Zinc's role in the brain

Not Zinc alone. Zinc, B6, B12 and Magnesium are essential for proper brain functioning. (Probably much more)

These ingredients help some people with dementia. They also help some older (hee hee) citizens with slow recall. As I call it my “random access” memory.

Hey, I’m not anti-money.

Then you set a sterling example.

Do you know of any peer reviewed articles except these two: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=Pyroluria

Aluminium is, we like virtual reality because the screen can’t sneak up from behind.

Most interesting. And so many people are deficient!

"Do you know of any peer reviewed articles...?"

No, I don't think it gets a lot of research, probably because the simplicity of the treatment misleads people to believe it "isn't worthy" of a lot of research. Look up Dr. Abram Hoffer, as well as Joan Matthews Lawrence, who has a clinic in Minnesota that specializes in brain-chemistry disorders. The "simple" treatment has been a Godsend for me.

You might be right about the reason for the lack of studies.

I’m not so sure about the description at the kryptopyrrole-site, but it is a fact that low levels of Zn and B6 is bad for the brain (and other parts of the body)

You might find some interesting articles at http://www.crimetimes.org/issues.htm#new about chemistry and the brain.

Thanks AdmSmith.
