The following is taken from Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Phyllis A. Balch. it does not specifically state Manic-
Depression but it does indirectly states "fasting is recommended for any illness..." that would include manic-depression.
I looked up Manic-
Depression and she has a wealth of information. This is just a little bit-here we go:
take high doses of B-complex vitamins, approx. 100mg. of ea. dose/3 times a day...The B complex is very important for all mood disorders. Use Injections(supervised by your doctor) or a sublingual form for best absorption. Persons with manic-depressive disorders do not absorb the B-complex vitamins easily, and often have deficiencies of these vitamins..she talks about an overgrowth of yeast in the gI tract,
food allergies ,self-help support groups and becoming pro-active...
avoid choline and amino acids ornithine and arginine. These substances may make symptoms worse.
avoid situations that cause stress. stress is a major contributor to serious problems for people with manic-depressive disorder. Be aware that
food allergies may aggravate mood swings. She goes on and on...There's alot your sister can do on her own and lift her quality of life. My 2 cents is that Fasting and
juicing is a part of a bigger picture being : Nutrition, taking certain Vitamins, stress reduction and removing certain foods out of the diet. peace, Arthur
