Title: A pioneer in mental health and nutrition
Product review: This is one of the first books to support the link between good nutrition and better mental functioning. I was impressed with the studies and experiments that indicated the problems of depression being linked with low blood sugar and schizophrenia linked with white flour allergies. Dr. Fredericks describes how the two basic metabolisms, Fast Oxidizers and Slow Oxidizers have different nutritional needs. (This theory is similar to Oz Gracia's Fast, Slow and Mixed Burner categories in the book, The Balance.) Dr. Fredericks also gives case studies where people with emotional disturbances were able to "cure" themselves with mega dosages of supplements such as vitamin B1 or extra amounts of sleep. This book is well-written and sheds some light on body chemistry and mental/emotional health. You might save a trip to the pharmacist and find some solutions to your own personal problems.Doug Setter, Bsc. author ofStomach FlatteningandOne Less Victim: A Prevention Guide
