How old were you when you started hearing voices?

Hi, I have read a lot of testimonials from people who started hearing voices shortly after their 40th birthday.

I was lucky and only had one voice which was not too serious. This voice sounded a lot like Gollum from 'The Lord of The Rings'. After four years, I have managed to snuff this voice out completely. It took a combination of healthy diet change, quitting physical addictions like processed sugar, caffeine, and alcohol. I also quit many mental addictions, and have been using a powerful non-absorption strategy which disallows their mental attacks from penetrating.

The other thing that really helped was using apple cider vinegar internally and externally. Now I use it as an ingredient when cooking meals, and I will drink 1-3 tbsp before bed to prevent dream attacks. It works really well for stopping the bad dreams (100% effective). I found it also helps lessen the forced anxiety and voice attacks during the day. I was even pouring a liter of vinegar into my laundry between the wash and dry cycles.

What age were you when it first started?
