Critical Praise

"This book is the riveting story of a sensitive and talented doctor whose life lapses into alcoholism. It is also the story of the dazzling discovery of a cure that could soon be within reach of all. If you or someone close to you suffers from alcoholism or drug dependence, you must read this book."

— David Servan-Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., author of The Instinct to Heal and Anticancer

"This is a wonderful book. Ameisen may be responsible for making a signal discovery- --- much like, but better than, that of George Cotzias [the first to show that L-dopa could alleviate Parkinson’s disease] in that so many more patients may be involved."

— Jerome Posner, M.D., George C. Cotzias Chair of Neuro-oncology, Department of Neurology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center

"Ameisen has discovered the treatment of addiction."

— Jean Dausset, M.D., winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize in Medicine

"Brave, insightful and sure to be significant."
