DEFINING

Breeding, Dr John  Hallucinations, Catatonia and Schizophrenia    http://www.livevideo.com/video/psychetruth/87CC85EB0E184A07BB430203A51DB987/hallucinations-catatonia-and-.aspx
 
Heidler, Robert  The Messianic Church Arising  www.glory-of-zion.org 
Appendix 3
, part 2 - The Feast of Pentecost (Open Heavens) 
"Schizo is a Greek word that means, 'to rend, tear violently, open or unfold'...
In Mark 1:10 when, at the baptism of Jesus, the heavens were 'torn open' (schizo)
and the (Holy) Spirit descended...
As John and Cheryl are driving into Middletown for a prophetic conference,
God writes SCHIZO across the sky."
(Since Satan is a counterfeiter, he will attempt to copy in a destructive way what good God is doing.)

"If you live in Japan. There they’ve just officially changed the Japanese expression used for schizophrenia from one that means ‘disease of split and disorganized mind’ to a softer expression meaning ‘a transient state of loosened association’."
One of the reasons is to reduce patient/family stigma and increase patient's possibility of marriageability.
 
Meyer, Naomi  The Journey with Joshua - Educating My Autistic Child 
"The term 'early infantile autism' was coined in 1944 by a Dr. Leo Kanner to describe a group of
(emotionally) disturbed schizophrenic children who showed a uniform pattern of disabilities in
responding to their environment...Such children tended to be intellectually, emotionally detached
and to think in abstractions...blamed on...'refrigerator parents'." 
(The children were NOT schizophrenic, but rather autistic.) 
"'Dr Krohn, I still wonder by, when there was compelling evidence that our son was brain-damaged,
you insisted on a diagnosis of emotional disturbance'...Mrs. Meyer, 'I made a mistake.  At the time,
we were all under the influence of the prevailing view here, which was along the lines of Kanner's
original description of exactly what autism is.  I now know all that has been changed,
and that autism is today seen (theorized) as a neurological (biochemical) disorder.'"
 

ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

As DHEA is a precursor sex hormone, one may prefer to use 7 Keto DHEA that does not convert
to testosterone or estrogen. 
It also may help with memory & immunity. 10/2/99 Journal of Exercise Physiology www.purecaps.com

recommend free form amino acid glutamine &/or glutamic acid
for fatigue, concentration, confusion, sugar cravings, mood, & memory. 
BEWARE Over 2 grams will trigger mania if bipolar. www.boragebooks.com   edelman@borgebooks.com 
Per Reader's Digest Foods That Harm, Foods That Heal another potential danger is mushrooms
(contain lots of glutamic acid, an amino acid, a naturally occurring form of monosodium glutamate or MSG) which can overexcite the brain and also cause headaches.  www.rd.com April 2004
Betaine (TMG) or trimethyl-glycine converts bad amino acid homo-cysteine into beneficial "methionine
to reduce high hist-amine levels" 
Foods high in TMG are spinach (raw), beets and broccoli (sprouts).
[SAM-e, B12, B3, B6 and folic acid also convert homo-cysteine to methionine per Meiser and Anderson in
Overcoming Senior Moments
.  Notice, homo-cysteine is not the word hist-amine.] 
DANGER, please refer to "Methionine" above and following line items.

GABA gamma-aminobutyric acid/amino acid.
Audie G Leventhal, Utah School of Medicine, found that GABA eliminates brain garbage signals that
distract & overwhelm. Take PM.  Eva Edelman in Natural Healing for Schizophrenia & Other Common Mental Disorders recommends taking vitamin B6, taurine & manganese to support the formation GABA from
glutamate coming from glutamine. GABA may help excess mental activity. www.216.205.123.2/whatshot52.shtml   www.msnbc.com/news    www.fiftyplusadvoctes.com  9/4/03

Histidine (an amino acid) can help some schizophrenics while harming other schizophrenics per
Erdmann's The Amino Revolution  and per Edelman's Natural Healing for Schizophreniaedelman@boragebooks.com   www.boragebooks.com  Take for "low histamine (histapenia)".
WARNINGAvoid copper, methionine and Sam-e.  Be sure to have your histamine levels checked.
L-Carnosine  consists of amino acids beta-alanine + L-histidine.
Folic acid "helps LOW histamine" (histapenia) person
but harms HIGH histamine (histadelia) schizophrenic person. 
The same contradictions can apply to niacin, calcium, iron & copper.  www.purecaps.com
 
Methionine helps high hist-amine (histadelia) schizophrenic person
but
may harm
low histamine (histapenia) schizophrenic person. 
SAM-e is S-adenosyl-methionine (used for joints & depression). 
TMG (tri-methyl-glycine or anhydrous betaine) is able to generate SAM-e.
Methionine (an amino acid) is known as Sam-e  
Look  for the 1,4-dibutane sulfanate form of Sam-e which is more stable and less expensive,
per Michael Lesser MD, Berkley, California in The Brain Chemistry Diet.  
Methionine should be taken at supper/dinner time with Magnesium, B6, B12, folic acid, calcium
around 5PM, after work and not at bedtime. 
Warning.  When Sam-e is needed/used, avoid histidine and folic acid.
Medicinal Mushrooms   (First, check to see if you have high or low histamine levels - IMPORTANT)  
Reishi
(ganoderma lucidum) mushroom is high in B vitamins. 
It inhibits the release of histamine.  It is also know for its adaptogenic properties. 
Shiitake (lentinus edodes) mushroom is also high in B vitamins.
High excess homo-cysteine and/or low folate are implicated in brain diseases as schizophrenia and
Alzheimer's.  Note that homo-cysteine is a precursor to SAMe central to neurotransmitter production.

Imprinted Genes may hold some clues to schizophrenia.  Methyl is a DNA silencer.  The 2nd genetic
code or pattern of DNA silencers is the next technology called MethylScope.  50+ genes are known to
be imprinted due to inheritance or affected in the womb before birth and may be found by molecular
diagnostic  testing.  Chromosome 2 and/or 22 may be associated with schizophrenia.

Brain Receptor Sites
"In the megavitamin treatment of schizophrenia, large doses of ascorbate and niacin are routinely used.
In schizophrenia, the brain receptor sites may be saturated with endogenously-produced hallucinogens or schizomimetic metabolites. The action of ascorbate may be to replace these hallucinogens on the receptor
sites. In individuals where the therapeutic response to megavitamins is incomplete, it may be that the few grams of sodium ascorbate routinely administered may not be 'mega' enough for this purpose, and they require daily ascorbate in the same range required in drug addiction, at least in the beginning of the
therapy."
 
L-glutamic amino acid may detoxify brain ammonia by forming glutamine which can cross the blood-brain barrier and help in the production of GABA, DNA and energy. http://aminoacidbotanicalandsupplementsource.net/glutamic_acid_info.htm

Clozapine (Clozaril) may be adversely affected by large amounts of cocoa due to its caffeine content. 
Cocoa may exacerbate psychotic symptoms and toxicity of clozapine plus inhibit clozapine metabolism 
Related foods are black and green tea, coffee, cola, guarana and mate. 
Excess cocoa may also trigger migraines in sensitive people. 
The sudden withdrawal of large amounts of cocoa may cause lithium toxicity, due to cocoa's caffeine content.
Oral contraceptives and grapefruit reduce caffeine clearance.  (note=Grapefruit increases med dosage.)
MAOIs with high cocoa intake may trigger a hypertensive crisis due to tyramine content.
Excess cocoa has been known to cause shakiness, increased urination, rapid pulse and constipation.

Brownstein, Dr David   www.drbrownstein.com   Iodine - Why You Need It.Why You Can't Live Without It.  Chapter 5 Iodine and the Toxic Halogens - Bromide and Fluoride  iodine, bromine (bromide), chorine,
astatine, and fluorine (fluoride) are in the Periodic Table under the family grouping of halogens. 
They compete for the same cell receptors in the body.  Iodine is imperative to the organs which accept it (thymus/breast/ovaries/salivary glands) plus helpful in displacing/dislodging the competing toxic elements [bromine (bromide), chorine, astatine, and fluorine (fluoride)] that can trigger/aggravate/contribute to the diseases found especially in the organs which have the halogen receptors. Numerous maladies have been blamed on these toxic metals- "delirium, psychomotor retardation, schizophrenia and hallucination"
per 1948 American Journal of Psychiatry #104:798-804. Bromine reduced from bromide is a major culprit. 
The bakery industry replaced iodine with bromine in the 1960's.  Therefore, where there is mental illness in one's family, be sure to regularly offer your family Celtic salt, fish, seaweed, sea vegetables,
iodine supplements, or Iodoral (which has both iodine and iodide needed by the body).
 
MSG (monosodium glutamate) or free glutamic acid     versus     pure L-glutamic acid suppliments
http://www.truthinlabeling.org/III.What%20is%20MSG.html
"The glutamate industry continues to deny that exposure to free glutamic acid found in processed food (MSG) causes adverse reactions including hives, asthma, seizures, and migraine headache; causes brain damage, learning disorders, and endocrine disturbances; and is relevant to diverse diseases of the central nervous system such as addiction, stroke, epilepsy, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, and degenerative disorders such as ALS, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
..
The processed (harmful) free glutamic acid used in processed food (especially as a salt/preservative/flavor enhancement - especially in Asian restaurants) and in pesticide and fertilizer products is (often considered to be) identical to the glutamic acid found in unprocessed, unadulterated food and in the human body...
Most of the glutamic acid with which consumers come in contact is found in protein where it is connected to (or bound to) other amino acids in long chains.  There are 2 forms of glutamic acid found in nature:
L-glutamic acid and D-glutamic acid. When glutamic acid is found in protein it is referred to as bound glutamic acid.  The glutamic acid found in protein is L-glutamic acid, only."
Truly natural glutamic acid does not contain contaminants. Processed free glutamic acid (MSG) does.

How do we know it causes brain damage and neuroendocrine disorders? 
DANGER.  MSG can cross the placenta and affect the fetus!

GABA + L-glutamic acid as pesticides

"2 active (pesticide) ingredients are used to enhance growth of specified plants, prevent development of powdery mildew on grapes, and suppress certain other plant diseases...
GABA helps to maintain normal brain function...
L-Glutamic acid and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) are found in virtually all living organisms.
In their pure form, they are powders.
L-Glutamic acid is one of the major amino acids in plant and animal proteins, and is also involved in many physiologic functions. Both active (pesticide) ingredients act as neurotransmitters in the brain.
Humans readily metabolize ingested L-glutamic acid so that concentrations in the body remain constant. Enzymes in animals and plants convert L-glutamic acid to GABA."
 L-Glutamic acid (L-GA), a seaweed ingredient, identified in 1908 by Japanese scientists responsible for enhancing flavor for food is now best known scientifically as monosodium glutamate (MSG).
The sodium salt of glutamic acid (GA) is called as MSG.[1] The other names include - S-(+)-GA, L-GA, 2-aminoglutaric acid, and an anionic form of MSG at physiological pH known as glutamate.[2]
MSG, a derivative of GA, is reported to be a naturally occurring nutrient in many foods and is increasingly
used in food processing and home cooking in the western world.[3] Its commercial use to improve food palatability for humans is well documented.[4] The presence of free form of glutamate,
NOT linked to protein is said to enhance flavor in food.[5]
MSG is known to produce a unique taste sensation termed 'UMAMI' the 5th taste, i.e. savory or brothy taste present in tomatoes and cheese. Free glutamate content is said to increase during the process of natural ripening and bring about a fuller taste in many foods, the basis behind is not known.[1] It is also called as 'palate pleaser.' Studies on taste have shown that infants to adults enjoy taste of foods containing glutamate, which is said to be 10 times more in breast milk compared to cow's milk.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid present in the body. It is also known as levoglutamide, L-GA 5 amide, L-(+)-2-aminoglutamicacid.[6] It is synthesized in the body from GA and ammonia in an energy requiring reaction. Although nonessential in health, glutamine is conditionally essential in stress and illness.[2] ...
Initial acute reaction to ingestion of MSG (can be) followed by long-term psychological effects like depression, drawn faces, motor slowing, doubt-ridden, gloomy fantasies, outbursts of rage, looking strange, and ominous, suggestive of paranoia...(called as 'bad dreams').
Bladder and bowel incontinence along with intermittent hyperactivity have been reported.[35],[36] ...
Excess consumption of GA leading to brain swelling, astrocyte swelling, and neurological deficit has been reported.[2] ...
Headache, neurological problems, liver, and kidney dysfunction may occur with high doses.[37] ...
The MSG is found in MOST (factory processed) soups, salad dressings, processed meats, frozen entrees,
ice creams, frozen yogurt, crackers, bread, in 'low fat' foods to make up for flavor lost when fat is reduced or eliminated.[31]
Maca, a dehydrated, cruciferous root vegetable containing vitamins and essential amino acids including GA, consumed as a dietary substance is said to be beneficial in women to control menopausal symptoms, in osteoporosis, in premenstrual symptoms and used as an energy booster, by doctors in Peru and US.
It is said to be beneficial in impotence, chronic fatigue syndrome in men.[38] ...
GA hydrochloride is shown to release hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
L-Glut-amine can be used as a mucosal protective for patients following gastrointestinal surgeries...

Psychotic disorder NOS has psychotic symptoms insufficient to make specific diagnosis. 
Schizoaffecive disorder has had 2 weeks of psychosis plus mania or major depression.
Mood disorder with psychosis - occur only during mood disorder episodes.
Psychosis may be caused by the direct effect of a medical condition or medication.
Psychotic delirium may be caused due to medical condition or medication.
Psychotic dementia may be caused due to medical condition.
Psychosis may be caused by substance/drug intoxication or withdrawal.
Psychotic delirium may be caused by substance/drug intoxication or withdrawal.

Covert transport dysfunction in the choroid plexus as a possible cause of schizophrenia
. Scientific Paper = Schizophrenia and certain forms of idiopathic mental retardation may result from covert immune complex disease of the basal lamina of the choroid plexus, a process that may cause covert transport dysfunction in similar structures of, for example, skin, bowel, kidney, and endocrines.
Plexial attack could lead to cerebrospinal fluid contamination and then, via an "open" ependyma, to neurotransmitter dysfunction in the periventricular limbic brain. The immune complex mechanism implies polygenic induction, direct or autoimmune, of immune sensitivity to exogenous agents and is thus
compatible with the genetic picture in schizophrenia. Candidate agents include viral coat peptides and cereal grain glutens. The glutens are known to cause immune complex skin and bowel disease variants, and some empirical evidence links them to schizophrenia.  New immunofluorescence methods can detect such pathology, which is otherwise silent. Systemic lupus erythematosus provides a model since it is a genetic immune complex disease strongly associated with schizophreniform psychoses, exhibits choroid plexial immunofluorescence but no central nervous system pathology by ordinary methods; hypothesis suggests a possible triggering by viruses.

Sacks, Elyn R  The Center Cannot Hold - My Journey Through Madness  secular auto-biography
http://www.powells.com/biblio?show=HARDCOVER:NEW:9781401301385:24.95&page=excerpt#page   
"Then something odd happens. My awareness (of myself, of him, of the room, of the physical reality
around and beyond us) instantly grows fuzzy. Or wobbly. I think I am dissolving. I feel - my mind feels
- like a sand castle with all the sand sliding away in the receding surf. What's happening to me?
This is scary, please let it be over!
I think maybe if I stand very still and quiet, it will stop.
This experience is much harder, and weirder, to describe than extreme fear or terror...
But explaining what I've come to call "disorganization" is a different challenge altogether.
Consciousness gradually loses its coherence
. One's center gives way. The center cannot hold.
The "me" becomes a haze, and the solid center from which one experiences reality breaks up
like a bad radio signal. There is no longer a sturdy vantage point from which to look out,
take things in, assess what's happening. No core holds things together, providing the lens
through which to see the world, to make judgments and comprehend risk.
Random moments of time follow one another. Sights, sounds, thoughts, and feelings don't go together. No organizing principle takes successive moments in time and puts them together in a coherent way from which sense can be made. And it's all taking place in slow motion
.
Of course, my dad didn't notice what had happened, since it was all happening inside me.
And as frightened as I was at that moment, I intuitively knew this was something I needed to hide from him, and from anyone else as well. That intuition - that there was a secret I had to keep - as well as the other masking skills that I learned to use to manage my disease, came to be central components of my experience of schizophrenia."
Sacks, Elyn R  Freedom of Motion Discussion of abuse of medical restraints http://www.powells.com/essays/saks.html 
"I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, a diagnosis it took me years to accept. I was hospitalized three times for lengthy periods, tied hand and foot to the cold metal of a hospital bed with a net strapped tight across my chest in the psychiatric equivalent of solitary confinement. I was given 'very poor' and 'grave' prognoses. In other words, I was expected to live in a board-and-care facility and work at a menial job when my symptoms allowed.
I am relieved to report that my life has turned out differently. I am a chaired professor of law and psychiatry, an advanced candidate at a psychoanalytic training institute, and author of three books and over thirty scholarly articles. I graduated valedictorian of Vanderbilt University, was named a Marshall scholar and studied at Oxford, and received my degree with honors from Yale Law School. I was named an endowed chair on a prestigious law faculty, the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, at an unusually early point in my career. And I was named an Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine. I am fortunate to have many friends and a bright, loving, and funny husband."

Anderson, Neil T  The Bondage Breaker  http://www.dondickerman.net/id78.html  Common Misconceptions About Bondage - What the early church called demonic activity we now understand to be mental illness  " I heard one counselor argue concerning a demonically disturbed Christian, "There is no way his problem can be demonic; he's a paranoid schizophrenic." Simply accepting secular psychology's definition of a human problem in no way establishes the actual cause of the problem. Terms such as schizophrenia, paranoia, psychosis, etc., are merely labels classifying symptoms. But what or who is causing the symptoms? Is it a neurological or hormonal problem, or perhaps a chemical imbalance? Certainly these options must be explored. But what if no physical cause is found? Then it must be a psychological problem. But which school of psychology do you choose: biblical or secular? And why isn't someone exploring the possibility that the problem is primarily spiritual?"
 
Carrin, Charles   Captivity of the Mind - Spiritually Understanding Abnormal Human Behavior http://www.pneumafoundation.org/article.jsp?article=/CaptivityOfTheMind.xml  
"In my own ministry, the most extreme case I encountered was a young female victim of childhood Satanic Ritual Abuse who had been deliberately made schizophrenic by her Satanist parents and was controlled by them through her alter-ego. One part of this young woman's mind was an educated, trained R.N., and a believing Christian. Her other part was a totally different personality who used an alias name and participated in Satanic behavior. Impossible!, you say. Not so. The Apostle James warned twice about being 'double minded'- a word which In Greek means '2-souls'. As Christians, we see varying degrees of this condition in people who become captive to Satan but refuse to escape his control-even when they have opportunity to do so. In extreme cases, it takes only 3-4 days for the Stockholm syndrome to emerge even when captive and captor are strangers. Bizarre? Yes, but true. According to psychologists, the victimized person bonds to the abuser as a means to endure the violence. A psychotherapist explains, 'When someone threatens your life but doesn't kill you, the relief generates intense feelings of gratitude. This, coupled with fear, makes the captive reluctant to display negative feelings toward their captor. The victims' need to survive is stronger than his/her impulse to hate the person who has created the dilemma.' The victim then comes to see the captor as a 'good guy', even a savior. I have personally met Satanists who insisted that the devil was good." 
(Nonetheless, Jesus continues to restore what the devil has stolen (our sanity), when we give Him permission and cooperation.)
Carrin, Charles  8/2002  VICTIMS OF CHILDHOOD ABUSE - AND GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT      http://www.charlescarrinministries.com/gentleconquest/print/2002/august2002.html  
"Oftentimes, the pain of childhood abuse is so over-whelming that children escape by pushing it completely out of their consciousness. Mentally, they deny it, bury it deep enough that they can no longer remember any of its sordid details.  Subliminally, the pain disappears. In extreme cases, this produces amnesia or schizophrenia. When the Apostle James said, 
A doubled-minded person is unstable in all his ways,  James 1:8, the word used for double-minded in the Greek text is dipsuchos and could also be translated as two-souls.  In English, we call this condition schizophrenia; (schizo=division; phrao=mind) The separation in a person's psyche may become so extreme that separated parts of the mind may no longer communicate with each other.  This may take on the appearance of radically different personalities. Even though hidden, childhood pain can spawn such bizarre psychological and physical symptoms in adult life. Some unidentifiable illnesses and emotional instabilities rise from repressed abuse. Abuse can be sexual, verbal, physical, psychological, or assume a number of other forms. Childhood rejection and neglect frequently lie at the base of adult crisis. In blocking out the pain, the victim sometimes blocks out everything else with it. When I was a pastor and involved with counseling, if a woman told me she had no memory of childhood, I suspected incest. Please know, I never suggested incest. Such suggestions are dangerous. If incest is the cause, the discovery must come through the victim. Not the counselor...
Several years ago, the Holy Spirit showed me that victims of schizophrenia need to have their minds called together.  In quiet, almost whispered ministry, I sat with these people, spoke to that part of  the mind that was in hiding and gently coaxed it to come home.  In those cases, the wounded psyche behaves very much like a frightened child and influencing it sometimes requires great patience. It fears exposure, wants to keep hiding from the original pain, and must be treated tenderly. In this method of ministry, I have seen mental restoration take place. Sometimes it is immediate; other times, restoration comes slowly. But end-results are the same. Individuals who have suffered schizophrenic symptoms for years have had chaos in their minds to disappear and normalcy to return. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. This is true not only of schizophrenics but those fighting other mental abnormalities. In many cases, a malevolent spirit must also be cast out of the victim. That is no problem. Such spirits go at the command of Jesus' Name.  Regardless of the extent of sin and its injury, all who genuinely seek the Lord are set free. The Holy Spirit is eager to cleanse and restore lives...
The victim and I both rely on the (Holy) Spirit's work to uncover the hidden secrets of the heart. Sometimes He discloses the source of conflict through a private word of knowledge, word of wisdom, discerning of spirits, or other spiritual gift...Without such spiritual power we remain severely handicapped. ...Counseling is helpful; avail yourself of it. More importantly, go where the Spirit of God is moving and receive all He has for you. Open to Him like a flower opens to a bee. Let Him do His wondrous work in you. That is what true Christianity is all about."
Carrin, Charles + psychotherapists Donaldson, Dr. Joseph and Dipeolu, Dr. Abiola O.  important editorial http://www.openheaven.com/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=5359&PN=0&TPN=2  8/23/2005
"Years ago a Christian psychotherapist called my office and asked if I would minister to 8 or 10 of her worst patients. These represented a wide spectrum of mental problems. I agreed, set up the appointments, and after hanging up the phone, was angered at myself for accepting the request. I had no experience in this area and had never attempted ministry to patients suffering from schizophrenia and parallel disorders. As the therapist already knew, people battling drug addiction, alcoholism, homosexuality, and similar problems, had experienced successful deliverance under my care. It was for that reason she called. But even with wonderful accomplishments in my past there had been a consistent pattern of failure with certain others. These people seemed to achieve successful deliverance only to discover a short time later that the entire process had to be done again. They could receive freedom but could not keep it. This was the aspect that frightened me about the psychiatric patients.
One memory of failure was especially vivid; it had taken place with an older woman in a high-rise apartment building in Smolensk, Russia. As a child she and her family had narrowly escaped the Nazi massacre in the 2nd World War. Thousands of townspeople had been destroyed. While ministering to her the Holy Spirit came powerfully, she cooperated in every way, earnestly wanted to be set free, and demons manifested in the same pattern described in the ministry of Jesus. But all similarity with Jesus abruptly ended there. We came to an impasse that could not be breached. Some unknown obstruction prevented victory. When neighbors in the building became suspicious at the woman's strange noises, started banging on the door and threatening to call the police, I had to leave. The woman was still in bondage. And I was later told, she had undergone many previous attempts at deliverance but all of them ending in the same unsuccessful way.
A few days later on the train back to Moscow I met the woman's daughter and was told the full story of her mother's harrowing escape from the Nazi bloodbath: Moments after her family's crossing a bridge, the only way out of town, it was bombed leaving everyone else trapped in the city. The townspeople were then herded into an open field and machine-gunned to the ground. That included her relatives and friends. No one escaped. Children and elderly folks, pregnant mothers and grieving husbands, perished alike. As I rode along on the train, listening to the war-story, I was convinced that her mother's failure to receive deliverance was connected to the terror she experienced as a child.
Some may not understand what I mean by 'deliverance.' 30% of Jesus' recorded ministry was spent in rescuing people from unclean spirits. People such as the woman in Luke 11:13 were attacked by spirits of infirmity, others by mental disorder, many more enticed into sin and immorality. Jesus gave authority over demons to the original disciples, then assured future generations, 'These signs will follow those who believe. In my name they will cast out demons.'Mark 16:17 'Deliverance' is the current name given to that ministry. I not only consider myself a 'believer' and possessing authority over demons but for more than 25 years have successfully ministered deliverance to thousands of hurting people. Even so, the psychotherapist's phone call forced me to my knees for new understanding about the 'pattern' of failure I had experienced.
The Holy Spirit answered, impressing me with three specific Scripture subjects and showing their application to the people's needs. Each Bible verse spoke of God's 'regathering' His people. It was a wonderful revelation, one I prize to this day. The Scriptures were:
1. God's restoration of Israel to their land and to His grace: Amos 9:11-15. Romans 11:25-36.
2. The final gathering of the elect: Matthew 24:31.
3. Identification of double-minds and its cure: James 1:7
The Lord then emphasized it was always His purpose to regather His people from wherever they had been scattered.
That applied to nations, families, or individuals, who had become fragmented. Through the prophecy of Amos, God emphasized that He would make a final gathering of Jews to their mother-country. Jesus spoke of a 'gathering' of God's elect and their reunion in Heaven. The Holy Spirit then applied that 'regathering' principle to individuals whose minds had been scattered. It was His will that they come to complete restoration. He then cautioned me that Deliverance Ministry was only the second part of their need. Before anything else, these people needed to have their minds 'called together.'
I will never forget the 1st patient who came, a young woman who had been under psychotherapy for 2 years. In the 1st minutes of ministry the Lord showed me a picture of her as a little girl, probably 4 years old, hiding under an old wicker sofa with her arms and legs locked tightly into its springs and under-structure. She refused to turn loose and come out. And it would have been impossible to remove her without injury. The Lord explained, 'What you are seeing is that part of her mind that is in hiding.' I understood this was a visible picture of schizophrenia. The woman who was sitting in my office was - in part - still a 4 year-old hiding behind the sofa. In that moment, I understood the Apostle James description of a 'double minded' person, James 1:8; 4:8. who is 'unstable in all his ways.' In the Greek text, 'double minded' is translated from dipsuchos, literally, '2 souls' or '2 psyches'. In the woman's case, 2 'souls' (personalities/identities) were living competitively in the same brain angrily refusing to talk to each other. In effect, one part was protecting itself from a fear which no longer existed. The other part had become amnesic to any memory of it. (Sometimes these false personalities are considered to be demons who entered at the time of trauma.)
The woman's need at this point was not deliverance - even though demons seemed to be rampaging. What she needed was for that hidden part of her mind to be coaxed out of hiding. This was key. Non-communicating parts needed to be reconnected. Deliverance ministry at this point might have appeared successful but she would have quickly returned to her tormented state. I remember praying desperately saying, 'Lord, what do we do?!' The answer I received was to speak very lovingly, very reassuringly, to that specific part in hiding, to tell it the danger was gone, it no longer needed to hide, Jesus was now its savior and protector. I was NOT to command it as I would have a demon but to appeal to that tiny, frightened little girl to turn loose of the sofa and come home.
The word 'home' particularly interested me. Further, I was to remind the traumatized part that no one else could fit into that empty place but it. That was its home. And it could fit no where else. It wanted to come home. It was tired of being in hiding. Tired of separation. Tired of loneliness. All those pains would end when it slipped back into place. I would then wait. Repeat the appeal. Coax it by saying, 'Come on home ... you want to ... we will wait ... you don't have to rush ... but you do want to come home ... 'God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power, of love, and a sound mind.'" This process was repeated for the next 2 weeks. Soon afterward I received an excited phone call from the psychotherapist. She said, 'I had that patient for 2 years and achieved nothing. You had her for 2 weeks and she is normal! ... I want to do what you are doing!' The good news is that all of the patients were dramatically helped or completely restored. One even sent a generous check as an expression of gratitude.
But I need to emphasize this point: We ministered deliverance successfully to these patients only after the fragmented condition of their minds had been corrected. I know now that the Russian woman could have been healed, at least dramatically helped, had she received this type of ministry. Can I explain what happened inside these patients' brains? No. Nor am I suggesting I have the cure for mental illness. I do not. Not all mental illness is spiritual in origin. There are many other potential sources. And I still experience failure. What I did worked in these cases. In addressing the question as to why Deliverance Ministry is unsuccessful in untreated schizophrenic patients, it seems that the offending spirit uses the person's mental woundedness as their consent for it to stay. Once the consent-factor has been corrected, the gap closed, the darkness dispelled, the spirit can be forced out. Until this has been done we are wasting our time in attempting deliverance.
Bethesda Hospital in Boynton Beach, my home town, later asked me to conduct weekly worship and ministry sessions to patients in their psychiatric ward. This succeeded well until a patient complained about my using the name 'Jesus' and the hospital (with their personal regrets to me) was forced to cancel the practice. I am well aware that most of the psychiatric world ridicules belief in demons. My grief, however, is not with the medical field but with (much of) the corporate church which refuses to practice the teaching of Jesus! Millions of Christians needlessly suffer from long-term crises because church leadership rejects Jesus' instructions. How many pastors do you know who cast out demons? Microscopically few. On that point, controversy or not, I will yield no ground. I am nearly 75 years old, have been preaching for 56 years, and am a committed disciple of Jesus Christ. He practiced and taught deliverance. I believe it. Since my baptism and renewal in the Holy Spirit 28 years ago, I have witnessed almost all of the New Testament descriptions of demonic manifestations during Deliverance Ministry. And literally thousands have been set free. It is too late to tell me the teachings of Jesus do not work. I've seen them work!
But please hear this: Deliverance Ministry is not a one-time experience. There MUST be follow-up with all patients. Each must be warned that deliverance can bring immediate results but the renewal of their mind is a process. One without the other is not only futile but dangerous. Jesus taught that demons return to unprotected houses. Matthew 12:44. Everyone undergoing this type of ministry must defend themselves from spiritual re-infestation. They MUST become active in a full-gospel church, stay in fellowship with other believers, daily nurture themselves in the Scripture, and maintain a loving relationship with the Lord. This is absolutely mandatory.
2 of my psychotherapist friends share their opinion regarding this approach to ministry.
Abiola Dipeolu, Ph.D
As a licensed psychologist for over 6 years and now teaching at a university, I have had experiences with patients with high recidivism rate (Pedophilia and Axis II disorders, etc.), for whom psychology seems to offer little hope. About 10 years ago, I came across Brother Carrin's newsletter and through the years gleaned from its pages helpful principles of kingdom living. His teachings on 're-gathering the mind,' 'homecoming,' and 're-infestation' appear to be God given keys of kingdom living. *Jesus talks about the keys of the kingdom. What are these keys? These are the keys that would open the doors that hitherto have been closed to difficult cases in psychology; if only we could appropriate them. Psychology does not have access to these keys because they are available only to the children of the kingdom. Until now, the doors to the kingdom have pretty much been closed to these individuals. However, with these keys, they will finally be re-gathered home to stay. *Matthew 16:19
Joseph Donaldson, Ph.D.
When Brother Carrin came to the aid of the Christian psychotherapist, he was probably unaware that many experienced and skilled psychotherapists perform as mirrors for their patients. I am a certified clinical psychotherapist practicing for 7 years. When reflecting patient's verbal and nonverbal behaviors; some improve dramatically in therapy. However, when one considers severe mental disorders such as Schizophrenia, Multiple Personality (now called Dissociative Identity Disorder), and others, facilitating positive change can be quite elusive. What brother Carrin describes with concepts such as 're-gathering the mind,' preventing re-infestation, and 'homecoming' goes a step further. During his work with the therapist's patients, he was able to mirror the Holy Spirit. Essentially, Brother Carrin found a way for the Holy Spirit to confront the person's mental and emotional demons which resulted in their not only being healed, but delivered, and eventually freed.
(Carrin's)Personal note; because of my travel schedule I am no longer available for private ministry. If you need help, take this information to your pastor and ask his aid. If he refuses, ask him again. Should he continue to decline, find some true believer who will come to your rescue. Most importantly, remember that you, as a believer, can minister to others. For further information, visit my website at www.CharlesCarrinMinistries.com  and read related articles linked to the home page entitled 'Deliverance Ministry'. God bless you!

REJECTION can be a root cause of
schizophrenia.
Rebellion can also be a root cause of schizophrenia.  Rebellion is a negative response/reaction to hurt.  Resentment becomes hatred and hatred becomes rebellion.  Scripture says in 1st Samuel that rebellion is equivalent to witchcraft, which God hates.
Repent of, reject, refuse to hold bitterness/hurt in your heart resulting from rejection by any individual.  Forgive each incident/act.
If you can bless (pray for) those who have rejected you, then you can know you are on the mend.
Chapter 2 The Causes of Rejection
"I believe the devil has some foreknowledge.  He knows God wants to use you and he has struck his blow first...a twisted compliment.  It means that Satan is afraid of what you can become in Christ.  so do  NOT be discouraged."
Chapter 5 The Ultimate Rejection  "For some, the  simple declaration (out loud) of acceptance in Christ and the fatherhood of God resolves the problem of  rejection."
Chapter 6 How to Apply the Remedy  "Jesus prayed...'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing' (Luke 23:34)...Why do I need to forgive...?  Whether he is dead or alive is NOT important.  It is for your sake that you are forgiving, not for the other person...The failure to forgive is one of the most common barriers to God's blessing...Forgiveness is NOT an emotion; it is a decision."
"Accept yourself.  Sometimes this is the hardest step of all.  I tell Christians, 'Never belittle yourself.  Never criticize yourself.  You did not make yourself.  God made you'...You can no longer evaluate yourself on the basis of the way you lived before...As you repeatedly  declare who you are in Christ according to God's Word, you will begin to override the old negative self-talk and learn to accept yourself."
"It is time now for you to claim your release and pray a prayer that will set the seal...
Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that You are the Son of God and the only way to God.  You died on the cross   for my sins, and You rose again from the dead.  I repent of all my sins, and I forgive every other person as I would have God forgive me.  I forgive all those who have rejected me, hurt me and failed to show me love, Lord, and I trust You to forgive  me. 
I believe, Lord, that You do accept me...
Now Lord, I proclaim my release from any dark, evil spirit that has taken advantage of the wounds in my life.  I release my spirit to rejoice in You.  In Your precious name, Amen....
(Ignore any and all negative feelings/manifestations that the enemy may exhibit.)
Thanking God (out loud) sets the seal on your release."

Abram Hoffer's biography Remembering Humphry Osmond: A  Pioneer in Orthomolecular Medicine in the 2004 Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine clarifies how a minimum of 1 mg of vitamin B3 with meals may slow down the formation of adrenalin by attaching to methyl groups needed to form adrenalin, thus decreasing methyl groups available for noradrenalin, thus decreasing the formation of adrenalin (noradrenalin + methyl groups = adrenalin).  Reducing substances, such as ascorbic acid, vitamin C, glutathione, N acetyl cysteine, & vitamin E) inhibit the oxidation of adrenalin to the hallucinogenic indole adrenochrome.  Glutathione (glutamic acid + cysteine + glycine) is especially effective because it neutralizes adrenochrome.  Vitamin B3 also increases the natural production of body glutathione.  www.orthomed.org   centre@orthomed.org   1-416-733-2117

Hoffer, a psychiatrist aged 87, is the father of orthomolecular medicine, at least for schizophrenia. 
It is he who pioneered the use of vitamin B3 for psychiatric disease and paranoia.  All his patients,
who were/are faithful to his nutritional regimen, were/are able to work, earn an income, and pay taxes.

Schizophrenia sometimes means split-personality or split mind. 
The Japanese have renamed this illness to reflect this concept.  One theory for the cause/trigger
is that a confidence is shared with a person who is emotionally not ready to receive that insight,
especially from a mother to a daughter.

Holliday, Pat         Family Deliverance Manual #1&#2      booklet/outline     www.patholliday.com
Manual #2 addresses schizophrenia.  Numerous ministries suggest that schizophrenia may be genetic,
and/or an inherited spirit of double-mindedness, and/or a split personality. 
Holliday advocates the beliefs of William Menzies Alexander in that there is a new demon
controlled/driven personality(s) acting out in the schizophrenic individual. 
Holliday contends there are likely 2 major demons (with underlings) = rejection and/or rebellion. 
Rebellion
may allow a secret/other self to express a personality other that an individual's former self.  
It may be a form of self defense against rejection.  For instance, self rejection may have such a grip on
one as to reject one's sexual identity, creating a split personality or divided self.
The spirit of rejection causes one to reject themselves, to reject God, to isolate, to reject God,
to become unstable, to act compulsively, to have an impaired memory, to have a divided heart (tottering between what God says and Satan says who one is - despised or loved), and to thus be double-minded.
Holliday also notes scripture makes a difference between being possessed by a demon and possessing
a demon.  Note that the Greek translation should be demonization, rather than possession, in most
instances.

I treated these attacks as if they were hurled at me by our archenemy, Satan himself. 'I will take no more of this harassing,' I said to myself. But what to do? Every bit of analytical skill I had employed previously to design exotic computer systems, I now applied to the solution of this problem. I tried many things, but the most effective and dependable solution became a combination of physical exercise and simple prayer. I learned that I must never allow the distress to assume full-blown proportions. At the slightest indication of agitation, I headed for the swimming pool and swam vigorously. Prayer was generally limited to saying the name of Jesus over and over again. Sometimes I said the name of Jesus in combination with someone else’s name I felt to be in distress. The tension was generally over in about 30 minutes.  Realizing that I was not completely helpless was the beginning of rebuilding a new healthy will."

1984 1986 Sheldon Press - Purchase from www.marianland.com or 1-800-647-9882 Queenship Publishing -
McAll believed in healing masses where one identifies family sin/sinners and confesses those
ancestor's/family sins.  He believed in praying for the dead, but not to the dead,
which is forbidden in scripture.  Repentance for a particular sin in the family tree,
often results in the healing of family diseases including schizophrenia.
Kenneth McAll English psychiatrist in Healing the Haunted, Chapter The Healing Eucharist
notes that schizophrenics have been healed during a healing mass (Christian/Catholic).

James and Tina Stacey oversee the ministry of PUSH. They came by the name PUSH in that each letter in
P-U-S-H gives HUGE INSIGHT into how Christians need to realize that demonic strongholds need to have persistent prayer launched against those strongholds UNTIL those demonic strongholds are torn down by
God. In PUSH - P stands for PRAY. U stands for UNTIL. S stands for SCHIZOPHRENIA. H stands for HEALS,
or HEALING.
Though the ministry of PUSH has originated out of James deliverance from 26 years of being held in the
demonic bondage of Schizophrenia ... PUSH applies to EVERY area of bondage a Christian encounters.
Prayer is not something we always do just ONE TIME and assume that is enough for God to get the job done. Some demonic strongholds in a persons life needs MANY people praying down that stronghold, and not QUIT persistent praying until the stronghold is torn down in the spirit realm. Other times it DOES involve mostly
just the person who is being inflicted with demonic harrasment, and that person needs to realize that PERSISTING PRAYER until total deliverance and healing comes is absolutely NECESSARY to be set free. Sometimes even FASTING is required along with prayer to break a demonic stronghold in a person or
situation, and so being in tune with the Holy Spirit is crucially important in each and EVERY situation when
we engage demonic forces who are trying to put us in bondage, or keep us in bondage.  Book Schizophrenia Defeated  excerpt http://www.schizophreniadefeated.com/6.html

Scripture
God's thoughts revealed in scripture help expose evil spirits affecting mental illness.

 
Matthew 12:43-45 NIV    "When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking
rest and does not find it.  Then it says, 'I will return to the house (person) I left.'  When it arrives,
it finds the house unoccupied (by the Holy Spirit), swept clean and put in order. 
Then it goes and takes with it 7 other spirits more wicked than itself; they go in and live there. 
The final condition of that man is worse than the first."
(Spiritual insight=With the Holy Spirit as tenant in our body we are "possessed" by Him. 
With an evil spirit as tenant in our body, we are in "oppressed" from within and without.)  
Matthew  17:20-21 KJV of New Testament Greek scripture   
I (Jesus the Christ) say to you, "This kind does not go out, except by prayer and FASTING."
1st John 4:2-6 TPNT  2You can know the Spirit of God by this, 'Every (human) spirit that declares that
Jesus Messiah has come in the flesh is from God
; 3every (human or demonic) spirit that does NOT acknowledge Jesus is not from God; this is the anti-Messiah (nature/spirit), the one that you have heard is coming and now he is already in the world.  5These are from the world, because of they they are speaking
from the world and the world listens to them.  6We are from God; the one who knows God listens to us;
who is not from God does not listen to us.  By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error."
James 1:8 KJVer  A double-minded (soul/personality) man is unstable in all his ways.
James 4:7-8 TPNT  7If you would be subject to God, you should RESIST the DEVIL
and he will FLEE for-his-life from you. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 
Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded!
 
Heidler, Robert  The Messianic Church Arising  www.glory-of-zion.org  Appendix 3, part 2 - The Feast of Pentecost (Open Heavens)  "Schizo is a Greek word that means, 'to rend, tear violently, open or unfold'...
In Mark 1:10 when, at the baptism of Jesus, the heavens were 'torn open' (schizo) and the (Holy) Spirit descended...
As John and Cheryl are driving into Middletown for a prophetic conference, God writes SCHIZO across the
sky."(Since Satan is a counterfeiter, he will attempt to copy in a destructive way what good God is doing.)
