From Amazon.com
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.

The AMA defines alcoholism as a physical disease. This program treats it that way, working on the body's addictive chemistry and replacing key natural chemicals without drugs to eliminate depression, anxiety, unstable emotions, and other alcohol-induced symptoms. Illustrations; charts; self-tests.
