You need to read the book Brain Energy by Dr. Christopher Palmer. He shows the science proving all mental illness is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain, in addition to trauma of some sort , and that it can be effectively treated with a ketogenic diet, therapy, and limited meds, just as epilepsy is. I can guarantee that the facilities your brother has been trapped in are feeding the exact opposite of this, a diet high in processed carbohydrates, which exacerbates the illness. Most psyche meds also damage metabolism, causing obesity and diabetes. I remember Bill Clinton’s campaign slogan “It’s the economy stupid!” When it comes to chronic disease, physical and mental, it’s the mitochondria, stupid! The poor outcomes of conventional psychiatry is due to the entire profession ignoring the dietary causes.
Thank you so much for that book suggestion, which I've just ordered.
If I can get him away from the clutches of that system, I hope to do so, as he is a really big-hearted, well-intentioned, creative and funny guy whose potential and life force have been squandered and suppressed by his involuntary incarceration in that system.
Yes, he is indeed addicted to carbs and sugars, which he gets plenty of at his facility. He and the other patients are all smokers too, which he knows is unhealthy, but I think the patients pursue feel-good chemicals because their lives are so controlled and lacking in other pleasures. He dreams of a girlfriend too, because of course sex is verboten and repressed by the drugs.
I look forward to reading that book. Thanks so much, Debbie!
Best wishes for your brother getting real healing. There is a charity called Metabolic Mind that may be helpful, founded by parents of a son with bipolar disorder. The keto diet has given him his life back. They have videos on YouTube that are excellent. It is exciting to see more doctors coming onboard with metabolic therapy for mental illness.
I agree Debbie that a lot of the problem are being caused by our foods. These grocery stores are toxic. Not only food but hygiene, cosmetics, and cleaning supplies. We have been growing our own food. We supplement any food by purchasing it from our neighbors who are farmers and ranchers. All the meats we buy are from ranchers who let their livestock live off the land. Same for all our dairy. If it's not organic and non-GMO, we don't get it. They don't vaccinate or feed them GMOs. We then swapped out all the hygiene products with ones that only have 4 or 5 ingredients and many are made by our neighbors. My wife makes some of her own. And cleaning products are the same. I can read every ingredient and know what every one of them are. Since we made these changes, we rarely get sick. If we do, it's just a sniffle here and there. Our overall wellbeing has improved greatly. I used to get sick 3 to 4 times a year and it would linger for 3 to 6 weeks. I was dumb for going to see a doctor who would provide more toxins. We got back to the basics when one of us becomes sick. It didn't happen overnight. It took a while to research and learn.
It is hard to believe what we have been eating for decades. People have no idea what has happened to our food supply. The sad thing is that it is just here in the US. I went to Mexico last spring and Italy last month and the food is different.
Yes, it is hard to believe! They even put up a fight when people were asking for proper labeling. That was telling. There are so many toxins in the grocery store foods. If people would take the time to read and look up the ingredients, maybe they would change. They are deceptive. It makes sense why we're a sick nation and overweight. I can't believe I weighed 250lbs at 5' 10'. After changing the diet, my weight now stays between 155-160lbs. I felt so much better. I stopped snoring which was nice since I would get pushed and poked. LOL I lived in Spangdahlem, Germany for almost 4 years and traveled all over Europe and their food was much different and good. They don't have GMO crops in Europe or Russia. Why does it continue here. It's safer to grow your own and buy from people you trust. Just the taste of homegrown veggies and fruits is so much better. I'm happy people are waking up to this. I also do the microgreens and sprouts. I'm in the middle of making up 2 trays to put under the grow lights. I compared 2 bottles of Heinz Ketchup from Canada and US. They were identical except for one thing. Canada uses sugarcane and the US had high fructose corn syrup which I personally believe causes liver problems.
Good for you! I agree that Americans are overweight and sick due to the food we eat. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are responsible for high fructose corn syrup being used in our food instead of sugar.
Like they always say: follow the money. It is disgusting how many wealthy people have made themselves wealthier at the expense of other people's well-being.
I cut out a lot of sugar. Every so often I'll crave a piece of chocolate and cave. I know sodas are bad but I will have one every once in a while. I'll get the coke in the Mexican bottles since it's sugarcane. I learned they also spray the sugarcane heavily with glyphosate not long before harvesting it. I will only get the Wholesome organic raw sugar. And I know flour is sprayed heavily and it's genetically different. I do believe there is a link here for some having issues with gluten. I'll buy the Jovial 100% Organic Einkorn organic flour. I just bought a 10lb bag and it was $42 dollars. I would rather pay up front for better food instead of a doctor. I wish I could grow everything but it's impossible. Thankfully, I can get other items from my neighbors who farmers and ranchers. Like all the beef and chicken are organically raised. No vaccines or GMO feed. They live off the pasture. Same for dairy. It is costly though. Milk is $12 a gallon and I can usually get eggs between $5 and $6 dollars.
It's clear as day, these evil parasites want us sick and dead. I can see right through this whole death jab and what's it's being used for. You're absolutely right. They want to make the money off other people's well-being. They also want to cull the majority of the population. Many of these psychopaths are connected and related. I'm happy to see so many fighting back. I think we're just getting warmed up. As more truth comes out, there will be no place for them to hide. They're already losing the information warfare that's taking place. There will be no military big enough to stop what's coming.
I’ve been reading these comments on institutionalization and my head is spinning. I lived adjacent to a “mental hospital” in Upstate New York in my early years. There was a plot of land - 15 or 20 acres - used for farming vegetables. During the growing season, I would watch the patients come out with the rakes and hoes and work the land. They weren’t a harm to themselves or others. One patient would yell up into the clouds “kill that monkey” for reasons known only to himself (???). We kind of chuckled but never worried about him. I’ve mentioned this before in these comments. It went on for years; then suddenly it was gone, the land plowed over and the hospital closed down. What happened to our “kill that monkey” fellow? If incompetent, politically-motivated and money-grubbing bureaucrats, etc. was the source of the horror show, can we do better the next time?
There was a big push in the 1980's to close all mental institutions because they were deemed to be cruel and were expensive to run. I think they turned many out into the streets. The beginning of homelessness.

you may the Breggins already? Dr. Peter Breggins spoke out against psych meds for a long time ... https://gingerbreggin.substack.com/.

Thanks for that recommendation as well. I will look into it. And thank you also for the best wishes for my brother.

It is my understanding that Reagan did it. I don't know a lot about it but I do remember when that happened.
