Reviews

Miller, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, Addiction - Society for the Study of Addiction, April issue 2005) "An invaluable tool for medical researchers, clinicians and doctors as well as healthcare providers and insurers, allowing them to save major resources by identifying ineffective treatments and being aware of cost-effective alternatives." (AFS - Advances in Food Sciences, 3/2004)
