Summary
Hip started a low-oxalate diet plus calcium-with-meals and daily magnesium and reports significant improvement in fatigue, brain fog and mental/anxiety symptoms appearing within just 3 days. He calls the brain fog and "zombie-like mental vagueness" clearly improved and was still on the protocol as of his last update, planning to confirm the effect by stopping the diet later. Too recent to know if it holds long-term; he frames it as promising but unconfirmed.
