What if there were a pill that could cure alcoholism?
Wouldn't you want to know about it?
Why are alcoholics still being denied the choice of a simple,
effective method and drug that were FDA approved in 1994?
The Sinclair Method (TSM) uses the nervous system’s own
mechanism, called “extinction”, for gradually removing the
interest in alcohol and the behaviors involved in alcohol drinking.
The technical term for TSM is “pharmacological extinction.”
The Sinclair Method was confirmed, first in a large body of
laboratory studies, then in over 90 clinical trials around the world,
and most recently in personal reports by people using it.
TSM has been found to be successful in about 80% of alcoholics.
This is very high for alcoholism treatment, but the treatment is not for everyone:
some people apparently have a different form of alcoholism that does not involve
the opioid system and cannot be treated effectively with opioid antagonists.
Claudia Christian, narrator of One Little Pill, also started the C 3 Foundation
in order to help save the lives of alcoholics worldwide.
The foundation's aim is to educate doctors, alcoholics, family and friends of
alcohol-dependent people about the most successful long term treatment:
The Sinclair Method.
The C Three Foundation seeks to elevate the public discourse surrounding
responsible alcohol use and effective, lasting treatment for misuse and addiction.
The foundation is determined to identify and seek to change policies,
practices, laws and social norms in popular culture that prevent
successful alcohol addiction recovery.
Claudia informally describes the nature of her memoir, Babylon Confidential,
especially her discovery of TSM after trying nearly everything she could find.
Babylon Confidential is available for sale on Amazon.
I would love to hear from anyone who has tried the Sinclair Method.
I'd love to hear your story, whether or not TSM was successful for you.
Would you like to ask your physician for Naltrexone?
If you want to ask for a prescription of Naltrexone, the Alcoholism Guide
provides a letter in pdf form, available here, that you can download, print,
and give to your physician.
Good luck, and I wish you success in whichever treatment method you choose.
It's extremely important that alcoholics be given the opportunity to choose.
Choice of treatment should not be limited to "Which AA meeting should I attend?"
TSM might actually be effective for most alcoholics.
Please, let your voice be heard.
Help break AA's stranglehold on the business of recovery!
