The Human Mind
Chemical Poisons May
Cause Mental Illness
Br ALTON L. BLAKESLEE
AP Sriean Readier
NEW YORK. March (
Chemical upset or poisons in the
brain could DC tne reason wny
human minds go seriously hay'
u ir-.
krut if rhMTiiul errors cause in
sanities, then chemicals could
someday be made to order to cure
or prevent them.
Startling mttiit discoveries
raise "the tantalizing thought that
mental illness could be caused py
- ihmirat nniuuiinff at the brain.
rather than being something we
worry and tret ourselves into,
lays Dr. Howard Fabing, Cincin
nati neuropsychiatrist.
More and mora psychiatrists
and scientists are excited about
prospects of discovering biological
causes of mental sickness, and
methods of curbing this tragic
modern plague.
A few reasons ...
Add a few drops of a colorless,
edorless chemical to a glass of
water. When humans with entirely
sane minds drink it, they soon
develop many signs of schizophre
nia, the most common form of
mental illness. Their minds clear
again when the drug wears off.
BLOOD VARIATIONS
Blood test are finding challeng
ing variations between the blood
of the mentally 01 and the sane.
Tranquilizing drugs show amaz
ing power to quiet and assist
many sick minds, though they do
- not cure. . -:,
Does mental illness differ from
all other diseases to which hu
mans are prey? All others are
caused by germs, viruses, injury,
chemical imbalances such as lack
of insulin in diabetes, hereditary
defects. Is the brain completely

The new research attack may
find organic cause of the puzzling
mental diseases of yet-unknown
origin, such as schizophrenia.
These clues concern severe ill
ness, not the minor emotional up
sets. .
At Tulane University, a bril
liant research team headed by
Dr. Robert Heath is finding sev
eral clues linking mental illness
with physical changes.
MYSTERY CHEMICAL
From the blood of schizophren
ics, they have obtained a mystery
chemical, named taraxein, appar
ently an enzyme. It's been injected
into at least 17 human volunteers.
Taraxein disorganized their
thinkintf impaired concentration.
The volunteers couldn't express a

the symptoms of schizophrenia.

produced taraxein, what does it
mean? research studies are con
tinuing.
TantaIizingr too, is the discov
ery of other blood differences by
SacHiih rhmixt Dr. Stiff Aker-
feldt, by the Heath team, and
others.
Using a simple six-minute blood
test. Dr. Akerfeldt finds most
schizophrenics, and some outer
mental patients, have an excess of
normal enxvme. ceruloolasmin.
But it is not a specific blood test
for schizophrenia not yet at
least because the excess en

sical diseases and in pregnancy.
The findings create hopes that
a blood test may be developed to
detect insanities, and even meas
ure the severity, and the rate of
recovery.
