Walsh Nutrient Protocols for Brain Symptoms
Though there are more than one thousand nutrients important in the body, Dr. Walsh found that only about six or seven have a dramatic impact on mental health.
The Walsh Research Institute
In 18 years, Dr. William Walsh and the Walsh Research Institute evaluated and treated 30,000 patients. This resulted in 3 million chemistries - the world's largest database on nutrient levels in individuals with mental disorders. Within this were nutrient levels on more specific populations, ie. 3600 individuals with depression. Dr. Walsh has seen 6500 autistic children, more than anyone in the world. His database even includes 25 serial killers and mass murders. He’s assisted the FBI and Scotland Yard and has designed nutritional programs for Olympic and professional athletes.
Though there are more than one thousand nutrients important in the body, Dr. Walsh found that, as he says, "..only about six or seven ...seem to have a dramatic impact on mental health. I used to be bothered by the fact that the same chemical imbalances kept turning up in different conditions.... It turns out that each of these nutrient factors is directly involved in either the synthesis or the epigenetic regulation of a neurotransmitter in the brain. That was really good news. If we had to study over 200 possible chemical imbalances and correct whatever we found, designing treatments would be very difficult. Fortunately, we can focus on six or seven nutrients, and by balancing them, we can help most people with mental disorders."
