SCHIZOPHRENIA
Schizophrenia is a complex illness that should be divided into different categories of severity. There are two main components to the illness: a breakdown in the brain filter system and brain circuitry difficulty. If a filter breakdown between the thinking brain and feeling brain occurs after a stressful event, then the prognosis of homeopathic treatment is quite good. But, when schizophrenia occurs without an inciting event and begins early on in life, it means the brain circuits have not matured. When a filter breakdown occurs in addition to these factors, this scenario has a worse prognosis for recovery. In both scenarios, the intensity of the distortion signals in the feeling brain that are confusing the thinking brain can be quieted. Violent and paranoid tendencies can be reduced. The homeopathic medicines are gentle stimuli to help the brain mature and build a better filter system by quieting the inner brain. For more violent or severe cases, we need to re-establish in-patient settings where relapses and standard medication tapering can be monitored and dealt with appropriately. Milder cases of schizophrenia or transient psychotic episodes can respond quite well to homeopathic treatment. The milder the psychotropic medications used in treatment, the better the prognosis of success.

SCLERODERMA
Refer to the paragraph on rheumatoid arthritis, since the treatment is similar.

SINUSITIS
Recurrent sinusitis is dramatically increasing in our population. It is caused by old grief and the associated physical weakness in the immune system. Sterile sinusitis means swollen membranes without an infection. This is often blamed on allergies. Allergies can cause sinusitis, however if you have tried allergy medication and the sinusitis is still persistent, it is probably from sterile sinusitis. It can also manifest from contracting a severe sinus infection, causing the disturbed tissue to be vulnerable to grief signals which take advantage of the weakened tissue. Once the floodgates have opened they are not easily closed. Homeopathic medicine is used to bring down inflammation and resolve grief simultaneously. Results are commonly rapid and an initial period of increased sinus drainage is common. The typical cloudy headed feelings are relieved once the drainage occurs. When the sinus membrane inflammation recedes, the wet or congested feelings decrease.

SKIN - LACK OF TONE
Rapid skin aging can advance when the distortion signals of grief inhabit the skin for too many years. Lack of skin tone represents the breakdown of elastic tissue underneath the skin. This cannot be resolved by applying creams or other topical treatments. The signal to the skin must change to one of strength and resiliency. It can be quite striking to see a patient's face change over several months of homeopathic treatment as they find their inner strength.

STIFFNESS
Chronic stiffness is disabling, and is often a precursor to arthritis. It can also lead to degenerative disc disease or disc herniation in the neck or low back. The distortion signal of stiffness is the tight control of emotions. These emotions are commonly fear and anger underneath a veneer of calmness and indifference. The stiffness is the cost paid for covered vulnerability. Fearful reactions can lead to embarrassment or exposed weakness that is intolerable to the patient. The English "stiff upper lip" represents this nicely, and thin lips are common in a stiff person. With successful treatment, stiffness reduces and the lips become looser and more full. The patient will become more emotional over time, often to the joy of their loved ones.

SWELLING
Swelling, not caused by an injury, is usually caused by grief. We all know the typical look of grief as swollen eyes and face, however swelling anywhere in the body can be the same process. Swelling in the legs is often a loose swelling as opposed to the tight swelling in the legs caused from obesity and gravitational pressure. Cysts, such as those in the ovaries, can also be manifestations of grief and swelling. Ions in the body transfer the message of grief throughout the tissues. Often an substance containing ions is used to reverse this process. Water can drain out of the body after high dose treatment, but long standing swelling can take years of treatment to bring tone back to the dermis. Cysts can often shrink completely as the grief and weak feelings resolve.
