Eureka! - Calcium can cause Depression

Found the article (linked below) on the net about how calcium supplementation can lead to serious psychological problems. Bingo!!

Here is an extract:

"An example is a patient who had just celebrated her fortieth birthday and had read in her local newspaper about the dangers of osteoporosis attacking women her age. Consequently, she began to self-medicate with calcium supplements. Soon thereafter she became depressed Months later she was engulfed in waves of depression, coupled with fits of anger and crying spells for no apparent reason, and even became suicidal. After attending a lecture by the doctor, she put two and two together and realized that her problem began after starting the calcium supplements. She consulted with Dr. Malter, who advised that she obtain a TMA (Tissue Hair Analysis) In the meantime he suggested that she discontinue calcium supplementation. Within a very short time the anxiety attacks disappeared, the Depression lifted and her mental health returned. It should be noted that the TMA confirmed that this patient should not have been taking calcium supplements at that time."

What led me to this hypothesis was that I have been reading the books of Dr Russell Blaylock (which I thoroughly recommend). Being a neuroscientist he gives a remarkable insight into the chemical workings of the brain. As a result I was aware of the powerful role calcium (as well as glutamine) plays in all brain function. Never did I imagine that knowledge would be so useful to me ... remarkable.
