Re: 5 HTP vs. Sam-E

After being on these meds for years, I now realize that we are not deficient in some chemicals.....Took me a lot of years to find that out though.

First if I had to do it over again and knew then what I know now...I would start by going to a natural holistic doctor and having hormonal and nutritional panels done to find out if anything is out of balance or lacking in my diet that could cause my Depression or anxiety.

Here's a few of the things that I've learned in very brief terms.

From Dr. Ann Tracy's CD "help I can't get off my antidepressant"
All mental illness is related to blood sugar, so keeping blood Sugar levels normal is parimount. This means get off all Sugar and foods that turn to Sugar quickly and eat a balanced diet. Real food not junk food. Junk food has no nutriton.

Also from Dr. Tracy... AD's are endocrine disruptors. They screw up all your hormones. The mechanism by which they work are flawed causing an increase in the symptoms that you were trying to resolve.

Next, that our modern diets makes us nutrient deficient and cause all kinds of illness. Farming practices today make even the "GOOD" foods low in nutrients. Again 80% of the population is low in mag and low mag can cause depression.

Also, Antibiotics can cause Depression and other symptoms as they lower immunity, kill your good bacteria, lead to yeast overgrowht. That was my issue. Read my posts to find more on that. Yeast overgrowth is a BIG reason for depression.

Omega 6 to 3 imbalances are causing many illnesses. That coupled with the Antibiotics and increase in sugar are I believe the main culprits in Depression and all modern illness. This combo causes inflammation thoughout the entire body and can affect the brain. Read my other posts for more on that also.

Aspartame, MGS, and hidden food ingredients in FAST Food and conveniece foods are another. Along with lack of exercise and sunlight.

It is these things that we need to look at when resolving depression and anxiety, not meds.

AD's are an assault on humanity. I heard someone say that, and I now totally agree.
