Hopefully y'all know me as I have been posting here (tho not too often) for many years now. I am worried about my nephew. He is in his early 40's and was diagnosed many years ago as bipolar 2. He has been on many different medications thru the years and tries his best to control his issues ..... but lately the meds just aren't cutting it and he is having a very rough time. It has gotten to the point where he is willing to consider alternative methods to control/fix the problems he is having. As you all know I turned to Christ and am 25+ years sober due to His strength. But aside from trying to enlighten him into a life of faith does anyone have any other recommendations? I'm looking for any good books on holistic/homeopathic methods, cleansing methods, etc.... Anyone with 1st hand experience with bipolar? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I take ivermectin myself, and didn't think it would apply here, but you have given me food for thought and I will check the resources you suggest. Thanks so much!
Several people I know with anxiety have taken ivermectin. All of them have described what they term as “relief”. I did a fairly deep dive on T.Ghondi. It’s a parasite that can cross the blood brain barrier. There are not a lot of studies on it (I’m sure no funding for the research) but one paper theorized the white masses found on brain scans in schizophrenia patients could actually be eggs.
My opinion, the ivermectin couldn’t hurt. All of them tried it and it made a difference, so who knows?
If he’s ready for alternative methods, I would suggest doing a detox through fasting and diet while doing the parasite detox. Lots of lemon water, lentils, super foods.
Then rebuilding the body with diet, exercise and natural remedies/ vitamins. There are naturalist doctors out there that can guide you with the supplements. It will take time to introduce things one at a time but he will get there! Dropping a few links to start the rabbit hole if you’re interested.
