He spams this nonsense all over the net. He thinks "lead deficiency" causes schizophrenia, among other nonsense.

He denies the above is him, but makes all the same characteristically batshit claims: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39088089

For what claims? It is well documented to get metabolized, and used in the biochemistry of life. Its toxicity is a chimera of nebulous everchanging symptoms and unknown toxic doses.

Copper is the weirdest one, as its essentiality is widely accepted, autopsies show its reduced concentrations in dementia, yet it's regulated as a toxic metal anyway.

The cause of this deception is a mystery to me.
