Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure [Paperback]

Genita Petralli (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 7, 2007

Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure is not only the most comprehensive book providing the techniques used to heal addictive biochemistry through addressing the root alcoholism cause with an aggressive alcoholism treatment, and the research and science which validates the supremacy of orthomolecular alcoholism treatment over all others, but is the most advanced holistic treatment you can find in a book, retreat, or rehab. Successful completion of The 101 Program not only detoxes you in a healing, nourishing way by correcting nutritional deficiencies known to those suffering the physical and mental effects of alcohol addiction but takes your quest for sobriety to the next level and guides you through the process of healing your addictive biochemistry, freeing you from the symptoms of alcoholism and the compulsive desire to drink through addressing the well- researched genetic influences that encourage addictive biochemistry.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"After 30 years as a health science lecturer and having worked individually with many alcoholics, there is no doubt in my mind that nutrition is the best tool there is to fight drinking. With its emphasis on body-strengthening nutritional physiology, rather than medication or feel-good talk psychology, Alcoholism Book: The Cause and the Cure presents a way out for people who have fallen through the cracks in our society's inadequate, obsolete and pharmaphilic (drug based) approach to alcoholism treatment." -- Dr. Andrew W. Saul, author of Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing that Works, and Contributing Editor for the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine

"I feel this could be very valuable presented to the cancer community as well for recovery from the toxic chemicals" -- TS – Washington

"I have been dry now for 2 weeks and have not felt the same pain as in previous occasions!! Thanks!" -- AP – United Kingdom

"I'm 3 days into this now & she's absolutely right. I feel great, both mentally & physically..." -- LM – New Hampshire

"Now I understand what's happening to me & why, how to change/stop it and what to expect along the way." -- EM – New York

A landmark program without the stigma of counseling or meetings. Highly recommended." -- Dennis, Texas

Genita Petralli's work, Alcoholism: The Cause and the Cure, offers sound scientific information derived from the latest research in addiction-based biochemistry. Her information is made simple and clear enough for anyone to understand. By knowing the how's and the why's in breaking addictive habits related to alcoholism, "the alternative solution" becomes practical enough for the sincere person to begin to make permanent and measurable changes in their life. Her contribution to recovery is fundamental in providing an important approach to naturally influencing both the mind and the body. -- Dr. Joe Dispenza

I am just 3 weeks into the program and I have absolutely NO cravings or interest in ALCOHOL or CAFFIENE. -- Jason, Philadelphia

It's amazing to me that a product actually does what it says it will do for you. -- James, Missouri

From the Publisher

Forword to Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure is written by the infamous Dr. Abram Hoffer M.D., Ph.D. who worked with Bill Wilson (co-found of AA) in the orthomolecular treatment of alcoholism using Niacin (B3). Both of whom are inducted into the 2006 Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame. After personally witnessing the tremendous success of this method of treating his and fellow AA members' symptoms, Bill launched several large scale attempts at trying to get orthomolecular treatments into the AA experience. Bill's passion toward the end of his life was to bring this reality of healing to the AA experience; however, he was of course shunted and scorned by the very medical professionals he appointed in AA! Despite the clinical proof provided by Dr. Hoffer and Bill W. of various vitamin therapies helping alcoholics remain sober and enjoy a sobriety not encumbered by many of the dry drunk symptoms of anxiety, depression, mental/physical fatigue, social anxieties etc... the physicians of AA without regard to this info, publicly discredited Bill and refused to acknowledge Dr. Hoffer's findings.

They are both in the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame. Interesting that Bill W. is and AA STILL does not recognize nor promote/practice the value of their founder's work and passion in this area!

This review is from: Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure (Paperback)

This book is one of the best I have read for really getting to the bottom of addiction especially alcohol. The book is not an easy read and contains alot of information but if you think about the millions of lives lost from and the amount of money spent on the problems associated with alcoholism you appreciate why the author takes the time to educate those of us who are looking to live fulfilled lives that we were meant to live and that deep down we want to.

It is a book that provides information to assist the whole person, spiritually, mentally and physically to become in tune with the healer within so that they can get better. A concept I know most of us who are used to conventional medicine and healthcare believe to be a myth because we are used to being dissapointed and settling for just getting by. I recommend this book and the program highly to anyone who is seriously interested in getting better. It took me almost a year to follow through and I can honestly say it has saved my life.

This review is from: Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure (Paperback)

Wow. Very, very detailed. All the biological proccesses that contribute to alcoholism are explained here. There is not a stone left unturned in this book. It is a total program, complete with a support team ready to help you and advise you over the phone/ correspondance, whatever. No one should ever have to be sober and miserable again.
