LSD, Caffeine and Cholera: Possible Causes of Schizophrenia

Abstract

Paul TE Cusack

Schizophrenia (Sz) hospitalization is on the rise for young men. There is a link between caffeine and calcium absorption. Calcium is necessary for a healthy nervous system. In this brief paper, I show that the cause of Sz increase among young men may be because of the dramatic increase of caffeine intake (Coffee) among that group. In addition, use of hallucinogens (LSD) among young men may be the sole explanation for the rise in Sz among that group. We also examine the connection between cholera and Schizophrenia. In this paper, we suggest possible causes of Sz that may warrant closer examination by researchers.
