Mental illnesses, including psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, suicidal tendencies, etc… remain one of the most serious chronic diseases, filling up mental hospitals beyond capacity. The problem with mental hospitals is that they do not treat the cause, but rather supply temporary relief by doping up patients with drugs and tranquilizers. This method cannot & do not lead to recovery. To further complicate matters, psychotropic drugs themselves can cause psychosis amongst a host of other side effects. The psychiatric symptoms of these drugs may include apathy, disinterest, poor concentration and memory problems that precludes learning, personality deterioration, and inability to function without supervision. The physical side effects of these drugs can include tardive dyskinesia, other types of neurological conditions, impotence, obesity, and skin problems. The modern mental hospital no attention to food allergies & deficiencies; provides little shelter; and provides no protection for patients and for society. The end results are the same. Patients do not recover. The recovery rate today is under 15%, one-third of the recovery rate achieved in 1850. Patients suffer tremendously from this socially rejected disease & remain so because of psychiatric ignorance to natural treatment protocols.
The same applies to childhood behavioral problems such as ADD, ADHD, Austism, etc…In the 1950’s, there were only a few thousand children in the U.S. who were prescribed "speed" or Ritalin for hyperactivity. Today, about 4+ Million children a day are on medication. Anti-psychotic drugs carry many problems and serious side effects including heightened risk of obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease. Refer to the long list of Ritalin's dangers, contraindications and side effects, listed in the Physician's Desk Reference.

| Clinical trials have repeatedly shown that illnesses, including mental illness, are not caused by drug deficiency. Rather, many diseases, particularly mental & psychological in nature, may be largely caused by vitamin deficiencies and/or cerebral allergies. Among the most aggressive offenders are sugar & food additives, found in most if not all junk foods & convenience foods. Long term usage of these foods invariably leads to vitamin & mineral deficiencies.
Consider, for example, "the four D's" of pellagra (vitamin B3 deficiency): diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, and death. More specific pellagra symptoms include weakness, anorexia, lassitude, indigestion, skin eruptions, skin scaling, neuritis, nervous system destruction, confusion, apathy, disorientation, and insanity. Imagine if useless psychotherapy, medications with side effects, electric shock treatments, and all other worthless conventional treatments for psychosis could be replaced with sound nutrition and proper supplementation to support healthy brain function. They can.
