Note to Readers
This book is a unique source of information, guidance, inspiration, and hope for people
who wish to fight mental problems without the toxic effects of drugs and without long¬
term, expensive psychotherapy—as well as for those who have already tried those thera¬
pies without success. The information in this book should not be used for self-diagnosis
or self-treatment. While correctly chosen nutritional therapy is nontoxic, the author
stresses that only trained, licensed physicians in the field of orthomolecular medicine are
capable of correctly prescribing safe and effective nutritional therapy tailored to your in¬
dividual body chemistry. Please use the information in this book under the supervision of
such a physician. The author and the publisher expressly disclaim responsibility for any
adverse consequences resulting directly or indirectly from the use of this book.

Dedication «««■ STATE ST 60605
To the memory of my parents, who suffered and died—needlessly
early, I think—because the new field of orthomolecular (nutritional)
medicine, covered in this book, was not known to us.
To my loved ones who have made “miraculous” recoveries be¬
cause they were lucky enough to know of orthomolecular medicine
and approached it with an open mind.
To the pioneering doctors who developed orthomolecular medi¬
cine, and continue to refine it, often fighting strong odds created by
skeptics who have not investigated this field with an open mind, if
at all.
And perhaps most important, to those for whom I wrote this
book: Those who do not know that nontoxic orthomolecular thera¬
pies offer hope for those with mental disorders, even when main¬
stream therapies may have failed. In the words of Marshall
Mandell, M.D., who pioneered one major branch of orthomolecular
therapy, this book is dedicated to “those who have suffered without
hope, and need suffer no longer.”
