This is another first-rate reply; I wish we had more like this on our
list. Thanks for all of this.
I am not a medical researcher, but I will take the liberty of passing
on a personal speculation that I think in time may be proved by
someone, somewhere: electrical therapy, long known to be useful in
treating depression, works because it kills or debilitates pathogens
that cause the affective disorder. Some clinicians now, I read, have
replaced the old, horrifyingly massive electro-convulsive methods with
much milder and longer series of electro-shock.
When I read this, Bob Beck's therapeutic regimen came to mind
immediately, along with my little speculation, which of course is far
below the standard of being called a hypothesis.
Some members might want to keep the idea in mind and see whether it
eventually come to correspond with any clinical experiments. If it
does, it might turn out that techniques some of our list members use
may have mental health benefits.

Dr. Abram Hoffer, MD, PhD has been curing schizophrenia for over 50
years with diet and mega doses of Vitamin CJ, & niacin. The treatment
has been more refined over the years and many other physicians are now
treating schizophrenia using the same methods. Food allergies and
part of the protocol and are quite often passed down genetically.
If I remember correctly and well, Dr. Torrey showed me some of his
closed mind to Hoffer's ideas and experience in a personal note to me
some years ago. I found that quite interesting given he was into
research.
He may be somewhat correct about infections and it is interesting how
Dr. Hoffer can cure schizophrenia with good nutrition, some diet
restriction and his mega vitamins. Dr. Hoffer was considered a
partner and friend by Dr. Linus Pauling so methinks Dr. Hoffer is not
too far off. I personally know three people helped using Dr. Hoffer's
protocol and have a film with Dr. Hoffer and cured patients. This all
despite Dr. Torrey's closed mind to these ideas.

Ronald Dishinger, a former teacher at Juilliard School of Music cured
his son with Dr. Hoffer's methods and has written a great book. The

Dear Catherine,
You are evidently much better informed about this topic than I am.
Good for you, and thanks for your elaboration.
All the same, I urge list members to read the entire "Science"
section of the December 2005 issue of Esquire: there is much of
value there, not only the article about Dr. E. Fuller Torrey's
theories about schizophrenia. The theme is "America's Best and
Brightest." It's well worth the news stand price of $3.50.
BTW, Torrey gets no dough from Uncle Sam: a wealthy donor enabled
him to devote his life to his studies.
I personally believe Torrey, and others who claim an infectious cause
for most undiagnosed and untreatable afflictions, will be vindicated
within 20 years.
In the meanwhile, ordinary persons are left to their own devices.
Hence, useful information aimed at a lay audience is priceless. Few
of us have the time or resources to delve into the medical >> literature.
Cordially,
JBB

kept in the house pose risks to their owners.>>
