Just found this by Dr Christopher here

Question 7:

^{_{Can a natural treatment for schizophrenia be suggested?}} A celiac disease and prostatitis often accompany schizophrenia as well. Are these conditions also amenable to holistic treatment?


Answer 7:

Schizophrenia (Gr. a division of mind and heart) is Bleuler's term for dementia praecox or fissuration of the mental function. Celiac diseases pertain to the are of the abdomen.

In children this disease is often characterized by diarrhea and/or spruce, a chronic disease marked by sore throat, a raw looking tongue, gastrointestinal catarrh with periodic diarrhea in which the stools are frothy, fatty (steatorrhea) and fetid.

The third condition, prostatitis, is an inflammation of the prostrate gland.In working with the brain, motor nerves and nervous system which are the areas most involved with the above listed malfunction, we suggest an aiding and rebuilding of the motor nerve area at the base of the skull.

We may begin by using the oil and tincture routine explained in the Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet (by Dr. John R. Christopher, P.O. Box 352, Provo, Utah 84601).

Insert into each ear four to six drops of oil of garlic and four to six drops of a special nerve tincture-consisting of equal parts of blue vervain, blue cohosh, black cohosh, scullcap and lobelia (note from knowledge seeker this is the b and b tincture above in 2nd post of thread) made into a tincture with an alcohol base.

After inserting the oil and the nerve tincture described above plug the ears with cotton and leave the preparation in place overnight. Repeat this procedure for six nights out of seven.

Also massage the nerve tincture externally along the base of the skull over the medulla area and down the first three or four cervical vertebrae.(note from knowledge seeker--this is the 9 herb nerve formula above in 2nd post of this thread)

The next step is an application of the comfrey combination described in the answer to question number one of this issue of the Newsletter. (I am putting question one in its entirety with the formula at the end of this post below but says it is the bone flesh and cartilage formula which I gave formula for in the 2nd post of this thread).

Use a cotton or flannel cap which covers the top of the head. Attach to the cap a four to six inch wide flannel strip long enough to reach the end of the tailbone. Soak the head piece and strip in the comfrey combination tea (bone, flesh and cartilage) and apply the fomentation to the patient.

Cover the saturated flannel head piece with a swimming cap and the strip of flannel down the spine with a wide piece of plastic. A sweatshirt and trunks, or girdle, etc., may be employed to hold this arrangement in place overnight. Again this procedure should be repeated six nights out of seven each week until the results prove satisfactory.

In addition a cup of nerve combination tea (9 herb nerve formula) should be consumed three times or more per day. This will feed and aid in rebuilding the nervous system. The tea is a combination of equal parts black cohosh root (Cimicifuga racemosa), cayenne (Capsicum minimum), hops flowers (Humulus Lupulus), lady's slipper root (Cypripedium pubescens), lobelia (Lobelia inflata), scullcap herb (Scutellaria lateriflora), valerian root (Valerian officinalis), wood betony herb (Stachys betonica) and mistletoe (Viscum album).

In making up this infusion, it is best to use one teaspoon of the combined herbs per cup of boiling water. Keeping it covered, steep the tea for twenty minutes and then let it cool until drinkable. If you prefer, you may make the tea by using one ounce of the tea per pint of water.

For the diarrhea condition which is commonly encountered along with schizophrenia, we recommend a tea of three parts slippery elm bark, three parts comfrey root, three parts of oak bark and one part lobelia.

Drink one half cup of the tea each one half hour until the diarrhea is under control. At that point, reduce the amount of tea to one half cup three times a day for six days or more.

With each cup of tea take at least three of our capsulated prostrate combination or as many as are needed. This combination is made of equal parts of ginger, golden seal, capsicum, gravel root, juniper berries, marshmallow root, parsley root and uva ursi leaves. Use the herbs in powdered form and mix them thoroughly before filling capsules.(I personally suggest making a tincture instead of capsules as it is much more absorbable in that form)

The results of this program are speeded up when used in conjunction with the Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet.

(comfrey formula referenced above in question one)


Question 1: What could be done in a case where cervical arthritis is present, where X-rays show a narrowing of the interspace between C-5, C-6 and C-7, and where anterior and posterior spurs, heading for spondylosis, are present? Is there any way whereby the calcium deposits can be removed, extracted or eliminated to free the body from its painful burden?

Answer 1: We have seen numerous cases of the condition described in this question in most areas of the spine all the way from the Atlas Axis down to the tail base. After beginning the therapy with cleaning and mucusless dieting, they followed this procedure: make a fomentation of a tea combination which we call "Bone, flesh and cartilage." It is also called "comfrey combination", and consists of six parts oak bark, three parts marshmallow root, three parts mullein herb, two parts wormwood, one part lobelia, one part scullcap, six parts comfrey root, three parts black walnut bark or leaves and three parts gravel root. Soak the combined teas in distilled water at a rate of one pint of distilled water to one ounce of combined herbs. Continue the soaking from four to six hours and then simmer the preparation for thirty minutes followed by a straining. After the straining, simmer the tea down to one half of its volume. If desired, a volume of natural vegetable glycerine equivalent to one fourth the volume of the tea may then be added. For example, if there is a gallon of the tea after the straining, simmer it down to two quarts and add one pint of the vegetable glycerine.Soak some flannel, cotton or other material except for synthetics which should never be used and wrap the soaked cloth fomentations around the malfunctioning area and then cover with plastic, oil paper or oiled silk. In turn cover the area with toweling and leave on all night. Repeat this for six nights a week until relief is accomplished and the calcified deposits disappear. Also, drink 1/4 cup of the finished tea, with or without theglycerine, but diluted with 3/4 cup of distilled water. This should be done three times a day for six days of each week until relief occurs.
