Fix Your Morgellon's Mood Imbalance with Herbs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have
Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome and am suffering from a variety of mood disorders, from extreme constant anxiety, to emotional flatness, general loss of desires and taking pleasure in daily life (anhedonia), depression, loss of motivation, loss of desire for socialising, and others.
I have now mostly remedied the anxiety problem with an effective anti-anxiety protocol - see the post "Magnesium - A Very Powerful Anxiety Cure".
But even when you address the anxiety, the other mood disorders / emotional imbalances still need to be fixed.
Note that although I have CFS/ME (chronic fatigue syndrome / myalgic encephalomyelitis) rather than Morgellon's, there is a huge similarity of symptoms between Morgellon's and CFS.
In CFS, the mood disorders arise from problems in the the hypothalamus - a central control region of the brain that mediates hormones and emotions. In CFS, it is believed that the hypothalamus is under attack by an ongoing low-level viral infection, and then a whole cascade of imbalances arises because of this.
There are a number of herbs and vitamin supplements that can support the hypothalamus, and in taking these, I have often found that a more balanced and normal emotional disposition quickly returns to my mind.
For anyone who wants to try these, the herbs and supplements that return emotional balance are:
Myrrh herb powder (500 mg twice a day)
Korean Ginseng (500 mg twice a day)
Royal Jelly (1500 mg twice a day)
Using one, two, or preferably all three of these, in combination with a good anti-anxiety protocol (see above), will get you a long way to feeling mentally / emotionally balanced. These three are also reasonably good anti-anxiety supplements, so they help with further lowering anxiety as well as rekindling your emotions.
For depression, a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED supplement is the herb:
Neem leaf (500 mg twice a day).
Neem is a very powerful serotonin booster (serotonin is your brain's happy chemical). Low serotonin not only causes severe depression, but can cause anxiety, sensitivity to noise, etc. Neem remedies this, so neem is an extremely effective anti-depession and anti-anxiety herb. Neem has powerful immune enhancing properties too, so it may even help fight off the Morgellon's microbe. Neem leaf capsules are quite cheap, so everyone with Morgellons disease should try neem. You will notice its mood-boosting, and deeply soothing effect on the mind within an hour of taking it. Highly recommended.
For those that are also suffering a loss of motivation, try these hormone boosters:
Tribulus Terrestris herb (500 mg twice a day)
Pregenolone (25 - 50 mg once a day)
Tribulus Terrestris boosts testosterone, and testosterone is often low in
Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome patients, leading to loss of motivation. Pregenolone is one of the body's "master switch" hormones, so gentle supplementation with this can boost your general motivational drive.
Be careful with these two, however, since if you take slightly higher doses, you can become a little aggressive, which is not what you want. Introduce these cautiously, observing your behavior carefully. Having said that, the herbs themselves are very safe, so there is nothing to worry about, other than becoming too keyed up.
But interestingly, when you take tribulus Terrestris to boost testosterone, you find that the frailty and vulnerability in your mind gets greatly reduced, which is a welcome feeling.
Finally, very low libido is a common problem in CFS, and one herb that can quickly fix this is the Indian herb Ashwagandha (also called Winter Cherry. Latin name: Withania somnifera)
The nice thing about Ashwagandha is that, in addition to returning your sex drive, it is also a powerful anti-anxiety herb in its own right - so you get two for the price of one.
Of course, none of the above supplements are a cure for Morgellon's or CFS, but they will get your mind working much better, and then you can dedicate more time and energy in pursuing that elusive cure.
It has taken me several years to test out various herbal and vitamin supplements on the market, and find out which ones are effective for my condition; I hope that this info will benefit the Morgellon's community.
