The little pill that could cure alcoholism
When an alcoholic doctor began experimenting with Baclofen, he made what could be the medical breakthrough of the century

Olivier Ameisen,
md, has proposed and tested an entirely new model for the treatment of addiction — not reduction of craving, but complete, rapid, effortless suppression of craving and other symptoms and consequences of addiction using high-dose baclofen therapy. He has published several articles on the subject in peer-reviewed medical journals.
Born and raised in Paris, in 1983 Olivier moved to New York to join the prestigious cardiology team at New York Hospital and Cornell University Medical College (now New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Weill Cornell Medical College), where he became respectively an associate attending physician and associate professor of clinical medicine (subsequently clinical associate professor of medicine), in addition to later establishing a busy private practice. As an active participant in cardiology research at New York Hospital/Cornell, he co-authored 16 papers in peer-reviewed medical journals on the evaluation of coronary artery disease and related topics.Dr Olivier Ameisen's the first official physician to the prime minister of France.
