Summary: "A desire to stop drinking"
Comment: If all it takes to quit drinking is a "desire" and "willingness" I would have remained sober years ago, saved thousands of dollars, wouldn't have put my loved ones through hell, and perhaps would be further down the road to being a "contributing member of society." Why shouldn't "working the program" include physical well being too? This book has opened my eyes and I'm going to give it a try. I've been sober for 39 days as of today, and I've had no cravings for alcohol...that is by the Grace of God. However past experience has taught me this isn't enough. I was tested for hypoglycemia when I was pregnant with my son 22 years ago. The tests came back positive, however I don't recall being told anything other than to eat three square meals a day. I also gained 70 pounds! I don't believe that diet alone will keep me sober, but if I can feel better physically when sober, my chances of remaining abstinent will make life far more enjoyable. I'd love to quit taking Prozac (with my Dr's assistance) and I'd love to sleep through the night and feel rested without the aid of a sleeping pill. I've needed help in both these areas even while experiencing eight years as a "recovering alcoholic." I'll be in recovery for the rest of my natural life...that's okay and if I feel better by adding suppliments I'm all for it! Of course I've "felt better" without the vodka, but the chance of feeling even better gives me more reason to stay sober, and hope for being sucessful in my recovery. I don't want to die drunk and anything that will enhance my sobriety is sure worth it's weight in gold! I'm not on a "pink cloud" I've been there, done it. To be honest I'm scared to death of this disease. It's the only disease that wants us dead, and at this point the disease has the upper hand. Thank you, Joan Larson!

Summary: No Miracles Here
Comment: There are no quick fixes for alcoholism...this book just proves that fact one more time. The author's recommendation for scads of medical tests to determine what "type" of addict one is, plus the cost of buying all the supplements involved in this "7 Week Cure" is probably beyond the ability of many people. Suffice it to say, I got hooked by the title, and I should have been more skeptical. Check out a self help group..they are proven effective and way cheaper than this plan!

Summary: Top of the Line Book in the Field of Addictionology
Comment: 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.

Summary: This program worked wonderfully for me...Recommended!!
Comment:
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
