Valentine’s Day Message for those Struggling with Schizophrenia

Posted on by Suzanne Patterson

My Dear Friend,

Whoever you are and wherever you are in the process of dealing with the disease schizophrenia, you are doing the best you can. You must forgive yourself for everything, and always begin anew. 

This morning I woke up with a sense of failure, because I had failed in a work task I had been given to complete. I then realized the need to drop this negative, futile emotion, and move on. This happened to me when my son took his life from schizophrenia 3 1/2 years ago. It has taken me this period of time to resolve all of the issues with schizophrenia that I had experienced, and to find a solution that could help others.

Wherever you are in the process of working through the difficulties of living with someone with schizophrenia or trying to help a loved one with this disease, you must focus on the immediate issues on hand. From my experience now of visiting NAMI Family Support meetings and hearing people’s stories, this can be homelessness, drug addiction, poor hygiene, lack of good support and information from the medical doctors and psychiatrists, the unsafe dosages and over-prescribing of poor choices of medicines, non-compliance with taking these medicines, etc. NAMI offers resources for coping with schizophrenia.

As a parallel and complementary effort, educate yourself about the BEAM surgery offered in Ecuador and contact Dr. Jose R. Mackliff to hear his recommendations about antipsychotic medicines to help stabilize your person’s condition and actions for reducing stress in their lives. All of the recommendations given to us by Dr. Mackliff, when my son was newly diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder, proved to be correct and would have saved his life if we had followed them. You can contact Dr. Mackliff in English by email at drmackiff@beamprocedure.com

Finding a solution to schizophrenia is a step-by-step process. You must open your hearts to trusting that help which comes from a true and scientifically established place, as well as pure motive based on the love of his patients and faith in God.  Clearly see the contrast with treatments based mostly on profits, and the promotion of non-tested drugs at the dosages and time duration for which they are prescribed. Many psychiatrists receive payments from the pharmaceutical companies for prescribing these untested drugs. (Open Payments database). You must open your hearts to truly listening and responding to the anguish of your loved ones, and search for a better solution.

BEAM Procedure is a proven solution and the only solution that can eliminate the symptoms of schizophrenia and restore lives worth living. This message only sounds extreme because of our conditioning to believe that schizophrenia is an incurable disease, and that antipsychotic drugs for life are our only option. Read my book, a Life Worth Living – Schizophrenia Alternative Treatment , co-authored by Dr. Mackliff for practical information on all aspects of schizophrenia and its treatment. One thing that is clear is that the current methods of treatment are not working!!!!

Family Schizophrenia Support

Posted on by Suzanne Patterson

This is a blog that offers real support to families with a member with schizophrenia. It informs parents and people with this disease of a simple treatment for schizophrenia called BEAM, bi-lateral electro-coagulation of adrenal medulla, which is a simple surgery on the adrenal medulla glands that begins eliminating the symptoms of schizophrenia within 24 hours, reduces the amount of antipsychotic drugs taken and restores normal lives within one to three years. It is the only national site not funded and administered by the pharmaceutical industry (schizophrenia.com), and that offers real options to a lifetime regime of antipsychotic drugs.

This simple surgery developed and patented by Dr. Jose Mackliff in Ecuador, eradicates adrenaline production in the Adrenal Medulla glands, and stimulates the brain to compensate and produce nor-adrenaline which goes into the Hypothalamus Pituitary Thyroid (HPTA) arc in the brain stem allowing the distribution of the right amount of cerebral dopamine into the brain. This surgery immediately stops aggressiveness, anger and hallucinations which occurred before dopamine was regulated.

There are no side effects from this surgery developed over 30 years of self-funded scientific research by Dr. Mackliff and his associates.

This blog site explains the BEAM surgery; hosts a documentary film with three case study videos; and provides contact information for American parents who have had the surgery done on their sons in January of 2018. It provides live-coverage of BEAM Procedure for Schizophrenia as it becomes known internationally across the globe, at the World Congress of Neuroscience BIT’s Neurotalk in Bangkok, Thailand in May of 2018, and more case study post-surgery videos are posted on schizophreniasolution.org .

Please follow this blog to receive updates on regular posts. Respond with a comment with any questions or comments you have on this procedure.

Completion of a Work of Love

Suzanne Patterson with son Marco, 2012

Tuesday, January 23rd, was the premier film showing of A Life Worth Living – Solution to Schizophrenia, in the community where I live. Twenty people attended; both well-educated and medical professionals, and friends. The film was very well received and the evening, a real celebration.

In my presentation before the film, I spoke about how three and one half years ago when my son died from schizophrenia and antipsychotic drug treatment, an aim crystalized in my being, and two months after his burial I began researching schizophrenia, antipsychotic drug treatment and a treatment called BEAM Procedure which was done in Ecuador and had successfully eliminated the symptoms of schizophrenia in 56 patients at that time.

This began an incredible journey which led to writing a book co-authored by Dr. Mackliff; founding a non-profit named Only the Difficult Productions Foundation; traveling to Ecuador and meeting Dr. Mackliff and surgeon, Dr. Oscar Sanchez and several of their patients who had had the BEAM surgery four years prior to the meeting, and had recovered from schizophrenia. The journey has gone full circle, with two new American patients, Miguel and another, who had the surgery in January of 2018, and who are already experiencing a liberation from the symptoms of schizophrenia along with a great reduction in the antipsychotic medication they are taking.

Dr. Oscar Sanchez passed away on January 7th, 2018. I wish to honor his great contribution of almost 100 BEAM surgeries,as well as a lifetime of surgeries on patients throughout South America where he was considered one of the best urology surgeons available. He was a great surgeon and man. Before leaving, he trained his two sons, both urology surgeons, in the BEAM surgery. Dr. Frank Sanchez with Dr. Mackiff, now does most of the BEAM surgeries.

I ended my presentation by saying, “This was a work of Love, and I felt my son’s presence with me for most of the time. At that moment, I truly felt my son’s presence in the room and began to cry. I will be forever grateful for that moment, and my son’s life who was the real reason for this film being created. I dedicate this film to my son, Marco Joshua Alfonso and Dr. Oscar Sanchez.

The film completed, but the work of promoting Dr. Mackliff’s work continues with the aim of reaching many more families with a message of real hope, through film media, cable TV and radio.

Letter from Zuly, after son Miguel’s Surgery on January 10th, 2018

Hello Suzanne,

I wanted to let you know how happy we are after Miguel’s surgery, this is a miracle. My son is completely different right after the BEAM procedure  He told me he feels so different without anxiety and very calmed down. He mentioned he sees the world very different. He also told me he wants to return to the university and start a new life. Erika is so surprised by my son’s change, she saw him completely normal. I notice he talks normal not like before as a robot.
Dr. Jose Mackliff is an angel changing the future of many people who suffer schizophrenia and also their families affected by that. Thank you so much for  all your support.
Best regards,
Zuly

Suicide Rate in Males with Schizophrenia and Open Payment Database

Posted on by Suzanne Patterson

Males with schizophrenia attempt suicide at a much higher rate than females; approximately 60% of them will make at least one attempt. The result of these attempts is that between 10% and 15% of people with schizophrenia have historically committed suicide. (NIMH)

Psychiatrists should counsel parents with children with schizophrenia to be aware of this. My son committed suicide after one year of having schizoaffective disorder and being put on a high dose of Seroquel. It was only two years after his suicide that a suicide warning was put on the medicine label (2016). My son’s psychiatrist (Dr. Edward Oklan, San Rafael, CA) received payments from the pharmaceutical industry for prescribing Seroquel. He prescribed dosages as high as 2000 mg per day. This dosage is 1400 mg higher than the highest tested dosage (600 mg) by the pharmaceutical manufacturer. There are no checks on the dosages that psychiatrists can prescribe. When we told our psychiatrist that we thought the dosages were too high, he simply told us to look for another psychiatrist if we didn’t trust his judgement.

Parents should check the Open Payments database to check if the psychiatrist they are considering receives payments for prescribing a certain type of antipsychotic.

Doctors and hospitals having financial relationships with health care manufacturing companies stimulated the creation of Open Payments, a federally run transparency program begun in 2014 that collects information about these financial relationships and makes it available to the public. These relationships can involve money for research activities, gifts, speaking fees, meals, or travel. One of the ways Open Payments provides this data to the public is through a search tool, which allows an individual to search for a doctor or teaching hospital that has received payments or a company that has made payments. Exploring this information and discussing the results found with your healthcare provider can help to make more informed healthcare decisions.

More information about the program can be found on the Open Payments website www.OpenPaymentsData.cms.gov. There you can get an overview of the data that’s been collected and displayed and learn more about the context around the data. For questions about the data, contact the Open Payments team at opdata@cms.hhs.gov.

My Advice to Parents with Children with Schizophrenia

Posted on by Suzanne Patterson

Listen

Dear Parents,

You are all in my heart while writing the Conclusion for my film, A Life Worth Living – Solution to Schizophrenia.

CONCLUSION

(Suzanne speaking with photo of her putting flowers in vase at son’s gravesite with her back to audience. Music softly in background.) 3 minutes

If this film saves one child’s life or averts one tragic outcome, I will be profoundly grateful. My story is your story but your child’s story is still unfolding. If your child has been diagnosed as having schizophrenia or you are wondering if your loved one is schizophrenic, it is important to seek help.  Starting treatment as soon as possible may significantly improve your child’s chances to heal and resume a life worth living.

Learn about Dr Mackliff’s research and the positive results from his B.E.A.M. surgery, a viable treatment option for schizophrenia that helps patients return to a constructive, happy life. Review Dr. Mackliff’s case studies, hear the inspiring stories of his patients’ recoveries, and learn about their improved quality of life. For example, Carlos, a young man who suffered from hallucinations and delusions, after having the B.E.A.M. surgery, is now free of these symptoms.

Mackliff’s efforts have been primarily self-funded and fueled by his incredible devotion. He has pioneered and perfected this scientific method over a period of 30 years, with careful research and follow-up observation of his patients.

If you choose this option, please understand that full recovery can take one to three years, and needs family support, with gradual reduction of antipsychotics. Consider contacting Dr. Mackliff in Ecuador for an evaluation.  See if your child improves using a lower, safer dosage of antipsychotic drugs. A prescription from Dr. Mackliff in Ecuador can be filled by a psychiatrist in the U.S.

(These actions appear on screen; possibly scroll one at a time while Suzanne says them.)

Act immediately.  You do not have time to hesitate. This disease progresses rapidly.

Begin exploring your child’s options.

Don’t let your child drift into isolation.

I urge you to really listen to your child with your heart open, to be sensitive to your child’s concerns and fears.

Tell them over and over that you believe in their ability to heal, to find happiness, yet acknowledge their suffering;

They are in a dark passage with many challenges.

Tell them again and again that your love for them is unconditional and that you will help them find their way into the light.

May your efforts be guided by love, not fear.
