That article appears accurate to me. Based on my own personal experiences, it is loaded with good stuff.
Here is something to add to it:
I have had two MDs who specialize in lyme patients. Both of them said that a high majority (as high as 90%) of psychiatric patients actually have lyme or a lyme-like infection, and that some of their lyme patients presented with depression as their only symptom. The majority of these folks get a lot better psychiatrically with long term antibiotics and/or herbal treatments.
Why the CDC sticks up their nose at the overwhelming clinical evidence in the real world (doesn't jive well with their supposedly scientific findings), I have no clue.
"if Western medicine understood how to boost the immune system naturally,"...from the article....well, Western medicine has no good excuses, because the methods to reliably awaken or relax or balance the immune system, as well as antimicrobials of all kinds, anti inflammation of various mechanisms, toxin removal....all this stuff is already known and has been for a really long time! It's just that Americans find themselves where they cannot relate to anything unless it is "scientific". The Chinese don't care how an herb works, only that it does and has proven itself for 2000 years. Americans don't really care if a drug works well or not, only that they understand the science behind it. The proof is in all our meds which tested at about 40% to 60% effective, slightly higher than a sugar pill. The stuff we need to know, is already here, has been here, but is purposely ignored by most Americans. Why would they do that? I have no clue. Maybe they like to suffer? Maybe they think their medical system is better than it actually is? Maybe they have a trust in medicine that is unjustified? I don''t know.
But I do know that all of the stuff discussed in that article did indeed have more of a positive impact on my treatment resistant depression than any of the many dozens of psych meds I tried (Nardil was the only one not tried). The whole psychiatric journey in my life was a total waste of years and life. Antibiotics did for me what no psych drug could ever do. Herbs too, very good.
And if my two MDs are correct in their opinions, then that means about 8 or 9 out of every 10 people at psychobabble would benefit from taking a look outside of American psychiatry.
Just sayin.
