This photo shows Adelle Davis, who was very controversial. Dr. Barrett, who runs the Quackwatch website, considers Davis to have been a quack. This author has a different point of view. Davis, a nutritionist, was born in 1904 and died of cancer in 1974. Davis advocated a diet for mental disease. This diet was a modification of the famous Harris diet for hypoglycemia. This author (Olson) considers Davis to have been a prophet because she was one of the first to recognize mental disease as having similarities to hypoglycemia. This view was later considered orthomolecular because it was adopted by orthomolecular psychiatrists. Mental illness is indeed an error in carbohydrate metabolism, much like a cerebral diabetes.
