Publisher's Synopsis
This guide shows how to change behavior and improve health through a nutrient therapy system that will last when psychiatric drugs are no longer used.
Over the past fifty years, psychiatry has made some significantly large strides, but it needs a new direction. The current emphasis on psychiatric drugs works for now, but it is a temporary solution. Studies involving nurses, nursing, interventions and clinical work have led to a new type of treatment.
Recent advances in the molecular biology of the brain and epigenetics have illuminated a new plan. The result? A treatment path for the creation of natural, drug-free, and effective therapies that do not produce severe side effects. Chapters include:
- Brain Chemistry 101
- Epigenetics and mental health
- Schizophrenia
- Depression
- Autism
- Behavioral disorders and ADHD
- Alzheimer's Disease
- And more!
The need-based treatments outlined in Dr. William J. Walsh's Nutrient Power show a research-based nutrient therapy system that can help people with a variety of mental disorders. The guide explains that nutrient imbalance can cause mental disorders by disrupting gene expression of proteins and enzymes, crippling the body's protection against environmental toxins, and changing brain levels of key neurotransmitters. Walsh's database has connected nutrient imbalances in patients diagnosed with a variety of disorders found in the DSM.
Praise for Nutrient Power
"Over his impressive career, Dr. Walsh has worked with 30,000 patients with conditions ranging from autism to schizophrenia to Alzheimer's. His book is an essential tool for anyone who would prefer to heal the brain with nutrients rather than drugs." -Teri Arranga, editor-in-chief, Autism Science Digest
"Walsh is not a Renaissance man: he's a Renaissance scientist. He invented a lithium battery that has been used in cars and hearts; he won the Abram Hoffer Doctor of the Year award, although he is a chemical engineer; he found the physical causes of violence, sociopathic behavior, depression, schizophrenia, and a dozen other troubling behaviors-and he found the treatments too; his studies are elegant and often commissioned by the National Institutes of Health, and his work on autism is as original as the man himself. This book could change medical history." -Marguerite, Kelly, syndicated columnist, The Washington Post
