We all have heard about “chemical imbalance” and other reasons for various mental health issues. But is this phrase truly scientific or just another way to market pharmaceuticals? And if the psychiatrists admitted that the medications favored are of little or no use, they would also have to admit that they do not know how to cure those who suffer with a mental illness.
Managing mental issues just does not seem to be an acceptable answer in this century. Managing with drugs, stuffed animals, or any of the popular and profitable management techniques do not seem to address the root cause. Finding and affectively treating the root cause of a mental illness assures the patient that the illness is much like the surgical removal of a diseased organ, cured.
So, is there a root cause and curative treatment for schizophrenia? Dr. Clancy McKenzie believes he can mathematically and scientifically prove the cause and cure for this devastating mental illness.
Therapies such as “inner child”, “talk”, “art”, “hypnotherapy”, “light”, “laughter”, “music”, “primal”, “dance” and “wilderness” therapies are popular treatments being used by therapists to treat mental illness. These forms of therapies profess to encourage self-exploration, to express feelings, helps patients to relax, reduces stress, and may allow the patient to re-experience pain. But, do these therapies get to the root of the patient’s mental health issues?
Schizophrenia is a mental illness currently treated with chemicals by mainstream physicians. Articles and clinicians would have us believe that this illness is poorly understood and requires a lifetime of pharmaceutical treatment.
But is this based on science? Do the chemicals actually treat the root cause of this mental illness? At best, the substances currently being used to “treat” this mental illness simply mask the symptoms that are associated with schizophrenia.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the illness labeled as schizophrenia is described as “a chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. People with schizophrenia may seem like they have lost touch with reality. Although schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders, the symptoms can be very disabling.”*3
One list catalogs 49 pharmaceuticals that are commonly used under the guidelines of treatment for schizophrenia.*4 Many of these drugs have side effects that include, but not limited to, anxiety, depressed mood, suicidal thoughts, uncontrolled muscle movements, breathing difficulties, low blood count, and convulsions. But, do these preparations manage or cure schizophrenia?
While the common consensus is that there is no “cure” for schizophrenia, there is hope for “recovery’.*5

The Prevalence Rate for schizophrenia is approximately 1.1% of the population over the age of 18 (source: NIMH) or, in other words, at any one time as many as 51 million people worldwide suffer from schizophrenia -- http://schizophrenia.com/szfacts.htm
