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.
Product Description:
"Comprehensive, rational and personal. It suppplies much of what is missing in traditional approaches to alcoholic rehabilitation. I believe that this book can save lives."
Leo Galland, M.D.
Open this book and you will embark on a groundbreaking seven-week journey that will change your life. You will learn how to break your addiction to alcohol and end your cravings--and do it under your own power. Here, step-by-step, is a proven, seven-week program developed by Dr. Joan Matthews Larson at the innovative Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis, that subdues your body's addictive chemistry and puts you on the path to full recovery.

This is a potentially dangerous message to deliver to any serious alcoholic: Follow the nutritional method in this book and you will achieve a lasting sobriety. As with most dangerous methods, there are slivers of truth attached: chronic alcoholics frequently suffer from mal- or under-nutrition. But make no mistake about it: while this book may get you sober, you cannot stay sober following its message.
To begin, the author promotes a pseudo-scientific theory of various types of alcoholism, ... Read More

This book is NO substitute for both the A.A. fellowship or the "big book". There is a booklet put out by A.A. which lists 40 questions for a person to answer either Yes or No. If the reader answers a given amount as Yes then in all likelihood, he or she is an alcoholic. My wife had me purchase this book for my son to read as he received a second DUI within five years. I too am an alcoholic. I have been sober for 17 years. In patient and out patient programms did not work for me. I have met and learned ... Read More

In February 2009, I received results from my liver enzyme test, showing a concerning elevation and which my doctors suggested was pushing cirrhosis. I never drank heavy and mostly wine, but I did have occasional binges and I drank frequently. Added to this, because of the enzyme elevation, my doctors cold-turkied me off a benzo they had prescribed for over a decade for sleep problems, so I was a total & complete wreck by the time I came across this book. Since I couldn't drink or take a sleep aide, my sleep was ... Read More

This is my second time reading this book. I was to impatient to read it through the first time. The author says do not jump ahead. I will do as she says now. I attend AA meetings. They give me the oppertunity to talk, but they have no nutrition to offer. In fact they say eat more suger as that is what you crave. Really.They drink alot of coffee I believe that both cause craving for alcohol. There needs to be a revival in AA, as today we know so much more about nutrition, brain chimistry, physical dependancy. There ... Read More

The concept behind this method of achieving and maintainig sobriety makes more sense than any other I have encountered. Although most methods can be the right one for many addicts this one has a much better potential to help many more than the others. Tried the rest? Now try the best.
