Alcoholism Treatment
cure the bio-chemical root cause of alcohol addiction

By Genita Petralli with contributions by Dr. Katherine Nelson N.D.

Contained is the proven orthomolecular alcoholism treatment program that cures alcoholism by healing the physical and mental bio-pathways damaged by alcohol abuse thus relieving the effects of alcoholism symptoms created by long-term drinking and truly breaking the addiction!

This is a TREATMENT that heals you and cures the addiction!

"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: 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." Dr. Andrew W. Saul (http://www.doctoryourself.com), author of Doctor Yourself: Natural Healing that Works, and Contributing Editor for the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine.

Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure is a holistic rehab's "operations" manual exposing the most advanced orthomolecular method known for detoxing and healing addictive biochemistry: The 101 Program - the proven orthomolecular treatment that cures alcoholism and addictive biochemistry. It demonstrates the biochemical differences of those with addictive biochemistry and explicitly guides you in addressing those differences as the means to curing the addiction.

Alcoholism: The Cause & The Cure is not only the most comprehensive book providing the techniques used to heal addictive biochemistry through addressing the root cause of alcoholism, and the research and science which validates the supremacy of orthomolecular alcoholism treatment over all others, but is the most effective 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 including depression, mental/physical fatigue, anxiety, nervousness, paranoia, and emotional instability 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. Everyone has specific health care needs as a result of lifestyle, genes, and lifelong dietary practices. Those whom have demonstrated addictive biochemistry have very specific nutritional and dietary requirements to prevent and heal addictive biochemistry and you will be provided an unprecedented education in the nutritional protocol that you are required to practice to relieve yourself of the bonds of addiction so that you may not only enjoy sobriety but also enhanced health - giving sobriety a whole new meaning.

The root cause of alcoholism can now be identified, measured and healed with TNT (targeted nutritional therapy) and neurotransmitter replenishment. Click for more...
