Antidepressant Increases Risk of Suicide in Kids

[Guest guest]

Dear Saul...

 

This board is here for the very reason to discuss and educate people about safe,

natural, effective alternatives. Homeopathy is effective when applied

correctly- and that is why it is so important to teach people about how to use

homeopathy and it's principles... For example, the vital role of monitoring

and re-tuning a case, rather than just taking a set remedy ad infinium... I

have personally seen the difference it has made in my life, and in the lives of

those around me... Even suicidal depression can come under the domain of

different homeopathic remedies, and that is why it is so important to let people

know there are options, and help them learn how to use them...

 

Bach Flower remedies (which are a world apart from herbal St. John's Wart- which

as a homeopath, and having a deeper understanding of Hypericum, I don't see as

very valuable for depression anyways) are limited in that the potencies are

limited, and the selection of remedies is limited compared to homeopathy, but

because they too are vital in nature, and because they directly address and work

with the emotional body, can still be of great value...

 

Acupuncture, is a different system, and I am not thoroughly knowledgeable about

it, but since it works with the vital force, aka chi, I can see where it would

access the body in a deeper way and therefore able to make substantial shifts in

the mind, body dynamic...

 

Allopathic medicine gets more than it's fair share of media attention... To the

tune of billions of dollars of advertizing per year... This board is dedicated

to natural solutions and alternatives, what is becoming an increasingly

persecuted territory... It is coming to the point where we are loosing the

freedom to even discuss natural solutions outside of a medical model, even

though the medical model is clearly shown to be hopelssly lost and confused,

even to the point where in the Journal of the American Medical Association it is

recognized to be the third leading cause of death in America...

 

If instead of learning about these natural solutions, and how to use them, you

are more comfortable and prefer to discuss allopathic medicine, may I suggest

joining a more allopathic board instead...

 

Best Wishes,

Hi,

 

Depression is a very serious condition, only getting more publicity recently

due to high profile public figures suffering from it. I am unaware of any

alternative solutions that are as effective as anti-depressants. Homeopathy

works for some people but is completely ineffective for others. And Bach

Flower Remedies and other alternatives like St John's Work only work with

very mild depression. While acupuncture has many proven benefits, it

shouldn't be used as a direct response to depression or instead of medical

intervention. Ignoring pharmacological intervention could be just as

dangerous as dealing with 'dangerous anti-depressants'. More importantly,

there should be a holistic approach, which alternative therapies being

practised alongside medication.
