Peer-reviewed authors and experts from Harvard, Mt. Sinai Hospital, The University of California, and The Oakland Research Institute will discuss the vital role of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential fatty acids in mental health as well as various protocols of nutrients currently being used to maximize mental health far beyond what they had previously seen using only medication.
These researchers have discovered a powerful compound of nutrients that have effectively treated symptoms of bipolar disorder and depression with a success rate exceeding that of medication at 80%. They have also proven effective treating OCD and schizophrenia.
First created in Canada, the unprecedented efficacy of the micronutrient compounds caught the attention of Harvard psychiatrist Charles Popper who brought the treatment to hundreds of patients. Today, thousands of documented Canadians and Americans are well on their path to freedom of mental illnesses.
Currently micronutrients for the treatment of mental health are also being formally studied at the University of Calgary and the University of California. Several peer-reviewed articles have already been published to date.
Keynote speaker: Dr. Joyce McCann, Staff Scientist in the Nutrition and Metabolism Center at the Children's Hospital, Oakland Research Institute and Dr. Bruce N. Ames will discuss their critical review articles on the causal relationships between micronutrient deficiencies and brain dysfunction.
