[The battle of schizophrenia].
The notion of "dementia praecox" was introduced by Kraeplin to create a new mental illness like dementia paralytica of Bayle. Afterwards this new illness was called schizophrenia by Bleuler. From more half a century. I have studied this illness, specially the "Catatonia" theses researches pointed that catatonia is not an incurable disease but is a toxic reaction especially to colibacillar toxin and others toxins. I could reproduce the catatonia in animals with several toxics (in the beginning with de Jong from Amsterdam with bulbocapnine and afterwards with other toxins). To conclude, psychiatry must remain a part of general medicine with the arm of complete cura and with human feelings.
