Nutrient Power

By: William J. Walsh

Narrated by: Richard Allen

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Publisher's Summary

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.

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.

Not for Novices

The content of this book is great, but it is very technical at times. If you are not familiar with medical and scientific terminology, this book might be a little difficult for you to listen to.

The reader takes a while to get used to as his voice is monotone. After an hour, you get used to it though.

I would recommend this book for those interested in improving the health and quality of their own life and the lives of loved ones.

Important Info, challenging listening

Any additional comments?

Import info for people with many different kinds of mental/emotional challenges. Worth checking out. Would have rated it a 5, but had audio version and I found the narrator's voice difficult to listen to. Eventually, I did get used to the odd inflection and tonation.

Tons of Information

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

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.

What I have been looking for!

This is a very insightful book! The information in this book is invaluable and I cannot thank you enough for writing it! Thank you!

Powerful Information for Difficult Diseases

Dr. Walsh's research is invaluable in treating patient's with mental, emotional, and other illnesses such as Autism with biochemical protocols and also is complex and difficult to understand, but his classification and amazing success with so many patient's is heartwarming, and brings hope to those who may have had no hope in the past. I appreciate the book very much.

Extremely compelling science with bad narration

While this book is so compelling to me that I've gone back to it over the years, but every time I listen to it, the narrator's sing-song voice drives me crazy. There is nothing natural about the reading whatsoever, and it nearly causes me to miss the point of what's being said or to discern it as non-chalantly as the reader seems to intend it. If you want to understand this book as seriously as the writer intended, do yourself a favor and read the hard-copy for yourself. This guy's voice is better intended for children's books than for science topics.

LifeChanging

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

Great material

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

world changing book

an amazing book which could have massive change on the world. So many invaluable things learnt from listening to it

Extremely Dense

I am not entirely clear who this book is aimed at - I can only assume it is meant to prod the medical profession into action because the level of detail is immense. I had hoped for something more like a ‘user guide’ and it is certain not that. Stiff delivery doesn’t help either. If you are a parent in need then be prepared to have to do some serious work to draw out the key points (which meant even be as simple as ‘get tested’!). Would love to know what others think...
