Re: whats the CAUSE of schizophrenia?

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.
