Drawing on the research of orthomolecular medicine, the author offers medically tested guidelines for treating a wide range of psychological problems--from depression to Alzheimer's disease--with special nutrition.

Medical writer Lazarus (Keeping Your Pet Healthy the Natural Way) offers much information on the little-known nutritional healing approach known as orthomolecular psychiatry, whose practitioners turn "holistic" medical theory inside out to heal the mind through the body. Lazarus cites studies, case histories and anecdotal evidence to demonstrate that what is ingested or breathed can have wide-ranging effects on the psyche and emotions: a young man's psychotic rages at his mother disappear when an electric range is substituted for a fume-dispersing gas one; a woman's severe depression is cured by eliminating chicken from her diet. Although she offers tips on prevention and self-care, Lazarus stresses that orthomolecular therapy is not for do-it-yourselfers?particularly in treating severe psychiatric disorders. A pedantic style and many redundancies make for slow, heavy reading. Nonetheless, Lazarus offers a unique, informative addition to consumer medical literature.
