Nutrient Power

Heal Your Biochemistry and Heal Your Brain

By: William J. Walsh

Narrated by: Richard Allen

Psychiatry has made great advances in the past 50 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 50 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.

Tons of Information

This is one I will have to listen to again. Great information. I should have been taking notes.

This book transformed my view of mental illness

I am a Licensed counselor. I am amazed at the science behind targeted nutrition and find myself frustrated as to why this was never mentioned in any graduate studies.

I am now enthusiastic about finding a way to integrate nutrition therapy into my group practice.

This book saved my daughter.

What made the experience of listening to Nutrient Power the most enjoyable?

This book not only shows the scientific evidence that psychiatric drugs only treat the problem, just the symptoms, but also explains how nutrients can really fix the problem, which problems are quickly to fix (like pyrroluria) and which are harder to fix (such as autism).

What was one of the most memorable moments of Nutrient Power?

There are several small sample cases which describe real people who got cured. This makes me think my daughter could be listed there.

What about Richard Allen’s performance did you like?

The narrator lacks in emotion, but yet the book is fascinating.

Any additional comments?

I had a bottle of anti-psychotic drug depakote in my hands, prescribed for my 2 year old girl. But because of this book I got the direction to cure her, read other books, and despite the lack of resources on the subject (I live in Brazil), I did it successfully. Nutrients did not just cure her mind and behavior, but her health also. Before, she had been admitted to hospital several times, including being in intensive care unit 3 times, but after nutrient therapy that has never happened anymore. She is now a very happy 4 year old girl, and I never opened the depakote bottle.

Great material

Great material, but the narrator was not very engaging. I realize it is science and that is hard to do, I suppose..

Good book

Nutrients sure affect us more than I had previously thought. This branch of study deserves more public awareness. 💯

LifeChanging

Forever grateful for finding this book. The work this man has done wont be fully appreciated for years.

Sacred wisdom

This book was amazing! The author not only did a lot of research in different areas of mental health such as depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and bi polar. I can’t believe that I just stumbled on it in Audible.

I have a family history and this book puts my family, lineage and descendants on the path to healing generational and trans-generational nutrient difficulties. Thank you so much for this amazing book that gives so much insight into healing your familial legacy and turning it into a powerful journey. 💕

You need to know!

This is extremely helpful to understand what bad nutrients can do in the body and good nutrients that can be bad some to stay away from.

Epigenetics is explained well in this book.

Practitioners need to be well versed in epigenetics to prescribe nutritional therapy. There needs to be more research on epigenetics and Psychoneuroimmunology symbolically conducted.

A must read

I was so relieved when I found this book and started reading it. It has helped me to find and weed out some dietary issues and has helped in opening my mind to nutrition as medication. I deeply encourage anyone to take the he time to read this title as well as others by the author. Life changing.
