Clinical Neuroscience deals with both psychiatry and neurology. Many neurological disorders have psychiatric symptoms. In fact psychiatric diseases are probably neurological diseases not yet understood.
Biochemical abnormalities causing psychiatric symptoms are discussed. It is concluded that schizophrenia is a diabetes of the brain.
There is substantial hope in orthomolecular psychiatry. It seems that lactate is high in the brain in schizophrenia and possibly also bipolar disorder. This excess lactate is cause by amino acids, particularly tryptophan, flooding the brain cells.
The use of nutrition is recommended to optimize brain function.
There was a big battle between the orthomolecular forces, led by Pauling, Hoffer, & Osmond, and the APA (American Psychiatric Association), which is hooked on drugs. The APA rejected orthomolecular psychiatry, but I believe that they were wrong.
The word "orthomolecular" was invented by Linus Pauling, but Pauling was influenced by previous work by Hoffer & Osmond. They all favored the use of natural substances.
Orthomolecular starts off with the prefix "ortho", which means "right" or "correct". The same prefix is used in the word "orthodox". Orthomolecular means the right amounts of the right molecules.
This is an old theory that dates back to Stockings (1940). Nevertheless Stockings was right. The substance is toxic.
There have been many controversies in psychiatry, including the one created by Linus Pauling when he invented "orthomolecular" psychiatry. I favor a vegan diet to treat mental illness.
Nutrition plays a role in many diseases. It often can be used either as a treatment or as prevention or both. This approach was vfavored by Linus Pauling and Adelle Davis.

In porphyria there is a lack of heme. Since an enzyme metabolizing tryptophan requires heme, this causes a flooding of the brain with tryptophan. There are mental symptoms.
There are a lot of issues in the Presidential election, and some have not yet been adressed. Change is needed in a variety of areas including animal rights.
Scientology is quackery. I do recognize it as a religion. The APA doesn't even think that it is a religion. It certainly isn't science.

For many mental health patients, involuntary muscle movement is common. With the use of Parkinson's drug, Biperiden, these mental health patients are realizing an improvement.
A bachelor's degree can only get you so far in a career in mental health. This article discusses steps in choosing career paths and graduate training programs in mental health-related fields.
Psychiatry and psychology have struggled for over 100 years to be recognized as valid medical practices. Like the Catholic church, abuses abound. Why isn't the public aware, and why are abuse situations minimized to be of little concern?
Some foods actually contribute to the development of cancer; other foods lessen the risk. Lowering fat, calorie content, meat and alcohol consumption and switching from an animal-based diet to a plant-based diet may help prevent different kinds of cancer.
Scientists are now exploring the nature if God. All over the medical establishments, scientists are seeking the most ethical and effective way to combine patients' own spiritual beliefs with high-tech medical treatment.

Orthomolecular medicine can be used to fight mental illness, cardiovascular disease, obesity, hypertension, cancer, and a wide variety of other diseases including food allergies.
Schizophrenia is a disease well-known, and tritely referred to, but it is in fact a very real and very serious condition that wreaks havoc on patients and families.
The American researchers Friedhoff & Van Winkle found a substance (DMPEA) present only in schizophrenics. The Cuban doctor Castillo has developed a blood test for schizophrenia. Van Winkle claimed that she had a cure for the disease.
There is a recent book (2004) by Dr. John Abramson which says "the pharmaceutical companies distort medical knowledge, mislead doctors, and compromise your health". This is true, and it is done for corporate profits.
There are many theories in psychiatry. Some of these have been proven wrong by neuropathology data. The neurodevelopmental theory has been proven wrong by findings of gliosis and neurodegeneration.
The Russians have done brilliant work in the area of psychiatry dating back to Korsakov and Pavlov. More recently they have consistently demonstrated a toxic factor in schizophrenia.
Psychiatric drugs are extremely dangerous, unfortunately. Sudden death can be seen. Far safer and more logical is orthomolecular psychiatry.
Some orthomolecular theories of mental illness involve food allergies. My own theory is that there is an allergic reaction to protein because too many amino acids are flooding the cells.
The author presents a comprehensive theory of schizophrenia and a diet that should be tried as a treatment. The diet is orthomolecular.
Hoffer is the heir to the throne of Linus Pauling, having taken over Pauling's work since his death. When Hoffer dies, a new heir is needed, perhaps Kunin. Dr. Kunin is younger.
I have studied over a century's worth of reports. I have put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Some diseases are food allergies. Examples include gout, PKU, lactose intolerance, celiac disease, etc. Other diseases can involve deficiencies.
The vegan diet may benefit mental illness because it is lower in protein than the omnivorous diet. Protein should not be treated as a sacred cow.
