Is your brain sugar deficient?

Dr. David Stephens is a neuropsychologist. He has discovered a way to heal mental illness, and once the brain is healed, the body can heal better. Even if you don't technically have a mental illness, but your brain is operating at less than normal levels for you, you can benefit from his techniques.

Every time a person has a head trauma, and it can even be minor, or has some other physical or psychological trauma that activates the sympathetic nervous system, meaning they go into the fight/flight/freeze response, the body goes into a hyperglycolic state, where the brain has more access to glucose for a period of 15-20 minutes. When this time is up, the brain down regulates this glucose in a way that the brain permanently loses access to about 2% of the glucose it had before this trauma event.

Do this enough times, having physical or psychological traumas, and the brain becomes starved of glucose permanently, as this glucose down regulation is cumulative. In this state, you may just have lower cognitive function, but you may also develop mental illness. And the body may also begin to suffer as the brain is under fueled. Diabetes, dementia, anxiety, depression, autism, suicide ideation, addiction, and other diseases can develop from this.

Dr. Stephens treats people by having them take glucose/detrose, which you can get over the counter as dextrose. This bypasses the dietary pathway of glucose to the brain, and the brain gets fully fueled by glucose. After six months of treatment, the mental health is restored, as is diabetes and potentially other illness that were triggered by an underfueled brain.

After six months, this glucose supplementation is no longer needed as glucose from the dietary pathway is sufficient.

People start at with 3 tablespoons (24 grams) of dextrose at a time, 4 times a day (12 tbsp a day), and increase their intake of dextrose from there to about 18 tablespoons a day or so.

An acquaintance of mine who was so metabolically deranged that from a young age she'd sneak off to the pasture to lick the cows' salt block, was prescribed glucose powder by a woman from India who apparently knew about the uses of glucose-dextrose. I do not know the results, though, since we lost contact.

What could be the cause of mental illness?
The cure may not be effective or long-lasting if we don't stop the cause.

I googled for an answer and this is what came up:

Mental illness can have many causes, including a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors:

Genetics: Some mental health issues may run in families. For example, if a parent has schizophrenia, their child is more likely to develop it too.

Environmental factors: These include exposure to toxins, such as lead and tobacco smoke, poor nutrition, head injury, and infections.

Social factors: These include social isolation, loneliness, culture, and social learning.

Life experiences: These include adverse childhood experiences, such as trauma or abuse, stress, and financial issues.

Biological factors: These include chemical imbalances in the brain, such as variations in serotonin and dopamine, and how the brain works.

Substance use: Alcohol and drugs can contribute to the risk of mental illness.

Medications: Some medications, including corticosteroids, isotretinoin, and anabolic steroids, can lead to depressive, anxious, or psychotic syndromes.
