THIS IS A MATTER FOR
r�RECORD PURPOSES ONLY
NO BOARD ACTION WAS TAKEN
Wednesday,
March 10, 1999
Waugh Auditorium
1800 M Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C.
The proceeding in the above--entitled matter was reconvened, pursuant to Notice, at 9:06
a.m.
BEFORE: CU rBERTO GARZA
Chairman
PR,O rEEDTNGS
(9-.06 a.m.)
CHAIRMAN GARZA: We avant to congratulate all the committee members on getting in
here, With no cabs, that's a real testament to everyone's commitment, to say nothing of all
of you who have came to join the committee. That's a real testament of your commitment
as well, although I understand from Shanthy that the roads in Washington, D.C. are
deserted. Another way one can stop government. Two inches of snow. Unfortunately, it
serves to reconfirm the prejudices that many of us have about government.
All right, were going to try and work today through lunch again because there are several
that would like to be able to make 2:00, or get to the airport around 2:00, so that if we can
do this officially,, we'll try to do it. Probably make a decision somewhere around 10, so we
don't get quite a frantic about trying to get lunch brought in and perhaps we could arrange
for our conference room to have lunch quickly, so that we are not always in the same room
throughout the whole period. People got cabin fever yesterday, I think, with a marathon.
But that's the general schedule.
What rd like to be able to accomplish before getting to the working group reports is have a
general discussion for about 15 - 28 minutes, leading with how you feet based on the
exchanges we had in the last two days, we aught to be configuring the guidelines,
regardless of the number we come up with, whether you feel there are major changes to
the general configuration. We've had several groups that testified on Monday suggests that
In fact we ought to consider some type of tier system to make it easier for consumers to be
able to assimilate the information that we give them.
Others, however, I think the American Dietetic Association in particularly, testified that in
fact they feel that all the guidelines should be given equivalent weight, and that a tier

DR. S AMPI«ER, I'm--I have serious doubts as to whether the aim of achieving the
guidance that you talked about--you had a very elegant phrase for it,but giving people
alternatives and that sort of thing__ can actually square well with the food guide pyramid.
I thinly the way that the food guide pyramid is constructed it is set forth in a very
prescriptive way. Choose two to three servings of dairy, choose two to three servings of
the quote"meat group," and I don't know if the—I certainly agree with your goal about
relaxing the prescriptive nature,but the way it's set up now it's_-I dont know if it really
can, if we can use that as the guide if we really want to change that tone.
And,in particular, what's wrung-with the pyramid?I think there are several things wrong
with it. it advocates a high carbohydrate, low fat diet with the carbohydrate at the base
without attention to the quality of the carbohydrate. We know that this kind of pattern can
lead to metabolic disorders and increased clinical outcomes. it advocates meat and animal
products, and it puts meat together with fish,beans and nuts in one group without regard
to the different health effects of those-- of those foods. It advocates restriction of
polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. It includes potatoes as a mor vegetable. I
think there are some serious flaws in the pyramid, and I think we should be cautious about
using that as-a basis for our recommendation,
CHAIRMAN C=A.RZA:Remember that the pyramid is based on the dietary guidelines in
past.. To the extent that the guidelines change,the pyramid will have to change, and that
Suzanne also said that in fact they 'wrould be giving alternatives within the text so that if,
for example, someone wants to meet their calcium needs with other than lactose- r
contaWng foods, then that would be included.
I don't know whether any icon would be able to satisfy the bread needs of every single
eating pattern in the country. If I go to my own region, I'd like to see a tortilla there
instead of perhaps a glass of milk. There is just as much calcium, but.not everybody enjoys
them as much as I do.
DR, GRUNDY: Do they have tortillas up in New York?
CHAIRMAN GALA; Actually, they do;very goad ones.
(Laughter,)
CHAIRMAN GARZA: I think they import there from Texas. They are good. We get
them flcawn in actually, but that's another story.
(Laughter.)
CHAIRMAN GARZA. So I think that's--i didn't see anything incompatible with what
you were saying in terms of trying to recognize some of the shortcoming and the options
that Suzanne was offering us.
Did I misunderstand what you were saying?
3DR.. MURPHY: No, and I'm certainly in agreement with Meir's concern about the food
guide pyramid appearing prescriptive. I mean, I would tike it to be interpreted by

Townsend Letter for Doctors, June, 1994, If 131
Schizophrenia has traditionally been treated as a "reactive" psychiatric disorder, i.e., "Logical but
maladaptive reactions to common life events." Sigmund Freed, however, "...concluded that some
aspects of schizophrenia,were beyond a purely psychological understanding." This paper will expound
on and validate that shrewd observation of the early century, It will present the argument for the
genesis of schizophrenia being of the"process" or chronic type caused by a.physical infection who,
secretions provoke a.chemically induced biological reaction.
'that is our point of departure?Let us review ghat the possible infectious microbes are in very liberal
and broad terms that are really old classifications of the Five kingdoms defined by biologists. We note
that biologists claim there are the.Five Kingdoms (some say a further division is needed claiming Six
Kingdoms),.Neither the Five nor the Six include the viruses. Biologists deal with living things and
viruses are dead. Viruses are dealt with as an addendum because viruses affect living cells. Doctors'
needs are different: their laboratory is the living human body: their patient.
Doctors' perspectives are best suited with only three major divisions of infectious microbes which
must include viruses. No less and no more than three. Each has infinite branching to satisfyr those who
want variety. These three simplified branches of infectious microbes will be: the"'viruses, the Bacteria
and Fungi.
Vimses are dead DNA/RNA programs that go active when they pierce a living cell. We will accept the
biologist's definitions. These viruses are lifeless cell takeover programs that use the nucleus of the
host's cell(its yolk?) to replicate their viral.DNA/RNA codes into neve viral clones. They can be hot or
cold infestations (feverish or non-feverish). They can be pan systemic or a singular, well-defined
tumor, i.e., wart. They function best in an unlimited, direct blood supply. Some organize a very intense
venous system or a tuber-like root structure for blood nourishment if they are not swimming free in
the blood, i.e., hematogenous. The blond is really just another body organ like the brain, kidney, or
like its closest relative, the liver, The body does a remarkable job of defending itself in a week to ten
days for many of these viruses, A defensive fever is commonly associated with these infections,
"Cooking" the virus is one of the body's major weapons for combating a virus. Somehow the body
being;chilled below normal temperature seems to make the patient much more susceptible to a new
viral infection and the recurrent fever blisters, Heroes#1/92, Aspirin is the universal anti-viral
chemical. Aspirin is the best chemical to eliminate warts, ('Verruca.`rulgearis) and is;giver,in a hard skin
penetrating solvent (ether). Aspirin is given for all cold or flu symptoms of viral origin, with bed rest.
A less noted potassium ion (K) and iodine seem to both be antiviral. The iodine and potassium are
agents that T think can help the human body's anti-viral armory. This remotely implies the possible use
of lithium ion usage as a helper as well as the halogens other than iodine. Lighter and more active
members of the same Periodic Chart column replace the heavier atoms. Sodium is used for nerve
transmilssion and Li would displace it altering synapse transfer and alter things like the Hebe-gebes
(mania, puberty).
An auto or serum inoculation(internal body=defense or iniected/oral) is a brilliant :rethod to prevent
or subdue a viral infection in the future no matter how intense that particular virus' assault. This is why
a cold./flu vaccine is always being modified: the old one is now rendered inert by those that had it or
one extremely close to its configuration, Exceptions to this are found: an example noted is the herpes

#1 or 42 which are recurrent, The bacteria are redly animals of a very primitive sort. The classic
definition of an animal is that it is an organism that produces a farm of metabolized nitrogen as urea
which it can no longer use. For the sake of brevity, we will include those microbes that biologists will
classify as other than Monera. These are Protsita and leave the door open to any primitive,Mcro-
Animilia, Intestinal worms(Nemathelminthes and Platythelminthes but Annelida doesn't seem to be
important) are curiously treated with an anti-f<nngal because they often have a fungus in their digestive
tract. Examples of anti-fungal agents are the tri-cyclenes and nicotine, All the bacteria should be called
fauna and treated as such with their own individual, manor idiosyncrasies.
The more primitive the bacteria the more closely it resembles the primitive fungi, Blue-green algae are
a bit of both bacteria and f mgi. It's like a fungus that has learned to exist in a.saline solution and a
bacteria that can make chlorophyll, The differentiating attributes of bacteria(fauna)from fungi (flora)
is the use of B 12 in place of the fungi (flora)chlorophyll, which in primitive bacteria and fungi are still
interchangeable. 'when tie try to stop or reduce the nutrients for a fungal growth by minimizing the
intake of chlorophyll, we must also lirtnit the intake of vitamin B-12, its look-alike with the center atom
changed to cobalt. Fungi can do well in a very cold environment: bacteria become inert when below
40°F. ?'dote the delicate effects temperature ranges of only a few degrees Fahrenheit have on animal
life forms. We really have a blood temperature of 52611 above absolute zero, a 1%change makes us
sick, and a 10%reduction stops bacterial growth. Fungi do well even with another 10%reduction,
The exceptions are that some bacteria,stay alive up to 838°absolute temperature in dry heat.
Since the bacteria are animals,they can live in the bloodstream just like the virus. With that fantastic
food supply they can propagate very rapidly while secreting their toxins. This fast cell division tneans
they are a high heat liberating reaction or a rapid metabolism. I don't think this is a.Measurable rise, I
think the body uses other reactions to generate the associated fever. The bodys defense must be quick
and intense to be a good defense against bacteria. A lot of fungi don't make a difference if they get
cured this year or next. Is it life threatening to have a wart on your hand?Not in the least. A bacterial
irn&ction is different;they can grow, doubling their numbers many times a circadian cycle. The
patient's body can't compete with the flood of the growing bacteria,they quickly permeate and poison
the patient. Bacteria are the fastest killers among the infections because of an overwhelming
population explosion though fungal toxins can be a thousand times more potent on a molecule to
molecule basis. The bacteria also exude a series of different toxins(that seem to be acidic). The body's
defense for both bacteria,and viruses is a fever. The bacteria have a few weak spats. All will succumb
to a rapid pH change(the stomach sanitizes food in this way), and bacteria are extremely sensitive to
the toxic fungi output, i.e., penicillin. Clean living(detergents,bleaches), cooking food (steamed for a
given time plus pressure if possible), avid/base swing and fungi are the quick and sure ways to defeat
almost any bacteria easily.
Let's play with the concept of the stomach eliminating the bacteria with a p1l change and see what is
the predictable corollary. The gut is under constant and unremitting assault by bacteria(as well as by
the vital and fungal microbes). A normal aut pressurizes, in flux, by closing berth.valves and squeezing
the contents with enzymes and lowering the p14. i.e., making the contents very acidic. Thea it relaxes
and secretes a base to neutralize the contents or perhaps make them slightly basic, all in a short time,
This is a healthy sant system to either a chemical engineer or a doctor. Nowintroduce the factor of a
nervous stomach, ore that constantly dribbles acid, keeping the pl-I level fairly constant, clay and night_
Is it the acid that eats the lining?I doubt it, Just imagine an acid-loving bacteria finding this steady
state environment. Bacteria can even live in jet fuel, a very inhospitable environment. This should be
the first stage of an ulcer, a bacterial infestation. Step two: fungi find the dead shin of this rater ulcer
and takes it away from.the bacteria, leaving the bacteria to exist in only the edge surrounding site as in
the infection of Tinea Pedis. Therefore to treat an ulcer of the stomach, one should use: Stage cine: a
bactericide; Stage two: a.bactericide with.a Fungicide and get the stomach to a normal pH cycle.
Stomach ulcers should really all be treated as a Stage Two situation; that solution handles either stage
one or stage two.

Considering Schizophrenia
For the sake of this discussion., let's consider the cause of schizophrenia to be fungal. Let's make the
argument and predicate this survey on the cycle of that mysterious illness from the viewpoint of the
illness beim caused solely by fungi. We will test this hypothesis that must cover the many idiosyncratic
oddities that seen to go with this most terrifying sickness: a mind out of the control of its owner as if
pirated by demons. 'that are the noted attributes that schizophrenia is caused by fungal toxicity?What
are the indicators that this illness is even an infectious disease? All schizophrenia is the process
(chronic) schizophrenia v. reactive(induced by external factors or learned) schizophrenia. Further, that
the cause of schizophrenia, in its earlier stages, is not misconnected or shorted-out "wiring" (synapses
firing through faulty myelin sheaths)in the brain,but that it is of chemical origin,caused by secretions
of a fungi. We will not cover the un-learning/re-learning necessary for any recovery of any habituated
(associated reactive aspects)lifestyle caused by this illness of process schizophrenia. Other indicators
that schizophrenia is fungal? Steroid usage is noted which is strongly pro-fungal along with chronic
nicotine, caffeine,L-dopa etc. What about caffeine? Is caffeine possibly mildly anti-fungal?Let's look
at the molecule profile ofcafl'eine comparing it to the Indole(a pro-fungal molecule), and severely
modified, anti-fungal, nicotine molecules. Caffeine is a severely modified indoled molecule with several
important indole atoms exchanged for other atoms, but retaining the indole shape. It passes the
blood/brain barrier but dries not promote fungal growth: note that coffee grounds left damp in the
open sit a long time before decomposing.
A wild card thrown in at this point is an illness that could noir have a fungal implication, never
heretofore considered as such: the cardiovascular illness of myocardial infarction which is statistically
associated with schizophrenia patients. This may just be an.effect caused by the horrid medicines
given, a patient's lifestyle, or it might have something to do with a fungus. Further research is needed.
An interesting thing about medicine is the farce and volume of questions that boomerang back
whenever we toss out the smallest suggestion. ghat illnesses schizophrenia,is associated with provides
us with a clue. LSD-25, a fungal generated toxic indole, can give results that are indistinguishable
from schizophrenia. What other indicators do we have`/ Schizophrenia has a higher prevalence in
patients that have severe fangal illnesses such as Lupus, M.S., deficiencies in B-1, B-3 (nicotinic acid,
a fungicide), prophyria(the pyrole half of a fungi indole molecule with one type of modified-urea
attached), What is different about a fungal infection?It uses the nitrogen offered it by fauna which it
changes into a form that the kidneys can't pass. The fungal infection is non-feverish. 'Note that there is
no fever ever associated with a schizophrenia episode with one significant,unnoticed exception—that
of an initial preparation of the site for a fungal infestation. If you listen very closely, you will hear that
most patients,Nvith any, chronic illness, think it began with some ether illness or mechanical injury.
This bacterial, viral or mechanical trauma initiates and preps the site that any raving fungi (spare)
infection can.now take over and dominate.
One unnoticed indicator of a fr,rngal infestation is that it metabolizes the urea that the human body
emits to feed itself and then secretes a modified urea.that the body can't handle. Gouty arthritis is a.
good example. ?dote that a fungus on a topical surface such as Irritable Dowel Disease, psoriasis,
sinusitis, etc., can drain into a void and not cause toxicity to the body due to its inability to be
processed and pass on to the kidneys. So if there is a fungus causing schizophrenia where is the
n-ladified-urea that the body can't handle? To answer the rnodifaed-area question we*oust know where
the fungal infection is sited, Since the fungi are so patent, only a very few are needed_ In fact such a
small number of fungi are needed that they and the modified-urea.could escape any detection ether
than an implied existence;. Since the hypothetical toxic f.rngus indole secretion can pass the blood/brain
barrier, the fungal infestation could every be under that patient's toenails and the fungi's extreme cell-
wall penetrating toxins could find their way to the most sensitive of all human organs,the brain. 'Not
knowing where the fi-mgi is sited or the size and number involved, hence the place and volume of the
fungi-secreted modified-urea, makes looking for the fungal site impossible. In gouty arthritis the
fungal site is obvious. There is a hint in.the voluminous medical literature to show where we should
schzpro.€1t1.1xr Page 4 of 'l _
look if we prescribe a small dose of logic for ourselves. The blood/brain barrier should stop most
fungi. The closer the fungal site is to the brain, the more effective an unnoticeably small number of
fungi would be. Don't forget, fungi-like steroids and cortisone was first culled from the outside surface
of the brain. If the blood/brain barrier wasn't there, neither would be the brain, it would be covered
with fungi and putrefy and mortify like a rotting log, This concent would put the,fungal site at or near
the stalk of the brain just outside the blood/brain barrier. The exceedingly small infestation would now
produce such a small amount of modified-urea as to be unnoticed. The thermographs of schizophrenia
patients show lesser activity at most sites of the brain, but at the blood/brain barrier, more activity or
heat is indicated, That wasn't so hard was it?It is a point to first look for a fungus. Note that one of
the characteristics of some severe fungal infections is that the patient never gets a cold, We know
fi.rngi provide protection from bacteria.] infections but there is also some protection from viruses too.
Why, I don't have a clue. What provokes a fungal growth, hence schizophrenic episode?Lactic acid
seems to be a provocateur par excellence. When I had my irritable bowel disease, extreme muscle
work caused the illness to get very severe. Schizophrenia patients given a lactic acid injection get
schizophrenic episodes- normal people do not. This is a definitive chemical test for a very hard-to-
define illness. When schizophrenic patients are on the standard schizophrenia, medicine, they do not
have these attacks with lactic acid injections. Lactose sugar is another fungal activator or provocateur
(pill binder is made out of milk and not to be conf rsed with lactic acid). Have you ever beard of a.
woman ge=tting yeast infection after beim treated with a strong dose of one of the penicillins? This is
very common, what causes a steroid unbalance in the human body"? Stress, puberty,
pr N N4ac 173;@
Another anti-fungal is iodine(as noted, it seems to be anti-viral .also)but much weaker and milder than
chloride as an anti-fungal, Iodine is a powerful anti-fungal (and in what seems to be higher doses, also
anti-bacterial). I consider its reduction below the RDAs as a.proposed cause of a.higher rate of fungal
infections like schizophrenia, asthma, TBD, arthritis, lupus, etc, Modern day dietary reduction of NaCl
with iodine is noted also. "what other vitamin chemistry promotes fungal infections? Vitarnin A is a
steroid.imitator, Bacterial growth and subsequent demise prepares the sites of the body for further
fungal infection. Where a bacteria can co-exist with fungi in a patient, these bacteria can cause great
and rapid damage to the patient as in Mega-colon in the ulcerative colitis patient. How about alcohol?
'hat should its theoretical effect be to a schizoid patient? As always, let us go to the source. The
common source of alcohol (methyl carbinol)is yeast, a major subdivision of fungi. Alcohol is anti-
bacterial and because it comes from a fungus it is therefore pro-fungal. Alcohol blood dilution
(drunkenness)provides a temporary calming effect on the schizoid patient. Because any bacteria in
contact with alcohol is suppressed, the rebound growth is increased for the fungi which intensifies the
future episode of schizophrenic illnesses. The greater the fungal infestation,the more devastating the
schizophrenic episode: alcoholism is associated with schizophrenia.. The anti-fungal chemicals used to
fight schizophrenia are indicators as to the cause of this terrifying disease. One of galaxy of the tri-
cyclires is#2186, chlorpromazine. Miscellaneous other near tri-cyclines only slightly less related to the
molecule 47220 is carbamazepine(41783), a tri--cycline with an extra atom in the center ring We must
look at the root of any chemical to get a.handle on its function and use. Also tookat mercurochrome
(1Merhromine 45757)which is interesting because it at least provides a little variety in the repetitive tri-
cyline theme by using the old standbtiT mercury(14g). In a micro/micro dose, Hg can be very effective
but long terra use can be devastatingly toxic_ To be effective, it has to kill something, so Hg is called
dangerous. Misused it surely is, but is it sa=fe to stay ill? So Hg based medicines are called a health
hazard (patient rights have expired)and lets a drug company make money with the new chemicals that
don't work near as well. Mow else can the new chemicals make more profit? The price is higher jest
because only the patent holder can issue a permit to make them. Also, it takes more than one drug to
do the job and many more treatments, and the new drugs which have horrid side effects, rewire a
doctor's prescription and now the still ill ,patient has to spend more time in the hospital. Medication,
hence cure, that should cost a dime now casts tens of thousands of dollars and even the life of the

patient. este that young children who get TBD's have a 30% to 40% mortality rate by the time they
reach the age of majority. This is when they receive the"lest of the FI Ar'AMA's Medical Care." This
just shows the seriousness of the illness. Tt takes only one dollar of chemicals to cure each child, which
cannot be administered within the FDA/AMA guidelines. The profit motive cannot help but make the
most sincere doctors prescribe expensive drugs and further tests (just to be sure the patient is safe). if
a doctor fails to play this,game, the general microbe being inferred indirectly, then that doctor is liable
to feed the vultures who really regulate medicine and the FDAIAMA. Because the precisely correct
and approved chemical trade name(active patent)will be spelled very differently, though the
chemicals will show 90% commonality and really be interchangeable, a doctor will be Keel-battled by
our judicial system to teach hind a lesson Ln the importance of greed to our GNP. As the Japanese say,
"'Che high nails will be driven down." This is done at the cast of multiplying the danger to the patient
and the cost to the general public.
The molecule derivatives of the Tri-C's are damaging to the liver whereas the nicotine is not. The
advantage of the tri C's is cute to the strong numbing or blocking effect on the brain cells which seems
to be needed in many schizophrenic episodes. This gains is often at the expense of severe and even fatal
damage to the liver in long term tri-C usage. The knowledge of what, is really going on can help the
doctor/patient minimize the use of the dangerous but necessary tri-C's.
On examination of schizophrenic episodes we find the following occurrence repeatedly- severe stress,
a 14-day wait for the episode to occur(10 to 12 days for the aura?). How does our model of fungal
infection fit into this?We reed to find out how lona it takes a spore to mature to an.active fftngus in
the human body to answer that question. Steroids strongly promote fungal growth. Stress releasers a
massive amount of steroids. If these steroids are not metabolized or used in the bendy, the fungi use
them and grow, then when their growth is not sustained, die and release their toxins. The toxins of
fungi seem to be based on variations of the molecule#4869,the indole molecule, The most notorious
example of this indole base is the molecule 45507 (LSD-25)which is made by a fungus originally. It
so happens that a person.on LSD-25 can be indistinguishable from a schizophrenia patient suffering a.
schizophrenic episode.
Nicotine has the virtue of metabolizing into vitamin.13-3, which is noted as a chemical to treat
schizophrenia.. 'dote that many schizophrenic patients show a calming of episodic events while
smoking. This use of nt icotin.+e allows a schizophrenia patient to focus. Isn't this strange, a stimulant
calming a person? And that stimulant just happens to be anti-fungal? And the other chemicals used to
treat schizophrenia just happen to be anti-fungal also?There are some other odd illnesses that seem to
be prevented by or respond to anti-fungal agents such as nicotine and the tri-cyclines. Nicotine users
have been noted to have less Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Sleep apnea., IBD's, .Asthma's, etc. by Dr.
Jar-6k. A strong argument can be grade for each of the foregoing illnesses to be caused by a low or
non-feverish fungal infection.
In "Menkes Kinky Hair" syndrome the body cannot absorb copper, A trace of copper, a noted
fungicide, cures the problem. That is it stops the progress of the illness, which is in the.brain,lett
doesn't repair any brain damage. Doesn't Cu uptake get reduced by alcohol?Don't people with arthritis
(a fungal illness)often swear by copper bracelets?Certain things that have been rioted about viral
infections are that a "one pill cure" or "orae serum infection" is possible, This has led many to think that
all illnesses, every if they are not a virus can be cured with one pill. The treatment of a.-bacterial
infection in just a few days(commonly ten days) has bolstered this "pike dream" that a single, correct
pill will care It.," whatever "it" is, even though constant cleanliness and preventive measures are really
needed, i.e., a "defensive lifestyle." Hence limiting bacterial infections is really a constant lifestyle of
refrigeration, washing, eating right, chlorinated water, and good habits in general.
Fighting a fungus is aro ongoing battle or a "defensive lifestyle" too, in the pursuit of good health.
Gouty arthritis is a splendid example of long-term management that is effective only with clear insight
to fungal treatment and schizophrenia is an obvious and excellent implied infection of fungi whose
treatment is usirg anti-fungal measures with no pro-fungi slip-ups which cannot be done without a

broad concept of the cause. The past treatment of this serious illness is strictly trial and error without
any overall concept of what is going on as though there was no broad concept available or evert hinted
at by the chemistry involved. These that propose a yeast cause are on track though and it may well be
a yeast that is the causative microbe, though the other fungi should still be open for consideration.
"Treatment without logic schema(compass), is treatment founded on a data base which is now quickly
lost in such a fog as to be virtually useless(medicine then becomes a lifeboat without a rudder for
which the hull is missing.)This style of treatment totally avoids any unifying theme hence any real
chance of a cure due to the lack of reasonable and/or proper diagnoses. A patient or doctor cannot go
in more than rine direction at once and succeed. Even if one proposes the wrong cause, genetic,,
chernicat,external, microbial, etc., at least the trial and error method will either prove or disprove the
advanced theory permitting its refinement or erasure. Most of today's treatments are,more political and
seem to lack any solid scientific basis. A. scientific basis is v<There each concept is firmly attached and
proved by known scientific cause and effect to a previous established point, making a chairs connecting
the start to the finish;the cause to the cure. The point of the beginning is always the simple sciences:
first year chemistry, first year biology, first year zoology, etc. In the illness of chronic or process
schizophrenia,we suggest the cure to the physical cause to be anti-fungal regimens which can use all
the existing anti-schizophrenia chemicals to treat fungi. These medicines prescribed should all be anti-
fungal,ie., nor-nicotine and nicotine(very limited usage), Vitamin B-I through B-6, potassium and
lithium, iodine and other halogens, sulfates and sulfur, iron supplements, etc. (copper ions should be
included too but I don't know which ones are safe and in what doses.) The chemicals that must be
avoided or severely limited are the pro-fungal vitamin A, B-12,Us and K's. Also avoid the strongly
pro fungal pill binder, lactose and any milk products(excepting hard cheeses), and in particular the
chlorophylls must be avoided. Heavy or even modest physical workouts must be avoided because they
generate lactic acids at a rate that the body cannot handle. This regimen,which uses mtost of the
existing schizophrenic treatments with only slight modification, should be easy, safe and provide
results quickly to prove or disprove this contention of a fungi being the cause of schizophrenia.

Infantile Autism, Diet & Schizophrenia
Editor:
In November of 1996, my sera David, a three year-cold child, was diagnosed Nxrith moderate to severe
early infantile autism. We immediately realized that milk irritated our child's autistic condition, Within
three weeks of retnrrvarag milk from our son's diet, we noticed an improvement in his eye contact and
socialization shills, as well as a decrease it, self stimulating behaviors (i.e, spinning and hand flapping)
and self abusive behaviors such as head banging. Ude also removed wheat from our son's diet.
However, David's progress was staggered, and we would eliminate one troubling behavior from his
repertoire via behavioral therapy, only to find another replacing it. Holding a BA in behavioral
psychology, I felt that something was missing, a key that I hadn't determined. Relentless poring over
every resource in this century regarding autisrra, I became interested in the connection between autism
and systemic yeast infection, I was prepared to start my son on Nystatin treatment when I encountered
Mr. David Barnes on line, Mr. Barnes recommended an unusual eating plan designed to re=move the

yeast from my autistic David's system. Yes, T was skeptical, but T also knew that Nystatin treatment in
itself could have adverse side effects for my son.
David.Barnes recommended removing milk, dairy products, wheat, yeasts and rays vegetables from my
son's diet. He also advised that we remove the fungi/yeast from his diet that his pediatrician had
suggested for nutrition, Mr. Barnes also advised to bail all vegetables in salt(NaCl)water before
cooking. This interested me, because my scam has an intense craving for table salt. An innate attempt of
the beady to self medicate, perhaps? Mr. Barnes also advised the addition of dietary capper and a
dietary iodine,but in minimal dosages, having noticed that most auto-immune illnesses have an
identified enzyme that depletes body copper.
I followed his advice; with no Cather changes in my child's routine. Within three days, my son slept
through the night for the first time in his life. Within three weeks, my child was spontaneously
requesting and giving affection...even an occasional kiss. He started to play with his toys in a more
appropriate manner, stacking blocks and putting small objects inside of larger canes. Most interesting,
my previously diagnosed three year-old child began crawling, a critical developmental stage he had
skipped. Six weeks into David Barnes' recommended new eating program, our autistic child began
exploring my face, eyes, ears, nose and mouth. He now follows simple commands, and occasionally
cues a word in context. My son is a happy child, hardly recognizable from the wandering ghost he was
only eight weeks ago.
My scarf will begin tomorrow, a program for language-delayed toddlers that he did not qualify for six
months ago. His condition was considered too severe. Will my sort recover from autism?I don't know.
But T do know that David Barnes' advice, applied with the conservatism of a sheltering another,
changed ray little bay's life. And mine as well. I have used.David Barnes' anti-fungal diet also, and the
arthritis in my feet seems to be in total remission.

Addendum from David Barnes
The child them grew rapidly and a year later is now 4 and ahead of his age group in many areas, though
somewhat slow in speech. He is using full sentences in context and with clear meaning and composing
sentences and plays with ether children and likes to play games. He has a pet dog that he cares for.
At the age of three(3) he had never spoken and often sat there and banged his head against the wall in
destructive behavior. Now he goes to school and is helpful to his mother and a joy to all. Most of his
behavior changed in only 10 days or sea. Progress was sure and leveled off after that but was still ahead
of rate of improvement for his peers. His weight was that of his younger sister when this began, a year
later he weighs close to his Calder sister.
