Mr.50's Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Jay, would you be willing to try the ketogenic diet? It is a diet where you replace your bodies main energy source (carbs) with fat. I tried it and it definitly was doing something but I am a very skinny kid and don't want to lose anymore weight. Btw it was reducing my visuals slowly throughout the day on the last day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'll look into it and see how it affects my gym. Also, i'm vegan, so getting high levels of fat is not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.50's Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Ya Jay you can't do it, the only thing vegan I was eating was nuts and coconut oil but you can't survive off of that, VISUAL you should try it my symptoms changed because of it, not worse a little better but they changed in color and shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VisualDude Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Not sure how one would do ketogenic type diet and be vegetarian. That said, I've tried different foods and diets and none of them affect visuals even the slightest. However, mood, energy, and food-sensitivities are greatly affected by digestive transit times. If food moves too quick (< 6 hours), it isn't properly digested and causes problem. If digestion is too slow (>12 hours), there is some sort of 'toxicity' involved. So I eat and take herbs to maintain a transit time of 8-12 hours. Since the current med schedule makes it all sluggish, it is a matter of taking stuff like cascara segrata to speed things up. At least in my case, this has been very important and beneficial to lifestyle - even though it doesn't address visuals. Just food for though, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelovez Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 ketogenic diet increases serotonin and dopamine activity if I remember right Im trying to mantaing it but I its hard for me for few reasons I keep breaking the diet by stuffing myself with sweet things between day 5-11.. But lets keep trying. It would be easier to mantain if I was living on my own, not seeing other people eating tasty carbs I have some feeling that long-term keto diet could be good for HPPD (calming the overexcited brain etc). In our project's notes, if you scroll down, you will find some good studies about keto and intermittent fasting.http://www.evernote.com/l/AbRsTAeTpEdAK4WUDtw86U-VLIzve9l_4Ks/ I gonna paste it here: Study: The ketogenic diet and brain metabolism of amino acids: relationship to the anticonvulsant effect. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17444813 Study: Ketogenic diet alters dopaminergic activity in the mouse cortex http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030439401400319X Study: The effect of fasting on 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolism in brain regions of the albino rat. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1987105/ Study: The effects of the ketogenic diet on behavior and cognition.http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC4112040;jsessionid=B9oUAx0Z2pEpp22vSWUq.41 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21872440 Study: Caloric restriction and intermittent fasting: Two potential diets for successful brain aging. http://www.zentrum-der-gesundheit.de/pdf/intermittierendes-fasten-ia-04.pdf Article: Ketosis: anti-brain fog. Neurotransmitters, dietary protein, and the gut microbiome. http://caloriesproper.com/ketosis-anti-brain-fog-neurotransmitters-dietary-protein-and-the-gut-microbiome/ Article: Your Brain on Ketones http://evolutionarypsychiatry.blogspot.com.br/2010/08/your-brain-on-ketones.html Article: Fasting can help protect against brain diseases, scientists say http://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/feb/18/fasting-protect-brain-diseases-scientists My conclusion - keto is worth of try at least for few weeks. If you are a vegan and can't do keto diet, DO INTERMITTENT FASTING! I like 2 protocols - either one 24h fast a week (two are ideal, but extremely hard in longer terms, makes you think about food all the time). OR eating in 8h time frame everyday and then having 16h fast. Warriors diet is more advanced 4h and 20h of eating and fasting. here is more about one guys experiences with intermittent fasting. its highly recommended if you attempt to try it. Article/home-made experiment: Experiments with fasting https://www.dropbox.com/s/nmc83ca61i31tkm/202534335-IntermittentFasting.pdf?dl=0i will be making a separate post about this in future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trip into hell Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 i have tried and still do: melatonin - sometimes it helps a little with visuals and sometimes it makes them a little worse...you never know...but nothing permanent valerian - it only helps a little when it comes to panic lavender - makes me a little more tired and helps to fall asleep vitamins - only a slight change in head pressure but nothing significant proper diet - no change and i guess thats why i always had a proper diet proper sleeping patterns - it doesnt help but if i go to bed later then usual my syptoms become worse the next day sports - will make it worse while taining, afterwards i feel mostly exhausted but good + i cant sleep properly the night after and i will try meditation, cbd and lions mane...and if that doesnt help...i dont know what to do anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethargicAcid Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 yoga for life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onelovez Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Lethargic acid have you done much yoga for any longer periods of time?? I think hanging upside down/ headstands etc could help in HPPD, or at least address the problem of hypoperfusion in some areas of the brain that can cause a cognition fuck up I guess.I think increasing the blood by chilling upside down maybe could help with that? I don't know, but I have heard that it helps with creation of new synapsis in the brain. Also I have heard people that do yoga saying they don't feel right if they don't do the hanging or headstands every few days ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
