Dr. Gabor Mate's work brings us to an understanding of the cause of addiction, substance abuse, and behavior disorder. It is only when we have knowledge of causation that we are able to treat anything more than a symptom. In this way, Dr. Mate's discoveries are life changing for those trapped, seemingly without hope, in the vicious cycle of recovery and relapse. Dr. Mate has opened the door to healing that literally crushes this  cycle and makes it possible to experience radical freedom! Thank you doctor for your profound contribution to the race.
