Good morning. I am new here and was actually interested in Ozone Therapy for my father but figured I had best screw my head on first. I suffer from depression and am presently being treated with meds. When I am at my low, the doctor's answers are to simply increase my meds. Can anyone enlighten me on any and all alternative medical practices in regards to depression?

Tim

Hi Tim-

That's a BIG topic. I recommend that you start with the basics first, so you don't get lost along the way.

The first thing to examine is your diet and digestive system ( including weight and water drinking habits ).

By digestive system, I also mean what you are digesting with mind and heart. I've assisted a few individuals just by helping them change their life environment.

To start, I recommend reading the book "Restoring your Digestive Health", by Jordan S. Rubin, N.M.D, and Joseph Brasco, M.D.

Although you may not have the serious bowel conditions that are discussed in the book, these guys do a GREAT job in giving a proper understanding of the digestive system.

Kind Regards,

Jason

There is a BIG knowledge about treatment of depression by means of healthy food in ancient Indian medicine Ajurveda. There is really a significant influence of the food and function of digestive system.
There are some simple rules of healthy food, you may use them and this will help you to win depression.
1. eat fruits only to the empty stomach, an hour before or 3-4 hours after lunch or dinner;
2. twice daily eat vegetables before processed food;
3. don"t drink water or any soft drink, soda or anything else during or after eating; it"s the main reason of digestive disorders;
4. try to eat less processed food and more natural;
5. it would be better to eat vegetarian food or minimize lean meat, poultry or fish;
6. add bran to the boiled or cooked meal, it cleans the organizm and helps best in the case of depression;
7. there are many other natural methods to help you, you can send me PM.

Hi Diana:

I have studied "diet" and nutrition for a long time. I believe that proper diet is based on individual need. I believe it is a critical mistake to apply "doctrine" and "dogma" to nutrition.

"One size" does not fit all. For optimum health, we may require a different dietary philosophy at different stages of our lives.

Perhaps at one time in our collective history, the above statement would not be true... but in the POST-modern world, it definately is.

I don't believe that "celebrities" are a good judge of dietary habits... especially since many "celebrities" are young, and their healthful appearance may just be an illusion of youth.

Instead, you may wish to ask yourself what you need to accomplish for your health?

Do I think that people should listen carefully to the words written by Jordan Rubin?

Yes, I do.

I also believe that people interested in nutrition should examine the dietary ideologies of the Weston Price Foundation, and apply consideration ( but only consideration ) to paleo dietary philosophies.

Kind Regards,

From what I've read Gotu Kola is an excellent herb that among many other health benefits, can help with depression. You may be able to find a plant at a local nursery or garden shop (if they sell herbs). There is an old saying that eating "two leaves a day keeps old age away", or at least I think that's how it goes. It's also great for improving memory and meditation.

North pole magnetic energy has been proven to aid with depression. The Albert Roy Davis lab sells a pair of magnetic lens glasses that can be used for this purpose.

Hot peppers can help too. They have many medicinal benefits and I think one of them is improving mood.

Depression Exercise

Exercise is essential for physical and mental health. It provides an outlet for releasing negative emotions, such as anger, frustration, and irritability. By stimulating the production of neurochemicals in the brain, such as norepinephrine, it can help to lift you out of a depressive funk.

Physical activity should be a part of any therapy for depression.

Even if used alone, exercise can often bring startling results. Studies show that jogging for 30 minutes three times a week can be as effective as psychotherapy in treating depression. Any exercise is fine; the more energetic and aerobic, the better.

There are a lot of factors that can affect whether a person has depression or not. The two main ways to reduce or eliminate depression are exercise and a healthy diet. As far as medicines, there is St. John's Wort and SamE. Another option is to see if your doctor will switch your prescription medicine to try another. -Bella Vega, Health Insurance Advisor

Diet has a profound effect on the mental health of a person. Even a single nutritional deficiency can cause depression in susceptible people. Nutritional therapy builds up brain chemicals, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, that affect the mood and are often lacking in depressed people. Eating foods rich in vitamin B, such as wholegrains, green vegetables, eggs, and fish helps restore vitality and cheer in an individual.

Good Day to you!

I really want to help as I also struggle with depression both before, and then much worse after my children were born. I have done much research experimentation, and consulting with professionals on the matter.

I want to first tell you that when it comes to diet, the very best way to deal with depression is to meet your dietary needs.When you eat nutritious foods that meet your dietary needs both your body and brain will perform better. Also, eating delicious and healthy foods that tickle our taste buds increases serotonin production in the brain! This means more happy for you. There is a reason the Food Guide of Canada recommends we eat a variety of foods. A variety of foods offers a variety of nutrients. These nutrients are the gas it takes to fuel our body's engine. Use fresh, natural, from scratch, (even organic if you can afford it) ingredients and cook them as little as possible for maximum health benefits.

Water is very necessary. Our bodies are made of water. The planet is made of mostly water. Water is the most natural of all healing remedies. When you don't get enough water you will eventually exhibit symptoms of dehydration. Some of these symptoms include: stiff neck, headache, tiredness or even extreme fatigue, hangover symptoms (hangover is caused by dehydration). A dehydrated brain will literally be more dry than a well-hydrated brain. A well-hydrated brain works better. A brain that is dry and does not function properly will not be as likely to produce high levels of serotonin (Happiness inducing hormone). 6 to 8 eight glasses a day is ideal (about 1.5 litres).

All that being said there are some herbal remedies that work well on depression and anxiety. Kava Kava is one and Valerian Root is another. These are relatively fast-acting and potent herbs that will affect you within the hour. If you are on medication already make sure to discuss the herbal medicine you wish to take as in conjunction with prescription drugs some herbal remedies can raise heart rate. I have used these remedies though and find them effective.

I think the best alternative remedy I could recommend to you would be a UV or Light energy lamp. These are often used to treat depression (especially for those with seasonal depression), and all that is needed to apply it is to shine it in your direction. You bask in the light and your body absorbs the energy as if you had just had been exposed to the sun. These are supposed to be highly effective and I have known a few friends to use them and report positive effects!

Sorry for the wordiness but this is a serious topic! Smile

hope some of it helps....

Meditation. Soooooo good at relaxing the mind. Do a bit of research and try it yourself at home or visit a local Buddhist temple meditation session for an uplifting, soothing experience. All Buddhist temple's have meditation sessions and the monks and nuns will be happy to help you. Another great intro resource would be local meditation groups led by community members. They are usually smaller and more intimate.

Truly speaking you fall with in the domain of the people that believe that Ozone has some heeling properties.Others have argued that such claims are nonscientific and that ozone has no proven benefits...
