The nutrient therapies described in this book require supervision by an experienced medical professional. Nutrient overloads or deficiencies can have a powerful effect on brain functioning, and improper treatment can cause harm. The brain is a very complex organ, and accurate diagnosis of nutrient imbalances requires testing of blood and urine together with a detailed knowledge of a person’s medical history, traits, and symptoms. Readers must not attempt self-treatment based on information in this book.

The case histories in this book provide examples of the treatment approach for specific biochemical imbalances and describe the experiences of real patients. Names and certain other information have been changed to assure patient confidentiality. The case histories are intended to illustrate the clinical process and should not be regarded as evidence of treatment effectiveness.

Finally, The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language* defines mental illness as “Any of various conditions characterized by impairment of an individual’s normal cognitive, emotional, or behavioral functioning, and caused by social, psychological, biochemical, genetic, or other factors, such as infection or head trauma.” The use of the term mental illness in this book is descriptive only, and no disrespect is intended to the value of the persons experiencing the types of challenges described in this book. The principal objective of this volume is to provide information to help restore health, function, and happiness in the safest way possible.
