RFK jr. claims keto diet can cure schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Then wtf did you mean by posting this:

Quote:The human brain is composed of nearly 60% fat, making it the fattiest organ and highly dependent on lipids for structural integrity and energy. While glucose is a primary fuel, research shows neurons utilize fat—specifically omega-3 fatty acids like DHA—for energy, signaling, and building insulation (myelin).

Just pointing out the relevant facts for anyone interested. God forbid anyone seek to educate people on a subject... instead of just knee-jerk flaming people.
You'd think it would be more support for what you found:

It found that small pilot studies suggested that the diet may improve some symptoms of the disorder in some people. But Palmer emphasizes that other people with the condition may not see any improvement with the keto diet."

But you decided to be an illiterate hateful moron about it. 9_9

So you just posted this information about the fat content of the brain out of the blue without any relevance to the claim that a keto diet can cure schizophrenia and bipolar disorder? You're a liar. You're obviously trying to support that claim. Which once again makes you as much an idiot as RFK.

No, moron child. It's obviously relevant. Even just to your own comment:

Harvard Medical School assistant professor Christopher M. Palmer said Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ’76 overstated his research when he claimed that Palmer had “cured schizophrenia using keto diets,” warning that the remark risked misleading patients with serious mental illnesses.
...
Palmer said in an interview with The Crimson that he was “grateful and honored” that Kennedy highlighted his research but stressed that he has never described ketogenic therapy as a cure for schizophrenia.

“It's unfortunate that he used the word cure,” he said. “If he had simply said powerful treatment, it would have been spot on.”

The difference, according to Palmer, is important because “cure” implies permanence — that a patient can stop treatment without relapse — which he said he has not observed clinically in patients with mental illnesses.

So it seems that Harvard psychiatrist only takes issue with RFK's use of the word "cure" when it's only a viable "treatment."
Again, likely owing to the facts I posted... and that you are having such a conniption fit over. Don't like it? Take it up with Harvard, moron.

Really seems like you're extra defensive, as a schizo yourself.


But as always, thanks for proving how intellectually dishonest or just plain ignorantly hateful you are.

Yes..that it is not a "cure" as opposed to being a "cure" as RFK cited it was and as you are now defending despite lying that you weren't. You clearly have no idea what you're arguing for. Buzz off retard.

Again, illiterate moron, where do you imagine I ever agreed with RFK claiming it was a cure?

Go ahead, look real hard at my posts. You won't find it because you're just a hateful moron projecting about your own lies.... assuming you can tell your own delusional imagination from reality at all.


Quit being so defensive, schizo freak.

A problem that I see is that there is no known cure for schizophrenia. (Or any known cause either, though there are no end of speculative if plausible sounding theories.) About the only treatment most schizophrenics receive are anti-psychotic drugs whose side effects are sometimes almost as devastating as the disease they are intended to treat.

So, if there is a relatively easy treatment that has useful effects in some schizophrenic patients without the side effects, that's a valuable thing to know and perhaps more schizophrenics should try it.

I do agree that it shouldn't be called a 'cure', unless that's what it really is.
