Walsh Protocol for Mental & Behavioral Health
I have been trained by Dr. William Walsh to assess and treat the different biochemical imbalances that underlie many mental and behavioral health conditions.
From The Walsh Research Institute:
“Science has made great advances in the understanding of complex brain processes, and we are approaching an era in which psychiatric medications may no longer be necessary. An under-appreciated fact is that the primary raw materials for the synthesis of many neurotransmitters are nutrients - amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other natural biochemicals that we obtain from food.
Advanced nutrient therapy (vitamins, minerals and amino acids) offers an alternative treatment approach, which represents a natural method of correcting imbalances in neurotransmitter activity. The clinical challenge is to determine biochemistry of each patient and to develop an individualized treatment plan aimed at normalizing brain chemistry.
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. Dr. Walsh’s database containing millions of chemical factors in blood, urine and tissues has identified high-incidence imbalances in patients challenged by behavior disorders, ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease. The treatment protocol consists of a medical history, specialized lab testing, diagnosis of chemical imbalance, and individualized treatment aimed at normalizing brain chemistry.
A major advantage of advanced nutrient therapy is the absence of the serious side effects associated with psychiatric medications. This therapy uses natural chemicals rather than molecules that are foreign to the brain which induce an abnormal condition. Advanced nutrient therapy can used together with medication and counseling providing great flexibility to the mental health practitioner.”
