| You can literally walk into your grocery store and find cures for depression, cures for early stage cancer, cures for diabetes, and cures for heart disease. There are cures right there in every grocery store, available right now.
In fact, I'm going to be working on a book called Grocery Healing that takes you through a grocery store shopping experience and shows you how to buy foods and products that can prevent or even reverse any of the modern common diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and so on. |

 But all joking aside; the fact remains that our population would be quite foolish to follow the advice of doctors and take chemicals to treat depression based on these diagnoses.
What people should do instead is take care of their own health to avoid needing prescription drugs in the first place. We do not need antidepressants, statin drugs, COX-2 inhibitors, beta blockers, or any other popular drugs. |
| An educated person would recommend that you improve your lifestyle by adopting healthy food and exercise habits, which would eliminate the depression without the need for any herbs or drugs.
As expected, this news about the effectiveness of St. John's Wort drives Big Pharma crazy, since they cannot stand for researchers to discover yet another herb or food that works better than their drugs. Naturally, they hope that very few people ever discover this news, since it doesn't serve their interests. |
| I have seen perfectly healthy individuals believe some diagnosis of depression, and walk around popping Prozac pills every couple of hours. I ask them, "Why are you taking these drugs?" And they say, "My doctor told me to." I usually ask them if they do everything that people wearing lab coats with medical degrees tell them. At that point they're usually annoyed and leave, taking an extra Prozac pill as they go. They are likely thinking that they have been verbally assaulted and now need additional chemical help. |

Consumption of superfoods, such as what's found in Berry Green, is also outstanding for treating depression. depression is not a "brain chemistry imbalance." It is a fundamental result of poor habits that can be addressed by changing your lifestyle, changing your food choice, getting exposure to natural sunlight, and avoiding the toxins that harm with your nervous system, such as avoiding statin drugs, MSG, artificial colors, and artificial chemical sweeteners as well. There are a lot of ways to address depression. |
| This is not a good way to treat depression, especially when people who are depressed could more readily address that problem through nutrition.

 Manic depression, maybe 80 percent, but 90 percent for depression and that includes psychotic depression. That's the place where I have an opinion, but the rest of the time – basically, let's say, unless a person is really taking some medication that it's very, very dangerous to take them off of – I'm going to get them off most of the medication because they're naturally going to get healthy. The medication is making them unhealthy, so why keep them on that? So, let's say a 90-percent success rate with depression.

 Giving up cheese depresses a lot of people all by itself, thereby creating demand for even more depression drugs. Clever gimmick, eh?
McDonald's finds more trans fats in french fries
McDonald's has just "discovered" its french fries contain far more trans fats than previously thought. This is devastating news to McDonalds customers who, as we know, are spuriously concerned with the nutritional content of the food they somehow manage to swallow. |

 When that market was saturated, drug companies began selling the idea that antidepressants were "happy pills," suitable for use in not merely serious depression states, but even as "depression prevention!" (So-called "early intervention," where you use antidepressant drugs in perfectly healthy people in order to "prevent" depression from appearing.) This was a major breakthrough for Big Pharma: Now they could sell drugs to healthy people and were no longer limited to merely selling drugs to the sick.
When that market was saturated, they went after the children. |

 Energetic Integrator 4 is associated with the ability to manage emotional states (or being able to relate to others who are managing these states) such as depression (especially postpartum depression), grief, and brokenheartedness. Psychosomatically, health-related anxiety is linked to Integrator 4, especially in the form of self-sabotage through the unconscious belief that one gains attention or other benefits by being sick. Character rigidity also is linked to this Energetic Integrator. |
| It also appears to correlate bioenergetically with the lifting of depression. If you remember back to the Energetic Integrator information, mental and emotional function, and even consciousness itself, may be dependent on the unobstructed movement of energy and information along the Integrator structures. Bioenergetically, depression may be viewed as stuck energy and/or information, and the Energetic Star 4 Infoceutical appears to aid in getting them moving again. |

 Soon, they will suffer from American diseases: Cancer, diabetes, depression, osteoporosis, heart disease, obesity and violent, psychotic behavior. In fact, we're already seeing it: Countries like Thailand and Japan are witnessing unprecedented obesity for the first time in history, and diseases like diabetes and depression are only a few years away from becoming pandemic throughout Asia. This is almost entirely from their adoption of western diets and medical practices. |

 Well before this situation is reached, the sensitive and volatile capital markets will surely have collapsed, erasing ownership bonds between foreign and domestic capital, and precipitating a worldwide economic depression. The Great depression of the 1920s and 30s showed how difficult it is for societies to adapt to such pressures, and also how unpleasant political philosophies can gain traction as social insecurities rise. |

| Small island nations in the South Pacific, for example, had never heard of diabetes, heart disease or depression just two generations ago. But then American-made processed food products invaded their islands, edging out traditional foods like raw coconut, fresh fish, seaweed and taro. Today, South Pacific populations are suffering from widespread diabetes, depression, heart disease, learning disabilities, asthma and much more -- all thanks to the "invasion" of American foods, medicines and products.
America is the world's largest exporter of disease. |

| Conquering depression through food choice
For clinical depression, all you need to do is get outstanding nutrition by avoiding processed foods, get plenty of phytonutrients in your body, consume healthy oils on a regular basis and get lots of sunlight. It's not difficult to avoid depression and you certainly don't need antidepressant drugs in order to have stable moods and healthy brain function. What you need is stable nutrition. |

 ANTIDEPRESSANTS
Patients with Alzheimer's often have symptoms of depression that can be treated with antidepressant medications. An antidepressant drug in the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) class that is often used is selegiline
(Eldepryl). Overall, studies have not shown this medication to be effective for treating mood or cognitive problems in AD. Side effects include hypertensive crisis (the blood pressure suddenly becomes very high, to the point at which it can become a medical emergency) when patients eat high-tyramine foods like cheese, wine, or beer. |
| Diabetes is one of several risk factors for heart disease, including smoking, diet, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, family history, depression, and stress. I recommend first addressing the risk factors by changing your lifestyle, and by looking at diabetes as one piece of the puzzle in terms of your risk of heart disease. If you have diabetes and heart disease you may benefit from a statin; however, I do not recommend taking statins to treat diabetes if you do not have heart disease. For more on statins, see Chapter 4. |
| Rates of depression, anger, fatigue, and loss of vigor were higher with mefloquine than with other prophylactic malaria medications, like atova-quone plus chloroguanine. Mefloquine users have a number of other symptoms, including vertigo in 96%, nausea in 82%, and headache in 73%. In general, symptoms seem to be more prevalent in females. These studies show that caution should be employed before using mefloquine in future overseas travelers. |
| Every time he was treated unsuccessfully with several different antidepressants before receiving ECT, which shocked him right out of his depression, as he described it. It worked like a charm every time.
I think ECT has gotten a bad rap. With new procedures for inducing anesthesia (they don't strap you down and shock you like they do in the movies), it is a much simpler and better-tolerated procedure than it used to be. And up to 80% of people experience improvement, which is a better response rate than that for medication. |

 These include hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, palpitations, headaches, osteoporosis, depression and irritability (Walsh & Schiff, 1990). Interestingly, women in some non-western cultures appear to be significantly less affected by menopausal ills. For instance, Mayan women from South America (Beyene, 1986) and Rajput women in India (Kaufert, 1982) report no 'symptoms'. According to Lock et al (1988) Japanese women rarely mention hot flushes and the incidence of other problems such as backache and headache is low. |

 Collapsed into a decades-long depression. (Think the FDIC will save you? Don't be so gullible: The FDIC can only bail out a tiny percentage of failed banks in a massive, national bank run, perhaps 2 to 3 percent.)
Just last week, Citibank itself reached out to the Abu Dhabi government, desperately seeking a loan of cash to bail it out of a house-of-cards debt collapse scenario. It agreed to pay a whopping 11 percent interest on a loan to save it from collapse. That technically makes Citibank a sub-prime borrower itself! |
