Genetically driven crimes in America, an explanation for deaths by

guns, clubs, hatchets and billy clubs.


The degree to which heavy metals are absorbed, retained and taken up into the nervous system is a vector in criminal/violent behavior and type A personalities. This loading of heavy metals is genetically driven. A protein that is malformed allows for the buildup of toxic metals in the body which can and does result in abberent behavior. Nutritionally treating this condition helps considerably. Hiding it with drugs affords little real help in the long run.

This study investigated the effects of zinc and copper on the behavior of schizophrenic patients by comparing blood zinc and copper levels in criminal and noncriminal schizophrenic patients. Of the total 88 subjects, 44 were patients with schizophrenia and no criminal record who were being treated at the Elazig Mental Hospital and 44 were schizophrenic patients who had committed a crime and were sent to the same hospital upon a court order for monitoring, detention, and treatment. Of the subjects with criminal records, 31 (70%) had committed a violent crime and 13 (30%) had committed a nonviolent crime. The mean plasma zinc value was 68 +/- 1.55 microg/dL in the criminal subjects and 81 +/- 2.73 microg/dL in the noncriminal subjects ( p = .001). The mean serum copper value was 104 +/- 1.80 microg/dL in criminal subjects and 93 +/- 2.92 microg/dL in noncriminal subjects (p = .02). Mean plasma zinc values were significantly lower in criminal subjects when compared to noncriminal subjects, while mean serum copper values were significantly higher in criminal subjects than noncriminal subjects.

1. are you saying Dubya shouldnt have eaten those paint chips as a child.??

2. I always figured all the mercury and lead in the environment

air, land and water contributed...but this is pointing to zinc and copper....I wonder if copper pipes (plumbing)contributes?

3. I had read that this same genetic disposition could explain why some kids

end up autistic from the same Mercury exposure that does not affect others.
The higher rate of autism among boys is explained by their lower ability to get rid of the excess mercury that may accumulate in their systems.
It is related to the amount of a specific amino acid or enzyme or neurotransmitter, I believe.
I will see if I can find the information about this.


EDIT: The substance that I read about was glutathione.
It seems that the level of this in a child's system is genetically determined. Lower levels of glutathione, which appear to occur more in boys than girls seems to be what makes them more susceptible to autism.

There is, of course, a "tipping point" beyond which even glutathione cannot help. With all the toxic exposures in the environment these days this tipping point seems to be reached more often than in the past, which may account for the rising rates of Autism.

CONTEXT: Numerous studies conducted in juvenile correctional institutions have reported that violence and serious antisocial behavior have been cut almost in half after implementing nutrient-dense diets that are consistent with the World Health Organization's guidelines for fats, sugar, starches, and protein ratios. Two controlled trials tested whether the cause of the behavioral improvements was psychological or biological in nature by comparing the behavior of offenders who either received placebos or vitamin-mineral supplements designed to provide the micronutrient equivalent of a well-balanced diet. These randomized trials reported that institutionalized offenders, aged 13 to 17 years or 18 to 26 years, when given active tablets produced about 40% less violent and other antisocial behavior than the placebo controls. However, generalization could not be made to typical schoolchildren without a controlled trial examining violence and antisocial behavior in public schools. OBJECTIVES: To determine if schoolchildren, aged 6 to 12 years, who are given low dose vitamin-mineral tablets will produce significantly less violence and antisocial behavior in school than classmates who are given placebos. DESIGN: A stratified randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with pretest and post-test measures of antisocial behavior on school property. SETTINGS AND SUBJECTS: Two "working class," primarily Hispanic elementary schools in Phoenix, Arizona. Approximately half of the potential schoolchildren participated, i.e., 468 students aged 6 to 12 years. INTERVENTION: Daily vitamin-mineral supplementation at 50% of the U.S. recommended daily allowance (RDA) for 4 months versus placebo. The supplement was designed to raise vitamin-mineral intake up to the levels currently recommended by the National Academy of Sciences for children aged 6 to 11 years. OUTCOME MEASURE: Violent and nonviolent delinquency as measured by official school disciplinary records. RESULTS: Of the 468 students randomly assigned to active or placebo tablets, the 80 who were disciplined at least once between September 1st and May 1st served as the research sample. During intervention, the 40 children who received active tablets were disciplined, on average, 1 time each, a 47% lower mean rate of antisocial behavior than the 1.875 times each for the 40 children who received placebos (95% confidence interval, 29% to 65%, < 5 .020). The children who took active tablets produced lower rates of antisocial behavior in 8 types of recorded infractions: threats/fighting, vandalism, being disrespectful, disorderly conduct, defiance, obscenities, refusal to work or serve, endangering others, and nonspecified offenses. CONCLUSION: Poor nutritional habits in children that lead to low concentrations of water-soluble vitamins in blood, impair brain function and subsequently cause violence and other serious antisocial behavior. Correction of nutrient intake, either through a well-balanced diet or low-dose vitamin-mineral supplementation, corrects the low concentrations of vitamins in blood, improves brain function and subsequently lowers institutional violence and antisocial behavior by almost half. This paper adds to the literature by enabling previous research to be generalized from older incarcerated subjects with a history of antisocial behavior to a normal population of younger children in an educational setting.
