You might want to consider doing a hair analysis and pay attention to the zinc/copper balance - one is estrogen based while the other is progesterone based. I prefer Trace Elements Inc. Both are neurological based.

If I remember right, Vitamin b6 is depleted while using birth control pills. See link below.

Utilizing a solid diet would be helpful as well.

Hi, dear Kelly. :)

Well, if u were (also) on pills since so early days (from 12) when your body and all the system was Still forming then, I Beleive, it also due to that.

I am thinking also may be u need to check ur Thyroid. Anxiety and dipression also can be due to it.

Also I am thinking about.. in order to balance ur Hormones may be u need to go for Maca root (powder) which is very natural and Totally Fantastic Hormone Balancer? It is very natural product and contains only One ingredient maca root itself. This root also have Very Many Health Benefits u could and will benefit from at the same time. The only thing u should not take it while Prego or perhaps breastfeeding (coz it influence hormones (balancing it).

I will post the info

I will post those links for u here coz there is loads of info to mention and i simply cant say it all briefly.


So my suggestions Briefly:

1. Check ur Thyroid (see the links given).

2. Try MACA root powder (ideally Gelatinized) in the amounts as advised on that pack Not more.

3. Do Not go for antidepressants.

4. See my PLAN of healthy eating rules

5. Consider (fresh) juice fasting with herbal teas, fresh juices, coconut water (perhaps), chlorella, spirulina, maca (ones a day)..

6. Ceck ur vit D blood levels and consider taking Good Quality vit D3 supplementation (either in a Liquid form or in Softgel form... NO tablets!)

If u want to go for that juice fast then remember u need to start eating very very carefully after ginishing it and pay attention about Right Combining of Food whenever possible.




Good Luck, dear !! I am very Sure you will Fix it all coz our Body has TREMENDOUS Power to HEAL itself When chance is Given. :)

Hi Kelly, its stephanie- was wondering how you were doing. I am still strugglung not as bad as before but I still get random heart palpitationd blood pressure increase, random bruising around my period, panic attacks. It is quute scary- I don't believe there's a cure.time will heal

Also, I would suggest if you have some Niacin, try it. There is a lot of information about Niacin helping Depression and anxiety and so far this is what has helped me the most. I am an overmethylator. Contact me and I can help you figure out if you are an overmethylatoror an undermethylator and then I can tell you the supplements that help. It's not a quick fix but when I discovered this information is when I really started getting better.

Its a deficiency of some sort, maybe iron, research all deficiencies that cause depression, then start taking stuff, dosage is key, buy linus paulings book how to live longer and feel better, get it on ebay... :)

Kelly, you received many good leads:

Copper

Pregnenolone. That typically gets tested in a blood test. A close female friend and I both like modest doses of it. It is the immediate precursor to progesterone which is involved in your monthly cycle. If you get especially low at "that" time of the month maybe the pregnenolone will boost your baseline progesterone level.

Hopeless/helpless Depression might be thyroid related. I'd get Free T3 tested along with typical thyroid tests.

Magnesium is worth considering for mood. I'd take it more than once per day.

B vitamins can be helpful for some people.

Kelly,
I have the answer to your problems here:

Female organs require a LOT of Iodine to be healthy. As explained in the link above, MANY female diseases result from Iodine deficiency, especially hormonal imbalance & monthly cycle problems.

" Iodine is a mineral that is crucial for the body to be able to achieve hormone balance. Iodine is found in every cell in our bodies and is especially concentrated in our endocrine glands. Iodine deficiencies can contribute to conditions such as polycystic ovarian disease, fibrocystic breast disease, prostate disorders, thyroid conditions, autoimmune diseases, abnormal blood sugars and diabetes.... " Research is showing iodine to be a promising therapy for those with diabetes and women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Recent research revealed a dramatic improvement of hemoglobin A1c and blood glucose levels for those who were deficient and received iodine supplementation. The women in the study also had a reduction in ovarian cysts and a regulation of periods.
" As Naturopathic physicians we treat many patients with hormone imbalances. We are fortunate to be able to use a wide variety of evidenced based testing as part of a comprehensive evaluation of hormone related conditions. Iodine testing and replacement is an easy and simple therapy to help the body achieve hormone balance....

Bottom line: Iodine supplementation is not optional for women.
The Dr. Brownstein Iodine Protocol has helped millions of women regain their optimal health and cure all of those female diseases:

"Inadequate iodine intake causes weight gain, low energy, depression, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, and a variety of cancers.Iodine is vital to breast health in older women, with low intake correlated to increased risks for Breast Cancer and fibrocystic breast disease."

Of course everyone is skeptical, so read our testimonials:

I have been researching iodine for over a year, and I am even shocked at how many health problems melt away with iodine supplementation, for both men & women. Iodine deficiency is a national crises. Read this book,"The Iodine Crisis: What You Don't Know About Iodine Can Wreck Your Life"

Hope this helps,
