Hi all,
I have received further correspondence from Dr Ameisen. Below is the excerpt I have been asked to post:
"Here is, word for word, what Dr. Ameisen has asked me to post :
"Dr Ameisen wishes to urgently inform any alcoholic patient who is currently taking topirarmate (Topamax) to rapidly inform his/her prescribing doctor that this medication can lead to a catastrophic side effect: sudden and permanent blindness. This has been widely covered by prestigious eye-doctors in the most prominent medical journals such as JAMA : It is imperative that patients bring this paper to their prescribing doctors and continue taking topiramate only if their doctor confirms that they should. They should rigoursly follow their doctor's recommendations.
"Topiramate as Treatment for Alcohol Dependence, January 30, 2008, Spaeth and Mantravadi 299 (4): 405 ?€” JAMA"
Blindness is a very high price to pay for a medication that, contrary to baclofen, has never been shown to be efficient for one single patient for suppression of alcoholism in the medical literature.
Ameisen also states that, to the best of his knowledege, and unless proven otherwise, TSM and naltrexone are treatments that, contrary to high-dose baclofen, have NEVER been shown to suppress alcoholism in any single patient in the medical literature. With all due respect for TSM, could any body explain why the authors of the method have not published ONE single success in ANY medical journals ?
The same applies to acamprosate (Campral). Contrary to my treatment method with baclofen, not one single case of suppression of alcohol dependence has never been describe using this medication.
My discovery that high-dose baclofen completely suppresses alcoholism, and without effort, was first published, in 2004. My papers have been published in the most prestigious peer-reviewed peer journal. My treatment-method has been immediatelly recognized, by the medical elite : a Nobel prize for medicine, the finest figures in academia and their number is growing very rapidly. Yet is is only since I publihed my own experience in my book "The end of my addiction/Heal Thyself", that hundreds of patients have been rendered "entirely disease-free".
Best regards,
Dr. Ameisen"
