A MOTHER'S STORY OF SON'S RECOVERY FROM SCHIZOPHRENIA

My son was diagnosed with schizophrenia 5years ago, It starts off very similar to depression, you feel tired, unmotivated, and sometimes numb. Then he’ll begin to get confused, things didn't seem like they used to be. Then eventually he’ll begin hearing voices and possibly other types of hallucinations. Let me just summarize it as "a series of life-threatening symptoms of hallucinations, delusion, and depression".

He was a very bright and intelligent student in college but with schizophrenia, these aspirations are altered, and our expectations, hopes, and dreams for him go down the drain. He dropped out of college.  We then started with rigorous therapies, antipsychotic medications, and some controversial alternative treatments which didn't improve his condition. These challenges give us wounds, emotionally, mentally, and physically. There is no antipsychotic medicine we were not prescribed. Sometimes, we waited for the equivalent of a heart attack- the suicides, the overdoses, or violent outbursts- to occur before we do anything. We fought to find the best medical and rehabilitation services available but none of them seem to be effective.
 
The first time I heard about Consummo Herbs was in 2019 from a NAMI friend which I recently join, I have been a productive member of the society. I volunteer at church, have friends, and I’m a peer mentor and a mom. It was like finding calm in the chaos. Then quickly we started the treatment and gradually we began to see the improvement.I take the treatment seriously. He was no longer isolated, and all the symptoms of hallucinations, delusion, and depression subsided, begin eating and sleeping well.

Today, it has been 2years since my son recovered after taking Consummo treatment without any treatment, he is now living a complete, normal, healthy life and has returned to college. I understand the hopelessness, and loneliness millions of other caregivers are going through to make their loved ones live a meaningful and satisfying life. I'm purpose driven and want to take the time to encourage those on NAMI never to give up, It is not my intent to persuade or convince anyone, nor should it be considered a replacement for sound medical advice but rather for people to know there is an optional treatment, completely natural and has no side effects.  While everyone's journey is unique, numerous patients with paranoid schizophrenia are effectively treated with this mode of treatment.

Recovery from schizophrenia is possible. My son is an example of this possibility. He fought the stigma —not hiding from this world in shame. Let us do whatever we can to support their mental fight to rise above their pain, discrimination, and suffering.
