This downloadable book by "Harold D. Foster" has interesting statistics and ideas about Schizophrenia, including lesser-known treatment modalities that seem to have had some very good results in some patients. The book looks at this particular illness as a whole in society, including neurochemical imbalances, food allergens/diet, genetics, social factors and many cited studies over the course of history, trying to help weave together different specialisations into a clearer understanding of what might be the cause. There are some different treatments in here that i'd never heard of and are not commonly talked about, that seem like they could offer some hope, which made me want to share it incase it might be of use to anyone, or their loved ones. http://www.hdfoster.com/Foster_Schizophrenia.pdf
