The Vitamin Cure for Alcoholism: Orthomolecular Treatment of Addictions: Easyread Comfort Edition - Softcover
This book can be a godsend for many persons--for those who suffer from alcohol addiction, for their friends and loved ones, and for those in the relevant helping professions. Its central message is that alcoholism is primarily a metabolic disease that should be treated with due consideration of its physiological roots. The old moralistic approach and the more recent behavioral and psychological treatment approaches have a dismal record of failure, largely because they pay little or no attention to the crucial physiological and nutritional needs of alcoholics.

Review:
"If you or a relative are troubled with alcoholism, The Vitamin Cure for Alcoholism is a great read." (Ronald Hoffman, M.D.)
"Having the foremost advocates of megavitamin therapy, or orthomolecular medicine, tell us how they define and treat alcoholism and other addictions, is quite exciting. Both authors have that great ability to boil down highly technical material into clearly understandable language."
(Ralph Campbell, M.D.)
