Ken Rundell's memoir details his journey from childhood trauma and bipolar disorder to health recovery through his FITS protocol. Born in 1954, he faced family stress and bullying, contributing to bipolar diagnoses in his family. Rejecting genetic causes, he links bipolar to stress-induced magnesium deficiency and acidosis. His career as a surveyor took him globally, from Sudan to the Philippines, where he built a beach resort, only to lose it to a fire. Facing health challenges like gout, sciatica, and kidney issues from long-term lithium use, Ken developed FITS, combining magnesium, sodium bicarbonate, sea salt, and spirulina to alkalize the body and address inflammation. His protocol improved his kidney function, resolved chronic conditions, and enhanced mental clarity. While promising, FITS lacks clinical validation and requires medical supervision due to risks like alkalosis. Ken advocates for further research to confirm its benefits for bipolar, cancer, and longevity.
