so i’d like to share with you the best

protocol

for not only bipolar disorder but ocd

obsessive compulsive disorder and i

first just want to mention this is not

to replace your medical care check with

your doctor before implementing this i

just want to give you another viewpoint

i want to give you another option

because it’s very difficult to find

a protocol

that would really

potentially work for you and

unfortunately the current treatment for

these two conditions

have a lot of side effects first of all

there’s mega ssris and those are

medications that

inhibit the reuptake of serotonin so you

increase the serotonin in the body and

then they potentially might give you

intravenous chlomepramine or deep brain

stimulation where they’re putting wires

into your brain or even functional

neurosurgery

so some people might even consider

you’re getting a chemical lobotomy but

when you look up alternatives for these

conditions you’ll see that yeah

alternative treatments are dangerous and

they might have side effects but for

example fish oils was given to someone

like 10 times the normal value and and

they had some side effects but what

about all the drug side effects and

really what is the potential reason why

you might have these conditions in the

first place that’s what i want to know

about but one thing to know is the

mechanism of of how some of these

medications work is through

manipulating neurotransmitters and

the missing information that a lot of

people need to know

related to that is that your gut your

friendly microbes

make a tremendous amount of

neurotransmitters so

if you have gut problems okay that you

better work on that because the

microbiome the friendly bacteria

are probably not making enough

neurotransmitters and i’m talking about

serotonin i’m talking about

norepinephrine

dopamine and so people who have bipolar

disorder have a much higher incidence of

inflammation in their gut than people

that don’t have that condition so

there’s definitely a connection so

here’s the simple protocol

if you have gut issues okay fix that

first how do you do that i’ll put some

videos down below but basically you need

to start consuming foods that give you

the pre pre-biotic

and the

probiotic so i’m talking about fermented

foods sauerkraut kimchi maybe a high

quality kefir

definitely a probiotic that alone can

create a huge stabilizing influence over

your mood and of course i’m going to

jump right down to six

one thing that will create inflammation

in your gut

is grains so you must

get rid of all grains in your diet as

well as sugar both of these things will

severely destroy your gut and i know

quite a few people who just get rid of

the gluten out of the diet and they also

cut down the sugar and

magically these symptoms go away so with

the gut you need to put in the good

bacteria and the good friendly microbes

and take away the things that are

causing the inflammation and i’m also

talking about the grain oils like soy

oil corn oil canola cottonseed oil those

oils are highly inflammatory number two

your brain works much better on a low

carb ketogenic diet than on a high carb

sugar diet so any time we’re dealing

with mental

mood disorders or cognitive problems

your brain is going to be much happier

on ketones okay so you go low carb and

if you have gut problems

like ibs or

inflammation your gut

you may even want to do the carnivore

version of the ketogenic diet

where you’re not introducing any plants

for some people that is very very

beneficial so we’re going to run the

brain on ketones okay and support the

gut the two most important things

third most important thing is fish oils

okay now i recommend cod liver oil just

because it has some additional things

like vitamin d and vitamin a not to

mention the omega-3 fatty acids but

omega-3 fatty acids greatly reduces

inflammation in the brain and it’s been

studied to produce a significant effect

for these disorders and by the way i’m

going to put those links down below but

a very good high quality fish oil is

essential and realize it does take

probably about a month to work so just

start taking it consistently and it’s

going to help reduce inflammation in the

brain and it’s going to support the

brain directly now the next thing that’s

very very important is number four that

b vitamins your brain

needs b vitamins desperately

neurotransmitters work with the b

vitamins now if you have ocd

vitamin b1 is essential because it can

really help

control your focus

dramatically and get rid of nervous

tension as well so b1 is important and

folate okay folate not folic acid get

the folate version which is the natural

version very important and make sure

that you get natural b vitamins

nutritional yeast is a really good

source versus a lot of the synthetic

versions that they have now these are

mandatory but these are optional okay so

we have lithium orotate very effective

for bipolar disorder then you have

another one called n-acetyl cysteine

nac if you’re going to get a product and

it’s just as nac make sure it’s the

n-acetyl cysteine which is very

effective for the

mania part of bipolar because it helps

to regulate glutamate which is an amino

acid in the brain now many times when

people have bipolar or ocd they may have

depression and if you have depression

hyperforin which is an extract of st

john’s wort is a very effective antidote

for depression not to mention vitamin d

and then if you also have schizophrenia

i would recommend adding glycine but you

need to take a lot of it you want to

take 28 grams three times a day so

that’s a total of 60 grams now you can

tell or make it by your weight you would

want to take 0.8 grams per kilogram of

weight if you want to get the exact

amount but this can also help greatly to

minimize

this condition right here and then you

might want to add the niacin which is

vitamin b3 to put the icing in the cake

because niacin has been known to

greatly improve schizophrenia

so anyway i just wanted to give you this

protocol so you have some alternative

plan

that you can use to help yourself

now at this point i think it’s very very

important to get the basic eating plan

that you would need to get and for that

information i put that up right here

you
