Synopsis
This book is one of the better ones because of its wide coverage of every aspect of orthomolecular practice, with descriptions of all the syndromes with which psychiatrists must deal. For interested physicians, this makes it much easier to enter the field, as they can find the information they need in one or two books. We desperately need doctors to transform their practices as quickly as possible in order to slow the ever-increasing rate of disease development. The curve that relates prevalence of serious chronic illness against time is not linear. It is curvilinear upward, and if unchecked we will see over 75 percent of our populations suffer from one or more serious chronic illnesses in the next decade or two. Optimum Nutrition for the Mind gives us a most powerful weapon in our fight against mental disease. It is also essential reading for anyone wanting to stay in top mental health throughout life, free from depression, memory decline, and, even worse, senility.

À propos de l?auteur
Patrick Holford began his academic career in experimental psychology. While at York University he became interested in the biochemistry of mental illness. His research led him to two pioneers in the field: Dr. Carl Pfeiffer from Princetons Brain Bio Center, and Dr. Abram Hoffer, former director of psychiatric research for Saskatchewan, Canada. Both claimed that nutritional therapy gave outstanding results in treating mental health problems. He became their student and later, that of twice Nobel prize winner Dr Linus Pauling. In 1984 Patrick Holford founded the Institute for Optimum Nutrition (ION). A charitable and independent educational trust for furthering education and research in nutrition, ION is now one of the most respected training colleges for clinical nutritionists.
