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

”What began as a quest to help my then-3-year-old daughter has resulted not only in her recovery but has become the journey of a lifetime! Dr. Walsh is a revolutionary thinker who guides us into the emerging world of biochemical balancing, the growing body of research into epigenetics, and understanding how these fields relate so they can be applied right here, right now.”

This book is a condensed description of Dr. William Walsh’s 30 years research in the field of nutrient therapy to treat mental disorders. The science-based medical approach developed by this scientist is called "biomedical therapy" or "nutrient therapy." Dr. Walsh created non-profits in order to be able to conduct research about the role of vitamins, mineral, and amino acids in mental disorders. He has presented his research to the American Psychiatric Association. The treatment can be done parallel to the regular psychiatric treatment, if the patient is taking neuroleptics or any psychiatric medication. Dr. Walsh recognizes the importance of methylation processes and epigenetics in brain disorders.
The nutrient therapy treatment aims at regulating the synthesis of neurotransmitters using natural chemistry, without producing the negative side effects that the psychiatric drugs generate. The book is written in a simple language, so that, a layperson like me, can understand some basic chemical processes that occur in the human body/brain. The author explains the neurotransmitter’s life cycle and synthesis such as norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and gaba.
There are chapters on epigenetics, schizophrenia, depression, autism, behavior disorders, Alzheiner’s, and about the clinical process used in the treatment. What I think is great is that they use blood, urine, and sometimes hair tests to diagnose the chemical imbalance of each patient. The treatment is designed specifically for each person, according with the patient’s biochemistry results. The author states that deviant epigenetic marks that cause brain chemistry imbalances are likely to be reversible.
Examining the biochemistry of 30,000 patients diagnosed with mental disorders, the researcher discovered the incidence of methylation disorders. He correlated the DSM diagnosis with the level of methylation he found in the mental disorder patients he studied. Some biotypes tend to be more overmethylated, while others tend to be more undermethylated. Dr. Walsh has great insights into the treatment of behavior disorders. This book is great, and it will revolutionize the psychiatric treatment. Mental health professionals need to realize that there are effective treatments that do not have the terrible side effects that psychiatric drugs do. Medical professionals should learn about these treatments.
“Nutrient Power” is a blessing in my family’s life. I wish I had known about this treatment before. Dr. William Walsh is a wonderful man, who has been dedicating his career to the development of a protocol for patients with behavior disorders. One great difference between nutrient therapy and the regular laboratory created drug treatment is that the nutrient treatment uses natural body chemicals to restore the person to a normal state.
I have been watching videos of Dr. Walsh’s presentations and interviews about his theory and treatment. I also read some of the articles on the non-profit he created, Walsh Research Institute. If it were possible I would give more than five stars to this book and to this great scientist.
Overall, I love Dr. Walsh's approach. I've read about other practitioners such as Ben Lynch and Amy Yasko who have different approaches to methylation issues and don't focus as much on other issues like copper/zinc, but when I try their approach it always makes me worse. Walsh's approach works for me like none other, and he even explains why the protocols suggested by Lynch and Yasko don't work for people with my symptoms.
It was amazing to me that he his protocol has had so much success at dealing with depression, schizophrenia, dementia, and other issues, using only OTC supplements! I also appreciate that The Walsh Institute is a non-profit. It truly feels like he's trying to help, never trying to sell you on anything.
If I had to pick things to complain about, one complaint would be that this book seems to start out covering basic science at a pretty high level and then just gives executive summaries of his approaches to treat various issues. I would have appreciated more detail, but then again I have studied all this stuff in great detail before buying this book. If this is all totally new to you, then this is probably a great place to start.
Another issue I have is that, aside from just recommending things like "supplement zinc", "supplement methionine", it doesn't go into great detail about how to do it. Part of that is that he recommends running tests first with a trained practitioner and having them suggest the treatment protocol rather than treating it yourself, and I agree that that is the ideal route. And he points out that you can make things worse if you don't do things exactly right; for example, treating low zinc with high zinc intake while ignoring other imbalances can actually make your zinc/copper imbalance worse. However, if I'm not willing to spend the money to see a practitioner or there's nobody trained in the Walsh protocol near me, I'm sort of left high and dry. I bought the book expecting to get more details about how to attempt treatment on my own.
Despite the drawbacks, I'm still very happy to have read it, and I learned a lot despite having studied this material a lot before reading the book.
