Preventing Post Partum Depression:A
Case Report, Richard Malter, Ph.D.
During the past ten years, we have read or heard about mothers who became violent and, in bizarre ways, killed one or more of their children. Many of these women were prescribed anti-depressants following the birth of a child and the onset of a post partum depression (PPD). In many cases, these mothers have been described as loving, caring, and well functioning women who were given prescriptions for antidepres-sant medications, especially one of the serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) types such as Prozac® or Zoloft.®
There is strong reason to believe that these SSRI anti-depressant drugs can radically alter the functioning of a person's brain chemistry and lead to changes in think-ing, emotional reactions, and behavior resulting in homicidal and/or suicidal violence.

Dr.
Hoffer's ABC of Natural Nutrition for Children: With Learning Disabilities,
Behavioral Disorders, and Mental State Dysfunctions Review by Andrew Saul, Ph.D.: "A riddle: how many years does it take for a new way of treating behavior disorders in children to be generally accepted? The answer is forty, according to Abram Hoffer, M.D, Ph.D. There are few physicians who have sufficient experience to personally validate such a claim, but Dr. Hoffer can. He pioneered megavitamin research and treatment back in the early 1950's, and, half a century later, has still been largely ignored by the medical profession. Why? Because Dr. Hoffer treats ADHD kids with vitamins. And, he gets results." Continue reading review |

Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders: Complementary Nutritional
& Psychological Treatments New
hope for children with ADD and behavioral disorders. Food allergies
and nutrient deficiency are the predominant causes of chronic attention
and behavior disorders, says Dr. Hoffer, who has treated over 2,000
children. Nutritional therapy is superior to pharmaceutical, psychotherapeutic,
and surgical intervention in treating these disorders. Nutritional
therapy for both physical and mental illness restores well-being
with a combination of optimum nutrition from common foods and vitamin
and mineral supplements. Featured are comprehensive |
