Addiction is one of the most serious health issues facing our twenty-first century culture. Modern lifestyles encourage us to consume excessive amounts of caffeine and sugar and to unwind from our stressful lives with tobacco or alcohol. Left untreated, some addictions can cause metabolic damage, leading to heart disease, high blood pressure, and immune disorders--as well as causing nutritional deficiencies, fatigue, and depression.

Addiction-Free--Naturally offers gentle but effective ways to ease cravings and nourish the body, as well as information on cleansing the body of accumulated toxins and using natural remedies for stress relief. The remedies can be used in conjunction with conventional therapies, such as psychotherapy or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. The author also offers advice on designing a personal program to break addiction and finding a health care professional or program to offer expert guidance as you walk the road to recovery.

Customer Reviews

Thank you Brigitte
Addiction-Free Naturally has been an incredible resource. I have suffered from addiction for many years, and I find Mar's book an incredible resource. She encourages a program of recovery, including support networks, nutritional info, aromatherapy, acupuncture and pressure and herbal therapy as well. I had the delightful opportunity to meet Brigette when I lived in Boulder. I see that she had continued her studies and practice of her healing arts. I look forward to more books by Mars.

Very Informative!
The writer of this book is very informative, well researched and scientific in her view points. Not only does she provide natural remedies, she also includes biological and physiological reasons as to why they make great aids to treatment. Thorough and well written! A good read.

they need to read it
..just wish he would read it now! It does no good for me to read it and badger him about all i discovered that could help him fight his addiction. He needs to realize he has a problem first and WANT to change!!
