John/Natural methods for psychiatry

May 13, 2003

Tyrie,

Was it Allergies: Disease in Disguise by Carolee Bateson-Koch? That book

is an amazing read and I highly recommend it to anyone who has any sort of

illness for which they are unable to find a cause. She has a whole section

on brain allergies and the fact that a lot of psychiatric disorders are as

a result of food allergies. Incredible.

John,

Although I have also not pursued (not needed! any

alternative treatments in place of the psychotropic medications,

I have stumbled across a couple things over the years. Maybe

one of these would be helpful.

The first is Developmental Movement Therapy. I started this

last fall due to a head injury 5 1/2 years ago. When I met the

therapist and asked how she became interested, I learned that

the therapy was useful not only for head injuries, but also for

all learning disabilities and removing all "symptoms commonly

designated as the various psychiatric or mental illnesses."

See, they can't -say- they heal people of those things...

The therapist's son had had dyslexia, ADD, and bi-polar. After

completing the therapy, all gone! I have been amazed at the

results I began seeing 4-5 months into the program. It is a

very physical program, the exercises are quite a work-out. Let

me know if you want more information.

The second possibility I stumbled across was in a book on food

allergies. This doctor had seen an amazing range of symptoms as

a result of allergies, including the full range of psychiatric

problems, so he recommended a complete explorations of

food-elimination to see if the symptoms went away. I forget the

book off-hand, but I could find it if needed.

I've been researching the "food allergy" avenue,

because of my own condition. Any information would be

greatly appreciated. I told my friend to stop the

dairy products and the glutens, but feel that I am too

ignorant at this point to suggest anything further.

According to Food your miracle medicine by Jean Carpet some people have an allergy to caffeine that only shows up mentally. These have even found out some people who were in hospitals with schizophrenia were cured taking away caffeine, I kid you not. Of course it's not this simple with most of people with schizophrenia but just an example.High anxiety and other problems can also be an reaction. You may want to discontinue caffeine completely for one month and see if any symptoms are helped
