Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Could you have a alternate solution for mental health problem which is also known as body deformation syndrome in which the patient feels that a part of his body is deformed and can be rectified by surgery ,where as he is perfectly fine which results in serious mental tension & depression . The only solution suggested by doctors is to have psychatric drugs/counselling . Any solution in alternate medicines/methods?

I don't have such a solution. As such, I volunteer to help those who suffer. In consideration of the position that CAM can have the effect supposed, will it also solve schizophrenia?

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 there was programe on tv a few nights ago in reguards to this problem-i am in nsw of australia-they use to believe that this was a physiatric problem till recent studies of such people proved that one part of their brain does not function -i can't remember which part but it is approximately rear going close to the top on the left-but i may be out somewhat as the programme was a short one and only computer diagram flashed on to show approximate area---so this is no longer regarded as mental health problem but a neurological one-do more research into it then find some herbs and foods that may aid in stimulation of these areas-it is a new discovery and some furthur research is necessary however these patients need some help as they usually try to self amputate- with some dire consequences. ________________________________ Shyam Chandel <chandel_shyam mdesoi <mdesoi; Friday, 22 May, 2009 11:11:21 PM Getting off psychiatric drugs- Body defomation syndrome Could you have a alternate solution for mental health problem which is also known as body deformation syndrome in which the patient feels that a part of his body is deformed and can be rectified by surgery ,where as he is perfectly fine which results in serious mental tension & depression .

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 The first thing I want to say is that if dis-functioning parts of the brain are involved, Transcendental Meditation is the perfect solution. It has been well publicised that what scientists call 'holes in the head' occur in many ordinary people, who show no symptoms whatsoever. These holes in the head are areas which are effectively 'dead'. Infact I think the majority of people have these disfunctioning areas. But the practice of Transcendental Meditation, which anyone can do, because it is a simple, effortless technique which doesn't take a long time to practice, brings about a state of holistic brain functioning; and the integration and wholeness increases over time. The second thing is that 80% of acute schizophrenics can be totally cured and returned to the work-place by nutritional intervention. This isn't just good food, but sophisticated mineral etc intervention to make up for a genetic predisposition. I have copied the information below; but first I want to say my third point. I am very much wanting to get this information across, but nobody seems to want to know, except the already-converted. The public isn't interested, and psychiatrists just want to carry on as they are. I believe the only way that change can come is by political will, and I am willing to march carrying a placard, but I think I will have to start alone. The first law I would change is to make it impossible to become a psychiatrist unless you have studied psychology for at least three years. Astonishingly, psychiatrists are just doctors who have done a post-grad in how to control the symptoms of mental illness using drugs. They have not gone through a psychology course, and they know nothing about psychotherapy or counselling or any other technique for dealing with emotional or mental trauma. There are two very good websites which talk about the contemporary scene, and the second one talks about therapies to cure schizophrenia. Do a search for Eleanor Longden and you will read her horrific story (with a happy ending). http://wellbeingfou ndation.com/ interviews_ pg1.html www.rufusmay.com Here is the information about nutritional treatment of schizophrenia: Patrick Holford reports: " According to Dr Abram Hoffer, former Director of Psychiatric Research for part of Canada, tranquillisers never cure mental illness because they merely replace one psychosis with another. After 40 years' experience as a psychiatrist he recommends them only as a last, and temporary, resort. Instead he favours nutritional intervention which, he says, cures 80% of acute schizophrenia, a claim backed up by his own and independent double-blind controlled studies. His definition of 'cure' is threefold: free from symptoms, able to socialise with family and community, and paying income tax! The latter, meaning gainful employment, is a rare event for people on tranquillisers " . Hoffer, A. & Osmond, H., 'Treatment of schizophrenia with Nicotinic Acid,' Acta. Psych. Scand., vol 40, 171-189, (1964) Hoffer, A., Chronic Schizophrenia Patients Treated Ten Years or More,' J. Orthomol. Med., vol 9:1, p1-37, (1994) He continues: " Some people produce excessive amounts of kryptopyrroles, which can be detected in the urine. The formation of this biochemical robs the body of zinc and vitamin B6, effectively creating a deficiency and need far in excess of what is generally considered necessary for optimum health. This condition, known as pyroluria, is found in about 10% of the general population and about 50% of those with mental illness. A period of stress, which depletes zinc, can tip a person with this biochemical tendency over the edge. The result may well be symptoms such as depression, confusion, disturbed thinking and social withdrawal. " Pyroluria is easily detected with a simple urine test currently costing only £11, and corrected by improved nutrition together with supplements of zinc and vitamin B6. Since zinc competes with manganese, this element is usually supplemented as well " Dominic Bere , cheryl bullock <cooee.shari wrote: > > there was programe on tv a few nights ago in reguards to this problem-i am in nsw of australia-they use to believe that this was a physiatric problem till recent studies of such people proved that one part of their brain does not function -i can't remember which part but it is approximately rear going close to the top on the left-but i may be out somewhat as the programme was a short one and only computer diagram flashed on to show approximate area---so this is no longer regarded as > mental health problem but a neurological one-do more research into it then find some herbs and foods that may aid in stimulation of these areas-it is a new discovery and some furthur research is necessary however these patients need some help as they usually try to self amputate- with some dire consequences. > > > ________________________________ > Shyam Chandel <chandel_shyam > mdesoi <mdesoi; > Friday, 22 May, 2009 11:11:21 PM > Getting off psychiatric drugs- Body defomation syndrome > > > > > > Could you have a alternate solution for mental health problem which is also known as body deformation syndrome in which the patient feels that a part of his body is deformed and can be rectified by surgery ,where as he is perfectly fine which results in serious mental tension & depression .

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 BODY DEFORMATION SYNDROME : A BOOK ON THE SUBJECT Thank Dominic Bere for a very good post !! I practice Vipassana Meditation and I agree with you 1000 % on all your post !! If you want to pass the message across you are welcome to post anything regarding mental disorder and Nutrition on my blog. www.jmbblog.com I think that psychiatrists and psychologists should spend at least a month in a mental institution as anonymous patients. ========================================== BODY DEFORMATION SYNDROME Do you believe in synchronicity ? Well, I do because I found three days ago an old small book in my library that I did nt even know to own It is from a famous plastic surgeon Maxwell Maltz from thhe 70's and it is called ; Psyco-cibernetics A new way to get more living out of life This is a small jewel of intelligence, kindness and psychology. Actually the book deal a lot with Body deformation syndrome but then switch to a all different level ... because we all have imitating beliefs . A MUST READ. You may have to order it at your public library .. > The first thing I want to say is that if dis-functioning parts of the brain are involved, Transcendental Meditation is the perfect solution.
