My brother Charles was accepted to the University of Hawaii Medical School at age 19. He flew from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks to Honolulu, was taken to the psychiatric unit at Queens Hospital and diagnosed with schizophrenia. He later successfully studied two and half years of medical school before dropping out. He was diagnosed with either a bipolar disorder or schizophrenia for 44 years.
The breakthrough came after he fasted for 2 days. He was like himself before he was ever diagnosed with a mental illness. He did well on a lower protein, whole food, plant-based lifestyle as long as he stayed on it. I share more in this eBook FOOD AS MEDICINE about his life as well as research, including the little known international study where they fasted 10,000 patients over 30 years. 70% of those with schizophrenia did well if they stayed on a primarily vegetarian diet with fasting afterwards. Many people who were diagnosed with schizophrenia then would be diagnosed with a bipolar disorder today.
Charles was my beloved brother and the inspiration for my work to try to transform our healthcare system, particularly our mental health system. I pray this eBook FOOD AS MEDICINE will be a help to you and your loved ones and friends. Shirley Saucerman, M.D., Nutritional Psychiatry, Lifestyle Medicine
