Beyond the Influence: Understanding and Defeating Alcoholism

This invaluable work will contribute much to the battle against our number one disease."
--from the Foreword by George McGovern, former senator and author of Terry: My Daughter's Life-and-Death Struggle with Alcoholism

Alcoholism is a disease. It's time we started treating it like one.

Science has offered undisputed proof that alcoholism is a disease rather than a weakness of character, yet millions of alcoholics continue to suffer due to inappropriate treatment.  Now the co-author of the modern classic Under the Influence has teamed up with prominent alcoholism experts to provide new answers to this national epidemic.

Based on the latest scientific research, Beyond the Influence clearly explains the neurological nature of the disease and reveals why some people drink addictively and others do not.  It also spells out what needs to be done to treat alcoholism, including:
Steps to take for an intervention
How to find the right treatment program
Which psychological approaches work best
Why spirituality is essential to recovery
New insights into relapse prevention
What you should know about diet, exercise, and nontraditional treatments such as acupuncture
Provocative and eye-opening, compelling and compassionate, Beyond the Influence is not only a message of hope for alcoholics--it is a blueprint for saving lives.



BEYOND THE INFLUENCE explains that alcoholism is a disease of the body, not a weakness of character. Drawing on the latest scientific studies, the authors present new research on the central role of genetics and neurotransmitters in addiction. Continuing where the prior book left off, it also includes:

Steps for diagnosis and intervention, plus ways to prevent relapses
Various treatment models, including inpatient and out-patient programs and a review of new drug treatments
The most effective types of psychological counseling
The critical role of nutrition
Non-traditional healing methods for recovery
The importance of a spiritual component to recovery

The authors also critique our nation's alcoholism policies, including education and prevention programs,

The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure

The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure contains the powerful three-step program to total recovery that is the basis of the miraculous success of the Passages Addiction Cure Center in Malibu, California. You’ll learn the three steps to permanent sobriety; the four causes of dependency; how your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are key factors in your recovery; and how to create your own personalized treatment program with the help of health professionals where you live—one that gets to the real, underlying causes of dependency. "Freedom from dependency starts with understanding that alcohol, drugs, and addictive behaviors are not the real problems," say Pax and Chris Prentiss, cofounders of Passages. "Alcohol, street drugs, nicotine, prescription medications, food bingeing, gambling, and the like are merely the substances or behaviors you or your loved ones are using to cope with the real problems—anything from deep emotional pain, ill health, or depression to hypoglycemia, a sluggish thyroid, or brain-wave pattern imbalances. Once the underlying problems are discovered and cured, the need for drugs, alcohol, or addictive behavior will disappear—along with the craving." Chris Prentiss should know. His son Pax was addicted to heroin, cocaine, and alcohol for ten years. They sought help everywhere, but Pax relapsed again and again. In desperation, they finally created their own holistic, hand-tailored program that was a complete break from all other programs and that combined several effective therapies. It saved Pax's life. Together, father and son founded Passages to help others find their own freedom. For decades, we've been hearing that alcoholism and addiction are incurable diseases, but The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure proves that this is a dangerous myth and that the label of "alcoholic" or "addict" destroys the promise of full recovery. Visionaries and innovators, Pax and Chris Prentiss bring new hope to people everywhere who are dependent

1946 - 1979 Alcohol & Alcoholism Films DVD: Treatment & Effects of Alcohol Abuse & Drug Addiction

Alcohol abuse, addiction, alcoholism, drinking and driving - none of these social problems are new, as shown in this rare films collection from 1949 - 1979. The effects of drugs and alcohol on society and families are far reaching, and resonate deeper than just biological consequences. Armed with facts about alcohol abuse and addiction, effective treatment and rehab are within the grasp of anyone suffering from the disease of alcoholism. These terrific films have been used for decades to demonstrate the negative effects of alcohol, and since the basic facts about alcoholism never change, the movies have a vintage timelessness to them. Teenage alcoholism, alcohol poisoning and drinking and driving are a few of the major social subjects covered in this comprehensive collection. In post WWII America, middle class teenagers began to have increased access to automobiles and many even received their own car. Thus, teenage alcoholism became an even more prevalent issue and a wave of alcohol awareness films was produced. We have collected the best rare classics from these films and compiled them onto one DVD with a balanced mix of social guidance films and very good old scientific films that accurately describe the effects of alcohol on the body and brain. (1) Alcohol Trigger Films for Junior High: The Party & The Mother (1979) (2) Alcohol and the Human Body (1949) (3) Measure of a Man (1962) (4) None for the Road: Teenage Drinking and Driving (1957) (5) What About Drinking? (1954) (6) Where Does It Get You? (1946) (7) Few Too Many (1960s)

The Cure for Alcoholism: Drink Your Way Sober Without Willpower, Abstinence or Discomfort

The Cure for Alcoholism delivers exactly what millions of alcoholics and families of alcoholics have been hoping for: a painless, dignified and medically proven cure for their addiction. Backed by more than 70 clinical trials and research that extends back to 1964, the Sinclair Method deploys an opiate-blocking medication in a very specific way—in combination with ongoing drinking—to extinguish the addictive “software” in the brain. The de-addiction process literally rolls back the addictive mechanism in the brain to its original pre-addicted state—before the first drink was consumed—making this program an actual cure for alcoholism.

Drs. Roy Eskapa and David Sinclair (of The Sinclair Method ) have put together a sound scientific book, backed by years of research and official studies which prove that with this particular method alcoholism can be cured in more than 75% of patients. What’s more, the treatment avoids dangerous withdrawal symptoms, allowing patients to detox gradually and safely while they are still drinking. This removes the need for expensive and unpleasant inpatient rehabilitation programs. Actual drinking levels and the cravings themselves automatically decrease until control over alcohol is restored. The bottom line is that patients drink themselves sober according to a simple yet powerful process outlined in The Cure for Alcoholism.
