An Introduction to Walsh Protocol

Over the past few decades, the primary means to treat behavioral and mental disorders has predominantly centered around addressing imbalanced brain chemistry through pharmaceuticals by targeting serotonin, dopamine, and other common neurotransmitters.in conjunction with behavioral/talk therapy.​

While proving successful in benefiting people diagnosed with mental health and behavioral conditions, the focus had been on symptom management and behavioral interventions. The gap in understanding WHY an individual might not be producing sufficient neurotransmitters naturally, or have not responded to medication has been consistently overlooked until recently.​

The production of neurotransmitters are synthesized from NUTRIENTS—such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other natural compounds.​ As part of our protocol, we use advanced nutrient therapy. This involves the supplementation of therapeutic doses of these vitamins, minerals, and amino acids.​

The benefits to this alternative approach include:

​

• An alternative method for correcting imbalances in neurotransmitter activity

• Use of natural substances rather than pharmaceuticals

• Reduction of accompanying side effects from medications

• This protocol can be used in combination with existing medications

As neuroscience progresses with advancements in the understanding of brain chemistry, there is great potential for nutrient therapy to gradually replace psychiatric drugs as the preferred treatment for mental illness and behavioral disorders.​
