5.0 out of 5 stars Now you can really understand substance abuse, February 19, 2002

By A Customer

This book describes, in lay terms, a growing sub-specialty within addictions treatment that is based on nutritional medicine. It's a treatment protocol that is becoming more popular -- because people are realizing how effective it can be. Plus it's based solidly on science: published medical research documenting the interrelationship between brain chemistry, nutrition and substance use.

Read this book to learn why you crave nicotine, alcohol or drugs (it's because of how they affect your brain chemistry). The book also provides questionnaires to help you figure out what nutrients you can use to get yourself back into balance. Many people Dr. Gant have treated (he's been doing this for 15 years) have "quit" without even trying -- I mean, imagine being able to stop smoking, as one example, without any withdrawal symptoms at all!

I've known Dr. Gant personally for years, and as many others who know him would agree, his work could help so many people! If you have a cigarette, booze or drug habit, or love someone who uses drugs, please try this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gant Vindicated, October 27, 2005

By	Maureen Meccio (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

RE: CHARLES GANT, MD

The website of the NYS Office of Professional Medical Conduct begins its report of the Charles Gant case by listing a series of charges brought against him in highly inflammatory and misleading language. Only if you really like reading long text on computer screens would you ever get to the part where it is revealed that the charges relating to the quality of his medical care have been overturned by a OPMC hearing panel. In fact, the hearing panel upheld Dr. Gant's methodology, which relies heavily on using nutritional supplements to treat many conditions by rebalancing biochemistry, most notably, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) in children. Further, they found that, contrary to the charges, Dr. Gant had done no harm to any of his patients:

"The committee unanimously agreed that the Respondent's license should not be revoked. The record in this case established Respondent was not incompetent nor did his conduct amount to gross negligence. Nor did they find that his diagnostic or testing practices were an attempt to reap excessive financial gain. He was well versed in his type of practice and was not trying to take advantage of his patients. In mitigation of the findings of fraud, the committee notes that the use of erroneous codes was not done for the Respondent's financial benefit since his practice was one of fee for service."

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed My Life!!, July 2, 2006

By	G. M. Simmons (Southeast) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: End Your Addiction Now: The Proven Nutritional Supplement Program That Can Set You Free (Paperback)

I highly recommend this book to everyone, not just those with substance problems. The typical American diet is so devoid of many of the nutrients that this program recommends, all can benefit, regardless of personal situation.
Thanks to following the program for my specific issues, I am now completely off of precription anxiety medicine, not drinking and losing weight. I sleep better, think clearer, have more energy and enjoy life at a level far better than I could ever have imagined.
My skin is clearer, nails stronger, and hair glossier. Everyone knows that these are sure signs of a healthy being.
The improvement to my life is truly amazing.
The information contained in this book is invaluable!!
