What he pays less attention to, is the extent to which temperament is downstream of bio-chemistry. I.e. the extent to which mineral imbalances (often congenitally acquired) affect our personalities and temperamental experience in the world.

For example, individuals with chronic zinc deficiency (and associated copper toxicity) tend to be much more likely to experience mood/anxiety related conditions.

The mainstream science is slowly beginning to figure this out. e.g. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23946656/

If a temperamentally fearful person does not feel at peace in the world, it is more than reasonable to expect this to be acted out, in a political context, by a desire to vote for ‘change’.

Conversely, if a person is temperamentally calm, and more at ease in the world, iit is also logical to suggest that their political leanings are likely to align with conserving the current state of things.

While this sort of thinking might seem unusual to some, the extent to which metals and minerals affect our health was once well understood by mainstream science.

An excellent medical textbook on the subject is titled ‘The Clinical Significance of the Essential Biological Metals’. It was first published in 1972 and I highly recommend it to anyone persueing greater understanding of subject.

Frankly, that modern Pharma has ignored this information, in favour of selling drugs that aim only to suppress symptoms, is a crime.

About the book

The Clinical Significance of the Essential Biological Metals covers the six trace minerals necessary for human survival,namely zinc, copper, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, and cobalt. This book contains seven chapters that specifically discuss the effects of these minerals for enzyme function, protein synthesis, and their nutritional significance in veterinary and agricultural practice. Some of the topics covered in the book are the importance of interactions between the essential biological metals; importance of fertilizers; analysis of water supply, soil mineral content, and cancer mortality; influence of drinking water on atherosclerosis; non-essential but biologically important metals; and absorption and availability of zinc. Other chapters deal with the factors influencing absorption of zinc, the effects of copper on zinc availability, and the form and absorption of copper in the diet. A chapter is devoted to the role of lymphatics in copper absorption. Another chapter focuses on the distribution, absorption, and transport of manganese in the blood. The book can provide useful information to doctors, biochemists, nutritionists, students, and researchers.
