This guide will show families, patients, and doctors how to change their behavior and improve their health through new skills that will last when psychiatric drugs are no longer used.
Over the past 50 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.
How to Help Heal Mental Disorders With Nutrition
“STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- There are four biochemical types of violent people. Many have severe zinc deficiency, pyrrole disorder, low blood spermine, and methylation defects — an unusual combination of bad biochemistry
- While there are hundreds of nutrients that are important for health, in the brain, six or seven dominate. These are nutrients that are either involved in the synthesis or functioning of neurotransmitters
- Nutrients that have a powerful influence on mental health include zinc, copper, B6, selenium, folates, and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe)”
