In recent decades, many of persons studying alcoholism have come to see it as a disease, rather than as a character flaw or a failure of will. And yet, alcoholism is most regularly treated through counseling. Joan Mathews Larson and her colleagues at the Health Recovery Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, learned a series of nutritional deficiencies in alcoholics, and establish that with proper dietary adjustments, they could help nearly three-quarters of their patients kick the bottle for excellent. Seven Weeks to Sobriety is the updated version of the less fascinatingly titled Alcoholism–The Biochemical Tie, which was published in 1992.

Please save your money! Of course, if one wants to stop craving alcohol (metabolized as sugar) one needs to go on a high protien, low carbohydrate diet. A diet like Sugar Busters is what is proposed. And of course, everyone can benefit from vitamins – so buy some and take them! The thing I establish offensive about this book was that the leader thinks that everyone who has a drinking problem is “alcoholic” (an archaic term!) and that he or she can be defined as one of three or four different “kinds” of alcoholic. What a bunch of bunk! As a replacement for of this book buy: Sober for Excellent and Sugar Busters.

This is a potentially treacherous message to deliver to any serious alcoholic: Follow the nutritional method in this book and you will achieve a lasting sobriety. As with most treacherous methods, there are slivers of truth attached: chronic alcoholics frequently suffer from mal- or under-nutrition. But make no mistake about it: while this book may get you sober, you cannot stay sober following its message.
To start, the leader promotes a pseudo-scientific theory of various types of alcoholism, and a method of nutritional recovery for each. The alcoholic must work with a nutritionist to provide copious vitamin, mineral, and amino-acid supplements, that must be taken in a prescribed sequence and dosage. I want to meet the alcoholic who could follow this self-analysis and program. If it were not so treacherous, it would be risible.
But to the point: every serious alcoholic has, underlying his drinking, a disease called alcoholism: an obsession to drink caused by living for, by, and through SELF. There are countless alcoholics who are factually dying to quit, but they cannot, OF THEMSELVES, overcome the obsession: it is inscribed on their very beings, their selves, their minds, their wills. Some will follow this course and make it… for a time. It’s called mind over matter. Note the many positive reviews here. But the sobriety will not last. It cannot last, because it does not treat the disease of alcoholism, a mental illness with no known cure. This method will only make the alcoholic feel better for a time (as anything might). I want to know at what point in their ‘cure’ the enthusiasts posted their reviews. I’m guessing right around the seven week mark. And a year later? Two years later? Five years later? Real sobriety lasts a lifetime and requires maintenance to do so.
It is amusing that the leader passes grudging praise upon persons who have followed the only known method of recovery: Alcoholics Anonymous, which has hundreds of thousands of groups around the globe. She states that, while AA may work for some, alcoholics must continue to go to meetings and work their program if they want to stay sober. Hah! Her endorsement is akin to remarking at a 50th wedding anniversary celebration that while the couple have had a successful marriage, they needed to work on it every day.
Of course, her implied message is if you were to follow HER method for seven weeks, you would achieve a lasting sobriety, the same way, I suppose, you graduate from a correspondence course. Go yet to be, give it a try. After it doesn’t work, there will be a seat waiting for you at your local AA meeting.
Every meaningful thing in life requires maintenance. Every skill, every relationship, every attitude. Anyone who seriously wants to get sober and stay sober will go to Alcoholics Anonymous. If medical-nutritional approaches had worked, then why have doctors been adage for hundreds of years, that they have no solution for alcoholism? Why does every rehab program prepare its participants for a 12-step program after rehab?
It’s a spiritual disease; it requires a spiritual solution. This is, emphatically, not what you’re looking for.

There are no quick fixes for alcoholism…this book just proves that fact one more time. The leader’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 plot!

This book is NO substitute for both the A.A. fellowship or the “huge book”. There is a booklet place out by A.A. which lists 40 questions for a person to answer either Yes or No. If the reader answers a agreed amount as Yes then in all likelihood, he or she is an alcoholic. My wife had me buy this book for my son to read as he received a second DUI within five years. I too am an alcoholic. I have been sober for 17 years. In uncomplaining and out uncomplaining programms did not work for me. I have met and learned from hundreds of alcoholics who maintain consistent sobriety, all attend at least three meetings a week. I attend five a week here in south florida. Over the years I have seen and read a number of books such as this. All have a common theme, and that is, sobriety can be achieved using “their” method. Twelve step programs [practiced by the individual], a sponsor, and regular attendance at meetings such as AA or NA have no equal. This is the only program which deals with problem drinkers, alcoholics, at a spiritual level. They erect character and make better citizens, husbands, wifes, fathers, mothers, etc. I am sorry but there are no “quick fixes”. Page 112 or 128 of the Huge Book, first three words are: Read this book. Brilliant advice for the alcoholic. Buy this book [Alcoholics Anonymous].
