About this listen

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.

Editorial reviews

Winner of multiple awards including AudioFile Best Voice in 2008, narrator Richard Allen performs with great credibility and sincerity as he describes Dr. William Walsh's science-based nutrient therapy system for people with mental disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. Dr. Walsh proposes that addressing the body's underlying biochemical imbalances is more effective than treating symptoms with psychiatric drugs, and he emphasizes the necessity of investigating the causal factors for each individual. Allen's resonant voice underscores the significance of Dr. Walsh's aim to achieve true normalization of the brain.

Very Enlightening

Great to see results achieved through nutrition therapy I look forward to the future when this therapy is more widely available

Fascinating!

As a layperson with a strong interest in biochemistry and the power of nutrients, I found this book fascinating. I hope this field can help many people in need of healing and I hope more medical practitioners become versed in it.

Needs to be re-read by a different performer

I’m finding it VERY difficult to listen to because the reader sounds somewhere between AI/robotic and like a 1940’s radio broadcaster. And I’m not trying to be mean, it just really needs to be said because I’m actually fact the content is very pointed and needs to be accessible and coherently understood. Please consider having this reread!

Valuable content, terrible narrator

The content in this book seems well founded and extremely valuable. However, it’s extremely difficult to listen to. I’d recommend listening to the sample first. A hard copy or kindle copy might be a better option.

Best book I've ever read and I read a lot

I highly recommend this book, as it is remarkable in healing the brain, and stabilising brain chemistry. It proves that the body is really a bi- product of the nutrition that we provide our bodies. The author is extremely knowledgeable on this subject , and I believe a pioneer on how we can treat mental health imbalances in the future. It gives hope...

Great book terrible narration

Great book, love the theories but I would say it would be difficult to follow for somebody who doesn't have a science background.

The narrator really let the book down, he sounds like a robot and cannot pronounce scientific terms correctly.

i couldn't even listen to 5 mins

i have never been unable to listen to a book but this is an exception. i couldnt even follow what the narrator was saying due to his ridiculous inflections and robotic voice. This may have been a great book but i will never know.

Worst narration ever

This book summarises some of the most fascinating and vital research that should be much more widely distributed and known by the general public.

It is such a shame that the narration is so awful and off putting. Please re-issue this one with a new narration!

Interesting information but unbearable narrator

I’m getting a hard copy to read for the information the author intended, this audio version is unlistenable for me personally.
Wish I’d sampled it first but I wouldn’t have thought any narration could be so unusually difficult to sit through.

Content A+++ Narrator Z------

I love audio books as I drive a lot and on long journeys so they must be great to listen to. The content is detailed and scientific, therefore it needs to be narrated in a way that will keep the listener focussed and interested. As another reviewer stated I could only listen to it for a couple of chapters. Perhaps if the author could have it re-narrated it would be a hit! Whomever allowed/ok'd the release this book narrated like this did the author a total disservice.
