how does she think this works, as it is for treatment of alcoholism? I know there are side effects with other treatments used for RA, but this drug can cause liver damage and hepatitis.

Holistic doctors are using it in very low dose (1.5-4.5mg) to treat auto immune related issues. For alcoholism the dose is usually around 300mg. At low dose it has almost no side effects. I’ll see if I find a few links to share.
