Hearing voices should be addressed from the reticular formation, located within the brain stem. This is an area which has not been studied. It can be affected by magnetic action. This can come from both a physical magnet or series of magnets. North being the top of your head and the right side. South being feet and left side of brain. Or it can addressed by generating heat in your hands and using the magnetic attraction which is developed according to north south or the side of the patients head. Patient can interlock fingers and work hands from the front of his scalp to the neck and back for at least 30 seconds each time. The need for medication will disappear within 15 days. All of this information emanates from my research. I can explain the relationship. Frank
