The Power Factor: The key to conquering addiction

Patterson of Tibet

This is the autobiography of George Patterson, the colourful Scot who has linked his life to that mysterious mountain kingdom. The Long Rider author was a Scottish medical missionary who went to Tibet shortly after the second World War. There he became Tibetan in all but name, adapting to the culture and learning the language fluently. When the Communist Chinese army advanced into Tibet, the country’s leaders knew a plea for help had to be taken to India. The only way to achieve this was by riding through the snow-locked Himalayas over a mountain pass even the locals were afraid to try. So Patterson undertook an emergency equestrian journey across the wildest parts of Tibet. “He was a superb horseman whose body was as efficient as the Tibetans,” reported London’s Times. Years later, with the Red Chinese still occupying Tibet, and with a bounty on his head for his role in rescuing the Dalai Lama, a band of determined Tibetan guerrillas invited Patterson to witness their attack on the invading Communist army. No other westerner could get into Tibet, except Patterson, so the outside world was still oblivious to the Chinese invasion and the atrocities being perpetrated on the Tibetans. So Patterson went back into his adopted country – illegally – and with a film crew! This intense autobiography goes on to reveal how Patterson crossed swords with India's Prime Minister Nehru, helped with the rescue of the Dalai Lama and befriended a host of unique world figures ranging from Yehudi Menhuin to Eric Clapton. This is a vividly-written account of a life of high adventure and spiritual odyssey.

The author of "ADDIXION" was already a world-famous international journalist who had written extensively on the criminal, political and social aspects of drug addictions, when his wife asked him to write a complementary book from his experiences to be used in conjunction with her unique four-to-ten days detoxification cure. She declared "NET is a 100 per cent cure for detoxification; but a 50 per cent cure for addictions". The condition of addiction is unique in that it is one of the few, if not the only, condition, in which two processes of healing are intimately intertwined. The author argues that the tragedy of the complex drug addiction problem is that it is now the victim of the "hot potato syndrome" where presidents, governments, armies, police, doctors, criminals, pharmaceutical corporations, and major banks, while aware of the major importance of the problem, are reluctant to tackle it because of the immensity of the social, financial, criminal and political implications, and each specialty involved passes on the problem to the other until the "hot potato cools" enough to ignore. It is the scale of demand of addictive substances from all sections of society in every nation which explains the reluctance of presidents and governments, the failures of doctors, the rivalries of law enforcement agencies, the cupidity of pharmaceutical companies and criminals - and the mind-staggering multi-billion pound profits. ADDIXION not only addresses this "insoluble" problem, it analyzes why all existing psychological and empirical attempts at rehabilitation are failures and how a combination of NET detoxification and rehabilitation outlined in the book can solve the "world's drug problem".
