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.

All I can personally suggest is you find him a Functional Medicine Doctor. These are MDs, but they tend to go to the root cause of issues. A capable FMD should be able to give him/you information about the bipolar stuff and offer natural ways to remedy it. He might need a 'cleanse' to get rid of all the chemicals currently in his body. Many FMDs are Christians. That's what I'd look for if I were you. A Christian Functional Medicine doctor who knows his or her stuff and because they are Christian, truly cares. All the best to you and him.
By cleanse I mean, staying off the drugs until they clear his body. I don't know. But an FMD should be able to help. They will know what to do.
Thank you:)
