What kinds of effect are there in this kind of medication? I can think
of destructive medications, blockers and "cleaners". Can schizophrenia
be cured permanently or only temporarily? Like, for instance, a
medication that impregantes the brain and remains there as a blocker,
or medication which destroys specific parts of the brain? Somebody know
about naxium? Is it an antipsychotic?

schizophrenia is a horrible problem. People with schizophrenia have horrible
halluciations. People and sounds that they think are there are totally in
their imaginations.  I would not wish this on anyone.

Antispsychotic medications are able to decrease or eliminate the these
halluciations.

There are others who have  described this better than I can:

Temporarily. If you go off the medications, the symptoms return.

There is a drug called nexium. It is a stomach drug.

Neither.  It cannot be cured at all.

Research the positive effects of omega 3 fatty acids and schizophrenia. You
will be amazed at the answers.
 Prescription medications do not correct problems they just treat
symptoms.

Alas, if that were true, schizophrenia would be unknown in groups with
diets high in cold water fish, e.g. native people of coastal areas of
Canada and elsewhere.  Unfortunately, schizophrenia occurs at about the
same rate in every culture on earth.

And do you believe a course of fish oil cures schizophrenia?  I.e.
it "corrects" the "problem", so symptoms don't return if the person
stops taking it?

Do you believe controlling symptoms isn't valuable?  Preventing death
and suffering by controlling symptoms?  Controlling symptoms while the
body repairs itself?  Slowing or stopping the progression of a disease
by controlling the destructive symptoms, e.g. inflammation in
arthritis?

Lots of prescription medications do the above worthy tasks, and some do
cure diseases so they don't recur after the drug is stopped.
Antibiotics for infections, for example, and cancers cured by
chemotherapy.

Perhaps you think medications that control pain are useless, as well as
many drugs like insulin, anti-arrhythmia agents, antihypertensives,
etc, which can give people months, years or decades of life.  Or drugs
to control the symptoms of disabling conditions like arthritis and
schizophrenia which can greatly improve functionality and quality of
life for people with these serious chronic diseases.

Well, I'm posting the questions.  Will you answer them here?  Or do you
have a stock answer, one that advertises your sales of magic "supplements"
to "cure" all ills?

This statement makes one believe .. vegetable .. omega 3's are the ones
which should have been mentioned ..

They are NOT .. the same ..

One leads to high levels of oxidation .. fish oil .. the other ..
diminished / lower levels of oxidation .. vegetable / plant oil ..

Beneficial effects of vitamin C and vitamin E on reserpine-induced oral
dyskinesia in rats: Critical role of striatal catalase activity.

Paulo, Brazil.

Oral dyskinesias are implicated in a series of neuropathologies and
have been associated to an increase in oxidative stress. Several
antioxidants, including vitamin E, decrease reserpine-induced oral
dyskinesia (OD) in rodents and we have described a protective role of
striatal catalase against the development of OD. The aim of this study
was to verify the effects of vitamin C alone or in combination with
vitamin E on reserpine-induced OD as well as to determine a possible
role of catalase in the antidyskinetic property of these vitamins.
Different doses of vitamin C attenuated reserpine-induced increase in
OD. A similar treatment with an effective dose of vitamin C concomitant
to an effective dose of vitamin E potentiated the antidyskinetic effect
of both vitamins when administered alone. The administration of these
vitamins alone produced an increase in striatal catalase activity that
likewise was potentiated by their combined administration. In addition,
the antidyskinetic property of vitamin E and vitamin C was abolished by
a concomitant treatment with the catalase inhibitor aminotriazole.
These results indicate a beneficial effect of these vitamins and
reinforce the critical role of striatal catalase against the
development of oral dyskinesias.
