Summary: Very Helpful Information
Review: I am the webowner of Mental Health Today. I have always been an advocate of nutrition and I was greatly impressed with Dr. Gant's book. I feel that he provides us with some excellent and very helpful information.The biggest issue I can think of is for those people who have "more expensive" habits such as non-prescription opiates, methamphetamines, etc. Nutritional supplements are quite expensive unfortunately and many of us who don't have drug habits are unable to afford sizeable amounts of these supplements.

Summary: Solid Examination of Nutrition, Brain Chemistry, & Addiction
Review: This book clearly documents how nutritional imbalances contribute to addictive substance use, and how nutritional treatment can help safely and effectively resolve problems with addictions. The author also points out how prescribed psychoactive medications are also addictive substances that aggravate underlying nutritional deficiencies. This book is a great contribution to the field of orthomolecular medicine and natural substance abuse treatment. Unfortunately, health care insurance, which insures income for doctors and pharmaceutical business interests rather than your health, does not cover nutritional healing interventions. Those seeking true health must make a personal commitment of resources and willingness to make lifestyle changes rather than expecting a pill or a professional to magically take their problems away.

Summary: Now you can really understand substance abuse
Review: 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!
