Natural Mental Health Cures – Orthomolecular Psychiatry
Wed, Mar 10, 2010
Be My Friend – www.myspace.com Natural Mental Health Cures Orthomolecular Psychiatry is nutrition and natural substances used to help balance any chemical imbalances in the body and treat mental disorders, mental illness or psychiatric symptoms. This is a natural way to treat mental health problems like Depression, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Anxiety problems, etc. By correcting the imbalance naturally, you eliminate psychiatric symptoms for good without the use of long term medications which only cover up problems such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, anti-anxiety medications, etc.

This makes sense.. Pellagra used to be considered a mental illness until they discovered it was really just a deficiency of niacin
Love this video. There are too many alternatives to medications. I made slid film showing ways to be mentally healthy.
Just Curious…Have you had a urine test to check your hormones? Have you been on lots of antibiotics which can cause yeast overgrowth. Could you have blood sugar problems.? Nutrient deficiencies? All or a combo can cause mental problems. I know! Been there done that … and survived (just barely/they almost cost me my life) after taking medications for Depression.
I meant RESORTING.
I’ve tried ALL alternatives before resporting to psych meds. Alernatives treatments SHOULD be tried first, but if that doesn’t work, psych meds can be very helpful and increase the quality of someones life.
I hear um water works well because most of us are dehydreated…Gabriel Cousens has a book about curing depression he clamims its a 90% sucesses rate
good post
Yeah but he’s human. I’m not a pro football player -but I can call a bum play from the bench all day. Don’t read way into this. Just read it for what I state. Read my comment below this.
maybe vegan diets, but not vegetarian diets! Raw milk, Navy beans, and free range eggs are among the best sources of protien on earth. Add secondary sources of protein from brown rice, spinach and others and you have a perfect balance. Some of the best athletes and minds in the world are vegetarian.
This is a great book. The author also wrote a book called The Mood Cure. This was very helpful for me in dealing with my Bipolar Disorder.
Actually, saliva tests are a better way to determine neurotransmitter levels. He is not, however, promoting psychmeds. He is supporting the use of nutritional supplements, such as vitamins & amino acids, to balance brain chemistry. This is an approach supported by Orthomolecular Medicine. This discipline was developed by Linus Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize winner. His focus was mainly on psychiatric disorders. This was so effective that his research continues today.
He’s a “doctor” of chiropractic “medicine”. DC not MD. He shouldn’t even be talking about psychiatry since this is WAY beyond the scope of his “practice”.
Vegetarian and vegan diets are excellent for cleansing but they tend to be horrible for building.
There are practically no usable amino acids in vegetation; and the ones that are there MUST be combined with amino acids from other foods, otherwise they’ll do you no good at all. Human beings evolved eating animal protein and animal fat. HUGE amounts of animal fat.
I eat it but not unless it’s from organic, free range animals. In my opinion people don’t deserve to get healthy from sick ones.
I’m a vegan and I don’t take my pills anymore and I’m getting better everyday.
This dr. doesn’t have facts.I support exercise,healthy eating. HOWEVER,HE WRONGLY SAYS WE CAN DETERMINE CHEMICAL IMBALANCES VIA URINE TESTS.(Facts:there’s no way to measure dopamine, serotonin,etc.Scientists don’t know what a normal level of these chemicals [neurotransmitters] is.)This dr. out-0f-touch with research,doesn’t realize no proof that psychiatric patients have chemical imbalances,no proof that psychmeds balance chemicals. Psych meds are scam to make huge $. This guy making own buck.
Oh and one more thing. A great book that I found to be a very helpful guide in finding the proper herbal remedies I needed was called “The Diet Cure.” It has questions to help you figure out exactly what might help you. And if you first dont find what you are looking for, at least this method will not fry your brain in the process!
I allowed my intuition to guide me in this direction. I ended up finding by intuition the very amino acids, omega 3s, and vitamins which allowed me to bring myself into balance without drugs. Thank you for validation!!!
I like b complex vitamins because they help reduce the anxiety and irritability you get from caffeine.
I think Niacin helps with depression. Find out what nutrition and supplements help with it and check with the doctor for the pregnant mother to take?? That is my thoughts.
*Certain* genes, it should’ve read. For example, your eye color is pretty much pre-determined, but nutrition will do its thing on genes related to how tall you’ll be. Now, if “bad” genes are turned off or buffered by other, “good” genes, that are turned on, your body will work differently, and as cellular renewal keeps on going, you become more and more “whole”.
I’m no expert, but environmental stimulus can turn genes on and off – this includes proper nutrition. I recommend looking into raw veganism (which is what our distant ancestors were all into, being herbi-frugivores – that is, before meat, animal products, and the highly-processed “foods” of today entered into our history because of cultural evolution, which is much more prone to “mistakes” than biological evolution). A switch to this diet has helped many with all kinds of ailments.
oops, that no should read now sorry
Hi Dr Vince,
My major/severe depression (and no diagnosed bipolar as well) gene has been passed down through my family, how will a post-natal change of (brain) chemistry help further generations, please?
Thank you.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience with paxil. If you want to reject all “mainstream medicine” that’s your decision. Be aware however that huge amounts of vitamins and amino acids can be dangerous.
that’s why this approach is so important.
