Re: Impaired Gallbladder Function Linked to Depression

I think this article from Biological Psychiatry (January 2002) is important. If this is true then SAD affects us all...and the only difference between individuals in the degree of the effect lies in our daily choices of health-giving practices.

I have read that bilirubin is formed from the normal death of blood cells. And there is a connection to bilirubin forming liver/gallbladder stones, perhaps in concert with other substances, maybe even stresses, too.

Decades ago, LIFE magazine featured a picture taken in Moscow of folks in large warm coats, standing around the base of a statue. Every one of them had their coats held wide open, to expose that they were wearing summer shorts, etc. underneath.

Everyone had their eyes closed, faces lifted to the winter sun...they were sunbathing!

If you have a window (one that opens) that faces Southeast, in North America, you have your own sun-tanning parlor. You can be naked, if you like. That is, as long as no one can see in.

Ours shines on our bed...light yellow bedding in a completely soft yellow room.

We also have a sliding glass door that faces Southwest. Later in the day we could lie on the carpet and sunbathe...though it would be better to wear something to stand up.

I also keep our Tony Little Gazelle glider/strider out on the deck, and have been known to use it at sunrise. Wonderful!

I especially like this article's reference to sleep. More good seems to happen to us in sleep than we usually guess.

I know nothing of Dr. Mercola's methods, but they sound reasonable so far. Still, anyone who brings an article like this to our attention, must recognize its value.

Thanks, Agnes.
