholism is a chronic…disease”… “alcoholism cannot be cured”[9], “Cutting down” on drinking doesn’t work; ‘cutting out alcohol (total abstinence) is necessary for a successful recovery’ [7a] etc. These alcoholism dogmas based doctrines as a whole now under the scrutiny of this ‘ZAD alcoholism research paper’, has been exposed, and indicted as; the Biggest World Health Blunder, perhaps in the entire records of the modern world History!
Alcoholics Curewell hereby challenges and ‘refutes’ the Establishments before mentioned ‘drug desire’ bigoted alcohol ‘dependence’, its syndrome or alcoholism doctrines and its dictums, decrees or dogmas; by furnishing the “Irrefutable, Infallible, and Impregnable ZAD practice. Its primary physical/biological facts basically proves that the alcohol “dependent” people or alcoholics* are absolutely capable or able to “control” (cut-down, reduce, limit,) their excessive (hazardous, harmful) drinking [18c] or alcohol consumption** by adapting to this simple, safe and appetizing ZAD “practice”. [19c] Its book published in 2000[19] and in 2003 in the web [19a]. All of it certainly proves that the ‘total abstinence’ is “not” the only recovery option available for the alcohol dependent people, in fact the ‘ZAD’ model offers a better alternative, a “complete cure” for the alcohol “dependence” to its syndrome or alcoholism.
The ZAD therapy/practice (model) is a simple, inexpensive, safe and above all a very appetizing (delicious) natural and prudent way (procedure) of alcoholic beverage drinking that indeed infallibly prevents eliminates and cures the alcohol dependence! Its method or technique based on the ‘practical’ drinking condition that strictly cautions particularly to the alcohol dependence people to: “ALWAYS MIX (OR SIMULTANEOUSLY CONSUME) ‘PROGRESSIVELY ADEQUATE PROPORTION’ OF APPETIZING NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WITH THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE. AND DRINK IT STOMACHFUL, FOR SATIETY”! IN OTHER WORDS, NEVER TO DRINK HIGH ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE BEVERAGES (ESPEDIALLY WHILE IN THE ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE) INSTEAD ALWAYS DRINK SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH LOWER ALCOHOL PERCENTAGE BUT HIGHLY DELICIOUS ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES THAT PRIMARILY PROVIDES THE FULL DRINK SATIETY”! This can infallibly prevent also concretely reduce and remove all the four basic “symptoms” of alcoholism [9] namely:- 1). CRAVING 2). LOSS of CONTROL 3). PHYSICAL DEPENDENCE 4). TOLERANCE. In other words, rather than providing a life long diseased “relapse” prone “recovery” of the “Total Abstinence” the ZAD practice[19c], provides a complete “cure” from the alcohol “dependence” its syndrome[18b] or the so called disease [7a]
Alcoholism in general said to have multiple causes such as genetic/hereditary, [8r,8s,10j,10p] neurological, [8f, 8t,10q,10r] psychological, (spiritual?) social etc.[10b] However, this simple, inexpensive and safe ZAD therapy/practice provides a complete recovery in all these cases irrespective of their basic hypothetical causes! as the ‘Total Abstinence’ (TA) practice does! In other words the ZAD practice in its essence is as ‘infallible’ (unassailable) as the total abstinence practice (if not more) when followed; and is a quick effective, and successful way of prevention and treatment of the alcohol dependence! Above all we claim that the ZAD retains or even increases the delicious pleasure of the alcohol drinking and at the same time gradually reduces the overall alcohol consumption therefore it is the most “prudent” way for any alcohol drinkers especially for the alcoholics who gradually wants to attain the ‘abstinence’ while retaining the delicious pleasures of the drinking instead of suddenly quitting and abandoning the drink that could make them vulnerable to the fatal “relapse”! Moreover, under the ‘ZAD’ model the alcoholics (so far diagnosed as such) even while continue drinking alcoholic beverages still can completely come out of their alcohol ‘dependence’, which is why we primarily claim that they will get completely cured of it! This is the most basic and greatest advantage of this ‘ZAD’ practice over the ‘total abstinence’ practice.
The basic flaw or defect of the establishment entire ‘Total Abstinence’ models are that; they provide only a relapse prone recovery and not a complete cure thus essentially retain the ‘incurable or chronic state or condition of the alcoholic disease’ inside the person dormant, which in effect totally prevents the so called alcoholics from getting cured of it through out their life! This always threatens to “relapse” into full-blown disease and totally ruin their life, if the person reverts back into drinking. On the other hand with this ZAD model the alcohol ‘dependents’ (alcoholics) simply can no more fall into that dreadful alcoholism “relapse” even when they continue drinking alcoholic beverages! (However, we caution our readers not to basically compare the ZAD model with the TA models, as its direct opposite) Besides that, the ZAD model also fundamentally differs from the existing “Controlled” or moderation [20q, 35, 41, 42]) drinking (CD) models. Even though ideologically it may have something in common and they also basically question the Total Abstinence’s [39] overall accomplishments, nevertheless, we see these moderate-drinking (CD) models mostly aims at the “problem drinkers” (alcohol abusers? [41]) and basically the extensions or promoted ultimately under the “protection” guaranty of the Total Abstinence! [19i]. Horribly enough their formulations of “moderate” or safe drinking levels standards alcohol drinks could dangerously work as the alcohol “priming dose”[10ab] which could potentially lead the vulnerable people (young natural voluptuous predisposed adults) treacherously into the drinking, excessive [18c] alcohol consumption and subsequently into its dependence!
Overall, the Biological Need Satiety (BNS) based perspective of the ZAD model reveals a new biological ‘need’ dimension, the real cause hidden inside many of the human ‘Addictions’. [18c] As the ZAD cures the alcohol dependence successfully; it fundamentally question the Establishments narrow-minded (one-sided); psychoactive drug desire bigoted craving, impaired control ‘dependence’ basis in their every other human “addictions” its prevention and treatments as a whole! The ZAD model indeed opens up new biological need satiety frontiers in the prevention and treatments of great many of the human ‘addiction’! [ 20e, 20f, 20g, 20ga]
Now coming to the worlds leading health care Establishments (WHO& USDHHS etc.) principle disease diagnostic manuals; the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10)[1] and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Fourth Edition (DSM IV)[2]. The ‘alcohol dependence’ diagnostic guidelines, definitions; given in these both documents are basically founded or built on those first mentioned narrow-minded (one-sided) psychoactive drug desire bigoted alcohol dependence doctrines and its dogmas, which totally discard the drink satiety desire side of the alcoholic beverages drinking and its dependence! Their extended versions, reflected in the establishments principle alcohol dependence research study documents, mainly in the: WHO Management of Substance Abuse [18] particularly in the Alcohol Dependence Syndrome[18b], and almost in their every alcohol dependence publications, fact sheets, expert committees reports [3a,..3L, 3m... 18,a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h, etc]. Also in the NIAAA [6] alcohol dependence, alcoholism related Publications [6a…], Pamphlets/Brochures/Poster[7…] Alcohol Alert[8…] FAQ[9],Alcohol Research & Health[10…], Special Reports[13], AOD Thesaurus[15], and many more! In all of which the “basic premise” of the alcohol “dependence” its syndrome or the alcoholism as a whole has been profoundly contaminated by those first mentioned preposterous drug desire bigoted alcoholism doctrines of ‘craving, impaired control, substance dependence, and the dogma of ‘total abstinence’ that basically disregards the humans natural biological drink satiety desire or the drink desire satiety aspect involved in peoples alcoholic beverage drinking and its dependence!
The same narrow-minded (one-sided) alcohol drug desire bigoted doctrines and its dogmas descend into the establishment’s alcohol dependence prevention and treatment paradigm! Their ‘Screening and Brief Interventions’ manuals, modules, guides [3c, 3ca, 8b,c,d,e,f,k,m…10b, 10c,10e, 11, 12,13..15..]! Their Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)[3b], CAGE, MAST, TWEAK and many such instruments [8b]. All of them callously discard the peoples natural biological need or desire for the drink satiety basically involved in their habit of alcohol drinking and its dependence! Horribly enough; “a standard alcohol drink” injudiciously prescribed in their safe, low-risk, moderate, controlled (how to cut-down your drinking) drinking guideline modules** [3b, 3ca, 3cb, 8o, 7a,..9 10h, 25, etc.] contains dangerously high amounts of alcohol percentage compared (relative) to the inadequate (total) amounts of ‘drink’ they contain which totally fail to provide the drink satiety for a vulnerable drinking (binging) person within their limited two or three standard alcohol drinks! Therefore such so-called safe, low-risk, moderate, counts of standard alcohol drinks could potentially lead many such vulnerable segments of “voluptuous” (binging) alcohol drinkers dangerously or treacherously into the alcohol dependence! The “Alcohol policy”[3k, 8q] makers of the establishment also totally engrossed with the same alcoholism doctrines and its dogmas, based alcohol policies also callously discard the positive natural biological drink satiety aspect ( that could have successfully prevented those from the excessive alcohol consumption) involved in the alcoholic beverage drinking thus totally fail in bringing in any more positive or constructive, alcohol policies in the prevention of the alcohol dependence, alcoholism!
So far to our knowledge the ‘Establishments’ have not obliged to our request to conduct an independent study research experiment on our ZAD model. In fact one of the main objective of this ZAD endeavors (papers) is; to convince them to do so! Interestingly however, globally there are overwhelming empirical evidence that the alcohol drinkers as a whole in general (young people in particular) opt for drinking more lower alcohol content beverages than the strong distilled-spirits! [3L, 3m, 3n, 6a,12] The most well known is fact that when threatened with alcoholism, many alcohol drinkers instinctively replace their drinks with the lower alcohol content beers as a strategy to reduce their overall alcohol consumption! [20k] The general practice of mixing (titration) of the distilled-spirits with the non-alcoholic beverages (mixers) could be also the part of the reason. There are many control drinking web sites [26, 27] including the WHO and the NIAAA [3ca, 7b] in their “How to cut-down or reduce your drinking”, give such non-alcoholic beverage drinking advise that indorse the basic validity of the ZAD practice! Contemporary research proves human appetite very much linked to alcoholism [20L, 20m, 20n, 20o, 22] as basically claimed by the ZAD model! Most important of all are the research study publications some of which I have given in the main text of this paper[20a, 20ac]. All of which in principle stand as a testimony for the basic validity of this ZAD model!
Nevertheless, the Establishments mainstream alcoholism ‘drug desire bigoted’ research reports or documents (doctrines) totally discourage, “disprove” or even forbid any such ‘delicious’ tasting lower alcohol content alcoholic beverage especially for the young people who are more prone to alcohol use disorders and its “dependence”! They argue that these appetizing alcoholic beverages even though lower in alcohol content does not significantly reduce the alcoholics over-all (total) alcohol consumption, on the contrary the delicious taste and flavor of these lower alcohol beverages may even entice them to drink much more of these appetizing beverages so finally their over-all alcohol consumption remains the same “high” or may even exceed the previous levels (binging, boozing)! The establishments rather seems to have deep misgivings about the newly marketed lower alcohol content, deliciously tasted and flavored alcoholic beverages called alcopops! The huge hue and cry raised by the ‘Centre for Science in the Public Interest Alcohol Policies Project’ (CSPIAPP) [28] which seems to be at the forefront of this battle, argues that these ‘alcopops’ which they say disguised in a delicious taste and flavors, (to mask the alcohol inside) posses far greater threats dangers or harms for the teenage drinkers (let alone the alcoholics)! The WHO also strongly raises same concerns about these alcohol premixed delicious fruit lemonades collectively known as “alcopops”[3d, 3L]! Garry Slegg[29] who conducted the ZAD book review (2000) in the journal of ‘Addiction’[22a] in this connection quotes “Alco pops may actually lead to an increase in the level of consumption among young people” (BMA, 1999)! It is due to such preposterous narrow- minded one-sided, ‘half-truths’, prejudices, propagandas against the delicious (appetizing) lower alcohol content alcoholic beverages dominated by such drug desire bigoted alcoholism doctrines and dogmas* that plagues the establishments entire alcohol dependence, alcoholism prevention and treatments!
Now contrary to the establishments above mentioned fanatical anti-alcopop stand point; we strongly contend that adding highly delicious taste flavor and at the same time lowering the alcohol content (percentage) in the alcoholic beverages while drinking can successfully replace the alcohol drug desire and can substantially reduce the overall alcohol consumptions! Therefore, we favor that the delicious taste and the flavor of the alcopop can be positively employed (particularly under the ZAD pioneering ‘Alcohol Policy’) to prevent the people (especially the young people) from falling into the alcohol dependence and at the same time enabling the other alcohol dependent people to come out of and get completely cured of it.
This newly compiled ZAD therapy/practice model paper [19b] heralds, three pioneering alcoholism prevention and treatment landmark frontiers i.e. 1. The ZAD Clinical Therapy 2. The ZAD Practice and 3. The ZAD Policy. First of all it is most important to know that the ZAD Clinical (inpatient) therapy EMBODIES the ZAD practice that comprises of the alcohol detoxification and its dependence prevention and elimination, which has been explained in details in the last part of this paper. The “ZAD Alcohol Policy” (third one) outlined in principle, in between in this paper, which is fundamentally different from the establishments alcohol policies! [3a, 3k, 8q, 10g] The “ZAD practice”[19c](second one) is the nucleus of this ZAD model*, however for some necessary reasons** published separately or independently in conjunction with this paper. Another most important feature of this paper is that it takes major departures from all my previous ZAD literatures as it complies with the “TERMINOLOGIES” guidelines, expounded by the establishments [3, 6] while at the same time indicting them of promoting the World Alcoholism Mess! It also presents a list of numbers of “references” together with many valuable research study reports empirical evidences that could endorse the basic validity of the ZAD model! And finally the 1100$ Alcoholics Reward to any one who disprove or refute the ZAD practice!
The single most important “irrefutable physical/biological fact” or the basic evidence of the ‘ZAD Practice’ is that; first and foremost it immediately and infallibly prevents and eliminates the principle or core symptom of alcoholism generally known as ‘impaired control’[18b,18c] or loss of control [9] along with subduing or dispelling its biological drink desire (appetite) or the ‘craving’.* [19g] Its underlying physical/biological laws are so impregnable that no one can “truly” deny it! To make this absolutely certain, here we openly challenge to the entire alcohol dependence research study, prevention therapy treatment, health care providing establishments, to bring in any number of their chronic alcohol dependent people listed under the ICD-10[1] or DSM-IV[2] diagnostic norm, also confirmed under their AUDIT[3b, 3c, 3ca], MAST, CAGE and other Alcohol Dependence Scale (ADS) instruments [8b, 8k, 8K] guidelines. Now let them demonstrate or prove any of their alcohol dependence listed or classified people still continues to remain or retain the alcohol dependence in following our ZAD Clinical Therapy and its Practice! At the same time we challenge to demonstrate and prove that every single of this alcohol ‘dependence’ people will entirely get rid of their alcohol ‘dependence’, alcoholism and completely get cured of it while they still continue drinking alcohol by following this ZAD practice! By all these accounts, there basically remains nothing more for us to prove about it! In fact the only thing that it essentially requires is to “disprove” its primary physical facts by those who basically reject it. To corroborate with this challenge we are also offering an “1100$ Alcoholic Reward” as our pledge to anyone concerned, to come forward and disprove the ‘ZAD practice’. So that the concerned authorities (or any one) in the establishments can examine, test and verify its irrefutable, infallible, and impregnable primary physical facts that we present as its unassailable basic evidence! If no one comes forward and able to disprove or refute it then the fact itself should be treated as the major endorsement and the evidence on behalf of the ZAD model.
To sum up this broad summery briefly in one paragraph: The ZAD model in this research paper [19b] complying with the establishments own “terminologies” now on the concrete basis of its Therapy/Practice/Policy, its facts findings empirical evidence together with its “1100$ Alcoholic Reward” promulgation basically challenges and indicts the establishments alcohol “dependence” (alcoholism) research study documents publications, prevention and treatment models or doctrines as a whole, as disregardful of the peoples natural biological drink (thirst, taste, and the stomach) satiety desire, involved in their alcohol beverage drinking and its “dependence”; and claim that such narrow-minded, one-sided drug desire bigoted alcoholism doctrines and dogmas are in fact responsible for much of the World Alcoholism Mess or the mayhem that we face today. The principle message of its “ZAD model” is very simple and clear: it basically contends that it can infallibly prove that it can completely eliminates and cure the alcohol dependence its syndrome or alcoholism while the person still continues to drink alcohol under this ZAD alcohol drinking method or condition, while NONE of the establishments alcohol dependence treatment therapies could accomplish it! This indisputably proves that the ZAD model is far superior to the establishment alcohol dependence (alcoholism) prevention and treatments models in every respect!
Finally at the closing stages of this summary, I request to our readers not misunderstand us. We don’t question the establishment’s all the good intentions and the best efforts also the innumerable positive results of their alcohol dependence prevention and treatments. This paper never intends to disrespect them in any way! We fully acknowledge their great contributions in the prevention and treatments of alcoholism that undeniably saves, obviously billions of cost burden to the world nations, prevents hundreds of millions of people from the deadly clutches of alcohol dependence and millions from their fatal demise! However, unfortunately their one-sided (narrow-minded) approach to rescue the people from the clutches of alcohol dependence, sloppily falls victim and gets lost (at least a part of it) to their own ignorance of the major prevention treatment and complete cure aspect of alcohol dependence; as they totally disregard the peoples primary natural “drink desire satiety” aspect involved in the alcohol drinking and its dependence! In other words, while dogmatically hanging onto their most ancient ‘total abstinent’ solution they completely fail to recognize or understand its equally most ancient natural alternative, a simple, safe, inexpensive and enjoyable (pleasurable) lower alcoholic beverage drinking technique (method, strategy, approach) in the prevention and treatment of the alcohol dependence.
At the end, on the grounds of the world health humanitarian principles, constitution; “to promote and protect the health of all peoples”[3q] we challenge the worlds leading health concerns particularly the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS), their components[6,18] involved in the alcoholism research its prevention treatment therapies; to come forward and prove their above mentioned alcohol dependence ‘syndrome’ diagnosis or their alcoholism symptom doctrines, dictums, precepts that ultimately culminates into their dogma of “Total Abstinence” (1, 2…3b..7a…9..18b..] now under the concrete grounds of the ZAD therapy/practice. In fact, our first principle demand with concerned departments is; to repudiate or disprove our ZAD clinical therapy and the practice[19c] and take away its “Reward”! If not, then we implore them to include this ZAD therapy/practice and the policy in their prevention and treatment programs [3c, 3ca, 8e, ..10b, c,..] If followed, it will certainly prevent and eliminate at least a significant portion of the ongoing alcohol dependence or alcoholism problems[3d, 3f, 3g, 3h, 3n, 8e, 8g, 8n, 13, 14a…] in our world today. All this may seem most difficult to understand or to believe for the establishments authorities but it could prove to be equally True!
