In my opinion, the majority of mental health problems may be attributed to sub-clinical malnutrition.
Too many dairy and refined wheat products on food bank shelves. Yet both dairy and wheat allergies are often the main cause of behavior problems among both children and adults.
Even a multivitamin pack per family would be a good addition there.
Additionally, energy drinks need to contain more nutritional ingredients rather than taurine and caffeine. Indeed, municipalities need to pass a bylaw restricting energy drinks and caffeinated beverages to people 16 and older. No child needs caffeine in their soda pop, nor do they need aspartame-laced diet cola.
Malnutrition also may contribute to criminal behavior.
According to a report by J Patrick, a definite relationship between a low-protein low-carbohydrate diet and aggression is suggested by studies involving Peruvian peasants, First Nations people, Canadian Inuit, and Australian Aborigines who suffer bodily illnesses associated with some mental dysfunction.
"Violent criminals seem to live principally on candy bars, cokes, coffee, and alcohol; this further aggravates their condition, as their blood sugar levels fluctuate daily. In addition, they may lack vitamin C, an outstanding anti-stress agent, and the nerve-relaxing B vitamins such as B-1 or B-3 (niacin)." — J. Patrick, Malnutrition and the Criminal State of Mind
Sub-clinical pellagra (B-3 vitamin deficiency) or allergy of the brain may be seen as two possible causes of headaches and dizziness. Furthermore, criminals in prison prefer junk-food over a healthy diet.
While the report by Patrick is useful to support the suggestion of providing better nutrition to people living in poverty, there is need for improved nutrition provided to prisons.
Although the sentiment exists that prisoners should not be allowed the luxuries of freedom, the nutritional content of food prepared for such institutions is lacking in providing adequate vitamin C and niacin.
I am thankful that food banks have been established in almost all cities with a significant number of people in poverty.
In order to reduce criminal behavior, we would need to view prisons in a different light. Prisoners are human beings with the same rights as everyone else, save that their criminal behavior have placed them in an institution where adequate nutrition is not always the priority.

Proper Nutrition Prevents AIDS
Here's the un-cut footage of the conversation with Luc Montagnier which Brent Leung took as part of the interview for his film House of Numbers.
Reference: http://www.naturalnews.com/027631_AIDS_House_of_Numbers.html
Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQoNW7lOnT4
In the above video, Dr Luc Montagnier makes the following points about a person's health and AIDS:
• You can be exposed to AIDS without getting infected.
• A strong immune system can protect you against AIDS.
• With the help of good nutrition, you can fight off AIDS.
• The importance of AIDS vaccines is exaggerated.
• AIDS can be approached with low-cost, highly-effective alternatives to vaccines.
• What the African people really need is better nutrition to protect themselves from AIDS.
• The facts about nutrition and AIDS are being neglected (by the medical establishment).
This film only confirms to me that Africa needs better nutrition and access to clean water to build the strong immune system to protect a person against AIDS.
IMHO a well nourished mind and body is able to live a healthy life, and the person who owns it will not engage in risky sexual behavior.

It's easy just to mark and copy the link, then past it into the URL entry window which begins with http.
If any reader does not know how to do this, then ask your local system administrator, computer guru etc. for help.
Update:
There is also a hypothesis that runs counter to the argument that only the AIDS virus causes the disease.
In that hypothesis, the AIDS virus is the market. AIDS is actually the result of low immunity (immune compromised).
As well, that compromised immunity causes Human Endogenous Retrovirii (HERV) to be created from human DNA in a fashion similar to neurotransmitter receptors which grow in response to neurotransmitter levels fluctuating in response to stimuli (stress, emotional response, etc).
Immunity can be compromised by insomnia, anxiety, depression, mania and psychoses, due to increased cortisol levels.
Cortisol also leads to metabolic syndrome due to insulin tolerance, both of which affect the immune system.
Again, I urge those gentle readers who want to connect the dots may use Google to research "HERV Human endegenous Retrovirus".

Are Vaccines Modern Medical Quackery?
Please note I am reposting this quote from the source, because the author reflects my own sentiments. It's not my work, but is by Mike Adams of Natural News:
Even today, most doctors in both the U.S. and U.K. insist there is no link between the 1976 vaccine and GBS. They say there's "no convincing evidence" that the vaccine caused GBS. It's the same story with vaccines and autism. Instead of examining the real reasons why autism's rise almost perfectly mirrors the rise in childhood vaccinations, doctors simply dismiss any such link outright, without consideration.
Vaccines are the bedrock of the pharmaceutical industry's profit centers. Through vaccines, the drug companies can ensure generations of future profits from diseases that are promoted or worsened by vaccines: Alzheimer's, cancer, Parkinson's disease, and so on. They can also, importantly, prevent people from taking responsibility for their own immune system health.
The vaccine approach to disease prevention implies that health cannot be experienced from within and must be achieved solely through intervention that just happens to involve paying money to drug companies. It is in this way that the real harm of vaccinations isn't limited merely to those people who are paralyzed or killed by the vaccines... it also includes all those people who have been taught to delegate their immune system function to a corporation pushing dangerous chemicals for profit.
To question vaccines is to question the very foundation of western medicine, which paints people as victims requiring heroic intervention with synthetic chemicals (but only the ones that have been patented). The real harm in this medical philosophy is not merely all those people who are harmed or killed by the vaccines themselves, but in how many people are dis-empowered and taught to abandon any hope that their own bodies might be able to attain health through innate physiological wisdom.
In this way, the pharmaceutical industry has taught people to betray who they really are. They have convinced people that they are inferior biological beings who can only arise to greatness through chemical intervention. It is all a myth, of course, carefully weaved into the minds of the unaware through layer upon layer of cleverly crafted propaganda.
Its aim is to leave you nutritionally ignorant, victimized and helplessly addicted to a never-ending stream of chemical interventions justified by the invention of (mostly) fictitious diseases. That is the state of western medicine today.
Healthy people need no swine flu vaccine, nor seasonal flu shots. Ten years ago (or so), when I stopped getting flu shots and stopped allowing junk foods and pharmaceuticals into my body, my colds virtually ceased. For me today, getting sick is an ancient memory. Although I've experienced mild symptoms from time to time (usually after being in an immune-compromised state such as working too hard at a trade show), they're nothing that can't be cured by an hour of sunshine, a cup of ginger tea and a good night's rest. I haven't been floored by a cold or flu for longer than I can remember.
Swine flu is easily overcome through natural health. H1N1 is no match for a healthy, adaptable immune system that's largely free from toxic chemicals and is boosted with the intake of superfoods, herbal remedies and quality nutritional supplements.

Undernutrition Kills Kids Yearly
Reference: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080117/hl_afp/healthchildrennutrition_080117211620
Now I have been vindicated when earlier I mentioned the main problem of the post-modern diet is the risk of sub-clinical malnutrition. What is under-nutrition but malnutrition?
According to French researchers, under-nutrition "is to blame for 3.5 million deaths among children aged under five each year, but most of the fatalities occur in 20 countries, where targeted aid programmes could swiftly address the problem."
This is the world-wide malnutrition problem caused by lack of food, but you can still go on to claim that sub-clinical malnutrition is common in developed countries where children do not go to bed hungry, but get nutrient-poor food daily like carbonated beverages, processed meat, and factory meats which are heavily loaded with chemicals designed to ensure product makes it to your dinner table.
While I am not saying more people should go out hunting, I am saying that shopping in a grocery store is not the same as growing your own vegetables, raising your own chicken and hunting & fishing for part of your food intake.
IMHO hunting and fishing licenses are not done to conserve limited game resources, but to ensure rich hunting & fishing "hobbyists" can afford to get a trophy. The waste of game resources is one travesty of such sport, and such hobbyists should be forced to take lessons on the processing of their game into meat as part of the hunting & fishing licensing process. While I am sure fish suffer as much being hooked and clubbed to death, I am not convinced barb-less hooks and the current practise of catch-and-release is any less traumatic for the fish. However, sports hunters and fishers should limit their hunting and fishing to what they can eat.
Getting back to those kids in developing countries, the main reason they are starving is due to foreign aid not getting to them. In most cases, the privileged few in a given nation are hoarding food supplies stolen from the foreign aid agencies through fraud. A leader of a corrupt nation could easily force an army of "homeless and starving" native to grab what they get and cache it at a specific site. If that army is bigger and stronger than the actual homeless and starving people, then the foreign aid agency can only stand back and watch.
No one knows if 750 out of 1000 people are aligned with the corrupt leader and hoarding while the other 250 get barely enough to last them a day, a week, or a month.
So what actually kills kids in undeveloped countries is not actually under-nutrition but social Darwinism. However, penalizing the corrupt leaders will not help the kids. Only Bill Gates and Frank Giustra can do that, because it is so cheap to feed and care for children in developing nations.
This post marks my second one where a reference URL is not converted to a working link. This is a good "feature" of my limited interface in the Blogger editor due to it detecting Konqueror. In fact it detects Konqueror and is not fooled by the spoofing Konqueror provides.

Cancer is Another Form of Autoimmune Disease
Stress + subclinical malnutrition, including Omega-6 > Omega-3 imbalance = autoimmune diseases (including cancer)
Cancer is an autoimmune disease. Reasoning: the same medications used to treat cancers are also used to treat autoimmune diseases. This includes artificial cortisol, anti-metabolites, immuno-suppressives, and antibiotics.
Possibly some forms of mental illness are side effects of autoimmune disease (including cancer) such as depression and diabetes-related schizophrenia. In the case of diabetes, the autoimmune disease (cancer) attacks the pancreas.
However artificial cortisol causes both pain and weight gain. Both anti-metabolites and immuno-suppressives may stop the immune system from working, causing infections (pneunomia and TB). Antibiotics can cause bacteria to mutate into virulent forms.
Stress + Omega 6 = Omega-3, optimal nutrition, rest & exercise = health
Health is lack of autoimmune disease e.g. a healthy immune system. It is due to optimal nutrition in the diet which consists of an equal balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids, optimal vitamins and minerals. Also included are optimal doses of tyrosine (helps produce dopamine, adrenalin and noradrenalin), 5HTP (helps produce serotonin), valeric acid (used to make GABA), and choline (used to make acetylcholine).

Meditation, optimal nutrition and its effect on mental health
It may be possible to create neuropeptides which result in a positive self esteem using meditation and visualization.
Thus, the pharmaceutical approach to control of mental illness is defective since it treats the problem and not the underlying cause.
Getting well may be as easy as a multivitamin pill, salmon oil capsules and a low beef diet consisting of occasional consumption of chicken and seafish, coupled with meditation and visualization.
It may even begin with such chants as the following:
Om mani payme hum - the Avalokiteshvara mantra
Om tare tutare ture svaha - the Tara mantra
