What’s the metrics for the diagnostic without proper tools ?
Is it possible to get candida albicans in the brain?
Good.
Please try treating this as a parasitic disease
Been treating someone with two antiparasites for over a year
The improvement is huge
Episodes every month coincides with new moon and full moon
Same time when parasites are most active
are you saying my schizophrenia scaused by parasites? I dont think so? should have more symptons then in my body no?
What if you was diagnosed schizoaffective is there a cure or can a person be in remission of schizoaffective?
Absolutely! the symptoms are usually linked as a defense mechanism to something (the moment in your life when in order to survive, you made that split.) Meaning it's possible to work through that traumatic memory, or even go backwards and "befriend that part of yourself", and heal the split in that way.
Ex. Tom hears voices, but specifically when he feels alone (even in a group). Tom learns to contain his loneliness? The voices become more manageable and even at times unnoticeable. Eventually Tom stops hearing voices, and now used to hear voices.
Word of warning though; there is no "cure" as in the way you'll never experience it again. But with a little self exploration, acceptance and experimentation? You can turn it from a nightmare, into an odd qwerk you can choose to engage with in a non-destructive way.
We all hallucinate (ex. dreaming) and have delusions (ex. society) and experience negative emotions (ex. Excessive stress). What makes schitzophrenea "schitzophrenea" is our inability to recognize that as us. It only truly becomes a disease when it stops fitting social norms (hence why religious people get a pass). You can be easily "cured" by the definition of schitzophrenea changing or by adjusting to social norms (which is not how physical diseases work). Hence you're not broken, or sick; just having a really shitty time in your head (which CAN be helped.)
Doctors are great at managing symptoms to help level out as you go through the process (might ask you to sober up, eat and sleep well, exercise, maybe some meds if it's THAT unbearable.) But I want to make clear that the medications suppress the experience, and does not get rid of them (common misunderstanding.) And sadly not many doctors are trained on what exactly to do once you are stable.
While it's totally possible to heal? Ya gotta find either someone who really specializes in the schitzophrenic spectrum, or someone who has mended similar wounds (preferably not a cult 😜). I've seen miracles done with Gestalt and somatic types of therapies, specifically because they focus on healing the split (and not just managing symptoms).
But to answer your question truthfully? No, there is no cure, and remission is quite probable. But there's lots of things that can genuinely help so when it does happen? Your life doesn't fall apart, and the experience is more like having an "off day" (which we all have). Heck, I still "talk to the voice/s" when I'm alone and indecisive, (helps me think and sometimes they're really funny). But what makes me "cured" is finding that internal ability to turn it on and off when I choose, and recognize and accept it doesn't need to be anything more than playing pretend to handle a really stressful task (actually makes me really good at solving complex problems in general.) So there's hope, but coming from someone who's literally grown up in the field? Even this lecture has massive gaps in practical answers, and continues to convince people they are sick (which ironically makes it impossible to do the real healing I think you're referring to).
Find THAT person, they're not easy to find (and some are ridiculously pricey 🤮). But you know you found them when you open up, and they don't close up. They'll know what I'm talking about and be able to help in that way.
Best of luck 🙏
@@bajcar , Thank you for your information and example. I'm definitely a work in progress 😁
BE Careful of any diagnosis for any mental issue.
... I'm interested in your opinion of eye tracking as a reliable test for schizophrenia ...
