<p>I read somewhere that it used to be said that you should eat what ails you. So if you have a bad heart, eat heart. If you have a bad kidney, eat kidney, etc.</p> <p>Has anyone else followed this? I am considering trying to get some (nonhuman) brain to try to hack my mental health problems.</p> <p>Speaking of brain, what animals are farmers allowed to sell brain from in the USA? Is cow brain off limits? What about lamb or pig?</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I would try a ketogenic diet with coconut oil first. I like the theory for heart and joints but not for brain.</p>

<p>I know it holds true for broth/stock. Making bone broth with joint and knuckle bones is good for your own joints.</p> <p><a href="http://undergroundwellness.com/tag/dr-cate-shanahan/" rel="nofollow">http://undergroundwellness.com/tag/dr-cate-shanahan/</a></p>

<p>I have no doubts that increasing your DHA and B vitamin intakes will have a positive affect on your mental health. However, I think there are more readily available sources than brain.</p>

<p>Schizophrenia, gluten, and low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diets: a case report and review of the literature: <a href="http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/6/1/10" rel="nofollow">http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/6/1/10</a></p> <p>I second low carb, ketogenic + coconut oil. Plus make sure you have eliminated every speck of gluten. I was reading about the gluten/schizophrenia connection this morning, and if I were trying to eliminate schizophrenia, I wouldn't get anywhere near the stuff. Not even in small amounts. Not even a slip.</p>

<p>Getting your gut healed, plus Vitamin D sufficiency can make a HUGE difference. </p> <p>Gut health = brain health</p>

<p>Are you vitamin D sufficient? Schizophrenia is associated with vitamin D insufficiency during development. Now, you may think, "it's too late", but vitamin D sufficiency is good for everyone, and besides, we can't say that correcting a sufficiency later in life couldn't reverse or at least attenuate the illness.</p> <p>People often report a big improvement in their mood and mental function when they correct their vitamin D levels, so it's worth trying.</p> <p>Here are some references, if you would like to investigate further yourself:</p> <ol> <li>Kesby JP, Eyles DW, Burne THJ, McGrath JJ.
