Mental health: This shrinkage of the brain is documented to be due to an Omega3 deficiency. One article describes the case of a fellow with schizophrenia who was dosed up with Omega3 and the schizophrenia disappeared!!! The research I am currently involved in relates to the use chelated zinc along with other minerals to help the body regain its homeostasis.. I work in mental health treatment and the diets of the severely and persistently mentally ill are seriously deficient in wholesome nutrients. Many eat out of the food banks where simple carbs are the choice of the day and very little if any nutritive foods like vegetables or fruits. Gluten is another huge problem that is completely ignored in mental health treatment (although it is documented in the research). The pharmaceutical companies are in full control and that means that programming that relate to aggressive attempts to improve diets will never surface.
Many of the chronically mentally ill can be relieved of their suffering, but not with the current protocols of layers of drugs. The sugar causes folks to dump their zinc... and zinc is the precursor for so many metabolic activities including the turning of aminos into neurotransmitters... Zinc is required to trigger the enzymes that transmute aminos into neurotransmitters... BUT, when the diet is poor then it allows for ongoing mental illness, hence the "need" for layered psychotropics. Which means that one will never get well because the root of the problem (mineral deficiencies) persists and is UNdiagnosed, UNtreated, and completely UNconsidered. Using nonchelated minerals is useless as well and several companies claim to have chelated but it is not a "true" chelated.
This whole scenario means we are spending billions upon billions of dollars on psychotropics for the disabled chronically mentally ill through our tax dollars (Medicaid/Medicare). TO change this would probably cost less than 1/4 of what it is costing now. But, we know who is in control of medicine and its not the docs....its the big pharma and they also control the medical boards.. I suspect. - Anonymous

Chronic fatigue,depression,schizophrenia and bipolar,etc. these mental disorders are now known as "disperceptions". they, too, are metabolic disorders and will respond to correction of the imbalance caused by prolonged dehydration. The use of stigmatized names for irregular brain functions, produced by chemical imbalance, will eventually be discontinued. for more explanation, listen to tape # 5. Doctor Batmanghelidj talks about the brain and what causes mental disorders and he also talks about the research of a medical doctor and Ph.D. His name is Carl C. Pfeiffer. His book is Nutrition and Mental Illness ISBN 0-89281-226-5. This tape or CD #5 is something that everyone should listen to as well as Dr B's tape/CD # 3. Anyhow # 5 explains what causes mental disorders and how one can correct them. Dr C Pfeiffer went thru 23,000 mental patients and discovered that it was caused from a lack of brain chemicals. This brain chemicals are amino acids and minerals, plus water and salt balance. I strongly suggest that a person get Dr B's book on Obesity,Cancer, Depression. Another very good book is ABC of Asthma,Allergies, and Lupus. When the body is dehydrated (low on water and salt) it has to use up amino acids to keep the body running. This also throws the body out of balance in the brain and in many important organs.
Please read these books and get Dr B's 8 tapes or CD's called Water: R/X for a Healthier Pain-Free Life you can call toll free 1-800-759-3999. http://www.watercure2.org/
