Amazon.com Review
In recent decades, many of those studying alcoholism have come to see it as a disease, rather than as a character flaw or a failure of will. And yet, alcoholism is most often treated through counseling. Joan Mathews Larson and her colleagues at the Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, discovered a series of nutritional deficiencies in alcoholics, and found that with proper dietary adjustments, they could help almost three-quarters of their patients kick the bottle for good. Seven Weeks to Sobriety is the updated version of the less interestingly titled Alcoholism--The Biochemical Connection, which was published in 1992.

Top of the Line Book in the Field of Addictionology
This is a very powerful breakthrough book in the field of addictionology. First book to examine the physical realities behind alcoholism and the first real effort to treat alcoholism through orthomolecular therapy - recognizing the reality that indeed alcoholism is a physically based disease with real science to back it up. Larson's book is not just theory, but practical and successful. Her success rates back up her insights. The entire field must read this book if there is going to be any advancement in the treatment of alcoholism.

This program worked wonderfully for me...Recommended!!

On March 01, 2008 I quit five addictions that had held me for years and gave this program and honest shot. Almost daily I drank 8 to 12 (or more) beers, played 40 to 60 dollars of KENO, smoked 1 of pack of cigarettes, took 20mg of Prozac and drank 2 pots of coffee. Switching from ALL of the above to Dr. Joan Mathews Larson's nutrient programs outlined in Seven Weeks to Sobriety: The Proven Program to Fight Alcoholism through Nutrition. My urges for any of the above addictions have been "zero" to none. It has been nothing short of unbelievable for me. I am so thankful and recommend this book and program to anyone that struggles with drinking and thinks that it can not be licked. randy@springstead.net
