Abstract

A method for treating schizophrenia in human patients by hemoperfusion using hemoperfusion of the patient's blood through a charcoal cartridge in a manner for selective removal of molecules is disclosed. The method may use known hemoperfusion cartridges for a heretofore completely unappreciated application and has the advantages of lesser side effects and easier implementation than other known methods of treatment.
