Study Finds Cessation Of Masturbation And Light Cardio May Be An Effective New Treatment For Patients Suffering With Extreme Cases Of Paranoid-Schizophrenia.
Jodi Sciandra Phd, a psychologist working out of Gilbert, Arizona recently participated in an extended study of male in-patients residing in Coalinga State Hospital in California, suffering from a wide range of severe, previously thought to be incurable and only manageable mental, personality and hormonal disorders, from drug addiction, to gender dysphoria, and all the way up to their most unstable of schizophrenic patients who were not responding to medication or group therapy.
The selected trial patients were moved to an empty building located on the Keck School of Medicine's property, University of South California's esteemed medical school, where they were greeted by medical students assisting Sciandra's program.
"The patients were in a rough state," a student told us. "Most arrived restrained to stretchers for our safety and were unresponsive to stimuli. Some in our team abandoned the project on the spot and returned to the classroom. It was scary, I don't blame them."
Once there, the patients were put on a strict schedule of jogging, lifting weights, and frequent therapeutic interaction with female actors composed of the medical staff who simulated a gym atmosphere full of positive reinforcement, and were encouraged to really push themselves to their physical limits during the exercise.
Patients were monitored all waking hours to ensure no masturbation took place, and were put to bed in special restraints with their arms far from their abdomens so they could not touch themselves.
There was a notable positive change in the patients in less than 72 hours.
"It was a miracle," an employee of Coalinga State Hospital tells us. "I visited the college building and met with our former most violent patient, a sufferer of low-functioning autism. When I walked in, they had him running on a treadmill and were passing a football back and forth with the man. I visited with him in a conference room and he was smiling and very verbose and articulate, telling me he had made a long-distance girlfriend on the Internet while in the program. I couldn't believe it! We thought him to be a mute. It really has changed my perspective on medicine."
Jodi Sciandra had this to say: "Every single one of our patients in the program were fully rehabilitated and made a full return to society, with none relapsing and coming back to the hospitals. I always had faith in this program and I'm so proud to see it in action."
She had a message for any of our readers struggling in life: "Just be yourself."
