Thank you.

Any tips for lowering inflammation? I only know of these; lower intake of alcohol, sleep well, kurkuma, aspirin.

Just as a datapoint, I suffer from psychosis and experience a good response to aspirin.

Eat an anti inflammatory diet. See Anti-Inflammatory Recipes: The Complete Guide by David Colombo.

Also, take a glycine supplement or drink lots of bone broth to boost your glutathione levels (your body's natural antioxidant). Muscle meat has glycine in it too, but most of it goes towards counteracting the methionine that's also in muscle meat.

CBD oil is a very powerful anti-inflammatory; CBD can be more effective for people if mixed with some THC, CBD counteracts the psychoactive properties of THC, however I believe THC is contraindicated for the diagnosis of schizophrenia?

Thank you. CBD oil is something worth to try out then.

THC delivers the high in the weed. I know people who use pot, but I stay far away from it.

probably a good policy - THC exacerbates the inflammatory symptoms that CBD alleviates. There's a theory that older people who used to self-medicate with CBD-rich cannabis in their youth are now doing more harm than good because of increased breeding for higher THC content.
