Apparently, some of you consider yourself experts on cancer treatment but don't have any idea about up-and-coming data on the use of a #ketoenic diet as an adjunct for #cancer treatments. (1/9)
This thread holds some links to researchers talking about using ketogenic diets as an adjunct treatment for some cancers. People way smarter than me about the subject, and quite frankly probably better educated than you on the topic. 🤷 (2/9)
I don't want you all discouraging someone from asking their oncologist about it when it could be instrumental in saving their life or quality of life. That's not cool. Some of you need to check yourselves. #ethics (3/9)

Yes, and let's be crystal clear. Putting young women on hormonal birth control can create serious mood disturbances and, in some cases, suicidal ideation. Parents (and teens) trying to be proactive to prevent pregnancy need to be made aware of this. (1/4)
I have had more than one female client between the ages of 14-20s who after receiving months of psychotherapy were not improving. I provided resources for actual informed consent they should have had access to in the beginning from their doctor. (2/4)
They decided to stop temporarily. Their suicidal ideation and mood disturbances vanished. So do many of the comorbid "relationship problems" with parents and partners) vanished. This needs to be on every parent and teen's radar. It's no joke, and it's very real. 3/4

Things I read online: "I have MS, and brain fog is part of that diagnosis. A ketogenic diet can't treat my brain fog" 🧵(1/5)
A pilot study evaluated the safety and permissibility of a ketogenic diet (Modified-Atkins form) in 20 patients with relapsing #MS. They presented a decrease in levels of proinflammatory adipokines at three months on #KetogenicDiet (2/5)
Another study in 2020 reported improved disease states and a promising immunomodulatory effect of the #KetogenicDiet on 111 relapsing–remitting #MS patients (3/5)

"When we (@Metabolic_Mind) mention mental illness we're referring to severe
#depression #bipolar disorder or
#schizophrenia. But everything we say also may have applied to #ADD #OCD #anxiety moderate depression, #PTSD and more." (1/12)
@Metabolic_Mind I have seen it SIGNIFICANTLY improve or lead to remission in literally all of these disorders in my private practice and via my online Brain Fog Recovery Program. (2/12) #therapists #counselors #mentalhealthcounselor
@Metabolic_Mind It's ok to have hope that you can feel better. When you are suffering from any of these disorders, hope is a little scary. You don't want to be disappointed. Sometimes it's easier to practice acceptance of how you are feeling. (3/12) #hope #spoons #chronicillness
