It was never Bipolar Disorder (and hallucinations during manic episodes), never OCD, never anxiety, not depression, not ADHD. It was her body screaming out for help.<\/p>\n<p>This book was published in 1975. 50 years ago!!<\/p>\n<p>In August of 2024, I found metabolic therapies. I changed our diet. I threw out ALL of my groceries and went to the farm. 7 days later, she was off her afternoon meds. 3 weeks after that, we found Brain Energy and added the ketogenic diet to our metabolic therapies. 3 days after that, she woke up an entirely new child. She was off all medication within the next 2 weeks and in remission ever since. From treatment resistant to living her best life in 6 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>We are built from food.
