Trepanation is a procedure in which the physician makes a hole in the skull by way of drilling, and this is said to increase the functionality of the brain which in turn is supposed to increase over all well being. This method was used to treat the mental illnesses as well as seizures, and anything thought to be caused by the brain being unbalanced.
His first assignment was to study a controversial book written over 50 years ago by Dr. Max Gerson.Dr. Gerson found that diet could, and did, cure cancer.

A portion of his childhood had to be told to him. For example, when Schonborn was going to multiple surgeons and doctors at the start of his childhood in order to fix his cleft, he did not have the mental capability to understand or remember what was going on in his life at the time. Thus, on page 18 of Cleft Heart, the reader can see that Schonborn’s mother probably told him about what happened in their small cottage while they were trying to make accommodations for his needs until they could get his cleft fixed and he could function in a more normal way. He had to have his face taped together and the tape constantly changed in order to prevent suffocation. He also had to be fed all his food from an eyedropper, this was
Neuropathy prevented Ian seeing where his body was which is a petrifying feeling; literally Ian was “The Man who Lost His Body”. It took a year for Ian to stand up safely and six months to put on his sock, this sensory process was long and tedious. This documentary taught me how we are fortunate to have sensory abilities; most people take it for granted because it’s natural. It was unbelievable how Ian recovered from this illness.

Shafer !1 Mindy Shafer Mrs. Gonder AP Lang, Period 2 21 November 2014 The Issue of Insanity Defense The defense of the insane dates back to the Hammurabi Code, but the issue of using the insanity plea as a tactical defense has become more prevalent today. The proper use of the insanity defense has changed the lives of many people actually suffering with mental illnesses by giving them a chance to heal and make progress on their recovery. The insanity defense, however, can also exempt criminals from their full punishments by sending them to a mental hospital until they are "cured." Even though the insanity defense is easy to define, insanity itself has no real universal legal definition, and the lack of said definition causes problems when convicting criminals. Since insanity is defined so arbitrarily, lawyers can protect their clients from their punishments with relative ease by dragging out the legal process for years at a time by using the insanity defense.
