Congratulations go out to Roy David Eskapa on the sale of his book The Cure for Alcoholism. The book presents a radical new approach to treating alcoholism wherein patients literally drink themselves sober. The method described in the book was developed by the highly renowned alcoholism researcher Dr. David Sinclair and is supported by more than 60 clinical studies around the world. That includes the largest ever human trial in alcoholism, the landmark Project Combine study, which was initiated in 2001 and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in May, 2006.

However, the method is not well known in the US even among experts and despite evidence that shows this method achieves success rates up to 80%, whereas traditional methods typically achieve a 15% success rate, it was a challenge to find a publisher with the vision to pick up the book. That’s understandable, as the idea that abstinence is the only acceptable method of treatment for alcoholism has roots that run deep in our society.

We’re very pleased that Glenn Yeffeth, the Publisher of BenBella Books, believed in the book and was excited about taking it on. If you haven’t heard of BenBella yet, they’re the publishers of the bestselling The China Study, another unconventional health title that has received widespread acclaim. Here’s hoping BenBella has a similar success with The Cure for Alcoholism and that the book provides a solution to some of the 18 million+ people in the US alone who struggle with alsoholism.
