TREATING DEPRESSION & OTHER MENTAL DISORDERS NATURALLY
I am getting a tremendous amount of calls from members who are suffering or have loved ones or clients suffering from depression. There are natural alternatives to the anti-depression chemical drugs being handed out like candy from your allopathic doctor. Many of these drugs such as, ProzacR, ValiumR, PaxilR, ZolofR, and ElavilR, have terrible side effects and really have very little or no curative benefits at all.
In my experience, depression is linked to liver toxicity (chemical imbalances) which can be caused by chronic negative mental attitude, chemical or heavy metal poisonings and other experiences that may have toxified the liver. Depression cases should all take the 4-HERB TEA. The 4-HERB TEA (generic brand of ESSIACTM) is a liver cleanser and a blood booster. It is a safe and effective way to help reduce liver toxicity and stimulate the body's blood system. Many times the liver is toxic due to the chronic chemical imbalances. For the depression symptoms, St. John's Wort standardized capsules are excellent. It is the number one anti-depression natural remedy used in many countries in Europe. St. John's Wort traditional medicinal properties are alterative (blood purifier/liver cleanser), nervine, sedative and mild diuretic (helps flush kidneys too!) These are healing qualities and so not only are you getting relief from the depression symptoms, the St. John's Wort, when used with the 4-Herb tea, will help you heal. Dose of St. John's Wort is 1-3 caps daily (standardized to .3 hypericin). You must use the standardized extracts, not tinctures and teas, so you get an exact dose every time. The 4-HERB TEA should be taken 2 times per day and made according to enclosed directions. If you have irritability and nervousness with your depression symptoms I recommend that you also take our homeopathic formula #304 - Nervous Disorders. 1 tablet 4 times per day ($8.00 per bottle) along with the St. John's Wort and 4-Herb tea will prove very beneficial.
Severe and chronic depression patients need to have a hair analysis (see hair analysis on Web Site) to determine if heavy metal or malnutrition is contributing or causing the problem. It is my professional, naturopathic opinion, that the chemical drugs that are regularly prescribed for this condition are not only suppressing and aggravating the problem, but will cause other side effects in the future. Also, many of you have been to your doctors with other difficult problems and after all the tests they can do, they still did not find your problem. In many cases, the doctor now turns to the statement "It's caused by stress" or "It's all in your head" and prescribes an antidepressant or nerve pills. This is their way of saying "We don't know how to help you!". Before you take any chemical drug, find out what it is prescribed for as many of you are getting nerve pills and you shouldn't be. Don't let your doctor drug you into the next realm! It is also my opinion that many of your chronic ailments and complaints are NOT in your head. Sure, your symptoms may be aggravated by stress, but disease IS NOT caused by stress. It is caused by virus, fungus, bacteria, parasites, or immune failure due to malnutrition, hormonal imbalances, body damage, etc.... but certainly not by stress alone.

5-HTP TO THE RESCUE!
Obsessive Compulsive Disorders (OCD), Alcohol Addiction, Seasonal Affective Disorders (SAD), Insomnia (Sleep disorders), Obesity and other toughies can now be helped with 5-HTP.
We would like to introduce you to OXITRIPTAN or 5-HTP. (5-Hydroxytryptophan). It is a dietary supplement extract from the African Griffonia simplicifolia plant. The finished extract called 5-HTP is the intermediate between L-Tryptophan and Seratonin. It is a potent nutrient that is in limited supply. In 1989 the FDA (for reasons only they really understand) embargoed tryptophan, an amino acid that was used by people for relief from depression, insomnia, and anxiety. Now we have another leading natural alternative. 5-HTP is the less well known "cousin" of Tryptophan, the amino-acid precursor to Serotonin 5-HT, one of the most important brain neuro transmitters. Research has shown that Serotonin is a key neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, impulse control inhibits aggression and OCD, pain control and sleep. Human clinical studies have shown that 5-HTP to be more effective than Tryptophan. Studies show that when the amino acid Tyrosine, is also given with 5-HTP the effects are even better. Van Pragg's research showed that 5-HTP is more effective when
treating anxious, aggressive, compulsive, irritable depression than when used on the vegetative "blahs" type depression. There can be side effects to the use of this product. Gastrointestinal upset, euphoria and drowsiness, so daily dosage should be strictly adhered to. Research also shown 5-HTP to increase the activity of MAO inhibitor drugs, tricyclic antidepressants and selective Seratonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft. Therefore 5-HTP should not be used when taking any chemical, synthetic anti-depression medication. Daily dose of 5-HTP should be minimum - 50 mg (1 daily) to maximum - 150 mg (3 daily). Take in the evening before bed and in the morning.
