Neomi,

You are so kind. Your uncle could be one of my patients. I work in a state hospital, but I'll tell you it's not much better treatment than prison. They're safer because the staff to patient ratio is much better, but they just push drugs there too, and they have access to too much junk food.

This post I did explains what causes schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It starts when they're children...

Please read "The Yeast Syndrome" by Dr. Towbridge. He explained 30 yrs ago how bad Sugar is for us and it's been silenced by the Sugar industry since then. Google candida, read about it in here and learn how much power the Sugar industry has in the world. They actually changed daylight savings time to sell more candy before halloween last year and we all know the influence of big pharma. I think we all have a huge class action law suit against big pharma and sugar.

Dr. Towbrigde explains in depth how candida causes mental illness (esp. bipolar and schizophrenia)and a myriad of diseases.

We all need to break out of the "sick care system" and keep our children and grandchildren out of doctors offices and the dead food stores. If your child has an infection get to the health food store and treat it naturally. Don't go to the doctor and get Antibiotics and a lollypop!

Throw out the TV or you're going to have the fight of your life keeping them away from sugar. I feel sorry for parents all over the world. Third world countries are now as sick as we are thanks to drugs and sugar. They were better off without us.

Good luck. Don't give up. Educate, educate, educate!

Schizophrenia
Much more mold toxin was seen in schizophrenic families
than in other kinds of illness. They usually had four or more kinds
of mold toxins at the same time, meaning that one toxin was not
detoxified before the next was already eaten. It may reflect on the
liver as much as the food selected. The initial injury, though, to
the liver may have occurred in early childhood.
Schizophrenia does not require mercury or other dental metal
pollution for its expression. This pattern is logical when it is
seen that young children can have schizophrenia. Schizophrenia
is an ancient illness, being described in some very old literature,
before dentistry existed. But parasites existed. And moldy food
existed. And copper existed!
Ergot is always seen in sick persons. Other mycotoxins are
also present, including sterigmatocystin, cytochalasin B, and
aflatoxin. As the mycotoxin panorama changes, brain symptoms
can change from compulsive hand washing to paranoia or from
hearing voices to meanness in disposition.

Hi Neomi,

I think you are on the right track, and I think your uncle is very lucky to have you. He is sick, not morally defective, the legal standard for the insanity defense allows people who are really ill to be held accountable for things that they do which are a product of thier mental illness. And, unfortunatly, it gets people off who are well aware of what they've done, and did it strictly for criminal reasons. Which sucks.

I got a fairly recent degree in Psychology, I wish I still had my text books so I could site some of this, but I don't.

Schitzophrenia occurs in 3% of the human population, accross nationalities, cultures, and it appears that historically the percentage was about the same. My father was a schitzophrenic, so I really paid attention.

Except in Ireland, where the rate is 5%. It's considered to be caused by an excess of dopamine in the brain, dopamine is a neurotransmitter which allows electrical activity between groups of neurons (this is simplified). If you put a schitzophrenic on a clean blood supply, his symptoms disappear.

I am still skeptical about Hulda Clark e- just me, I read a lot and I take a long time coming to conclusions. But Ireland lives on potatoes, if they are improperly prepared they get moldy really quickly. There could be a connection between mold, and schitzophrinia. My schizophrenic father would eat only certain foods, he was sure he was being poisoned, as he grew older and got sicker his diet got stranger and stranger, and unfortunaly it didn't help his mental condition at all. Having dealt with the parasite infection I've currently got, he wasn't as far off as I thought. He did have a lot of trouble figuring out if I was me or my clone, so I was pretty skeptical of the rest of his delusions.

No mercury problems, I got to explain to the dentist that he wanted to have the chips taken out of his teeth when I was about 17. He got rid of any suspcious dental work very early on. For a long time he would only eat deep sea caught Atlantic Cod. The guy was very healthy, trust me, but really baked mentally.

Typically, the disease begins in adolecence, a kid who is otherwise OK will suffer a break-down, exhibit symptoms of the disease, and just never get better. All of the psychoactive medicines are pretty new, they really cause major side effects, as far as I'm concerned they haven't been used long enough for anyone to tell if they are beneficial or not. I suspect looking back on the psychiatic practices done today from the future will seem like the 1900's- who treated schizophrenics with a frontal lobotomy.

It won't hurt him at all to get rid of parasites and candida, he is going to worry about something anyway, it might as well be parasites. If you get him going on parasites, maybe it will do some good.

There are some newer psychriatic medications that aren't as nasty as the older genertion of anti-psychotic drugs, they are called Atypical anti-psychotics, they do not cause the neurological problems that the older drugs cause. He might like those better than the ones get is getting now. Usually schitzophrenics hate their medicines becasue they get suspicious of what's in it, and find reasons to quit takeing the stuff, even when the drugs are working the way they should.

I'm very, very sorry that you have a family member with the disease, it's a terrible disease, and it's even sadder that your uncle is in jail, and not getting treatment.

read b12 the good kind taken by mouth is suppose to be good for mental.

in fact, studys say people walk out of insane ward after being treated with
B12.
B12 helps hearing too.
B12 helps energy three.
my 2 cents worth,

I think that mold (which release some of the most toxic substances known to us) and parasites can be at least part of the cause and perhaps a sole cause of schizophrenia in some people. But I wouldn't go as far as suggesting that all schizophrenia is always caused by parasites (or other microorganisms) only.

I have seen more then one case of one or both parents bringing up their child in such a way that there was no other possibility then for that child to become schizophrenic. I have a case like that in my family (not immediate) so I've seen it almost first hand. I've known that person since he was a kid, and now that he's in his 40s it seems too late for help; in addition he doesn't want to be helped.

Maybe when your uncle gets out of jail, you can have him do some parasite testing, but keep in mind that most labs will miss a lot of important parasites, so you have to choose a good lab (like Genova diagnostics for example, although I don't claim they are perfect) and repeat tests more then once. Also, even if one or two parasites or fungus are found, there could be more where those came from... so repeat tests anyway.

But I wouldn't stop there. In order to get better, he needs to be as far away from people who brought him up as possible. I will dare say that responsibility for schizophrenia is primarily with parents (say 75%) and the rest may be toxins (including drugs - both recreational and medical) and microorganisms. If after jail he goes back to his parents or those who don't love him, they will just reinforce what some people call a "life script". And in that life script, the rule number one for him is - "in order to survive I have to be like this".

I have also seen cases of schizophrenia improved drastically just through proper communication/interaction. There are psychologists out there (althought they are rare) who know all too well the powerful effect interactions, emotions and words have on everyone, especially schizophrenics. If you observe your uncle carefully, you will see that there are some thoughts and "rules" that he adheres to. Those were suggested to him by those who cared for him. Changing those patterns by communicating with him in such a way that releases him from that mental prison is the best thing. This takes a lot of skill and patience, and is best done by a professional. But in addition to that, all those surrounding him need to learn as much as possible about how to communicate to him so that he gets better.

There is a good example of importance of communication in the book "road less travelled" (although the author didn't invent the principle, it's still a good example), where a student says to his teacher that he won't be able to attend the next class because he has a basketball game. So the teacher asks him - "You can't come or you don't want to come?". And obviously, trying to avoid responsibility for his choices, the student responds that "he can't come". But that answer didn't work well, because he was perfectly capable of comming. After some discussion with the teacher, the student came to a conclusion that he "doesn't want to come" and wants to go to the game instead. The importance of that little example is that the student learned to take responsibility for his actions and to realize that he CAN make a choice; there's nothing wrong with prefering one thing over another. Similar to that, most people try to avoid taking responsibility and it shows in their semantics as well:
- "I can't come tomorrow because I must finish something." instaed of saying the truth: "I won't come tomorrow, because I have ..... that I want to do". Very similar, yet the first person is irresponsible and weak and the second one is very well aware of the extent of his/her powers.

It may seem stupid and unimportant, but the power of words is not to be underestimated. If we can hipnotize people by mere words, imagine what else can be done with words.

Seeing that people who suffer from schizophrenia are similar to people who are hypnotized is probably the best way of dealing with it. Just like some "Manchurian Candidate" can do damage at any moment, so can a schizophrenic. But, through love, patience and deep understanding of human interactions and communication, one can help them get better and I am certain - help them completely overcome the condition. But the person in question also needs to really want to get better. Without that, there is no way anyone can help.

I also remember watching a show on television where psychologists had the same idea that I have about schizophrenics, and they helped two brothers get better within only a few weeks. The problem was that when they returned to their home, their mom abused them the same way as before and they quickly regressed. Luckily the abuse was taped and the children were removed from that home never to see their sadistic mother again. Soon after they were normal again.

Although I know that this is a parasite forum and not psychology, I wanted to share what I have learned about the way our minds work. I have experienced it on myself (although not as schizophrenia) and we all can find proof in our own behaviour. For example I have a horribly strong Sugar craving from time to time. And indeed it is connected to parasites, but I can still make a choice and not eat anything sweet if I don't want to. It is far from easy, it makes me irritable, and it reduces the amount of energy I have, but at this point it is healthier for me. So it is possible to overcome our physical limitations due to parasites and so on or at least to be aware of them and still in some way be in control rather then be controlled by it. I know that my condition makes me sleepy and tired because my immune system is fighting 24/7, so I plan my day in such a way that I can be in bed by 10pm and I try to get at least 10 hours of sleep every night. Seems exsessive but it makes a big difference for me. And even then, I know that 10 hrs may not be enough so I plan on a nap time during the day.

So in conclusion I'd say that parasites, toxins, mold, you-name-it, they all affect us, but our state of mind is above that. I wouldn't be surprised that maybe those who suffer from schizophrenia and parasites at the same time, were first weakened by lack of love in the family and then developed all those symptoms as a result. Just like what Elisabeth Cubler-Ross answered when they asked her how come some babies that were in her care overcame aids even though they were born with the virus, she answered "We just smother them with love".

I don´t know much about schizofrenia but remember Jeff Sutherland said most people with schizofrenia has Borna virus as well in their brains. It was a virus that horses got that made them really ill and has been described in literature in humans as well. Found a link here about the horses.

Hi Neomi,

There is an organization for families of mentally ill persons, it might be helpful for you:

Here is the linc:
http://www.nami.org/


It's called the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill.

It is really hard to have a family member in the situation your uncle is in, again I am sorry. There are many ways of treating him, I just hope you find one that works.

Julie

Thanks everyone for your indiviual suggestions. I'm a soon to be License Vocational Nurse and I have an open wound for the word "schizophrenia". Just the other day my professor was discussing about the illness and I shed a few tears in back of the classroom. Nurses arent suppose to show emotion in terminal situations but even working with a schizophrenic patient can break my heart. I sometimes question is healthcare field the position for me. Well yes, my mother is a Director Of Nursing and Registered Nurse.

Sometimes it does get tough and I know my uncle would kill me if I dropped out of the program because of my afraid of shizophrenic people. (sigh)
I think in my head "Things will get better....."
