Probiotics/bipolar

[Guest guest]

Ron,

 

For balancing the intestinal flora, I would focus on eating simply,

only eating when hungry, eating mono (all raw) organic produce,

especially greens. Too many nuts and seeds can be a problem, as well

as overeating in general. As Elchanan mentioned, avoiding salts and

spices should help, especially garlic and onions. For improving the

flora, I would want the flora, but not the dairy, so I would eat some

cultured almonds. I soak almonds over night in purified water, then

rinse and drain them a couple times, then blend them with sufficient

purified water to keep the mix blending, yet avoiding having a mix too

thin (though that shouldn't be a problem.) Once smooth, I pour this

into an open mouth jar and put cheese cloth (or a nutmilk bag) over

the top secured with a rubber band. In about 1 1/2 days there is a

noticeable rise in the volume of the mix, with lots of tiny bubbles. I

sometimes eat it by itself and sometimes add it to salads. That may

not be the ideal, but I enjoy it. The best is likely to eat it by

itself, separate from other foods.

 

A friend of mine was bipolar and on meds, etc. She is an actress/

dancer/athlete, and has gotten off her meds and has been doing great!

Here she mentions bipolar briefly:
