Healing from Schizophrenia/Psychosis/Severe MH issues?

[Arcturus]

hiya, amalgam filling removal is not cheap and if not done properly can worsen symptons...i would not advise it personally without thorough research and going to someone who is aware of the mercury issue and is very competent in the specific removal procedure, i.e. not your average dentist. <i have to say this because i brought up the topic and folk will read this thread.

i can understand your point of the lesser of two evils...but thread title is "healing from..." and of course meds will prevent that. i'm not sure if say experimenting with gluten free would offer up correct indications if that were a contributing factor, whilst on meds, but it's worth a try. you can more than likely tell if gluten is a factor just by the type of stool you pass. it's an easy way to remove one possible...it might even tip the balance so you can stop meds. many folk who have night terrors or bad dreams stop when they go gluten free. that said i'm still not implying it is this but i'm wondering why you wouldn't try it....

tentatively....blaming the psyche enables folks to decide against changes in diet, lifestyle and enviroment that could help because they can carry on all that and just change the way they think or feel. i've no doubt that the mh system in this country or any other is not very helpful to say the least...we're on our own.

organic diet free of preservatives etc etc etc would be a necessary starting point. whether you have the funds to do all this is not relevant to the debate on whether they are right to do or not. my experience, and i hope this doesn't sound fecetious, is that if it's right and in your's and the greater good, the world will conspire to see that you get it.

people do make huge changes in their mental state by altering diet and enviroment. as for the psyche, i prefer J krishnamurti's teaching because of course you can heal the body but if the mind is crooked other illnesses will occur, as it's this that governs choices. my experience also is that i don't have an illness or illnesses, i am it, it is me who must heal and that includes being open (not closed mentally. conclusion free as that prevents enquiry) to possibilty of enviromental factors. also just because a hospice or care centre uses natural approaches does not mean they understand causes. and yes, you can have an affect coming purely from a psyche perspective but why not use both. psychologists find psychological causes.
