Child’s Ordeal Shows Risks Of Psychosis Drugs For Young
By · CommentsChild’s Ordeal Shows Risks Of Psychosis Drugs For Young
This New York Times article highlights the risk of using powerful, untested mind-altering drugs on children and babies. The article begins by stating that at 18 months, Kyle Warren started taking a daily antipsychotic drug on the orders of a pediatrician trying to quell the boy’s severe temper tantrums.
Apparently no one understood the cause of the severe temper tantrums. In general, rage is proportionate to helplessness, and no one is as helpless as a baby when the mother is not there. This need not be the mother’s fault. When the Unabomber was nine months old, for example, he was sick and in the hospital. The mother was allowed to see him but not permitted to touch him. Can you imagine the rage of the infant who is sick and in strange surroundings – and then sees the mother but she will not pick him up, hold him and comfort him?
This was an extreme trauma, not recognized by the doctors, but reactivated forty years later when another “most important person,” his lady friend, left him. Feelings are more intense than thoughts, and long after the thoughts are gone, the feelings can be reactivated by another trauma similar to the first. Then the rage is re-directed outward to other people. Since the mother is the “whole world” to the baby, the rage can be redirected outward toward everyone.
When I profiled the DC sniper on Fox National News, I said we would find an infant separation trauma followed by a subsequent separation from some other “most important person.” This was an easy prediction, because to the infant the mother is the whole world. Thus the murderous rage was projected out toward everyone: black, white, Hispanic, young, old, male, female. This prediction proved true as the elder’s mother had died of cancer when he was three, and later he was separated from his wife and family. The original trauma was earlier than age three, and would correlate with his mother’s discovery of cancer, with her attention shifting from baby to survival.
A later reactivation of Kyle’s infant rage can be prevented in his adolescent years when he loses his first girlfriend, who represents the whole world to him – or later in life if his wife leaves him.
It is tragic that children and even babies are given powerful mind-altering drugs by physicians who have no concept of cause of the disorders. Understanding and treating cause rather than symptoms is a far better way to proceed in such cases. While medications are proven for the adult, they are not necessarily as effective as claimed. King County Washing State Second Annual Report revealed that out of 9,302 mental health patients, over the course of one full year, only five (5) recovered well enough to find a job. This was at the cost of approximately $92,000,000. Now, with no understanding of cause and mechanism, physicians are advocating the same treatment for children and babies.
The understanding of cause, mechanism and treatment of serious mental and emotional disorders, along with prevention at three levels, is explained in BABIES NEED MOTHERS: How Mothers Can Prevent Mental Illness in their Children.

Dream of the Week
By · CommentsOne month ago a new patient reported that her heart had stopped beating and someone revived her by pressing on her sternum, directly over the heart. She lived, but her sternum was fractured down the middle, and the edges did not rejoin properly. One edge was displaced more deeply than the other. This was very painful. She was told that they would not be able to operate to close it properly because of her heart condition.
I told her this was no problem. I would write a dream to solve it for her.
I wrote: “I will have a dream about the sternum, and the interpretation of the dream will tell me exactly what to do.” (Note: The programming is specific in that it addresses her injured sternum – yet it is not limited to a choice A or B; it is open to any possibility.)
The second part of the programming is always “I will awaken at the very end of the dream, remember it and write it down.” (It also is necessary to keep paper and pencil right there, and you might even begin writing before opening eyes.)
When I saw her this month and asked about the dream, she reported leaning back against a telephone pole, and a man walked up to her and struck a hard blow to her sternum with his first. Later in the dream she is playing with her children – something she could not do with a cracked sternum.
The interpretation is simple: If you push on a set of swinging doors they move back, separate and come back together. The same would happen with the edges of the sternum. Her back was pressed against an immovable object, the telephone pole. A surgeon would call this a closed reduction. Possibly this one has never has been done before.
I assured her this would work, because I never have known a programmed dream answer to fail, in more than forty years. I further suggested that along with the surgical team and anesthesiologist, it might be a good idea to have a chiropractor, who is used to moving bones, do the actual manipulation.
BONUS: If you program a dream, using precise words, as above, I will interpret it for you – as time allows, and might even offer suggestions for more precise programming.
All such material becomes property of Dr. Clancy D. McKenzie and might be used in future writing.
The origin of psychosis involves the unrecognized fear of death.
More overwhelming than war trauma to a soldier is separation from mother to the baby, because for as long as mammals have populated the earth, separation from mother has meant death.
This is why separation from some other “most important person” later in life can precipitate a partial return to the entire earlier gestalt, a partial return to the earlier mind/brain/reality/ feelings/behavior/chemistry/ physiology/body movements and anatomic sites in the brain that were active and developing at the precise time of the original separation trauma during infancy.
It is tragic these simple things are not known, and neither the lay population nor the profession at large recognizes the profound impact on the baby of seemingly unimportant events in the baby’s life that overwhelm it.
Developing schizophrenia truly is unnecessary. Relatively few of the original traumas could not be avoided or modified, and the second trauma that precipitates the onset of the first could be modified as well.
Women love their babies, and they never would intentionally do something that might cause such a dreaded infirmity.
This is why I am making a great effort to bring this work forward. All these disorders are unnecessary. Even autism and symbiosis, the acute forms of PTSD from infancy, are largely unnecessary – but no one would dare to do a simple survey of children of working vs. non-working mothers, or drug-addicted vs. non drug-addicted mothers. It might be taken as an indictment of mothers.
I do not dispute the validity of biological findings nor genetic predisposition, but they are not root cause. A lady called Saturday saying she was just discharged from a hospital with bipolar disorder and wanted to know if I would treat her. I asked if she had a sibling 22 months younger and she said, “Yes, how did you know?” That’s the peak age of origin and the most frequent cause, I replied. This happens over an over again. When it is not the birth of a sibling we usually identify some other trauma at about the same age: parents separating, moving to a new home, or some real tragedy that upset the mother.

Programmed Dreams: An Overnight Treatment for Loss of a Loved one:
I have used this on more than 200 people and it is extremely effective, usually the first night:
I simply have a person decide to have a dream about the lost loved one, decide the dream will not be upsetting, and decide the dream itself will resolve all upset feelings.
Usually it is more like a visit, following which the griever “knows” it is OK. This has worked even with the loss of a child — although that is the most difficult to overcome. I even had a three-year-old get an overnight cure with this technique. When she was two years old she was taken from a cocaine addicted mother and placed in a foster home. She was so scared she hid under the table and would not come out. Finally she warmed up to the foster parents, and then she became really fond of her foster Daddy. But a year later he died of lung cancer and she was devastated.
The mother brought her to me, and I only had five minutes between appointments to see her, so I told her “You can visit your Daddy any night you want, during sleep. Tonight he is going to visit you during sleep and take away all your upset feelings.” The very next morning she awakened shouting “Mommy! Daddy brought me a baby doll last night!” Before the mother could dissuade her she ran to the back of some closet and dug out this little baby doll. She carried that with her everywhere she went. I checked months later and she remained as happy as could be.

Schizophrenia Improved by Separation from Original Nuclear Family
by Clancy D. McKenzie, M.D.
This is not an indictment of the parent nor is it something the parent is doing wrong. Psychosis is a partial return to infant mind/brain/reality. This should be obvious when you see a full-grown man sitting in the middle of the floor screaming “Mommy! Mommy!” Once the shift to infant mind and brain occurs, any contact with original family members becomes a parent to infant relationship, keeping the patient locked into infant mind and brain.
One hour of correct understanding, combined with complete separation from original family, might be sufficient to eliminate half of all schizophrenia.
One patient, for example, remained completely well following hospitalization, but once each year for seven years she made one phone call home, and each time began hearing voices within one to two weeks and required medication for a little while. Most cases are not that dramatic, but invariably separation – with help at a distance – is curative and brings the quickest and most dramatic results.
At the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences I was told of a study where a group of schizophrenic patients were taken to an isolated top of a mountain for a few months and the symptoms disappeared – but after returning home again all the symptoms reappeared within two or three months.
In the largest study of its kind, GW Brown of London, commissioned by the Medical Research Council of England, studied factors in the post mental hospital environment which led to the re-hospitalization of 339 mental patients. One factor alone stood out. It was not whether they took their medication or not. It was whether they returned home to live or went anywhere else to live. Those who returned home returned to the mental hospital.
Shocked, the researchers searched for what it could possibly be in the home environment that would lead to re-hospitalization. Ultimately they identified the expressed emotion (EE) factor and reported that a low EE factor was better than a high EE factor. True, but a zero EE factor, brought about by complete, total separation and disassociation from original family, is immeasurably better. According to my findings, seeking a low EE factor might be equivalent to a person with cancer who wants to get rid of most of it.
How long must separation be maintained? This varies from patient to patient, but with schizophrenia it might be several years — until the patient is independent and established in a life of his or her own. The total aim is to move from infant mind and brain to that of the adult, as much as possible, as quickly as possible, and for as long as possible.
Tons of free self-help information is available on www.DrMcKenzie.com and www.BabiesNeedMothers.com . This includes lectures and video recordings.
My finding is that the mind focuses on the point in time where there is the most extreme threat to survival. If that moment is a life-threat in the present, the patient automatically might shift from infant reality (psychosis) to adult mind/brain/reality, and thereby come out of an acute psychosis.
In France during the war the asylum doors were opened and patients told: “The Germans are coming and they are going to kill you.” Many of the regressed schizophrenic patients reportedly shifted immediately to the adult mind/brain/reality and responded appropriately.
I’ve personally seen this many times. When Gary Heidnik, who chained six women in the basement of a small row house because he wanted babies, was captured and taken to prison, he immediately returned from his bizarre infant reality to adult mind/brain/reality because other inmates tried to kill him.
This might be one reason shock treatment worked, along with the dunking chairs of yesteryear. I am not advocating these earlier treatment modalities, but pointing to why they might have been effective. One recovered patient with schizophrenia described his means of preventing movement back into “dreamland” reality: He would mount a fast horse and race through the woods, hanging on for dear life. That brought him out of the infant mind/brain/reality and right into that of the adult.

DSM-V
By · CommentsDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
Cahlil Gibran, in the book The Prophet, wrote that thought is a bird of space that in a cage of words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly. This might be the problem with DSM. It is an attempt to give everyone a diagnostic label so no one has to think any more. All the expert has to do is make the correct diagnosis and find the pill that fits that label. This eliminates practically all thought, and it does nothing in terms of understanding origin, mechanism, precipitating and perpetuating factors, treatment and prevention. It might be nothing more than an attempt to match a diagnostic label with a certain pill. This might work to the advantage of the pharmaceutical companies, but not necessarily so for the patient.
If I am correct in my findings, I would prefer to see nomenclature developed which is dependent strictly on age of origin of the disorder. This already begins to provide some understanding as to origin and mechanism.
Freud did this somewhat with various ages of origin of symptoms of neuroses, some relating to the oral stages, others relating to the anal, genital and oedipal stages of development. He also nearly grasped the two trauma mechanism when he wrote about war neuroses (1926) and noted that persons who had prior anxiety were more prone to develop this. Thus he set a precedent – which might be wise to follow.
There are age-of-origin-specific landmarks that are easily recognized and which would form the basis for a new nomenclature based on understanding: Catatonic schizophrenia clearly has its origin in a near-death experience at birth. When else do we, in our life cycle, hold one posture for days at a time and then suddenly erupt in a violent thrusting motion of the body as if in a life-and-death struggle? Supporting this is the fact that it used to be quite common but now is relatively uncommon. The reason? Modern obstetrics, with its greatly reduced incidence of near-death experiences at birth.
Borderline personality disorder appears to come next, based on a number of surveys, followed by disorganized type schizophrenia from the time of stranger anxiety (mostly eight to nine months). Paranoid thought has its origin mostly from the time the baby starts to walk – and its “whole world” (mother) watches and follows it everywhere it goes. This extends well into the schizo-affective range (mostly 19 to 21 months). The earlier the age of paranoid thought the more bizarre: Paranoid thought from 21 months might be “those people over there are talking about me.” From 17 months it can be “they are talking about me on TV,” and from 13 to 15 months it might be “aliens have implanted something in my brain and are monitoring and controlling everything I do” (this is because the infant experiences the reality, most intensely at that age, that everything is being monitored and controlled.) Affect begins to creep in with trauma of age 18 months and beyond. (Perhaps earlier the infant is so traumatized by what it experiences as a threat of separation that it simply remains numb.) Bipolar disorder hypomanic type peaks at age 22 months. Almost invariably, if there is a sibling less than 3 years younger, it will be 22 months younger. The rest of the psychotic depressions extend up to 24 months. Non-psychotic depressions extend from 24 to 34 months, with a few specific age-of-origin landmarks along the way.
The original trauma is a relative degree of physical or emotional separation from mother — as experienced by the infant. This can be as simple as the birth of a sibling. All these disorders then are precipitated later in life by a similar separation from some other “most important person” (husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend — or group). Once the defensive wall is broken down, recurrences happen with little further provocation.
This new nomenclature would be tied to understanding of origin.
Modifiers would be percentage movement into the earlier mind and brain, how long the person has had the condition, age of onset, number of remissions, etc.
I realize there has been far too much investment in DSM for people to suddenly shift gears. Only survey data could bring this about. We do have highly significant data on the 6,000 in the Finnish database and the 2,669 in the Danish cohort on schizophrenia – but this needs to be refined to indicate month of origin and not just year of origin. I have several simple studies that would confirm or negate these findings very quickly, and at relatively little cost.

Dream of the Week
By · CommentsDream of the Week
This site is for those who need overnight answers, or even an overnight miracle.
A simple technique enables anyone to utilize all levels of consciousness during sleep to solve any problem, whether medical, financial, emotional, marriage, pregnancy, relationships, finding work, resolving trauma. No problem is too great to solve during sleep using this technique.
Programmed Dream of the Week:
A young lady told me she was looking for a job. That’s no problem I replied, as I began writing the dream for her: “I will have a dream about employment, and the interpretation of the dream will tell me exactly what to do. I will awaken at the very end of the dream, remember it and write it down.”
The next morning she awakened and couldn’t recall the dream – but that didn’t stop the dream from working. When she awakened she suddenly decided to go to the hairdresser, and then she decided to do her nails first. By “coincidence” the hairdresser was not there, and so the owner had decided to take her place. Immediately he noticed this young lady’s nails and asked who did them. “I did,” she replied, “I used to do nails.”
“Would you do nails here?” he asked. “Our person who does nails is eight months pregnant and will not be returning. Nine “coincidences” had occurred following the programming. Is this the Holy Spirit at work?
In case you did not connect the coincidences with the programming the night before, I will give one more to illustrate how effective this technique can be:
A man said his wife was thinking about finding a job. Immediately I wrote the programmed dream to give her: “I will have a dream about employment and the interpretation of the dream will tell me exactly what to do. I will awaken at the very end of the dream, remember it and write it down.”
The next month when I saw him and asked about his wife’s dream, he revealed that during sleep she learned that she should get a housekeeping job at the Marriott Hotel. But that’s not the end of the story. She decided to take a bus into Philadelphia, and happened to meet a friend she had not seen for years. The friend asked her what she was doing and she said she was thinking about finding a job in housekeeping at a hotel. The friend replied “Girl, this is your lucky day; I am supervisor of housekeeping at the Marriott Hotel and I am looking to fill three positions!”
If you are looking for work, try using the precise words
I will interpret the programmed dreams as long as the questions are formulated with great precision and the answer is not limited to choice A or B – because there may be a million alternatives.
The question should be formulated: “I will have a dream about __________, and the interpretation of the dream will tell me exactly what to do. I will awaken at the very end of the dream, remember it and write it down.”
You might fill in the __________ above with one of the following phrases: “the relationship with _____” “my medical problem” “my marriage”
Thinking about an abortion?
Try programming: “I will have a dream about the pregnancy, and the interpretation of the dream will tell me exactly what to do that will work out best.”
Grieving over the loss of a loved one? Decide: “I will have a dream about _________. The dream will not be upsetting, and the dream itself will resolve all upset feelings.
Submit your dream with the precise wording used and the answer you received, and I will comment as time allows.
Love’s Great Power
By · CommentsProper nutrition, exercise, and relaxation are recognized as vital ingredients for a long and healthy life. But a fourth ingredient, LOVE, can add as much to one’s energy and longevity as all other factors combined; and yet this important factor is all but omitted from current health protocols and even from scientific study.
While love’s great power might be overlooked in modern science, it is not lost in scripture. For example, in Song of Solomon 8:6-7, “Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away.”
Love’s powerful effects are noticed but not deciphered. Take for example a man who eats nothing but junk food, smokes, doesn’t exercise, drinks beer, sports a potbelly, and leads a stressful life. If he falls in love, suddenly he has more energy than a person who lives on health food and exercises daily. What is the source and mechanism for this enormous flow of energy? How can we harness it and use it at will?
These questions are especially important in the health fields because this energy is also the healing energy, or the life force itself.
A new definition helps make sense of this powerful but elusive and subtle energy: Love is an attention or energy directed outward, the by-product of which is happiness. The opposite is need or desire, which is the same attention or energy directed back to the self, and the by-product of which is unhappiness. Reverse the direction of flow of attention or energy and you have the opposite feeling. Fall in love and you are in a state of bliss, but as soon as you want the other person to love you, you are miserable.
Fall in love and you have so much energy you can work day and night, but as soon as you reverse the direction of flow back to the self “Oh woe is me, aches and pains,” you have so little energy you can hardly move.
Subliminally, we see this love energy. When a person falls in love, we say, “He’s beaming, glowing, radiant, vibrant, turned on.” Thus we see, at some level, an aura which brightens in proportion to the increase in love.
Holy people or saintly individuals are those who approach total love, and they are depicted with bright auras or halos or surrounded by light. They also are known for their great joy, peace, and bliss.
Strange Dream
By · CommentsDreams that Reach beyond the Dreamer
Recently, a woman programmed a dream to find a job. The dream was about housekeeping at the Marriott Hotel. She boarded a bus that morning, met an old friend who asked her what she was doing, and she told her about deciding to work in housecleaning for a hotel. Her friend replied, “Girl, this is your lucky day!
I am supervisor of housekeeping at the Marriott, and I am looking to fill three positions.” Coincidence? Perhaps, but Philadelphia is a large city. What is the probability of two persons riding the same bus at the same time and both thinking about the same job, in the same hotel, on the same morning after the programmed dream that told one to get a housekeeping job at the Marriott?
How often should such coincidences occur? There is a point where it might be more reasonable to suspect a power outside of our realm of awareness operating to make the connection.
