Walsh Research Institute has reported on over 1.5 million lab assays and over 800,000 ADHD lab assays. They see improvement in over 80% of their patients. More than 1 million patients have received Walsh Research Institute protocols (1)

The brain is a chemical factory which produces serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and other brain chemicals 24 hours a day. The only raw material for these syntheses is nutrients, namely amino acids, vitamins and minerals. If the brain receives improper amounts of these nutrient building blocks, we can expect serious problems with our neurotransmitters. This affects how we think, feel and act.
Database findings demonstrate striking blood/urine chemistry differences between behavioral Disorders / ADHD populations and the rest of society.
More and more studies are being produced to demonstrate this. A recent study for problematic aggressive and violent behaviour disorders in male children and adolescents revealed that nutrient therapy appeared well tolerated, with favourable effects. The study included 32 males. It appeared effective in the reduction of parent reported aggressive and violent behaviours, and showed improvement in family functioning (2). Further research in the form of a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial is required to verify these initial positive observations. However, these results are promising.
Some causes of nutritional deficiencies currently identified are genetic predisposition, periods of rapid growth, toxic metal exposure, pesticide exposure, over oxidation and stress,
