I have brought up items of relevance to schizophrenia on Psychobabble and got almost no response.I believe for example that omega-3 fish oil can help schizophrenics as can the the orthomolecular theories of Abram Hoffer,MD.I look after a number of schizophrenic patients who have done well on fish oil and I am now encouraging them without much success to date to try the vitamins and minerals suggested by Dr Hoffer.Over 50% of my schizophrenics work-the typical figure is more like 20%.Hoffer reckons that 50-90% should be able to function well enough to work and have a life.I do not think there will be enough interest to keep a schizophrenic board very active but it may help some people and it is worth a try on that basis alone.
