Conquering Schizophrenia

Introduction
"I know of one patient who turned to Gerson Therapy having been told she was suffering from terminal cancer and would not survive another course of chemotherapy. Happily, seven years later, she is alive and well. So it is vital that, rather than dismissing such experiences, we should further investigate the beneficial nature of these treatments."- H.R.H. Charles, Prince of Wales

The use of nutrition as a treatment was advocated by Dr. Gerson. But can nutrition be used to treat mental disease?

"Vitamin C is a specific antagonist of chemical and bacterial toxins." William McCormick, M.D.
1880-1968

"Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen, and thinking what nobody has thought."
- Albert Szent-Györgyi

I believe that the answer is "Yes."

"When in doubt, try nutrition first." Roger J. Williams, Ph.D.
1893-1988

Linus Pauling

"The failure of the medical establishment during the last forty years to recognize the value of vitamin E in controlling heart disease is responsible for a tremendous amount of unnecessary suffering and for many early deaths. The interesting story of the efforts to suppress the Shute discoveries about vitamin E illustrates the shocking bias of organized medicine against nutritional measures for achieving improved health." Linus Pauling

"We didn't make vitamin E so versatile. God did. Ignore its mercy at your peril."
- Dr. Evan Shute

In 1968 Pauling advocated the use of nutrition to attack mental illness.

"Vitamin C is the safest substance available to the physician."
- Frederick Klenner, M.D.

"For every drug that benefits a patient, there is a natural substance that can achieve the same effect." - Pfeiffer's Law Carl C. Pfeiffer, M.D., Ph.D.
1908-1988

Pauling invented the word "orthomolecular" in 1968 in a brilliant paper on psychiatry.

"Linus Pauling was right." - Associated Press

"Orthomolecular is a term made up of ortho, which is Greek for "correct" or "right" and molecule which is the simplest structure that displays the characteristics of a compound. So it literally means the 'right molecule'." orthomolecular.org
