Who is Dr. Sachs? How to get in touch with him? Does he have a website?

I remembered that the last time I had a major OCD flare up, I felt something move inside my left brain, making me feel itchy. It's like a 'worm' inside. Is there any connection and am I missing something here???!!

I have 2 pet cats at home. I read that cat parasites can cause schizophrenia....
