Just this morning I read an article in the EpochTimes about a psychiatrist who may have actually stumbled on a cause and cure for mental illness. His patient was overweight, so to treat his self-esteem, the doctor put him on a keto diet. Patient not only lost weight but also his psych symptoms. Doctor tries this diet on other patients with great results. Concludes that mitochondrial problems cause mental problems.

This fits with another doctor ( neonatologist) who improved her husband's dementia by adding certain oils to his diet to improve brain glucose uptake. There is also some correlation between the hard belly fat in the omentum and dementia. Sorry those articles are not at my fingertips but I believe they were also in the Epoch Times.
Hey Tweety, it’s going. Had a good 4th of July, have taken a few days off doing any caretaking, which means Mom won’t be doing any holistic practices for a few days. Even though I know they’re helping, she won’t do anything unless I’m there telling her to or her doctor prescribes it. It weighs on you and I’m happy to be taking a step back for a bit.
Generally good...everything is just status quo...now that my hubby's testosterone is mostly gone he is tired...he was always busy...but also we are older so there is that...
My ill friend Sandy is out of the hospital/rehab after about 3+ weeks so I am back to taking her for appointments...I don't know how long she has...
Sometimes it is just a matter of hanging in there...please tell me your mom is done with chemo...you are good to do as much as you do but I know how exhausting that is...I know your mom has yoyo'd...is she improving at all or just stabilizing?
How is your garden? Hope you have fun with your precious time off...the summer is hot and humid...I am in GA...pretty steamy lately...so just try to make it to the fall...take care and have fun...

You should read the “Mind Gut Connection”. Incredible book that covers exactly this topic. It’s crazy what our system has done to us.
Good recommendation...how is it going?

Dr. David Perlmutter is worth a look up.
