Mmmm, no. Penn & Teller are not a particularly credible source for that.

The are no clinical trials thoughAA claims 56 percent, while those looking a AA number get 35% at best. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effectivene..._Anonymous http://www.cbtrecovery.org/AAefficacyrates.htm

5-10% is the estimate of outsiders crunching the numbers:

There may be no accurate number: http://www.thefix.com/content/the-real-statistics-of-aa7301
