Most persons diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder with psychotic features, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder or other psychotic condition have a history of a mental "breakdown" which usually occurs during a period of physical or emotional stress between 15 and 26 years of age.
Pyroluric and overmethylated persons usually exhibited some warning signs of the disease before the age of 10, whereas many undermethylated patients were symptom-free until the breakdown. Chemical analyses of blood, urine, and tissues are essential in identifying the dominant chemical imbalances underlying a patient’s mental illness. However, there are many cases in which medications obscure certain key lab findings, and additional information is needed for accurate diagnosis.
Symptoms, traits, physical signs, medical history, and family history are very useful in determining a patient’s biochemical individuality.

Medical Practitioner Testimonials
"I have been practicing Nutritional & Environmental Medicine since 1985. This pathway has brought much excitement and passion to my practice of medicine. The opportunity to attend both the 2007 and 2008 Walsh-Pfeiffer Outreach in Sydney due to the enthusiasm of Marion Redstone has given me an even greater passion: i.e. to work with the children affected by Autism, ASD, ADHD etc."
