Have you learned about harmful effects of EMF exposure from WIFI, cell phones, and wireless technology? It can cause negative health effects.

Also WiFi routers are now using more dangerous "5G" technology which gives more radiation

You hurt yourself with keto diet! Please quit keto and go vegan, trust me it will improve your condition.

Why would I pay $5 a month to talk to other schizophrenics? Also aren’t most schizophrenics in extreme poverty? So this is for the high class schizophrenics that aren’t homeless or broke the day after they get their ssi?

​@Robert-tn7yz so smart. I know you can get through this, your so smart. You've helped me more than you know. Please don't ever give up mate.

Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!

Yes, dr.larks I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

Is he on instagram?

Yes he is. dr.larks

Agree completely!

There is a reason why the Inuit - among other groups - have adapted to not be able to go into ketosis. It can be hazardous, especially long-term.. Furthermore, most people don't have the time, money, and access to quality assistance to do this right. Lauren's experiences are merely a single data point and not proof of anything. The placebo effect is real and needs to be accounted for. The keto space, among others, is filled with dangerous scam artists and as we have learned, people are really susceptible to misinformation so they need access to real professionals. That said, I enjoy her videos and cheer her on, and hope it is at least helpful over the short term. Hopefully, she can take no more than low dosages of psych meds in the worst case. Psych meds have done severe damage to me so I am definitely cheering her on.

Yes. Stay discipline and focus on the diet 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

except when I read that someone's autistic son is being forced on the diet bc his dad says so. I'm all about a holistic approach but keto isn't going to work for everyone.

This woman haa been destroyed by antipsycotics

Who said told you so? Them peoples in and out the hospital and can’t hold a job or nothing.

That sounds so good!

very cool

😂 I keep getting these two mixed up in my brain.

Hopefully for metamorphosis

Love it!

I can well understand anyone avoiding the medications. They have awful long term and short term side effects, and antipsychotics can mean being in derealization constantly while on them. Which is like non existence. Would your brother be more open to being on a special diet to improve his mental health? That doesn't require a stigmatising label or such severe side effects or being trapped due to withdrawal effects and an expectation that you'll stay on for life.

You're brother is sick and alone without you're accompany.Living sick+ alone is a hell.

@@silfernandez3048 my brother is 55 and he's not willing to do anything to help does his mental illness. I've been out this since he was 19 because he didn't have schizophrenia before that plus my brother does recreational drugs. The one thing I know I cannot do in this life is change anybody's mind and life if they don't to. I pray for my brother every night

@@silfernandez3048 he doesn't live alone. He helps out in the group home and he's pretty happy actually more than he's ever been because he is being helpful and he's needed

Can you tell us why he doesn't think he has schizophrenia? Does he belive someone is attacking him?

Me too.

that's a magazine, not a health professional sitting across from you

It's becsuse animal fats are very healthy & nutritious. The brain thrives on fat, not on protein or carbs.

Yes!

I don't think we know how far the healing can go yet. If this is truly a disease of mitochondira dysfunction, as Dr. Chris Palmer is suggesting, who is to say that correcting that mitochondria dysfunction may not eventually lead to a completely "normal" brain function? We can have cautious hope.

I believe this is what you really need to concentrate on...whilst the not tracking the ketones etc. as diligently is obviously important, I believe that you are perhaps minimizing how slowly and safely the medication needs to be reduced...especially when getting down to the lower doses. There is no rush. Cheers from Australia

She discussed this curve in an earlier video.

No need to give unsolicited medical advice

@@chunkyoctopus It's a comments section. I'll make comments as I choose. Being in a similar situation with psychiatric medications makes me empathetic for Lauren's situation. If SHE chooses to block my comment that is up to her... Not you. Your choice is to reply; my choice is to stand by my comment and move on.

I take excedrine for this. So I should cut it down by 10%?

Sometimes it just takes a can do attitude…

@natas12rm While an optimistic mindset is certainly very advantageous in most aspects of life, a balanced or realistic mindset is what is needed for successful mental health recovery. 🙂

@@samdoyle5155 what would a balance look like to you?

​@@natas12rm hmm. Not so sure about that.

@@india1422 why not?

UR DANGEROULY MISLEADING AND FOOLISH TO BE GIVING UNEDUCATED GENERALIZATIONS LIKE A DOTING GRANDMOTHER!!!

Agree. Also relatives see one bad episode and get frightened and pressure their relative to go on meds and stay on them permanently. Rather than seeing that as a route out of crisis to stability, in order to change lifestyle, to then be in a place to reduce medication carefully, with or without strict diets such as keto. Medications can be necessary, but they are not food, even though we are omnivores. That means in a sense they're poisons. No one would choose to stay on chemotherapy for a lifetime. Same with antipsychotics.

You mean highly effective drugs like lithium or imipramine right? Because I'm not seeing people on those, I'm seeing people on rubbish that has tiny effect sizes. Lithium has an effect size of around 0.85 in acute mania. That's pretty close to full remission. Full remission isn't just some casual word to be tossed around. You yourself seem to be arguing that her illness is too severe to be treated with diet alone. Well ok, so how do you explain her getting results that mimic that of lithium. I know you'll say "oh but it's just one person", thinking no doubt that science is all about large trials with lots of people because you can have flukes right? Wrong, whether you can have "fluke" depends entirely on the illness being treated. Max Fink and Bernard Carroll, demonstrated that melancholia, a very specific disease state that can be tested for using laboratory methods, dexamethasone suppression test and sleep EEG, is highly placebo resistant, so placebo resistant that placebo just flat out does nothing in these patients. Would you like to guess the specific type of depression people with Schizoaffective disorder suffer from? Melancholia, see the work Bernard Carroll on that point. Now Carroll's teacher was a man called John Cade, the person who rediscovered lithium treatment in bipolar. After Cade came Mogens Schou who immediately recognised lithium's potential, why? Because of it gigantic effect size. Schou took one look and realised the effect size was so, so gigantic that you didn't really need to run trials, it was that effective that it just worked. What did Schou's detractors say, they said, that lithium is a salt, a natural health supplement. The most important drug ever discovered in mental health was poo poohed as a supplement. So we have a placebo resistant disease, melancholia that responds to the highly effective compound called lithium and to imipramine and to ECT. We know those treatments work for three reasons, 1) the gigantic effect size of those interventions, it's close to a "Lazarus effect", well not quite, lorazepam in catatonia is Lazarus effect, but if you read Max Fink or Mogen Schou you'll see what I mean. So what about keto, well it must work, for the exact same reason we know ECT, lithium, imipramine work and lorazepam in catatonia for that matter, because the disease is placebo resistant and because the patient "gets up" after receiving the drug. You don't need a giant randomised control trial for such a massive effect. RCTs are for situations where there is reason to suspect a fluke may be possible. There is very little possibility that Lauren, a person with severe Schizoaffective disorder, which science has demonstrated is placebo resistant, could just by some accidental fluke have psychosis and melancholia vanish and not return. It's true that it's a cyclical illness, so time will be the ultimate proof, but don't be so sure, you may just be witnessing what Cade witnessed with lithium, an effect so pronounced as to leave no doubt regarding efficacy.

For some people, medical keto absolutely is a cure. Guess you haven’t seen the paper about the woman who’d lived with schizophrenia for 50 years, couldn’t live alone, had a court appointed caretaker, on multiple meds, etc - but once she went on medical keto under dr supervision, she went into FULL remission, lived on her own, and went off all psych meds. The study followed up 10 years later and she was still on keto, and still in full remission. For some people, psych issues actually ARE metabolic issues, in their brains - and so metabolic solutions are required. It’s ok that that hasn’t been the case for you, but you aren’t everybody.

I agree

Meanwhile, psychiatrists are taking up ketosis and finding that it’s working for their patients. Doctor Christopher Palmer is seeing real progress in sixty-percent of his patients. Things are changing for the better, but many people won’t like that. Not being supportive of someone’s success is a sickness all on its own.

Be aware that fruits and vegetables have carbs!

​@@india1422yes, root vegetables including potatoes and carrots are heavy with carbs and some fruits are loaded with fructose sugar.

Kind words! Speaking as one whose life has been changed by Medibolic Thearpy, I can say it is soooo worth the hard work and sometimes frustration.

Keto can be helpful for autoimmune disorders as well ❤️ check out some of the research

@@sassysequence thank you i will. I just don’t think I can climb over the dilemma I face. Insurance will pay 100% for conventional treatments and if I do anything else then I have to pay and I’m on SSI. I see a rumatologist in August about testing positive for autoimmune so I’m not gonna worry about it till then.

"Is there a downside healthwise to stay on a keto genic diet?" Not much that anyone knows of. The state of ketosis was most likely the default state for most humans for most of our evolutionary time.

Just remember Lauren isn’t simply “going off her meds” (which has swiftly ended in disaster for her in the past, too) - she’s replacing the meds with something ELSE. That’s important.

I’m curious about this too!

Goat milk Nuts not peanuts Avocado tuna olive oil omega3 bluberries strawberry eggs schrimps fish chiken goat cheese

@@mariamaboumia9284 why no peanuts? 🤔

​@@lexisjones8109peanuts especially roasted have a somewhat higher carb content than other types of nut.

@@lexisjones8109 Peanuts are pretty high in carb! Are you keeping your total carb under 20 per day? That's the most strict version but will definitely produce ketones

Depression can certainly be cured. Been there, done that. However it's not depression she has but schizoaffective disorder.
