I probably should stop the smoking, huh?
Way to get heavy metals into your system.
> Hello bleauberry, thanks for your post. There is this clinic in Arizona called "Alternative to Meds".. They do alot of the testing you have mentioned. I thought about going there.

> It looks like they do alot of testing for the issues you mentioned. Do you think its advisable to go there? I could get a 6 month health visa and stay there. They even have a closed unit for suicidal folks IF i get into trouble.

> > Ok, people often think my views are weird, unproven, whatever. Actually, if you think about it, the entire psychiatric industry is that way. But anyway, ok, the psych drugs aren't working against whatever is wrong. Ok. That tells you something. It tells you it is something else that those meds are not touching.
> > Bizarre psychiatric stuff, especially in the panic/psychotic/schizo arena, is in my opinion almost always a result of a foreign insult by foreign molecules that are corrupting, contaminating, your neurotransmitters, clogging receptors, confusing feedback mechanisms, basically total chaos in the brain. The kinds of things that do that, in my experience anyway, and proven in my experience, are....chronic stealth unknown infections, lyme being the common one but there are a handful of similar and related, in the bacterial, fungal, and viral classes....inflammation of the brain....toxin accumulation, such as mercury, lead, plastics, cadmium, aluminum.
> > So if not psych meds, what to do? Attack the monster from several angles....anti-inflammation, anti-toxin, and anti-infection. Strategies such as testing oneself for gluten sensitivity, dairy sensitivity, etc, these are very important. Basically, remove these kinds of insults to the human body, and the brain symptoms get better or go a way completley. Not that easy, we are talking months, try some of this, try some of that, combine this, combine that....most of the plant medicines of the world, much more useful in these things than any meds are....they work in synergy.
> > Study up on chronic lyme, read the book Healing Lyme by stephen buhner....it doesn't matter whether you have lyme or not, these same strategies are the ones likely to make those crazy schizo symptoms go away.
> > I say all this from personal experience. I was on zyprexa 8 years. I had profound schizo-like emotions, and I knew they were fake, not me, but they were as real and as heavy as could be, horrible. Twisting the mind. When the toxins and insults were lessened, it all went away.
> > Depression was the lingering symptom, super low dose savella has helped a lot with that, and fatigue I am told is the last symptom to improve. I'm not quite there yet.
> > But for sure, a backpack full of psych meds, 15 years of trying them all....that route did not do a thing to improve my outcome.
