That's my first funniest story of JP, the second being him posting some S&M british milking porn on Twitter while blaming the CCP
I also like the one about him absolutely destroying himself with the insane all-meat diet his daughter espoused. Not sure if that was before or after the benzos and whether there's a causal link, though..
JP is one of the greatest examples of how you can be smart in one narrowly defined way, and an absolute dipshit in so many others. I never really bothered with the guy as the subject doesn't interest me all that much, but I hear he was a leading voice at one point, and a fairly coherent one at that. And then based on his early success and subsequent fans, he let it get to his head and started thinking he was the smartest guy in every room.
Another example is Steve Jobs. Autistic rainman style levels of design, marketing and usage knowledge, but apparently couldn't do simple shit like feed himself properly or maintain his personal hygiene.
This is a really interesting phenomenon. I feel like someone can be really knowledgeable and an expert in a certain domain but then they get used to people listening to and respecting them and their opinions. Then they start talking authoritively about stuff they really have no idea about expecting it to be the same or something. I don't know, I haven't though this through properly but it seems like there are a few recent examples where that could have happened.
TBF, scientific studies seem to support that ketosis can influence/mitigate neurological conditions. The ketogenic diet was originally developed as a method of managing epilepsy, for instance.
Personally, I'm giving it a try to assist with migraine management, per this study:
The study itself had 23 patients iirc, so I'm sure more research needs to be done, but I'd like to avoid daily medications due to some of the undesirable side effects and I'm in good enough health to accept the risk for a few months.
