Tips for recovery from schizophrenia

[@JungleJargon]

Congratulations on your continued success. I had a severe case of schizophrenia. I found out that my hallucinations retreated off into the background when I got into an argument. This gave me the idea to ignore and not believe in my hallucinations delusions and symptoms. This meant that I had to change everything that I was believing so I had to change all my habits of thought. To make a long story short, the hallucinations delusions and symptoms gradually went away and never came back. I just retired from a 30 year career. I never did take any medication.

[@gyincsseyopn78904]

What were your symptoms?

[@SpookyKabuki2.0]

I am so glad you recovered from Schizophrenia. You took the steps to recovery and pulled through. I do not have Schizophrenia, I have Bipolar 2, and am on my way to recovery from this diagnosis. I have done a lot of what you had said in your video. You are amazing, and my heart overflows with joy for you.

[@anniealex7965]

How will u make out whether one is having schizophrenia or Bipolar? Could you please tell me the medication you have taken or taking for bipolar? Thank you.🙏

As someone who suffers from schizophrenia, I would like to say that I am very glad I found your channel. It is almost impossible to find KZbin videos or any information online from people who actually deal with what I deal with. I also really like your scientific approach. Thank you for everything

I just want gluten free. It has helped alot. Added zinc supplementation to my complete tip sheet too.

[@sageisnotaplant99]

I will

I took only the standard doses of each listed below (AL CAR< ala, and co q 10. IF for example the alpha lipoic acid came in 50 mg size, I only took that. If acetyl L carnitine came in 500 mg size, I only took that. It really did seem to work. Thanks for youor videos. They are very informative and supportive too.

this is so informative , I'm diagnosed twice last year, of course i was in denial and coffee resulted my first psychosis paranoia. it's last about 3months and i was looking for exorcism and during that period i made some weird decisions like move away from certain region. city life really stressd me out. just currently i starts to accepting the fact. that i am schizophrenic.

I'm suffering from sz from 6 years i have gotten 3 major episode and 1 minor episode of sz... I have started taking ayurvedic treatment to boost my brain functioning and it have helped me. I'm grateful to have found your channel.

What ayurvedic treatment you took can you share ?

@@MatthewPierce hey you are misunderstood because my talking style is like this way because of my symptoms... I don't understand the nuances of what's relevant to say or not ... I assume you are well aware about this ... And even English is not my first language that's why misunderstanding is bound to happen... Well my point was I need reasoning over this ayurvedic old school way of improving cognition in scientific terms ... And there was no need to be proactive and intolerant about this ... Again I don't want to hurt anybody with my words...cuz it's not fun to do

Your forgiven@@enlightenedmf:) just try to be more considerate, clear, and community minded going forward- - -

Hey, thanks for your videos. I suffer from schizophrenia but have been off medication for about 6 months now. None of the positive symptoms have returned but I still lack emotions and have a difficult time learning stuff (programming for example, which I was always very interested in). I'll try some of the things you mentioned in this video and hopefully it will get better.

Keeping occupied is important for mental health. Also IF your overweight i would recommend counting colories in a app. Then doing some cardio for the 30% brain power boost.

[@tysonmikel9222]

Did u come off with doctors permission or on your own? Doctors want to take away my license if I come off meds..I plan to just get the pills and not take them.

Would u like to chat about going off meds now ? I don't have much patient experience but it may be useful to chat

Long hair helps with ears been closed. I think having a beard should help with eyes. I notice that the left eye on people with some mental disorder is always scanning for threats, prismatic glasses should help, but it is a hard alternative. Long hair is great to limiting eyesight field of view. The problem with eyes been locked for too long is that it causes tiredness over the body, try EMDR free sessions on KZbin for relief of eyeballs. Fill the enviroment with stuff help with echoing sounds. Get rid of plagues like rats and insects tends to stop with annoing sounds that take concentration off. Every one is living a mental disorder, but many blame spiritual realm, blame politics, blame parents, blame economics. The thing is, thinking about the thinking process is the worst way of deal with any issue.

[@Redemption444]

Hey Matthew, do you know of any supplements for medications to help one feel joy or laugh more? I think increasing my dose of antipsychotic could help but I don’t like the side effects that come with it.

[@MatthewPierce]

I did a video on depression u could try some of those tips. Antipsychotics often do act as mood stabilizers making u feel less sadness and joy (and anger). Check out the blog for updated tips//

[@MatthewPierce]

I hope some of those tips help ___

[@Redemption444]

I’ve heard of people healing this using the gaps diet but I’m not sure

[@MatthewPierce]

Yes, I think this diet would definitely help. I do list many diet ideas in the full tip list: schizoprevent.blogspot.com/2021/03/strategies-for-improving-schizophrenia.html I don't think there have been any studies done on the GAPS diet and schizophrenia yet, but if one was done it would likely cause some improvement.

Have you heard of sarcosine? it’s a byproduct of glycine that works on NMDA receptors. It shown to have benefit for positive and negative symptoms.

[@MatthewPierce]

Looks great. Id give it a try. I tried zinc similar action. It helped. Sodium benzoate also similar. I looked at hyper dosing glycine seemed like little effect. Sarcosine. Looked at 3 studies 30% improvement cogitive negative positive. One study showed little effect on positive. 2 grams a day 6 weeks most studies.

I found eliminating refined sugar from my entire diet got rid of anxiety I had been experiencing with sz. I had found this idea on videos about sugar and OCD. It worked for me. Worth a try for anyone who has anxiety. Didn't try gluten free diet yet.

In other words I only took one tablet or capsule of each every morning. I didn't overload any supplement.

[@MatthewPierce]

I was obsessed with anti aging for a while. Followed aubrey de grey, read transcend 9 steps to living well forever, subscribed to the church of perpetual life on youtube where bill faloon speaks about health. Joe rogan and mel gibson talked stem cells he also talked to david sinclair about extending life. Maybe its a different angle then u take on the concept

Thank you man, it’s helpful! For the tips, ehh. Sometimes like to use a small stepper for feet if I’m unable to go outside to workout, even 10 mins helps. And found these small brain games by company smart games. Also random memory board games are dope

[@debrajanzen6661]

I found acetyl-L carnitine, alpha lipoic acid and coenzyme q 10 helpful. I think scientists are leaning toward it being a mitochondrial disease or it has a dysfunctional mitochondrial system, and I was able to reduce my meds during the time I took those supplements and got through a difficult scholastic program. It really boosted my brain power. They can be expensive but I think I'm going to go back on them. Worth a try. Thanks for your videos. I appreciate that you have done the research and give how much the PAN score raised. BTW I took those supplements (mentioned above) for anti-aging :) but they worked for my brain..

[@sailtheendless8276]

Hi, thanks for sharing this vid, it is helpful :) just wanted to say that I have tried niacin treatment and that it works for a short period of time and can feel like a real blessing to have (if you are used to chronic schizophrenia) it does however have the side effects of blushing/ skin irritation and should not be continued if you have stomach pains. But yeah, I found it to be a blessing when things got too much for me.

[@sailtheendless8276]

Also i was reading up last night and there is more evidence that schizophrenia is linked to the gut. So things like fermented foods and probiotics as well as cutting out sugar could be helpful :)

Well. Theres not much. Probiotics Likely helps bowel movements May help positive symptoms in men without yeast infection of C. albicans in gut. 20% improvement One case study showed improvement to negative symptoms using a different probiotic to other study.
