Believing that drugs and psychoanalysis were not always the best course of treatment for a variety of mental illnesses, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer began an extensive program of research into the causes and treatment of mental illness, and in 1973 opened the Brain Bio Center in Princeton, New Jersey. Here, with a team of scientists, he found that many psychological problems can be traced to biochemical imbalances in the body. With these patients, he achieved unprecedented success in treating a wide range of mental problems by adjusting diet and providing specific nutritional supplements for those conditions where deficiences exist. This book documents his approach. Each year, thousands of people are diagnosed as schizophrenic; many more suffer from depression, anxiety, and phobias. Dr. Pfeiffer's methods of treatment presented in Nutrition and Mental Illness are a valuable adjunct to traditional therapies, and can bring hope of real wellness to many of those who suffer.
Editorial : "A proper biochemical balance is necessary to mental as well as physical health. In Nutrition and Mental Illness, Pfeiffer details how deficiencies (and excesses) of various nutrients can lead to imbalances that result in mood swings, manic-depressive states, schizophrenia and antisocial behavior. Pfeiffer also explains how these conditions are treated with nutrients rather than drugs; he calls the latter 'a door that leads nowhere." (Health Foods Business)
"Many of the chapters outline possible causes and nutritional treatment for different mental disorders-from depression to senility. His methods may be a valuable adjunct to traditional therapies, and may offer hope to those who have had no success with those therapies." (Let's Live)
"Nutrition and Mental Illness is very readable for physician and patient, presenting itself almost as a cookbook for approaching mental illness and most chronic physical illnesses." (Jonathan Collin, M
As I am interested in possibly growing moringa oleifera, the planting information was exciting but it was certainly more thoroughly addressed at online sites. It is a truly contemporary, multi-media presentation of Alexander's ideas and I believe that helps to make it a wonderful resource for both the curious musician and non-musician.
I agree with other reviewers here, that Alcantara's writing style is warm, personal, and non-judgmental in a way that very much channels the spirit of an Alexander lesson. Good book. Life is a huge smorgasbord of experience and I hate to limit myself to living in one little box. This book guides you through advance designing such as Technical drawings and other information for fast tips.. I also appreciated Berg's humor, which is woven throughout the book, and his intriguing descriptions about life in rough-and-tumble Houston and trying a case before the US Supreme Court. I hate the wage economy, because it causes - forces is probably more acc
