Your story is truly amazing. The level of energy and thinking you put into investigating what was wrong is mind-blowing.

It shows that non-specialists have a crucial role in connecting the dots and helping researchers test and try hypotheses.

Are you still on Keto now? How did your symptoms evolve?

You should write a blog post on your story!

Thanks so much for the positivity. If you google keto rash you’ll understand why I am prevented from being on Keto for long periods of time. The problem with keto rash is that nobody has actually figured out what causes it.

luckily my symptoms don’t make keto necessary. But I do plan on winning back my sleep at some point. And that battle consists of performing some experiments to figure out what causes keto rash. I’ve already informally shown that it can’t happen without the presence of sweat by restarting keto after applying prescription strength antiperspirant to one half of all rash-prone areas. Without exception, the treated half did not develop irritation. It’s not a cure since covering yourself in prescription strength AP would probably be very dangerous and very expensive.

In between now and the time when treatment of inflammation becomes a part of mainstream medical science, I see myself on keto all the time and taking sub-psychoactive doses of shrooms and DOI once a month. I’m excited to see what that combination feels like.

For personal health and wellness, self-experimenting is the way to go. It should be easier to try and see what works for us.

In the end of the day, there's no one-size-fits-all for health and wellbeing, people should have the tools to experiment and find the optimal diet and lifestyle.

All the best for your journey!
