The ketogenic diet for type II bipolar disorder:
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/1...ub%3d pubmed&

"Successful mood stabilizing treatments reduce intracellular sodium in
an activity-dependent manner. This can also be achieved with
acidification of the blood, as is the case with the ketogenic diet.
Two women with type II bipolar disorder were able to maintain ketosis
for prolonged periods of time (2 and 3 years, respectively). Both
experienced mood stabilization that exceeded that achieved with
medication; experienced a significant subjective improvement that was
distinctly related to ketosis; and tolerated the diet well. There were
no significant adverse effects in either case. These cases demonstrate
that the ketogenic diet is a potentially sustainable option for mood
stabilization in type II bipolar illness. They also support the
hypothesis that acidic plasma may stabilize mood, perhaps by reducing
intracellular sodium and calcium."

Today I'm just "shilling" for the ketogenic diet.

But it's still early!
