Nourishing Plot is written by a mom whose son has been delivered from
the effects of autism (asperger’s syndrome), ADHD, bipolar
disorder/manic depression, hypoglycemia and dyslexia through food.
I recently started eating bone broth and any probiotic food. If our gut is healthy there is less likely we will become sick including mental illness, i believe in this theory.
I am having a hard time accepting your title - “Priobotics can help cure, so eat more kraut”
There is no cure for schizophrenia - and surely probiotics are not going to cure schizophrenia, bipolar or any other serious disorder. It seems to me that you are purposefully veering others away from what does work, and has been scientifically proven to help control SZ symptoms - Meds.
If you are antipsychiatry or anti meds please stop attempting to steer others from taking their meds - just because medications are not for you, doesnt mean everyone else should follow your way of thinking.
Vitamins and nutrients - probiotics are not going to cure severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia - but I think you know this already
I buy the expensive probiotics that have to be kept refrigerated so they don’t spoil. I use them to help with my diverticular disease. I also eat a lot of kraut, but was unaware that it was loaded with probiotics. None of the above has affected my need to continue with my head meds as prescribed. Going without probiotics for a couple of weeks leaves me feeling a bit icky with gut issues, but won’t cause my cheese to start sliding off my cracker. Going without head meds immediately starts me down the path to instability.
My own recommendation – based on personal experience – is that absolutely, yes, people should consider probiotics, but only IN ADDITION to their head meds. It is a fact that improving your overall physical health improves your mental health, so a healthy diet and good exercise regimen should be the goal of every person with SZ.
Results: Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed no significant differences in the PANSS total score between probiotic and placebo supplementation (F = 1.28, P = .25)
