A veteran research scientist who has spent decades establishing biochemical treatment protocols for patients with ADHD, Alzheimer's disease and various mental disorders challenges popular opinions about psychiatric drugs to make recommendations for drug-free nutrient therapies that normalize the brain without producing serious side effects. 15,000 first printing.
Nutritional medicine researcher Walsh has developed biochemical treatments for patients with various mental illnesses for 40-plus years. He has written 200-plus scientific articles and presented his research at the American Psychiatric Assn., the US Senate, and the National Institutes of Mental Health. In this text, Walsh explains his approach, which is based on current scientific theory of mental disorders resulting from nutrient imbalances due to genetic and environmental factors. Opening chapters discuss brain chemistry; subsequent chapters describe biochemical therapies using chemicals natural to the body to treat disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, autism, behavioral disorders and ADHD, and Alzheimer's disease. The text may be accessible to general readers--and offer a hopeful alternative to psychiatric drugs; however, the nutrient therapies described require supervision by an experienced medical professional.

A must-read for individuals, families, and medical practitioners that opens a new door in psychiatric healthcare.
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.
