«The good news comes from Italy. And precisely from Padua, where a group [of researchers headed by Novella Fronda Foundation] is experimenting with a brain stimulation technique that seems to give promising results. Whoever undergoes it not only gets rid of addiction, but above all does not fall back into it. And this opens up hope for millions of people whose lives are at risk.» – National Geographic, September 2017.
Is it possible to cure cocaine addiction? Until recently, none of the trodden paths – often long, arduous, painful, and prone to easy relapses – had proved effective. This book tells a different story. The discovery of a cutting-edge treatment developed after years of research by the psychiatrist Luigi Gallimberti and his team has revolutionized the treatment of cocaine addiction. Without pain, without side effects or health risks, as evidenced by the recent CE mark given to the used equipment. With the use of personal accounts and engaging case studies, the book tells how this extraordinary scientific discovery came about. A book full of hope and light, the light that reappears in the eyes of the patients. The light that the addiction had threatened to extinguish.
