Suggest Treatment For Schizophrenia

My son has schizophrenia; he believes he is being targeted by the outside forces. He believes a person by the name of Dr. John Hall in Texas and someone named Roger Tallis in California can help him. He refuses to believe he has a mental illness. How can I best help him? Also have you ever heard of these people before?
