It's good to see that Science is catching up on somethings that natural doctors already knew....however, the cost of treatment is still unreasonable for many people.
One can create their own brain cage with magnets at a much smaller cost. Dr. William Philpott was the first doctor to diagnose me with MS. He is known for his work with magnets and health. By MRI I was shown to have many brain lesions, possibly due to the MS. Dr. Philpott had a plan where one could build their own devise to help heal the brain of many problems....one being depression.
If interested, do a search of his work online and you can purchase his study papers that are now being sold by different people....or read his books. Two of his best were "Brain Allergies" and "Victory Over Diabetes" His books are out-of-print, but perhaps you can find a used one.
Dr. Philpott died back in 2009 while he was in his 90's, so he must have been doing something right. Here is the article that caught my eye and made me think of Dr. Philpott. Happy Healing!
What to do when the drugs don't work
Meghan McGill was a freshman in college when she was diagnosed with depression. She lost interest in reading and dancing, two of her favorite activities, and eventually missed so many classes that she was disqualified from her university. Six years later, when she was 28, she finally saw a psychiatrist who put her on Prozac. That didn’t help either. “I lost a lot of jobs because I couldn’t call into work,” she says.
McGill’s experience is a familiar one for many patients with depression; more than one in 10 Americans take antidepressants according to the Center for Disease Control—and almost 15% of all women. But 20-40% of people cannot tolerate the side effects or do not benefit from antidepressants.
That’s why doctors are encouraged by a bizarre and novel treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), in which magnets (yes, magnets) are administered to alleviate depression. This strange strategies may provide a way to finally bring relief to patients like McGill, who don’t respond to antidepressant medications or who prefer non-drug treatments for their depression.
Last week, scientists presented their latest success with TMS at the 167th American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting in New York City. TMS was approved by the FDA in 2008 for the treatment of Depression and unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which uses electrical currents to stimulate the brain to treat serious mental illness like bipolar disorder, TMS does not spur seizures.
The researchers, led by Dr. Mark Demitrack, the chief medical officer of Neuronetics, Inc. and Dr. Kit Simpson of Medical University of South Carolina, studied 306 patients with major depressive disorder who were treated with a TMS device called the NeuroStar TMS Therapy®. (Neurostar was the first TMS therapy on the market, and in 2013, the FDA approved another TMS device called Brainsway.) After one year, people who received six weeks of daily TMS, which targeted the mood regions of the brain, 53% reported no or mild depression. After a comparable period of time, only 38% of people on antidepressants reported the same benefit.
“I think TMS is a very valuable addition to our treatment,” says Dr. Amit Anand, the vice chair for at the Center for Behavioral Health at Cleveland Clinic. Anand was not involved in the research. “It’s a way to treat Depression directly, with few side effects. Other research has shown only a small percentage of people respond to it, but I think if even a quarter of those people respond, it’s a benefit.”
Dr. Anand says the Cleveland Clinic will soon be offering the service, which he sees as an option that lies somewhere between antidepressants and ECT. “I think it’s best for people who cannot tolerate antidepressants due to side effects,” he says. “It is does give people hope, but I think expectations should be realistic.”
Dr. Demitrack says TMS comes in when doctors and patients are looking for a second option. “The next option would be the addition of another medication, or they might be recommended to receive Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which is more invasive and complicated.” Instead, they could try TMS.
In TMS therapy, a large magnet is put to the left side of the patient’s head. Magnetic pulses are thought to stimulate areas of the patient’s brain that are underactive and are involved in mood regulation. The patient is awake and alert the entire time. The are few side effects other than occasional headaches.
TMS, however, is $998 more expensive than drug therapy, but since it’s a limited-time treatment, the company argues it in two years it is more affordable than additional rounds of drug therapy. Insurance companies are starting to pay for the treatment. (The study was conducted by and for the medical device company, Neuronetics, Inc.)
For now, Dr. Demitrack says TMS is only being studied in patients who don’t respond to antidepressants, and not as a first line therapy. Though, he says he could so how one day patients might prefer it as a first line treatment, even though it’s logistically more difficult than drugs. The American Psychiatric Association does not have an official statement on TMS, but it notes that meta-analyses have discovered relatively small to moderate benefits from TMS.
Encouraging results may help more patients like McGill to finally free themselves from their worst depressive symptoms. “At the second week of treatment, I was suddenly singing to the radio in my car,” she says. “I realized how very different I felt. I just thought, Wow.”

This is a reply to # 2,173,617Brain magnets? Could be the results of mercury and other metals in fillings re Dr. Hulda Clark 's work. How can magnets work?
Whatever gets into the body for toxic substances including radiation and parasitss with their metabolic end products affects the brain. Basically acetaldehyde from an over-run of candida and ammonia from the metabolic end products of other parasites. Two things to consider.
The whole body is connected and in order for a balance to be re-gained, the toxins, radiation and parasitic stuff--the only 3 causes of diseases on the planet-- have to be eliminated. Then the body needs a good supply of natural minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, vitamin D from the sun and such. Superfoods like Spirulina and chlorella are some good examples of complete whole foods. juicing is a form of concentrated nutrients, too. Lack of proper nutrition can cause disease.
Be happy and do what makes you happy as long as it is clean and healthy for the body, mind and spirit.
Drugs are chemical poisons that destroy the body because they are incompatible with the body and only destroy tissue and pollute the body in general. Nobody ever suffers from a lack of drugs. They accelerates any disease process. That chemical poisons that alter brain function can help is a hoax. Anyone can google "Psychiatry An Industry Of Death" and learn the background of psychiatry. No Science behind it whatsoever.

This is a reply to # 2,190,997The focus of my post was about my story and how I applied natural healing...unless you don't think magnets are a natural way of healing. I think they are a whole lot better than taking medications.
The rest was just a news article that pertained to one similar method I had already tried with success. In other words...who needs a doctor doing it when we can do it ourselves.
I also used the Ask Moreless pH protocols to heal with. Perhaps that will help you understand a little better.
Not everyone who has MS has fillings or even vaccines...For religious reasons I did not have vaccines growing up.
I have been a member of this website for many years helping people after I got my healing. So I'm very supportive of this website being dedicated to educating instead of medicating.
I pray you will be able to do the same.- Re: Doctors Treat Depression With Br... UserX

This is a reply to # 2,191,112Anything other than drugs is acceptable. At least it won't kill you like the drugs do.
I know all about Moreless and his protocols and have have nothing more to say.
God bless.
