It may seem unnecessary since you feel the difference yourself. It would be fascinating to see what physical changes they would see.

You were friends with my son and we even visited each others homes frequently! Anyway, I stumbled upon your blog and am so glad that I did! Our family just suffered a terrible tragedy. My son’s wife had suffered with being bipolar since her teen years along with multiple physical issues. I tried so hard to help her through clean diet and nutrients... very similar to what you describe. Unfortunately, she was unable to follow it for many reasons. I was so hopeful that it could really make a difference for her. For reasons unknown to us she decided she couldn’t go on any longer and took her own life just over a month ago. We will never “get over” her loss – she was so well loved! I just wanted you to know that I am so very amazed and proud of the self-control and commitment that you show to take responsibility for yourself and your health. God bless you as you continue this journey. You will be in our prayers!gobyucougarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195819767112578183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-17916124389105413292015-11-08T00:34:35.937-08:002015-11-08T00:34:35.937-08:00This is a very interesting post.

I gotta do some praying and pondering about this subject- not your experience- I don't doubt it, but what my role with this information is within my own family. I am sure it will stick in my brain for a bit. Thankful for direction from the Holy Ghost in matters that are complex.

I want to just keep reading your blog (and I will, but I just barely found it and have to do a bunch of things), but before I pause and run to take care of my family I just had to leave a comment for you. I can feel your love and deep sincerity in each post. I have also suffered with bipolar and been cured (some diet change, some supplements and some other healing). I feel so fortunate to have been healed. I am actually looking to do the ketogenic diet for other health issues, so I'd love to hear more from you about how you do it. I just want to meet you. I feel like I know you. I respect how you share your unique and beautiful message with the world. Keep letting your light shine and just know that you are blessing people. I can't speak for others, but you have already blessed me so much. <3 Bless you, dear brother!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349466586784658208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-16752953551474197642015-10-05T10:30:19.492-07:002015-10-05T10:30:19.492-07:00David: I am happy for you.

My (Catholic) mom, the nutritionist, made me do this diet at the age of 16 in order not to end up like her (bipolar) LDS brother. Within a week, I was a complete homi/suicidal disaster - which I suppose implies there might be something to it. Seems like you have an incredibly high level of self-discipline, a sine qua non for success in this treatment. That's something I didn't have back then (or now) and speaking as someone who holds free will to be an indispensable component of the definition of acting human, I hardly believe it were possible any more. Speaking from the midst of drug-muffled hypomania (and with sincerity), I wish you the best. Perhaps the all holy Lord will grace me with the requisite self discipline one day.

Miraculo...What a miraculous accomplishment, David! Miraculous because God led you to it and empowered your desire to stick with it. And an accomplishment because of your great faith, even as you doubted the blessing that promised healing, and the personal stamina it took to commit fully to the process. Amazing grace. Your descriptions of bipolar mood swings and how you dealt with the cycles (and, now, the void it has left) reminds me a great deal of my own experience with depression, anxiety and PMDD. Thanks for sharing your life. It's been a while since I've tuned in but I'm glad I did, and that your are doing so well :-).Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167237948804803231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-1525402911853451262015-09-16T11:39:19.349-07:002015-09-16T11:39:19.349-07:00This is a fascinating post and fascinating that yo...This is a fascinating post and fascinating that you found the diet connection for bipolar!
