Guest guest Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Hi! I agree, because I love Lepidolite. It does work. Last year I brought a Lepidolite sphere that radiates energy and eases all my depression everytime I go near it. --Barbara , " Michelle " <michelle wrote: > > Hi there! > > My intuition tells me Lepidolite and Lithium Quarz.. also Rose Quartz > and some Clear Quartz with lots of rainbows. > > Blessings, > Michelle > > , " Perdita Raine " > <perdita.raine@> wrote: > > > > I'd like to jump in on this conversation while it's going on.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Hi, Someone posted this info on weaning off of anti depressant drugs. They also mention a great book to read about it, too. It is called the Water Filtration method of weaning. I am going to paste a sticky I had on the Mental Health and Hypo forum on STTM. This was written by Cathy, one of our members here who has experience with this: We have had a lot of experience with someone who was placed on several psych meds before finding their low thyroid problem and being properly treated with Armour. Over the past year they have been slowing reducing and removing the psych drugs and have had great success with it as long as they went slow enough. Everything that you are describing " irritability, tired, cranky, and just downright mean " - are all withdrawal symptoms. You mentioned " seriously wanting to hurt people " - unfortunately a lot of people become violent and even suicidal, who were not previously that way, when they are withdrawing (too fast) off of their antidepressents or especially neuroleptic drugs. I don't think that most docs understand how difficult it is to withdraw off these meds and most don't encourage people to go slow enough. Unfortunately a lot of people have terrible withdrawal symptoms while coming off these meds too quickly, and all these problems are used to justify forcing the person back on the drug - you start thinking you must need it or you wouldn't be feeling or acting like this - but actually it is a withdrawal symptom, that seems to pass if you can slow enough. Fatigue and irritability seem to be huge withdrawl symptoms for most people. There is a good book by Dr. Peter Breggin called " Your Drug May Be Your Problem " that explains how to get off these meds. For antidepressants, he suggests doing a 10% reduction of your dosage every 7 to 10 days. (It is much slower than that with neuroleptic drugs because it can take as long as 10 to 14 days for the reduction to hit your system). So if you were currently taking say 40 mgs of Lexapro, you would reduce it by 10% which would be 4 mgs, down to 36 mgs. Then in 7 to 10 days if you were feeling well and stable, you would reduce by another 10% down to 32 mgs, and then down to 28 mgs and so on. If at the end of 7 to 10 days of a reduction you don't feel stable yet, then you should just hold steady until you do and then make the next reduction. The main thing is how you are feeling, not the exact number of days that have gone by. The easiest way to do a 10% reduction is by what is called " water filtration " . If your antidepressant is in a capsule you would simply open the capsule and dump the contents into 10 oz of water, dissolve, pour out 1 oz of the mixture and drink the other 9 oz. Then for the next reduction in a week or so, you would pour out 2 oz and drink the 8 oz, and so on. But you might have a problem with your antidepressant tasting really bitter doing it this way. We have been able to do the water filtration with all of their meds so far, except for the generic prozac. They could not tolerate it dissolved in water like that. Said it was terribly nasty! We also tried dissolving it into apple juice but it was still too bitter. So we are simply using smaller dose capsules to try to keep it as close to a 10% reduction as possible. I believe that Lexapro comes in tablet form rather than capsule, you can try crushing it and dissolving it in water. If it is bitter that way, you can try to get a prescription for smaller tablets or try breaking off a small piece of your regular tablet. I know that is not exact but it is better than taking huge reductions all at once. He also comments in the book (and we have found this to be true) that if you have been on the antidepressant for over one year then you may have to take the reductions slower than 7 to 10 days. So just want to mention that if you have been taking an antidepressant for as long as a year or more then you may need to go a slower then every 10 days or so. HOWEVER LONG YOU'VE BEEN TAKING LEXAPRO, IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO GO SLOWLY - and do about a 10% reduction of your regular dosage every 7 to 10 days as long as you are stable. It is also important to keep things around you as stress free as possible Some are finding that 30 minutes of cardio (light jogging) makes a big difference for the better in helping them get thru the terrible fatigue and mood swings of coming off the prozac. I hope this helps. And try to remember that - slow and steady wins the race.

Guest guest Report post Posted August 24, 2008 Hi Karen, I understand exactly where you are coming from. Doctor had told me with my recurrent depressive episodes I would need to stay on meds for life. I refused to accept that as the last word... Hope you don't mind but instead of repeating myself I am just going to post links here of my replies in previous threads: This talks about a method which approaches mental illnesses as biochemical imbalances which can be managed nutritionally: http://health./message/48998 About some supplements: http://health./message/50699 http://health./message/52820 I live by the Pfeiffer approach now and have been meds free for over 2 years now. I stay on the diet and I take ALL the supplements, everyday. Someone mentioned Vitamin D - I do supplement this also, mostly in winter now, but was everyday at the beginning of the programme. You are on the right track with the SJW, SAMe and Omega 3 fatty acids, but may need other things too. EFT also helped me a huge amount to clear out some emotional issues which were holding me back and which I think also contributed to my depression. Acupuncture also helped me a great deal. (If your acupuncturist diagnoses problems with liver chi/meridian, you may want to consider a liver cleanse too - search this forum for details or email me and I can tell you what I do). I suggest you get your hand on Pfeiffer's book and see if you think it's relevant for you. Personally I think depression needs to be approached from a physical AND emotional basis.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 12, 2008 Ok, let me tell you what others have told me- it is not pleasant at first hearing (at least for me at the time)- the best way to stop being depressed is to STOP. But how do I do that- was my first question. You just make a conscious decision that you will no longer entertain thoughts of being depressed. Are we are feelings? Do we have authority over where we direct our minds? Then there are other actions we can take to re-enforce our decision to be happy. I would contemplate making sure you get sunshine everyday, take a walk, watch a video that makes you laugh and smile, grow a plant, keep a fish or some other pet, tell the universe/God/whatever works for you- THANK YOU for each day you have the opportunity to be alive. Make a list of everything that is working in your life right now- I know there are at least two- your breathing and your heart is pumping. Make that three- your eyes are working well enough to read the computer. Four- you have a computer. Five- your electric bill is paid enough that you can run a computer. Six- you have a roof over your head that keeps your computer safe and dry when it rains.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 13, 2008 Dear ssherryhh46- Like I said, I know it will piss people off, it did me. I did not say " it ain't so " and " think your way out " , and if it was interpreted that way let me restate again- the practice is to stop playing with the sticky non-nuturing thought patterns/emotions and redirect our mind and attentions to something we do want. Don't interact with those thought patterns/emotions and become engaged in something that nutures us more. This is actually a structured practice and if anyone is interested I would recommend: If there is a possibility of suicide- which I don't remember the original poster mentioning then look at homeopathic Aurum Metallicum. This life long issue has led me to consider at some point, to some degree I have to look at myself and how I use my mind. I find that a much more empowering statement than just take xxx. It is fine if we disagree. ------- There comes a time in some people's lives that just saying " it aint so " won't cut it. You think most depressed people haven't thought about thinking your way out of the " well " ? Everyone has a right to their opinion and mine is that your's is NOT always right. There might be some poor soul who will give up on themself and end it all because they were not able to think their way into feeling " good " . , " desertskynm " <desertskynm wrote: > > Ok, let me tell you what others have told me- it is not pleasant at > first hearing (at least for me at the time)- the best way to stop being > depressed is to STOP. > > But how do I do that- was my first question.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 24, 2008 Dear Jennifer, Coming off Prozac is a tricky situation since if it is not handled correctly, a Prozac Patient is very prone to committing suicide. A tremendous amount of Highest Quality Nutrition HAS to go into her diet as she's being weaned off of this heinous and deadly drug. In a previous post, I recommended the Total Nutrition Recipe for an MS sufferer, and I'd also recommend this as a start for anyone coming off of any Psych Drug. A full Total Body Cleanse would also be in order. All the best, Doc Jennifer wrote: Hi everyone, My friend recently tried to commit suicide. She has been on prozac for about 2 years. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a diet for someone who is depressed or any other known natural remedy. Regards, Jennifer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted October 30, 2008 Toya, Others here are likely much better versed than me in herbal approaches to elevate mood and fight depression. As you know, I am a very firm believer in keeping a positive attitude and believing with all your heart and soul that you ARE going to win - and you stand out as a sterling example to me of someone who has done that along with giving 100% effort at maintaining a complete anti-cancer lifestyle and sticking to their protocol. Since most people are already close to a point of overkill when it comes to the supplements they are taking, my first choices would be trying to keep your life as stress free as possible, using EFT and other relaxation techniques like meditation, yoga, etc. Moderate exercise (if possible) can have tremendous benefits for mood and mental attitude. So can things like finding enjoyable hobbies and activities, and getting out and about and enjoying life. Finding one or more friends to lean on, support your struggles and boost your spirits can be invaluable. I have tried to be that kind of friend for you - especially when things looked the darkest - and wish that I could do the same for every single member. As it is, I try to offer encouragement and advice here in this forum and elsewhere. Some of the things that should be incorporated into a cancer fighting protocol also perform a double duty in helping mood: colloidal gold, omega-3s, trace minerals and OxyGen all come to mind - as well as a good diet and supplementation program overall. The brain is an organ too and like all the other organs, it needs complete and balanced nutrition to function properly. Keep up the good fight - I am so proud of you! oleander soup , " T " <tla7220 wrote: > > Tony, > With all the uncertainty and question's a person fighting cancer might > have.....What supplement's or herb's etc. might help them at different > times in their process of getting well? > Thanks, > Toya > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 31, 2008 I love you Tony.You have been a precious friend and encourager in my darkest moment's for sure.Funny how a person could save your life over a computer:)I notice that as my body detoxes the chemicals it affects my mood stability and state of mind sometimes.I will try more exercise and count my blessing's more.I have learned alot and a very important thing about healing..... it sometimes is fast and sometimes it's a process.I also find it interesting that as I continue to heal in my body .....some healing is happening in my emotions(spirit).I'm really starting to embrace the "mind,body and spirit" approach in healing more than ever.It might be a real mistake not to at least consider it?

Where I am hesitant to recommend herbs to anyone taking medication, as I am not knowledgeable enough to know what intereacts with what, Kristi is the perfect person and she may even be instrumental in helping you withdraw from those meds. She is wonderful and will be there for you and support you all the way. I am so sorry. I am sending it to you by email the minute I press " send.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 6, 2009 A certain George Eby from Texas solved his depression taking various forms of magnesium. Highly recommended is magnesium taurate for oral applications and magnesium chloride for transdermal applications. I would also recommend folic acid.
