I did not know that ketogenic diets can help schizophrenia symptoms. The doctors are not telling us this. they’re just pushing pills.

The link isn’t clearly established yet, more research is needed. Some people get good results and others don’t. Best to discuss this with your own doctors before trying.

Yeah I get it. I would never advocate for someone stopping their medication. I just thought maybe the keto diet could augment what the medication is doing. As like them the secondary helper for the symptoms. Yeah I am not saying to people not to take their medicine. that’s not what I’m saying

I’ve been hearing a LOT about the effectiveness of the ketogenic diet for sz/sza on YouTube and I occasionally try to mention it here on this site and I just get flagged or deleted. @Loke I’ve never advocated for people stopping their meds either. And I agree that the research is limited. What’s more, because of the nature of the necessary research subjects, severely ill sz/sza patients, the research will probably always be very limited.
