Coma Therapy

"Sleep, perchance to dream."
William Shakespeare

Has anyone tried Coma therapy for Jani--6 year old schizophrenic with psychosis so severe that massive doses of '(antipsychotic) medications seem to skip over her'.

If you can't part with her for a while try three day increments.

Her Cats and Rats are probably how this 6 year old is communicating that she is having difficulty reconciling her high intelligence with her sensual (sense-u-all) side.It would be unkind to continue with adult medications that are probably doing more harm than good and certainly stay away from stuff like electro-shock therapy, that would be just plain cruel and stupid.

And we all know that you can't fix stupid.

If her psychosis is as severe as described in this LA Times article, her brain is probably speeding along faster that the speed of light and would welcome a restful induced sleep and holiday from the drug interactions that are probably ravaging her developing mind.

Hypocrite or Hippocratic

I recently came across the published treatise "Invisible Killers: The Truth About Environmental Genocide" by Rik J. Deitch and MD Stewart Lonky and was bewildered with one of the author's involvement in putting it into print.

In fact, the Maxie Time diary refers to an instance wherein the patient pointedly asks the doctor to assess the possibility that she had suffered a toxic exposure, leading to multiple chemical sensitivity (August 21, 1996) and he replied, "That's a controversial issue, asthma is less so."

Simply amazing what a decade of denial can do; let the statute of limitations run out--or is the reader to conclude that the government along with the medico-legal community want to be trendy (a la Al Gore) and are now comfortable extolling the truth about environmental toxic exposure.

At any rate, while the book is presented by two experts, the subject of "those blonde guys walking around" is carefully avoided--now that would have made for some really interesting reading!
