Light on Schizophrenia It is well documented that nutrient deficiencies, nutrient dependencies, and environmental toxins such as heavy metals, contribute to the pathogenesis of mental health disorders. Ignoring this reality means missing out on the opportunity to make the lives of people with schizophrenia better. Conventional treatments for schizophrenia may not help or may even make things worse. Many patients and caregivers want more than just medications. They want to understand WHY things are the way they are. Light on Schizophrenia clearly lays out the causes and contributors to schizophrenia from the Orthomolecular perspective, and it offers solutions. "Orthomolecular" refers to the roles of vitamins, minerals and other essential molecules in the body. This book is an update to Dr. Abram Hoffer's 2007 book, Orthomolecular Treatment for Schizophrenia and Other Mental Illnesses: A Guide for Practitioners. It contains Dr. Hoffer's chronicles of his 57 years of experience and success in treating schizophrenia patients; it also integrates current knowledge on the causes and moderators of schizophrenia. Light on Schizophrenia contains valuable new contributions from James Greenblatt, MD, and Jonathan Prousky, ND. Both doctors have decades of clinical experience working with patients with schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. This is the only book to provide a comprehensive look at the Orthomolecular approach to schizophrenia.

[Use same head text for all four titles] HEALING SCHIZOPHRENIA Dr Abram Hoffer pioneered the use of Vitamin B-3 (niacin) as a treatment for various schizophrenias starting in 1952 and has proven over a long series of experiments and case studies that this treatment can double the natural or spontaneous recovery rate. Despite these conclusive findings, the American Psychiatric Association and international drug companies have shown no enthusiasm for such vitamin treatments, promoting instead the use of high-priced tranquilizers and antidepressants which can be patented (unlike vitamins) and sold at high cost. This is the story of Dr Hoffer's quest to provide natural, effective treatment for schizophrenics; this is also the story of schizophrenic patients who have been healed by vitamin treatment.

[Set this out as the head text for all for titles] Before his death at age 91, Dr Abram Hoffer published more than 20 books and 500 research papers on clinical nutrition, chiefly on the therapeutic effect of vitamin B-3 and vitamin C. The four most influential of his studies are now available in professional editions, casebound and jacketed, with reference lists and indexes. These titles are essential acquisitions for medical libraries and the foundation of further research in the therapeutic value of clinical nutrition. HEALING CANCER Written in collaboration with his friend and colleague Linus Pauling, Dr Abram Hoffer presents the results of his nutritional or orthomolecular treatment of hundreds of patients suffering from various forms of cancer. These results show that megadoses of vitamin C and other nutrients are not only highly effective for reversing the progress of this disease in many cases but also for improving the quality of life in others. Healing Cancer not only refutes critics of megavitamin treatment for cancer through the evidence of Dr Hoffer's case studies and Dr Pauling's statistical analysis, but, more importantly, offers new hope to cancer patients for surviving this disease.

HEALING CHILDREN'S ATTENTION &amp; BEHAVIOR DISORDERS Following upon the success of his previous books on clinical nutrition therapy for adults, Dr Abram Hoffer examines most chronic illnesses suffered by children, with special attention to learning and behavioral disorders, and based on over 2,000 case studies, discovers that dietary deficiency is the predominant cause. He recommends against pharmaceutical (ritalin, for example), psychotherapeutic, and surgical intervention in favor of the orthomolecular diet he developed many years ago in cooperation with Dr Linus Pauling. Clinical nutrition therapy of physical and psychological illness and disorder uses a combination of optimum nutrition from common foods with vitamin and mineral supplements. The book features full accounts of these case studies, in which many parents will find their own children's illnesses diagnosed; a comprehensive guide to the nutrient value of common foods, which a parent can follow in developing an optimum diet; and a complete guide to vitamin and mineral supplements for children, with recommended dosages.
