Please don't give advice like this on the Internet; you are not a qualified physician, you do not know what this person's life actually is, what medicines they're currently taking, what allergies they have, etc. You could literally kill someone with the wrong "benign" advice at the wrong time. Turning off Slack won't kill anyone (probably) but suggesting a diet or medication very well could. Just don't do it.

A suggestion to look into something, with links to start the research, on a forum like this. Totally fine. People can do their own research on this forum, if someone is on special meds, they are smart enough to check with doctor before implementing something weird. Besides, a dietary change is going to have slow effects, plenty of time for correcting mistakes.

  It's not "totally fine" it's wildly irresponsible and dangerous, and frankly should be banned.

    I was glad that he shared what helped him, and after reading your plea to prevent people from accessing this information, doubly so. You should especially be ashamed for trying to keep people struggling with mental health issues in that state.

      Talk to a medical professional before engaging in any change to your diet or medication, especially if you have mental health issues. This kind of thing is how you spiral out of control, I've seen it dozens of times. You and anyone else struggling need to find QUALIFIED people to help you, not random Internet people. Your life literally depends on doing what I'm saying here, not in experimenting with fad diets and snake oil medications.

        Me? Did you reply to the wrong post? If you didn't, why would you think I don't have a doctor and and a nutritionist, and why would you think I am looking for a new nutrition plan? You don't know 24+ people who have had this problem, either.

        There's a concept in English called the "royal you", I do recommend you (specifically you) look it up.

        No one is going to believe you originally meant that. I'm sorry. You are so bad for the health of the people around you and a poor discussion partner. :(

        I just.. on so many levels, I see your response here as a lower form of human communication. Honestly, and I get how pretentious that sounds, but you sound like a wounded, broken animal. As if you're hardly even human; the embodiment of your own insecurities, lashing out in confusion about how the world around you works. You spout whatever combination of words would hurt you most to others, a whirling dervish of emotional weakness and impotency. There's no light in your eyes is there? Just a dead, cowlike stare, a ring of sclera revealing your panicked ego constantly assessing how you fit in with the other apes, dreading even the tiniest perception of loss. And honestly? It probably doesn't get better. This is probably it for you, there's not likely to be a grand improvement in your life or how you perceive reality. That panic will never go away, that confusion and anger is just who you are now. You apparently rage against medicine, you rage against people who actually understand reality, but mostly you rage against yourself; this is it. This is you. You are a pile of fear and frustration from incompetence, just like you were as a child, and you'll never be anything more.

Here's what a typical primary care physician will do: prescribe you non-stimulant ADHD medication with potentially terrible side effects and since those don't work for a lot of people, they will move on to prescribing amphetamines with terrible side effects. Most physicians receive little training in nutrition (I believe one class is standard). You should consider reevaluating your blind faith in physicians (they were an instrumental part of the opioid crisis after all), especially when it drives you to make a dismissive comment like this in response to a benign suggestion about a dietary change that you seemingly haven't evaluated before responding. Here the individual has seen success with this approach for themselves and others and is simply sharing their experience. They're not suggesting anything extreme or dangerous.

  People like you kill others because of your ego. You should feel deep, profound shame and guilt for how much damage you cause to society. Your ideas are how we got the Ivermectin craze, for example. Shame on you.
