Yikes. This case study isn't in any way conclusive, but it also doesn't claim to be. You need a better reason than that to write it off as "garbage".

I have bipolar disorder. My uncle had schizophrenia. YEARS without an episode AND without medication is an exciting prospect for many people, including myself. I don't understand why you are so negative towards preliminary findings that may point to a route of treatment that doesn't require neuroleptics, which as you correctly point out, can cause cognitive impairment.

Also, it's been known almost 100 years that the ketogenic diet has neuroprotective attributes. There's strong evidence of its efficacy for epilepsy, and mounting evidence for all sorts of other conditions.
