Believe what you want, but my observation, strictly anecdotal I suppose, is that such a "treatment" is more likely encourage the formation of those proteins.
My Dad and Aunt essentially died of the complications of those proteins. Both were more or less functioning alcoholics for most of their adult life. Their brother drank more, and had fewer obligations, since he had no wife or children. He died in his 50s.
Man, you are just ruining my perception of things. ;)
