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.

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!

Excerpts from the Forword by Dr. Abram Hoffer M.D., Ph.D.
...In this book, Ms. Petralli describes in careful detail how these essential nutrients play a role in the cause and the treatment of alcohol addiction. Further, Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure enlightens the reader by clearly demonstrating that alcohol addiction is truly, at its core, a Nutrient Deficiency Disorder, and provides a fascinating account of how to properly treat it. It provides the course of action that must be taken to cure an orchestra of the malaise created by one or more defective musicians. The results are immensely superior to those that depend upon psychosocial methods alone...
The education you will find in Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure, and hopefully, the successful treatment that you will embark upon, is that there are underlying nutritional deficiencies that create the symptoms that you use alcohol to relieve, which leads to alcohol dependency. Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure exposes these deficiencies while providing a proven dietary and nutritional supplement program that reduces or eliminates these symptoms. This method of approaching NDD, or alcohol dependency, diminishes the likelihood of relapse with the degree of health and balanced brain chemistry that is achieved with your treatment. When the symptoms are gone, so is the craving or need for alcohol.

From the Inside Flap
"After 20 years of drinking myself to sleep every night I approached this program with trepidation and skepticism. However, with Ms. Petralli's coaching adn a well developed preparation week, I successfully stopped drinkign and had remarkably little or no impulse to commence my old habit. A landmark program without the stigma of counseling or meetings. Highly recommended."
