Schizophrenia and diet/metabolism of nutrients?!


Question: I read something somewhere, a while ago, about schizophrenia and diet, and how certain things can actually make it worse, but I don't know if it was health freak mumbo jumbo, or actual science. Also, are there any differences in metabolism of nutrients, or substances in the brain in people with schizophrenia, compared to those without?

I do not want any spiritual/health freak rubbish, only scientific-based theories or results of studies or similar.

Thanks.

Schizophrenia is an umbrella term for a number of different mental conditions that look similar but may have different causes.
The most common cause of schizophrenia is allergy to something in the diet. Wheat allergy accounts for about 50% of cases, but other substances such as mildew-fungus in rye or non-prescription drugs such as cannabis can have a similar effect. Unfortunately, in many cases the cause is simply unknown.

SCHIZOPHRENIA AND SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER: A major reason for non-compliance with medications is that the users don't like the side effects: others are unwilling to accept the quite considerable degree of risk involved, and I strongly urge everyone to check out any medications first at www.drugs.com Then be on the lookout for those signs, should you decide to take them.

The following dietary and nutritional regimen is reported to have over a 90% success rate with patients who are ill for the first time or who are suffering their second or third episode with healthy periods in between. It is reported that after two years over 90% will be well, none will be worse, and none will have tardive dyskinesia (drug-induced involuntary muscular movements). They will have to remain on the regimen many years, perhaps their entire lives.
