New Optimum Nutrition for the Mind

Bought this book under a recommendation from my peers on my Nutrition course. Found it to be very insightful. I have a relative who is Schizophrenic so it was good to understand how the condition affects them, and put it into perspective. As with all Partick Holford books, it is thorough, whilst still covering a lot of bases. Really pleased with this book - buy the Optimum Nutrition Bible whilst you're at it to obtain a truely rounded base of knowledge to human health.

Patrick Holford is highly regarded among people who understand nutrition. His "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind" was ground-breaking and extremely detailed. I decided to purchase this new version as a work of reference. Holford's theme is that many afflictions of the mind are caused by faulty nutrition e.g. mineral or vitamin insufficiency, food allergy or toxicity compromising metabolic activities. The book cites research and offers hope to sufferers.

Great book full of important information

She met the author and asked for the book. She rates him and his ideas. Quite an academic book but an interesting thesis.

Bought this book just before I started medical school because I had an interest in nutrition and the mind-body relationship, and wanted something that would be relatively easy to read but had also been well-researched. Halfway through the book however, it became clear that he was a complete charlatan – he supports of the hypothesis that there is a potential link in some susceptible children between the MMR vaccine and the development of autism-like symptoms. After that I researched some of his other claims and it became clear that none of the claims he makes in the book could be trusted. Don't waste your money.

Interesting, but intense......not read it all!

I ordered the 2009 up-dated edition, but instead received the 2007 edition. In addition, it's a totally different cover and there is yellow staining on the pages.

Questo libro dovrebbero leggerlo tutti, ma i medici dovrebbero essere i primi, per poter fare una diagnosi più accurata e migliorare la qualità di vita dei pazienti.

Helpful information.

How can one dislike such an informative book which has a wise appeal to all with an interest in the subject of the mind.? This book has a broad appeal based on science and written by an expert. I bought this book for my husband and he is reading this with great interest as a medical professional. He rarely reads books on the subject of nutrition but I was delighted to see him immersed in this book and refer to it as a source of credible information on the subject of nutrition and its effect on the mind. An excellent book, well written and most informative.

A great book on healing from mental issues without resorting to drugs

Very helpful and easy to read. Packed with information. I have tried some of the recommendations myself with amazing results. I can't wait to try more. It has helped me improve my health and well-being.
