"The Russians have had some interesting succes in treating schizophrenia with fasting and low-protein vegetarian diets. Although they have made a clear connection between high-animal-protein diet and certain types of schizophrenia, the exact cause are not clear. One part of the brain dysfunction may be related to B3,B6, and magnesium deficiencies created by a high-meat-protein diet. A high-animal-protein diet includes twenty times more phosphorous than calcium, which depletes calcium in the system, resulting in osteoporosis and tooth decalcification. The cited data strongly suggests that most people eat too much protein, and that excess protein, especially if it is meat protein, is detrimental to our health."
