Viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungal infections can all cause schizophrenia. Dealing with these is probably the best place to start. Take black walnut wormwood cloves oregano sage and thyme for at least 3 months to a year or even longer if needed to get all the bugs out of your body. To boost the immune system take astragalus.

Basically from what I understand this diet has no refined sugar and very low carbs. Ive found it very helpful mainly because sugar causes inflammation so reducing it is beneficial and sugar problems like diabetes are often a problem for people with schizophrenia. Also it has no wheat which I found hugely beneficial as I had wheat psychosis wheat itself can cause psychosis I found this to be the case so eliminating it from the diet is a great idea.

Sleep is vital to your health. Getting a good nights sleep can make the difference in being healthy and unhealthy. I have started using Lights Out by Dragon Herbs it has really helped and have had nights sleep. also I have been using CardiTone by Oriental Botanicals which helps for a long deep sleep.

N-Acetyl Cysteine  NAC

” The amino acid, NAC, seems to have multiple effects on all these pathways: it boosts glutathione, which is the body’s major antioxidant defence; has anti-inflammatory properties; enhances levels of nerve cell growth proteins and the growth of new neurons; and reduces cell death pathways. It also appears to reduce dysfunction of mitochondria. “
