Depression is universally understood to be a condition of sadness and despondency…. life has lost its luster and gloom prevails.
Some sadness is an inherent part of weathering life’s misfortunes. People normally recover from such low points and carry on. Other conditions of sadness may require lifestyle changes such as resolving a rocky marriage, dropping bad habits, removing oppressive factors or people from one’s life. Still other situations may require the counsel of a good friend or priest or minister - someone one can trust and discuss his or her troubles with. However, sometimes people don’t recover from life’s setbacks or they become depressed over insignificant matters or for no reason at all. The feelings of sadness may simply slow them down or can debilitate them to the point where they weep continuously, cannot function in life or may even consider ending it all.
When a person remains depressed despite normal efforts to remedy the problem (obviously this would mean to actually confront and fix the problems in your life that are causing you to be unhappy), then a physical source of the depression should be considered.
Let me tell you something remarkable… there is absolutely NO depression nor illness that wouldn’t be greatly reduced if not CURED by simply balancing the nutrients and hormones in your body! The number one physical source of depression is “nutritional deficiencies” (not enough folic acid or fatty acids, or certain vitamins) and/or “nutritional overload” (too much copper, etc)! Second is “lack of exercise” and third is “hormonal imbalances”. Next in line are food allergies and heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium and thallium) found in the body at high rates.
Let’s back up and take a look at something… you truly “are what you eat”! A blood cell lasts only 60-120 days. In 3-4 months your whole blood supply is completely replaced. In 6 months almost all the proteins in your body die and are replaced, even the DNA of your genes. In a year all your bones and even the enamel of your teeth is replaced, constructed entirely out of the nutrients you eat! If I was to remove all the vitamin C from your diet, within 4 weeks your blood vitamin C will drop to zero. BUT you will see no symptoms of disease at that point. You have to wait until enough of the healthy cells have been replaced by the UNhealthy cells. It will be another 12 weeks before the symptoms of scurvy start to ravage your body! So… what you eat today may not affect you today… just give it some time… and then you will eventually collapse from eating chips and coke and french fries daily! You’ll wake up one morning feeling awful and wonder if it was because of what you ate last night… WRONG! It’s from what you ate (or didn’t eat!) 3-6 months ago!
Stress is often blamed as the root cause for anxiety depression and fatigue, but although stress (which is really oppression in one or more areas of your life), can make any problem worse, the source of such problems is often physical in nature as we’ve covered earlier. And hypoglycemia is one of the major physical causes. Hypoglycemia is really just a name for your body’s reaction to what you put in it. It is the body’s inability to properly regulate blood levels, causing the level of sugar in the blood to be too low or to fall too rapidly. Blood sugar, in the form of glucose, is the basic fuel for all brain operation and physical activity, including muscular. If the available fuel is too inadequate, then any of your marginal physical or mental systems may start to shut down. In addition, glandular imbalances start to occur (hormonally), it can create especially high adrenaline which leads to anxiety or panic and even violence!
Heres how it goes:
1. you eat or drink excess sugar
2. the body releases insulin to put sugar into storage, but the insulin response is excessive
3. about 2 hours later so much sugar has been put into storage that there is not enough left in the blood, and you get a low-blood-sugar emergency.
4. the body responds to the emergency by dumping adrenaline into the system
5. more symptoms follow from the high adrenaline, such as racing heart, anxiety, etc
6. critical hormones rise and fall, causing an unbalance in up to 60 different hormones!
Typical mental symptoms: anxiety, phobias, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, depression, violent outbursts, obsessive behavior, crying spells, unsocial, nightmares, etc. Typical physical symptoms are: headaches, racing pulse, fatigue, weakness in knees, twitching, abnormal weight, cravings for alcohol or sweets, lack of appetite, blurred vision, joint pains, gasping for breath, etc.
Another clue is that the symptoms are usually worse in the early morning after waking, and get better after being up and around a full day or so.
To reverse the condition, the glands must be allowed to recover. This is done by eliminating all foods and beverages that deliver sugar rapidly. The best foods to eat are http://www.juiceplus.com/+mp43095 raw fresh fruits and vegetables, (THIS is why you NEED to be on Juice Plus!) seeds and nuts (not peanuts) and fish, the next best foods are turkey, organic eggs, organic beef and chicken (organic means they will have no added hormones), beans, vegetable juices, spring or filtered water, herbal tea. The worst foods are anything with artificial sweetners, sugars, corn syrup, raisins, honey, hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils including margarine (these are hormone Imbalancers!), peanuts, corn, white wheat flour and white rice, alcohol, skim milk, soda, colas.
And then getting your female/male hormones balanced naturally.
Now hopefully you will better understand what happens to you if you use synthetic drugs and/or hormones in an effort to “solve” your emotional or physical difficulties! Synthetic drugs and synthetic hormones don’t match anything normally found in the body and are NOT used as a nutrient by your body. In fact the combination of synthetics can greatly alter the correct bio- chemical balance within your system causing much more havoc down the road by destroying cell membranes where hormones do their work or by destroying and eating up the nutrients you do try to put in your body!
” Chemical imbalance” which is the new buzzword used by the pseudo-science of mental health practitioners and has no basis in scientific fact! Having a “nutritional & hormonal imbalance” is real and should be treated with natural solutions… not by adding in “other chemicals” that are foreign to the body.
