Reviews

"How exciting to find an herb book that can really make a difference in someone's life."
*American Herb Association, Vol. 16:4*

". . . this book offers a variety of safe, natural and effective techniques for beating addiction."
*Earth Star, December/January 2002*

"This book is especially useful for gaining a better understanding of your addiction, or addictions in general, and for providing ideas for healing your addiction, using over 20 modalities. I would recommend this book as an initial step in making the commitment to seek help regarding your addiction."
*The Library Letter, Spring 2002*

"Mars offers gentle, non-invasive methods of breaking free from addictions, including ways of cleansing the body of accumulated toxins."
*Diane Wilde, SHE magazine, 06/03*

"Addiction Free--Naturally shows you a supportive way to ease away from your addictions naturally while still working through whatever program you’re on. By following simple instructions you can help nourish brain chemistry (which is responsible for many of our emotions), stabilize blood sugar, and correct long-neglected nutritional deficiencies, all of which are important predictors of sustaining recovery."
