4 ways of mitigating your symptoms of PTSD. Occasionally updated tip list: https://schizoprevent.blogspot.com/2021/03/ptsd.html LSD might be worth trying depending on the severity of your PTSD (note that it is used alongside psychotherapy). EFT (emotional freedom technique) healed 16 young males of PTSD after only 1 session (of 1 hour) CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitizing and reprocessing) had similar effects to EFT (though much less studies done on them). IES (impact of events score) https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1534765611426788 (See drive for PDF other folder) Another study had 32% reduction (158 particapants) but the participants weren't chosen for having PTSD symptoms. Worked about 10% better in older patients than younger ones. Another study in veterans had 48% effectiveness A meta analysis showed that CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) and EMDR (eye movement desensitizing and reprocessing) had similar effects to EFT. (see drive) MDMA with therapy cured 67% of people (these were people who didn't respond to talk therapy treatment (see below (emotional freedom technique)) 3 90 minute preparatory sessions to establish a connection between therapist and client followed by 2 8 hour session while taking 30mg or 75mg or 125mg MDMA at the start of the 8 hour session followed by half that dose given again 1.5 to 2 hours into the session, they than stayed the night onsite and recieved phone phone contact for 7 days along with 3 more 90 minute sessions aimed at integrating the experince. Overall, a course of treatment included 18 h of non-drug psychotherapy and 16–24 h (2–3 sessions) of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. 75mg was most effective (more than 125mg and way more than 30mg) (the two sessions were spaced 1 month apart). Results were tested for a month after the last 8 hour session. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02791072.2020.1817639 (also see drive other folder) LSD with exposure to trigger then talking through it has remarkable results in those who don't respond to standard therapy.

Fasting leads to a 66% to 70+% recovery from schizophrenia. Well eliminating dairy can help 50% of schizophrenics recover. **updated** Keto is thought to have many similar benefits to fasting. Generally id recommend gluten free then dairy free and low glycemic load. then keto, then carnivore. You should see benefits from these dietary restrictions. You may do fine on gluten and dairy free and keto could be unnecessary to try. I generally do not recommend full water fasting though it is done quite often in europe for various ailments (full water fasting puts you in ketosis on the fifth day of fasting (the point when Yuri Nikolaev and Abram Hoffer noticed the medicinal improvement), unfortunately you must eventually eat to survive so its not sustainable (unlike keto which maintains ketosis without the calorie deficit). Yuri's recovery rate was also not much higher than traditional pre-antipsychotic recovery rates (the 46% post fasting number not the 70% number when actively in ketosis). Water fasting also generally requires medical supervision while keto and carnivore do not. ** Please see the updated tip list for current diet recommendations: https://schizoprevent.blogspot.com/2021/03/strategies-for-improving-schizophrenia.html ** (fixed audio) References: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Controlled-Fasting-Treatment-for-Schizophrenia-Cott/542b4954547b280b2a12dcc3d0fa4525952cbda4?p2df https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2210982/ Hoffer A: Treatment of schizophrenia.

List of constantly updated tips: https://schizoprevent.blogspot.com/2021/03/strategies-for-improving-schizophrenia.html 1)Brain Directed Multivitamin (EMPowerPlus) Creates energy Helps with pyroluria (Zinc, B6, Manganese, Vitamin C, and Magnesium help this and 50% of schizophrenics may have it) Cures bipolar (in many studies), helps schizophrenics in one study (7 patients) People are not getting enough nutrients in their diet Naturopaths often recommend this TrueHope offers a 45% discount for those on disability They make supplement councillors available to adjust dosages This helped me sleep less and be more active 2)Yokukansan (aka Yi Gan San) doesn't help in one (double blind placebo controlled) but does help in others: 25% improvement positive symptoms, 45% in negative and general symptoms in the PANSS test, severity of schizophrenia down by 60%, stops tardive dyskinesia (87% average reduction). 2.5g powder 3 times a day before meals (7.5g total) or 1.5g extract 3 times a day duration 12 weeks https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4411464/ Google drive No adverse reaction reported Doesn't interact negatively with antipsychotic Haven't researched supplement interactions with other recommended supplements yet. 3)Lion’s Mane Mushroom Encourages nerve growth, helps fatigue, builds myelin sheaths, protects against neuron death from oxidative or endoplasmic stress (antioxidant activity is however 4x lower than vit C and can be combined with other antioxidants) 25 to 30% improvement to positive negative and cognitive symptoms (though some is placebo, and it was tested in refractory schizophrenics only) Slows glucose absorption in the gut 27% lower triglyceride levels and 42% less weight gain after 28 days (in mice) 1000mg to 3000mg (2000mg average dose) Amyloban 3399 was used Other brands work fine, but strengths can be different. I suggest you follow the recommended dosing from your provider 2 studies (small trials (case studies only)) Some of the benefit of Lion's Mane might be similar to the KETO/carnivore diet due to lower triglycerides and lower blood glucose https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/lions-mane-mushroom#TOC_TITLE_HDR_9 Those who experienced the greatest improvement in cognition, mood, and sense of well-being were not on any prescription medication such as statins, hypertensive drugs, or blood thinners. Overall, the results of the study showed that Amyloban3399 improved mood, memory, and sense of well-being in 100% of those who were free of any medication. (Google drive link) Effect size is not retained (continuous treatment necessary (for above cognition study at least) Side Effects: testing in rats @ high doses with no ill effects Possible allergic reaction to the mushroom in some humans Lions Mane has long been consumed as food in Asia Precaution: Lowers blood sugar Lowers blood clotting (careful when having surgery, or if prone to bleeding (though no reports of this happening in humans) blood test (for schizo diagnosis) (seems fairly accurate in young people only, High CRMP2 also causes dendrites to be smaller, potentially fixed by Lion's Mane) 4)Betaine Makes neurons look less sick (healthier non-hyperbranching) in mice Zinc and B6 also help with this 2 studies in mice, 1 friend who it helped Thought you should use trimethylglycine (betaine anhydrous) but my friend recommended betaine hydrochloride(?) Stops working when discontinued Toru Mizoguchiuses Betaine (Famous Japanese Ortho Psychiatrist) 5)CoQ10 Many people believe energy systems in the body are effected by schizophrenia. Including the main source of cell energy the mitochondria. Therefore taking some supplements for energy may provide a large benefit. I'd recommend magnesium, b vitamins including b12, CoQ10, NAD boosters such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) acetyl l carnitine, french oak extract, two people had benefit from alpha lipoic acid (strong antioxidant so perhaps don't mix with cod liver oil), PQQ has be known to provide energy benefits also (though it is a strong antioxidant so perhaps don't take cod liver oil and PQQ at the same time (switch to regular fish oil for a period) (acts similar in some ways as lions mane), exercise also helps energy (see above), fisetin, brahmi, https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2020/10/constantly-tired-oak-wood-fights-fatigue? https://wholefoodsmagazine.com/columns/vitamin-connection/increased-energy-and-performance-as-well-as-detoxification-with-bioflavonoids-from-robuvit-french-oak-extract/ 0:00 Intro 0:23 EMP+ 4:31 Yi Gan San 7:19 Lion's Mane Mushroom 10:26 Betaine 13:35 CoQ10 15:03 Summery

Nonsuicidal substance-induced death, mostly from alcohol or other drugs, was also a leading cause of death (95.2 per 100 000 person-years). https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2466831 Alzheimer's rate at age 80 70.2% versus 11.3% without schizophrenia Car accidents double per mile driven but most schizophrenics drive way less or not at all.

I share a series of tips that can reduce your chances (or the chances of a loved one) from going on to develop schizophrenia. ((I adjusted the video framing and reshot the video (I'm still getting used to the art of video making:) I had cut-off the top of my head in the previous upload (thinking the angle was better) but it was distracting. Hang in their peeps still getting a handle on it)) The full tip list can be found here: https://schizoprevent.blogspot.com/ It has a link to almost all the science mentioned in this video (some info is from google) Video points: Schizophrenia can develop at any age. 70% under 30, under 12 Extremely unlikely. If u have close relatives it is more likely 40 to 65% twin 10% one parent 10% risk if your sibling has it 50% two parents Animals A dog 25% less risk between age 1 to 3 Cat doubles risk of exposed between age of 9 to 12 12 was cut off in the study Stress Low abuse child abuse 2.8x low stress Recent stressful life events 10% increase to schizophrenia Poverty 2x Children who are liked more less likely to develop schizo Support network unknown Parents married less then 2 years 50% increased 2 to 4 years 30% increased risk Likeable children at 50% lower risk mostly* not if high poverty and worsening neighborhood Get married unknown Ethnic difference 3.5x black 3x Hispanic in america Bacterial infection during pregnancy 1.8 odds ratio, 2.9 in multisystematic infection, 1.6 localized infection, men 2.6 odds ratio difference, women no difference https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/appi.ajp.2019.18101206 Pollution Country vs city 2x Pollution nitrogen dioxide cause schizo (is higher in cities) Supplements Vit d summer babies 20% lower than winter babies Choline supplementation reduces risk unknown Extreme Excess methionine in pregnancy causes schiz 2x? in extreme cases. Fish oil 4x improvement Drugs No LCD , psychedelics, PCP, unknown , each trip increases risk amphetamines (Ritalin causes stimulate psychoses in 0.1% of people, Meth causes it in 36.5%) high THC skunk marijuana used daily 5x risk, smoking at least 5 times regular marijuana doubles risk update: risk for developing schizo after drug induced phychosis (after actually losing touch with reality) cannabis (6 studies, 34%, CI 25%–46%), hallucinogens (3 studies, 26%, CI 14%–43%) and amphetamines (5 studies, 22%, CI 14%–34%).

It is impossible to change this to a percent unless you know the statistical variability of the data points) https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2685325 But trade offs

After two years I am back in front of the camera again, making more videos. I will be making 3 to 4 videos a month for the next year. Thank You for sticking with the channel. Take care--

I go through a step by step program to further your recovery from schizophrenia and compare it to the effectiveness of antipsychotic medication in reducing your symptoms of schizophrenia. Complete list of recovery tips can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/schizoprevent/posts/500770146943424 (above link has all the science papers in it used for this video) and here for diagnosing schizophrenia: https://www.facebook.com/schizoprevent/posts/536757516678020 The method elucidated in this video may also be effective if you have treatment resistant schizophrenia with antipsychotic medication not working for you; trying these steps may still improve your condition by the mentioned effect sizes. Schizophrenia is very heterogeneous (different in different people). The numbers we achieve in this video (on the high end) are about the same as the effectiveness of clozapine which is the most effective antipsychotic currently available, with an average effectiveness of 88% in reducing schizophrenia symptoms. Clozapine is only used for those who have treatment resistant schizophrenia due to risk of causing low white blood cell counts which can be fatal. 0:00 The needed effect size 0:53 Cod Liver Oil 2:42 Zinc 3:54 KETO / Gluten Free 6:02 Exercise 7:35 Occupational Engagement 10:08 Raloxifene 11:47 Adding up the effect sizes 16:13 Potential Problems 16:55 CBD Oil or a Low Dose Antipsychotic 18:29 My Experience 19:33 Conclusion 20 (10 without placebo) fish oil4 month on 4 month off. 27 with vitamin e and c 400iu e and 500mg c was used. Some cod liver oil would likely have the 27% effect in itself though the fish oil used in their study had higher EPA than DHA and could be preferred) regular dose amounts were used similar to what's written on fish oil bottles. 30 zinc largely retained 30% pos and negpanns. 10% cog18% total panns placebo accounted for. Other NMDA receptor effectors like sarcosine not as effective. 25mg a day for 6 weeks. Study used much more but that's risky for low red blood cell count without copper supplementation. 7 - 55 (say 20) keto, gluten free may achieve a positive effect of unknown size if you don't want to go all the way keto. Placebo accounted for Keto 12% shorter lifespanat less than 30% carbs could be double at 5% carbs 23 occup 23 posmid 40 poshighly occupied - exercise (3x a week 20 to 60 min each session, aerobic exercise ,plus weights?) and weight reduction. Not clear if occup led to reduction or reductions caused increased occupation. Needs to be enriched, social meaningful different environments ect.. Church Exercise for 30% cognitive boost Less than 3 min calorie counting or better yet eat healthy 9-16 (say 16)reloxefene placebo accounted for 60mg a day for 12 weeks in one study, slight risk of blood clot 67% to 88% on positive symptoms of schizophrenia 64% to 84% no reloxefene 58% if u cut the mid occupation effect in half Including 1 placebo effect with fish oil You may be a stronger or less strong responder within the high and low averages of these studies. 60% effect size of 6mg resperidone 6 week mark, another study had 6 wk 50% effect size 6mg resperidone. Clozapine is about 30% more effective than risperidone. Hampered by the fact min panss score is 7. And we get down to 10 Add cbd if still have symptoms 800mg/d in one study was as effective as an antyphochotic https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6843725/#:~:text=CBD%20as%20monotherapy,were%20treated%20over%204%20weeks. (amisulpride 2ed strongest antyphochotic.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0140673613607333). Use less because less effect is needed. Adjunctive cbd oil is also helpful In many ways including glial cells.https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2020/11/beyond-cbd-plant-based-endocannabinoid-support CBD oil is noted safe at this dosage and has been given continuously for up to 6 months in studies with no I'll effects except for Sedation can be an side effect Weight gain in 6% of people. THC much more strongly associated with w g CBD oil can cause diarrhea which usually resolves ok but may prevent you from taking it. But can also effect the metabolism of other drugs, causing levels to increase ( in 60% of prescription drugs) Liver toxicity is another small risk of CBD oil, which could be checked within the first 30 days Too many antioxidants can reduce lifespans too.
