#14 . . . :

I empathize with you. My 29 year old daughter is a paranoid schizophrenic. It's heart wrenching. I'll say this with the utmost empathy for you . . . You can best help her by ENCOURAGING her to reach out and help herself.

The problem with schizophrenics is that they suspect everything and everyone is out harm them emotionally, sometimes physically. My own daughter won't let me help her and I'm a professional herbologist.

There's another principle that enters into your situation, too. That being . . . what I tell many people, "You're the well-meaning third party." Rarely, if ever, does it work out that your efforts actually produce results UNTIL the individual themselves reach out for help. You can't do that for them.

Encourage her.

Hi,

There's a place in Minn that works with all types of mental problems without resorting to prescription drugs. Here's the website:

I wish you the best.

A

have her start smoking home rolled cigarettes. the nicotene inactivates fungal infections at the brainstem.

There are a couple of resources:

1/ Canadian Schizophrenic Asso or Foundation

2/ Dr. Pfeiffer's research (Brain Bio Center)

Toxic metals can be a big problem for these people, and research has found that copper, only when toxic can trigger this as well as other toxic minerals. Testing with Trace Elements Inc would be a good start.

My suspicion is that the onset was precipitated by stress in which magnesium plays a key role in nervous system health and its loss is profound in stressful events.

I would have her vitamin D3 levels checked (serum) and see if they are low - vitamin d is implicated in neurological conditions and most people are low. http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/news-archive/2009/vitamin-d-and-schizophrenia/



Vitamin D also plays a key role in both calcium and magnesium levels. Again, Magnesium is probably low due to her stressful events and Americans never get it in diet (at least most do not) - low levels of magnesium will alter the nervous system and stress levels. Look for a high quality supplement like UltraMag from Source Naturals http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2077436
