Megadoses of salt - cute :-)
I have not researched the effects of nutrients
on psychiatry - i know that certain vitamin deficiences can cause mental illness. But there is a difference between a vitamin deficiency and a vitamin overdose - which in the case of lipophilic ones can be harmful and water-soluble, just something you void out without any benefit.There is a PDR on foods and of course it is a huge field. Regarding lithium, there was a time when it was banned by the FDA because in its state then and dose, caused heart attacks as many salts will do. So, the patent argument is part of the evil pharmaceutical company political armamentareum i think. Drug company profits are so huge, that one patentless drug is probably a tiny micromolecule in the bucket.
