We are now in the 'beta' testing phase of the Silent Mind Technique™, which is our method for eliminating the 'voices' (auditory hallucinations) of schizophrenia. If all goes well, we want to see this technique become easily available worldwide as soon as possible.


A request for schizophrenic clients:

            Thank you for your interest in our schizophrenic symptom elimination project. At this time, the Institute is currently looking for people with medically diagnosed schizophrenia to participate in a study of our schizophrenia symptom elimination process. If you are interested, please read the material on this webpage - all relevant information is included. If you have questions or wish to become involved, call our office at 25-413-3211 in western Canada.

Clients who have used our technique have written testimonials.


The Schizophrenia Symptoms Elimination Procedure Study

            Currently, we are starting large scale testing of our treatment for schizophrenia on clinically diagnosed patients. If you are interested in becoming involved, you should phone us at 250-413-3211.
            When this testing process is finished, we will be certifying therapists in our technique. Therapists certified in our procedures charge only for cures, not time. If they can't help, there is no fee.

Project Background:
            We have a reasonably well-tested technique that permanently eliminates 'mind chatter' ("distracting thoughts") in ordinary people, giving them what we call the 'silent mind' state of consciousness. (If you are not sure what 'mind chatter' is referring to, a simple way to identify it is to do a 15 minute breath meditation (zen, vipassana), and note the annoying "random" or "distracting" thoughts.) We've found that almost everyone has this problem, but that some people find the 'chatter' much more obtrusive than others. Our testing has showed that the "psychotic auditory hallucinations" of schizophrenia are actually ordinary 'mind chatter' but heard without the normal suppression that keeps them minimized. In essence, schizophrenics have enhanced awareness and not a mental illness per se. The disease of schizophrenia is thus just one end of a continuum of awareness that almost everyone is on.
            We’ve discovered that this problem of mind chatter is due to a certain type of very early prenatal trauma, and is not due to genetic or other physical reasons. A simple technique that targets and heals the appropriate prenatal developmental event permanently eliminates the problem, leaving the person without any distracting thoughts.

What you can expect to be cured:
            The process eliminates the voices schizophrenics hear. Based on our testing so far, we are confident that we can eliminate the 'voices'. Other delusions are not addressed with this process, although in very limited testing the process has eliminated visual hallucinations also. Part of this study is to find out what other problems remain after the 'voices' are eliminated, and apply other techniques to eliminate them also.
            The process also eliminates channeling and the spiritual emergency called demonic possession.

What happens during the process, and how does it take place:
            The current process takes about 1-2 hours. We do two sessions to be sure the process worked, spread a week or so apart. For the test study, we anticipate longer interactions with clients, over several months.
            No physical intervention is needed, no chemicals or drugs. We use state-of-the-art trauma healing techniques for the process. The client does not need to be able to follow verbal directions, but it is helpful.

Consent and Liability Agreement:
            If you decide to participate in our study, we will require you (or your guardian) to fill out the consent, confidentiality and liability form (which can be downloaded as a pdf file) before you start the treatment procedure. This protects us and also allows us to keep the method proprietary so that we can retain rights on the process for purposes of safety and quality control. All the necessary documentation for prospective clients is included on this web page and the associated pdf file so that you can read them over at your leisure, to decide if it's something you'd be interested in pursuing.

Current Status on the Testing:
            We've tested this process for a number of years on over 100 mentally healthy, non-schizophrenic volunteers, with no unexpected problems. (The process has permanently eliminates 'mind chatter' in these people). An earlier, more complex form of the process was used successfully on four seriously ill schizophrenics.

The Project Staff:
            We are looking for a team of people to follow through on this project - coordinators, healers, etc. Medical or psychological certification is not required among our staff.

Current Peer Reviewed Research
            Conventional belief is that schizophrenia is a disorder of the neurochemistry of the brain, in spite of the fact that no such mechanism has ever been found. Recently, because of some landmark studies in the last 10 years, a major shift in understanding the cause of schizophrenia in psychology and psychiatry has started to take place. There is now excellent peer reviewed studies showing that schizophrenia has to be caused and/or triggered by trauma (just as we empirically proved by actually developing a technique that eliminated the problem of schizophrenic 'voices' by healing key trauma). We refer you to just some of the many peer review journal articles and articles written for laypeople:

  • A very good summary about schizophrenia can be found online in the Wikipedia.
  • "Prenatal exposure to maternal stress and subsequent schizophrenia: The May 1940 invasion of the Netherlands" by Dr.s J. van Os and J. P. Selten, 1998 article on in the British Journal of Psychiatry 172:324-326. This was a key study linking prenatal trauma to schizophrenia.
  • PubMed lists related papers on trauma and schizophrenia in its database.
  • "Childhood trauma, psychosis and schizophrenia: a literature review with theoretical and clinical implications" by J. Read, J. Os, A. P. Morrison, and C. A. Ross, Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, Volume 112:5 November 2005, pp. 330-350.
  • "Delayed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Model for Schizophrenia and Depression: The Unification Theory of Mental Illness", Dr. Clancy McKenzie M.D. 1998, Trauma Response, Volume 4 Number 2. Dr. McKenzie, studying thousands of schizophrenics in the USA, found that trauma in the first years of life was at the root of cause of schizophrenia in the people studied. Another version is "A Unification Theory of Mental Illness", 1998, Frontier Perspectives, Volume 7, Number 2, Temple University, Philadelphia.
  • Delayed Post Traumatic Stress Disorders from Infancy: The Two Trauma Mechanism, by C McKenzie and LS Wright, 1996, Amsterdam: Harwood Academic Publishers.

  • Trauma, Metacognition and Predisposition to Hallucinations In Non-Patients" by AP Morrison, and T Petersen, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2003, 31: 235-246.

            Of even more importance, the conventional model says that, by definition, if you hear voices ("auditory hallucinations"), you are mentally ill with schizophrenia. (A diagnosis of schizophrenia using the DSM 4 categories is not very repeatable from therapist to therapist, but roughly 70% of people with this diagnosis hear 'voices'.) Recent studies at NIMH in the USA show that 2/3 of the population that reports hearing voices has no other sign of mental illness whatsoever. Several other studies also agree with this. There is a 'continuum' that people are on - most 'schizophrenics' are totally sane, except that they 'hear voices' - the same voices that most people do. This is also in agreement with our own findings.

            Our full model that identifies the intermediate mechanism that causes 'mind chatter' also accounts for other very puzzling phenomena found by researchers who study schizophrenia. For example, some people deaf from birth also report hearing 'voices'. ("Hallucinations in Deaf People with a Mental Illness: Lessons from the Deaf Clients", by D Briffa, 1999, Australasian Psychiatry, 7(2) pp 72-74. A popularized article about people with this condition is "Hearing about the voices of the deaf", 2005 in Psychminded.co.uk.)
