Your comment is an example of good knowledge without public recognition as it was downvoted. Probably the public goes by keywords like "schizophrenia" and concludes "oh well, that guy is mad I shoulda downvote him for all's good". But I think your comment is good and worthy, as it brings a small bit of data to a metabolic-neurological connection theory.
>ketosis does something to the immune system
Keto utilizes a bit different metabolic pathway compared to the aerobic glycolysis [1, 2]. The reason you observe immune system response when you lower keto and increase hydrocarbons is because glucose metabolic pathway is broken in such patients. Their bodies cannot consume glucose in full and start to starve in ATP, up to the point of tissue damage, all that with excessive lactic acid excretion. When the tissues are damaged, immune system gets activated and attacks them. By doing so, it also affects nearby healthy tissues, leading to wavy but gradual disease progression.
This process is believed to play the crucial role in progression of neurological and cardiovascular disorders.
The part of glucose metabolism that gets often broken in a human is aerobic cellular respiration [2]. It may be an inherited genetical condition or an acquired mitochondrial dysfunction.
By the way, do you happen to have an insulin resistance? If this parameter is not ok, this can be an additional hint. But even if it is ok, the given pathological process may be in place and slowly progress, eventually leading to insulin resistance as well.
