Book description
"Psychiatry has made great advances in the past fifty years
but needs a new direction. Today's emphasis on psychiatric drugs will
not stand the test of time. Recent advances in epigenetics and the
molecular biology of the brain have provided a roadmap for the
development of effective, natural, drug-free therapies that do not
produce serious side effects. Psychiatric medications have served
society well over the last fifty years, but the need for drug
therapies will fade away as science advances. Nutrient Power presents
a science-based nutrient therapy system that can help millions of
people diagnosed with mental disorders. This approach recognizes that
nutrient imbalances can alter brain levels of key neurotransmitters,
disrupt gene expression of proteins and enzymes, and cripple the
body's protection against environmental toxins. The author's database
containing millions of chemical factors in blood, urine, and tissues
has identified brain-changing nutrient imbalances in patients
diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
autism, behavior disorders, depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's
disease. This book describes individualized nutrient therapy
treatments that have produced thousands of reports of recovery.
Walsh's approach is more scientific than the trial-and-error use of
psychiatric drugs and is aimed at a true normalization of the brain.
Depression, schizophrenia, and ADHD are umbrella terms that encompass
disorders with widely differing brain chemistries and symptoms.
Nutrient Power describes nutrient therapies tailored to specific
types. Other book highlights include the Walsh Theory of
Schizophrenia, a new way to look at autism, a promising new treatment
for Alzheimer's, and recommendations for reducing crime and violence."
