Overview

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.

Overview

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.

    Nutrition/Supplements/Mental Health

    I have just ordered three of these books . . . one for a mental health patient, one for a therapist, and one for an internist.
    Reason Being: I was a participant at the Brain Bio Center, Princeton, NJ in the 1980's and went through thorough testing of my nutritional needs.

    (This after discharge from a mental facility that made matters worse experimenting with different medications and talk therapy. The last treatment suggested was electrric shock treatment, which I did not take.)

    I was just about able to write a letter of introduction to the Brain Bio Center (being practically bed-bound.)

    They responded and I went for their outpatient intensive nutritional treatment supplemented by vitamin therapy. And, they helped me get back to life, to being a functioning adult.

    I cannot recommend this approach to treatment enough. It saved me. I am now 66 years of age and still doing well because of their help.
