Abstract: Reduced violent behavior following biochemical therapy [without drugs]

[Guest guest]

..Behavior Research: A seminal paper on our behavior therapy

was published in October, 2004 in Physiology and Behavior, a

respected peer-reviewed journal.

This paper describes the major impact of nutrients onneurotransmitters and brain function, describes the chemical

imbalances prevalent in behavior disorders, describes the

Pfeiffer clinical approach, and presents outcome data

which show striking reductions in the frequency of

assaultive and destructive incidents after individualized

biochemical therapy.http://www.hriptc.org/current_research_projects.html1 of 1Physiology & BehaviorVolume 82, Issue 5, 15 October 2004, Pages 835-839doi:10.1016/j.physbeh.2004.06.023 2004 Elsevier Inc.

We conducted an outcome study to measure the

effectiveness of biochemical therapy for 207 consecutive

patients presenting with a diagnosed behavior disorder.

The treatment protocols were based on clinical evaluation

Pfeiffer Treatment Center (PTC) over a 10-year period.

 

Each test subject was screened for chemical imbalances

previously found in high incidence in this population,

including metal-metabolism disorders, methylation

abnormalities, disordered pyrrole chemistry, heavy-metal

overload, glucose dyscontrol, and malabsorption. The

clinical procedure included a medical history, assay of

90 biochemical factors, and a physical examination.

Standardized treatment protocols were applied for

each imbalance that was identified. The frequencies

of physical assaults and destructive episodes were

determined using a standardized behavior scale before

and after treatment, with follow-up ranging from 4 to

8 months.ResultsSeventy-six percent of the test subjects achieved

compliance during the treatment period. The remaining

24% were reported of the compliant assaultive patients,

with 58% achieving elimination of the behavior. A

total of 88% of compliant destructive patients

exhibited a reduced frequency of destructive incidents

and 53% achieved elimination of the behavior.

Statistical significance was found for reduced frequency

of assaults (t=7.74, p<0.001) and destructive incidents

(t= 8.77, p<0.001). The results of this outcome study

strongly suggest that individualized biochemical therapy

may be efficacious in achieving behavioral improvementsin this patient population.Keywords:
