a severe metabolic imbalance

A severe metabolic imbalance can mean any number of conditions (with regard to sugar addictions). Diabetes must be ruled out. Other metabolic imbalances that can affect sugar cravings include: hypoglycemia, candidiasis, liver toxicity (clinical or subclinical), food allergies, etc., etc. The correction of the imabalance depends on the root cause of the problem. I may be able to help direct you to where you can find answers. Have you had any blood work done? any other testing done? and briefly, what are your symptoms?
