SCHIZOPHRENIA

Schizophrenia is a growing phenomenon and a major mental illness today. It is characterized by hallucinations, delusions, low affect and perhaps other symptoms. It is a level 3 or tuning disorder. This basically means that the brain does not tune properly to this dimension, and instead tunes into other dimensions. The concept of tuning disorders is explained fully in the book Nutritional Balancing and Hair Mineral Analysis (2010 edition).

CAUSES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

Among the most common causes, in our experience, are a high copper level and perhaps a high mercury level. Other toxic metals may play a role. Toxic metals such as cadmium, lead and others may interfere with zinc, for example, contributing to schizophrenic symptoms.

Another cause is Yin Disease. This is an excessive amount of yin energy in the body, usually due to a diet that is excessive in sugars, others sweets, raw food, drugs, perhaps and other more yin substances. Copper is also a yin substance.

NUTRITIONAL BALANCING AND SCHIZOPHRENIA

So far, in a limited number of cases, I have had excellent results in cases of schizophrenia. Unlike the orthomolecular and some other approaches, nutritional balancing may be a slower corrective method that focuses on rebalancing body chemistry gently, slowly removing all the toxic metals and many toxic chemicals as well. This approach is less symptomatic, so it may not be as effective, short-term. However, unlike the orthomolecular approach, nutritional balancing is more of a long-term, permanent corrective method that does not require that the patient remain on nutritional supplements for an extended period of time.
