Just a quick hello. New doctor these days. He is awesome. Diagnosed me not with depression or anxiety, but rather neurotoxicity. In the process of doing some specialized Johns Hopkins tests and treatments. Sounds expensive but they are actually cheap, easy, and natural. Neurotoxicity from mercury fillings, copper water pipes, SSRIs, SNRIs, antipsychotics, and stimulants.
No drugs in months. Doing a lot better. Much room for improvement, but better than any drug in 10 years. I always swore by psychiatric drugs. Complete faith in them. Looking back now from the the other side of the fence, I can see how neurotoxic and damaging they really are. Takes a long time and lots of specialized effort to heal from the dramatic brain abnormalities they cause.
There are a dozen or more physical bodily causes of depression and anxiety. Deficient serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, gaba are just symptoms of something else that is awry. In short, as long as the brain is intact (hasn't had a bullet or baseball bat), it can work just fine until impacted upon by an outside force. One or more of those listed above. Even genetic abnormalities can be manipulated with specific nutrients and supplements.
Thumbs up to all. Hey, I still have depression and anxiety just like you all. Just not nearly as bad and not nearly as often as I used to. The best move I ever made was weening off drugs and getting a lot of testing done along with specific nurtrients and supplements.
1 tsp ish oil.
2 caps borage oil.
2 caps cordyceps.
1 mega B vitamin.
1 regular vitamin with no copper in it.
half my body weight in ounces of clean water per day (water in a plastic container is not clean, must be glass).
lots of greens and colors on the plate at mealtimes.Coming up. Detox and repair.
Hi to all my good friends!
