Don't.  And am appalled that this was his first suggestion the first time I saw him, without him even reading my notes.So, fell back on my own resources and:low carb -> very low carb -> keto dealt with the memory, distress, confusion and word losslow carbing has also helped me lose 60+ pounds, then stalled for yearsthe depression lifted magically after supplementing with vit D3sleep improved tremendously with the use of magnesium oilmy reactive hypoglycaemia stays totally under control if I stay off gluten and carbsoh, and my high blood pressure resolved when I managed to identify coffee as the cause</blockquote>
