Kinkajou : Nutritional treatments are well known in the non-medical community but are generally not well accepted by the medical fraternity. 

Dr. Xxxxx : The Paill Spectrum predicts the finding of previously unknown and unrecognized symptoms such as dyslexic language problems, mood problems, memory problems, growing pains, balance problems and other symptoms.

Dr. Xxxxx : Tell me more about treating Psychosis in PaillSpectrum.

Dr. Xxxxx :
Medications for mood and behavioural problems achieve very little in the long term, being predominantly symptomatic. Going Nowhere in Circles.
Brain Damage has occurred and is occurring. It is this process that needs to be altered.

Simply put, the symptoms a patient has depends on which parts of the brain are affected and to what extent. It is almost not worth focusing on the symptoms a person has. What is far more important is the process that is doing the damage.

  Erasmus : The Paill Spectrum model predicts that substantial benefit can occur in a person's clinical state. The word "cure" is best not used for a number of reasons.

Over the Counter meds: but which ones and for what reason?

Dr. Xxxxx : No. I think you cannot undo brain damage. As I see it, the goal is to alter the extent and severity of the process progressively doing the damage.

Dr. Xxxxx : Genetic Factors in the Schizophrenic Disorders

There is a familial increased risk amongst siblings (brothers and sisters), of affected individuals.  However, the pattern of inheritance is complex or polygenic.  No single gene or group of genes appears to confer risk for appearance / progression of symptoms.

Paill Spectrum as the basic damage mechanism for the Psychoses, of course shows the  same pattern of genetic risk in the development of the disorder. The genetic involvement can be readily predicted from the risk factors for Paill Spectrum disease progression.

There are no gene defects known to cause Schizophrenia. That is because Schizophrenia is not due to genetic defects. Normal people have normal kids who develop problems due to agents to which they are exposed. Bad luck of course , but nutrition has a major role to play in underlining genetic susceptibilities.

The Paill Spectrum model would predict that psychiatric medications may improve the clinical features, but not the prognosis of the disorder. Modern medicines used today for Schizophrenia are little better than symptom patch ups.
The responses to the medications are variable with no alteration in long term prognosis in most of the studies done.  Exactly as the Paill Spectrum model of this disease would predict. 

  Pills - for ills?

Dr. Xxxxx : Tracking Illness Response to Treatment in the Paill Spectrum Model

Other symptoms of Paill Spectrum will often be found if searched for.  Distinct blood test changes will also be found.  Patients respond to both nutritional and antibiotic therapies. 

Relying solely on antibiotic therapy is unwise with Paill Spectrum.  

The Paill Spectrum model of disease as developed by Dr. Xxxxx suggests that current psychiatric medications may assist with some of the behavioural quirks associated with the conditions, in giving symptomatic relief in much the same way that Paracetamol (Panadol) gives relief from headaches or fever.  The medications make behaviours rapidly better.  The psychiatric medications do not change the progress of the Schizophrenia symptoms and do not change the progression of the medical problems.

There is a large body of medical research that has found that many of the psychoactive (psychiatric) medications do not change prognosis for people with behavioural disorders such as Schizophrenia, in the long term. 

 One largely ignored therapy is the use of Essential Fatty Acids.  There is a good body of evidence advising the use of Omega-3 (Omega 3) and Omega-6 (Omega 6) oils over prolonged periods of time.  The work is often ignored, as many doctors are not very comfortable in the use of nutritional therapies. This type of treatment also takes very long periods of time to be effective. If you do the right treatment for a long time, there are often noticeable improvements.

Herbal and Nutritional meds are slow to work but in the long term make a huge difference to your medical condition.

Between today and next week, likely the treatment with Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils will make no noticeable difference at all. These "essential oils" need to be used in a specific protocol/ specific combinations for optimal efficiency.

Symptomatic medications achieve better quick symptom responses and so are more often used in therapy. The problem is that the studies do not show any long term benefit with long term treatment by symptomatic medications. Again, exactly as the Paill Spectrum model would predict.

Dr. Xxxxx : Treatment of Psychoses & Behavioural Disorders in the Paill Spectrum Model

In the Paill Spectrum model, treatment comes as a package deal.  All of the types of nutritional and antibiotic therapy are critical to the long-term treatment success.  Bizarre events may occur with treatment, though predominantly with second line therapies such as the more powerful specific antibiotics . Delayed post antibiotic effects occurring at 3-9 months after antibiotic treatment may not even be recognized as being long term post treatment effects by almost all doctors.

The therapies promoted on this web site are freely promoted because they are the safest first line treatments that can change the course of the Paill Spectrum illness causing the Schizophrenia  like symptoms.  

The Paill Spectrum model of disease as developed by Dr. Xxxxx suggests that these are signposts on the road to recovery, not as reasons to abandon treatment. The key with the Paill Spectrum model is knowing what to expect and why. The model predicts these events well

  Herbal and Nutritional meds are slow to work but in the long term make a huge difference to your medical condition.

Dr. Xxxxx : Suggested Basic Treatment:
Natural Health Strategies

Multivitamin: One daily: must contain B12, Folate and Zinc. Using a multivitamin is important: If you have a deficiency of B12 or Folate especially- your immune system can be compromised.

Zinc: One pill daily or twice daily, each pill containing 20-30mg of elemental zinc which is equivalent to 200-300mg of zinc commonly as amino acid chelate. These two sets of numbers are equivalent. They summarise the same dose. One method just weighs the zinc. The other method weighs the zinc and the chemical packing: giving bigger numbers - but of course the same amount of zinc.

You can do one bottle of 200 pills and usually 2 bottles of 200 pills without worrying about excess absorption. Zinc is very poorly absorbed by the body and almost everyone in typical western societies is zinc deficient.

Use high-dose zinc and vitamin C. An Adult can take up to 9 zinc pills a day (short-term) if they should choose to try to enhance the action of their immune system – to try to reduce infection. Take this as 3 pills @ 3 times a day with food.
Zinc is very poorly absorbed. The vitamin C taken with each lot of zinc pills will help absorption. Zinc comes as 20 to 30 mg “elemental” pills. This means that the amount of zinc “metal” in each zinc pill weighs approximately 20 to 30 mg.
Another way of describing these pills is that the pills are 200 to 300 mg of zinc as an amino acid chelate.
This is exactly the same as the 20 to 30 mg of elemental zinc. In one method of weighing the pill, we just weigh the zinc metal. In the other way of weighing the pill, we weigh the zinc and its chemical packing. These 2 sets of numbers essentially represent the same sized pill.

Essential Oils:
Take Omega 3 (Fish oil) capsules and Omega 6 (Evening Primrose) capsules in a ratio of 2-3:1.
The fish oil can be taken as odorless as the active ingredient of fish oil capsules is odorless and tasteless. The ratio is important.
Once or even twice daily. Higher doses will work faster as the body needs to be saturated with this ingredient to achieve the effect.

So again take 2-3 fish oil capsules with one (1) evening primrose capsule once or twice a day. Twice a day is better. The capsules do not need to be swallowed whole. They can be cut open and mixed with food. Do not heat excessively as this is likely to break up the unsaturated oil structure.

Finally, Consider Wheat or gluten reduced diet. For most people a gluten reduced diet achieves the goals and complete gluten exclusion to extent of a celiac diet is unnecessary.

• No wheat bread: dark rye bread is ok as is gluten free bread. (Gluten free bread is generally not too popular)
• No wheat pasta: gluten free pasta or rice pasta is ok
• No wheat cereals:  Corn cereals are ok such as corn flakes, Rice cereals are ok such as Rice Bubbles or Cocoa Pops, Oat cereals are Ok.
• No biscuits and pastries except gluten free pastries. If you like your sweets; chocolate is ok, jelly lollies and hard sweets are ok, fruit is ok, syrups are ok and dairy and ice cream are ok. Just beware as many people who have gluten issues often have lactose issues with dairy as well.

  Wheat- maybe not such a nice treat,, if you are allergic or sensitive to gluten. Some sources mention 1/3 of the population may be gluten sensitive.

In general the more illness symptoms you or your child has, the more likely they are to have gluten intolerance and to have a more severe form Of gluten intolerance. Cause and effect.

Gluten intolerance also causes vitamin and mineral malabsorption issues hence the need for vitamin supplements though increasing vitamin levels will still likely improve immune functions even in normal people.
