I'm gonna write my regimen here and update what I'm doing, hopefully it will up my motivation. Wasted my other thread on arguing and moaning. Well I have a more coherent idea of what I'm about to embark on, thanks to the honourable BLimitless, and Tom_ from Mind&Matter. After my last visit to my psychiarist, who I have refused meds and prescriptions from for the past 6 months, it is said I am probably schizoaffective - mood disorder with paranoid schizophrenia.
Within a few days the last of the supplements below will have arrived. I've only ordered one of each at this stage. It could become expensive to maintain but it's that or insanity. I don't need to go over my history, already done that in my introduction thread and another one in Mental Health. My diet will be a full spectrum exclusion diet. Potential allergens such as dairy and gluten will be removed. And sugar; that goes without saying. I will try to eat as much raw food as possible, especially leafy green vegetables, with my protein coming from organic chicken, beef or salmon. I'm not thinking about exercise at the moment. I am far from sedentary as I walk up to 7 km a day, going to and from work. But I can't begin to think about doing proper exercise until I'm healthier and can manage the motivation and energy. I know it's going to take a while to adhere to the diet (been trying to start it for last 3 weeks).
I will start taking B3, B6, B12, C, D3, Magnesium and Zinc and Fish Oil after a week of solid good diet as described. I've already started the superfoods (I mix with non-concentrated grapefruit juice). After two weeks I'll start taking lots of Reishi (it's not really regimen material but it could provide a boost) and Cayenne mixed with warm water or juice. The other stuff will come later so I have time to get used to the vitamins etc.
