Maybe, if the alkaline diet reduces acidity of the brain. However, if the acidity is the result of increased energy production or a failure of the cleaning mechanisms of the brain (as one of the study authors suggests), then the alkaline diet might not be sufficient to reduce brain acidity. Further, we don't know whether acidity is the cause or the result of the disease. If it is a result of the disease, then reducing acidity may not affect symptoms of schizophrenia, much as eliminating beta amyloid does not guarantee a reduction in symptoms of Alzheimer's
