Product Description
It was simply fascinating for me to research several leading doctors, nutritionists and other leading experts in their fields to find that many had cured themselves or family members of major illnesses. This was a huge challenge to locate the right material to research with no medical background. Further I could have misfired and used the wrong approach that would have not worked and made me worse instead of better.
I did all of this research and rehab while suffering from a major illness, multiple sclerosis, more commonly referred to as MS. My stage of MS at the time I began rehab efforts was so severe that I was on medication where I had to give myself a shot once per week. I struggled severely to walk daily to the point I was ready to order a scooter to begin getting around, not for convenience. Walking to the mailbox or to put out the garbage required planning and being careful to avoid falling. I had several falls prior to rehab but these falls began to diminish with rehab.
This book tells you I rehabbed myself using a totally natural approach and survived total disability. Today I continue with many of the same things daily to maintain myself that I used in rehab.

Product Description
“Deeply felt, deftly rendered, stunningly informative and often enraging” (Publishers Weekly), Hooked appears as we are finally waking up to the inadequacies of our current drug-rehab policies. With court-mandated rehab being debated across the country, Shavelson’s in-depth look at the struggles of five addicts as they travel through the treatment maze makes a powerful case for reform.
Highly readable and shaped by Shavelson’s experience as a journalist and physician, Hooked takes us through the anguishing “intake” and controversial House meetings, inside counselors’ and judges’ offices where many treatment decisions are made, and to prison cells where, under current policies, many addicts end up. It explores the links between drug addiction, mental illness, and trauma, including child abuse—links often ignored by current rehab efforts—and argues for an integrated approach that treats the roots of drug abuse, not just the behavior itself.
Hailed as “compelling” and “heartbreaking” (Time Out), Hooked offers a provocative, honest look at the seemingly intractable issue of drug addiction, and offers powerful alternatives to our current policies.
