You know my cold used to come back year after year, but my MD have not once tried to tell me that I was prone to being sick for the rest of my life! This is how you teach helplessness to your patients. I didn’t believe that the common cold had no cure. So now I eat better, and I exercise outdoors in the winter, which most Americans do not do, and consequently I rarely if ever get sick–and when I do, I recover very quickly. A 24 hour cold, who knew? It is unfortunate that mainstream psychologists teach their patients that they are ill, rather than telling them that psychology has no cures to offer. And that is why you do not speak of cures. If MD’s said they had no cures, no one would visit them either.

I will say that depression, although believed by many people cannot be cured, can in fact be cured. I have the empirical evidence to back it up and the physical signs and symptoms to show proof that it works.

I challenge any researcher, practioner or health institution to take me up on this and I will prove them wrong,absolutely wrong. Yes I have a book, but the book is merely an introduction of my Unified Theory of Cognition (UTC). I am not an accredited writer or an academic or scholar, however I have researched this for personal reasons for twenty-five years and have conducted an independent two year study where the same results were observed in eight people.

I don’t agree that mental illness cannot be cured.

I suffered from severe depression for much of my life. In the late 90′s I finally found the right treatment – ECT. I’ve been depression-free for eleven years, even though I’ve had some tough times during those years.

Yes, mental illness can be cured!

Dear John,

It is true that doctors beleive that mental disease cannot be cured. but it is due o the lakc of understanding about enviromental and internal influences. for example a person can have a very strong internal influence and beleif and perception that is refining and discerning patterns to extend and develop ones own sense of purpose. were on the external some one can can have a number of issues. from to much fruits in a diet. to having a injury.
So mentla diseases are very understandble a person just has to be able to monitor a vast amount of causes. to cure the disease there must be put in place enough postive causes and sease enough negative causes. i beleive with the right understanding of a balnced holistic lifestyle. far beyond what lifestyle coachs are teaching mostly today there will be enough postive momentum and postive karma to keep a person from reaching lows. but on the other hand what is life without the full experience of being part of the so much more than we can ever individually feel. so i do believe compassion even if it causes temperary depression is the best emotion of all.
Blessing to your Health,
D’

You statement truly amazes me, if there was a such thing as “God” I would hold him accountable for this problem, nature causes these problems, a creator would not, say your god does exist, he would be an underachiever. I know in your heart you truly believe in your God, But there is no way I could respect this being.

I believe that there is a cure for mental illness. Everything that has a start has an end. If something can be changed in one direction, it can be changed in the other direction. It’s the law of the universe. It’s our job to find out how. Weed out the root cause and put it right. There will be many different causes/triggers and many solutions. The step forward that is needed is to get the person stable enough to go searching for this root cause. This could be done using the methods used already. Rather than this being the end of their treatment, this should in my opinion be the beginning in resolving the underlying cause.

I accept that there is such a thing as mental illness. But I don’t accept that they are all incurable in all cases. That is ridiculous. In cultures in the world where this is seen as a spiritual problem/experience not a mental problem we see much more people fully recovering. I think the arrogance of the western scientific approach is outrageous when you compare it to more ‘ignorant’ cultures. We’re behind them on this so we should do whatever they are doing. I have heard about Scandinavian hospitals using very few drugs in the treatment of their patients and getting much better recovery results using talking and other holistic approaches.

I wish yellow was still my favorite color and I could believe in dreams of the future that reality cannot sustain. I was “delusional” but that didn’t effect my life in any negative way that I can see,I didn’t tell anybody what pictures it took to keep me well, unless being socially retarded because I was a fruit tree and having to learn the jungle is considered negative. But I wasn’t in a rage because of the unfairness people caused by torturing me and I was not suicidal.
