Natural Treatment of Depression and Willy's Baggie

[Guest guest]

Dear group:

 

The document following this introduction describes

what I had discovered years ago in regard to treating

depression naturally.

 

This knowledge was actually generated about three

years before the 2003 date reflected on the document

below.

 

I had my first " miraculous correction " of depression

by the use of natural therapies in August of 1999. In

August 1999 I resolved a two month long severe

depressive state in a single day. I did this by the

use of a high dose bentonite and psyllium purge,

followed a handful of hours later by high dose

probiotics and raw vegetable juicing.

 

Throughout the fall of 1999, I intentionally induced

and then corrected at least a dozen states of serious

depression using the knowledge I had stumbled into in

August. These trials as " a guinea pig for the world "

were performed for the purpose of learning, or for the

purpose of validation (as best as I could) of what I

had already learned.

 

In February of 2000 I added broad based free form

amino acids to what I was already doing to correct

depression naturally.

 

And by April 2000 I had worked out the details of what

I was doing to correct depression in myself to the

point where I felt obligated to write Dr. Abram Hoffer

(the longstanding leader of orthomolular medicine, now

retired for the most part) and tell him that " I had

hit a home run for the whole world " . By this I meant

that I knew that I had stumbled into the most advanced

understanding on earth of how to correct a state of

depression naturally (in most so afflicted).

 

Unfortunately, Dr. Hoffer could not accept what I had

to say in the above regards, such that appropriate

action was taken. What I was representing to him,

although I knew it to be true, was just too far

fetched for him to believe.

 

Since April 2000, I have intentionally either induced

or aggravated perhaps close to a hundred episodes of

depression in myself, and then corrected them

naturally. My average time of correction of a

depressive state in myself is about a half a day

(twelve hours). This is true even for depressive

episodes that are longstanding (months), or are deep

enough to involve suicidal ideation.

 

For over six years I have known deep in my heart that

I have learned a number of things about the correction

of depression that are important for the whole world.

I have made repeated efforts to be heard in this

regard. However, I have yet to find the colloboration

or support that I seek to see that this knowledge

moves forward as it should.

 

What I have learned in helping my son Willy to recover

from childhood bipolar disorder improves on what was

already a world leading degree of knowledge in regard

to how to correct depression naturally. Willy's

baggie of synergistic nutrients represents a

substantial improvement to my prior knowledge. I now

use baggies to treat depression in myself, in

combination with a number of gut correction and

dietary measures as discussed in the material below.

 

I don't have the computer time to write a new document

that contains all that I know of how to correct

depression naturally at this point. However, it would

not be that hard for someone to take the knowledge in

the document below and merge it with knowledge

contained in some of my more recent material in regard

to my son's recovery (and his baggie of synergistic

nutrients).

 

In my opinion, the merge of Willy's baggie with

concepts in the material below (and some of my other

written work) represents the highest degree of

knowledge on the planet in regard to understanding

and/or treating depression naturally (in most persons

that are so afflicted).

 

I pray that some day someone in this world will

actually listen to me, believe what I am truthfully

saying, and take appropriate action. If fairness ever

came into play, I should be nominated for the Nobel

Prize for the numerous contributions that I have made

to humanity in regard to the understanding and the

treatment of depression and manic depression

naturally. Yet I am still often abused on the net,

personally attacked, and/or summarily ignored. Often

homeless, and often broke, I have yet to get any solid

support from the world whatsoever for all that I have

done to contribute to it. I have spent about $200,000

since 1994, as well as gave up a $100,000 income and a

company that I owned (that was doing about $2,000,000

in sales annually) to be able to spend the time to

learn what I have learned about natural healing. To

date, my fiscal compensation for over twelve years of

heroic effort to crack the mystery of manic depression

for the whole world has been about $750. Not only is

my job often thankless, it sure does not pay a whole

lot... but it's the job God has asked of me, and I do

it as best I can.

 

Hopefully, my son Willy's miraculous health recovery

will help the world recognize " the many gems of great

truth " contained in my prior written work. Just

Google " Allen Darman " or " Willy Darman " ... we are both

easily found on the net.

Concepts and Ideas to Treat Depression Naturally

(2003)

 

By Allen Darman

 

The following material regards the use of amino acids

and other natural measures to treat depression.

Additionally, it discusses concepts that are often

germane to the treatment of a depressive state.

 

The concepts and approaches suggested in this material

certainly do not apply to everyone suffering from

depression. However, many of the concepts and

approaches discussed below may be germane to many, if

not most, persons in a depressed state. These concepts

and approaches certainly apply to myself. They have

also applied to every one else that I have treated for

depression (admittedly only about six persons).

 

Currently the medical model almost summarily uses

various antidepressant medications in to treat

depression. Simplistically stated, these medications

operate to increase availability of, or the usage of,

certain neurotransmitters in the brain such as

serotonin and/or dopamine. They do so to alleviate the

symptoms of depression.

 

Many orthomolecular and naturopathic practitioners and

books extol the use of 5HTP or the amino acid

tryptophan to order to increase one's serotonin level,

and the use of the amino acids tyrosine,

phenylalanine, or both to increase the dopamine level

in the brain. They recommend this for the treatment of

depression. Certainly, these amino acids, taken along

with the necessary vitamin and mineral cofactors, do

exactly as intended, which is to increase serotonin or

dopamine in one's brain. And certainly, doing so often

substantially alleviates the symptoms of depression.

 

The substitution of antidepressants that work on the

serotonin or dopamine axis with nutrient precursors

that do the same represents " an allopathic conceptual

approach " to depression.

 

However, depression, far more often than not, is not

simply a lack of serotonin or dopamine or both. This

is true even if raising the levels of one or both of

these two key neurotransmitters often brings

substantial relief to this state of mental and

physical dysfunction.

 

Depression, far more often than not, is a broad

deficiency state across most, if not all, of the

entire neurotransmitter range... and there are about

100 known neurotransmitters. Once depression is

recognized as such, it is profoundly treatable in an

amazingly short

time.

 

Incidentally, stress is often blamed for the onset of

a depressive state. This fact skews the real truth

here. It is simply the fact that stress is very

biochemically depleting, and therefore depression is

the end result. A depressed person is just not getting

enough nutrients in which to deal effectively with

stress as a result of malabsorption, an inadequate

diet, or both. A nutrient replete person can deal with

a rather inordinate amount of stress, even if this

stress is felt on a chronic basis. However, as soon as

a person under chronic stress falls short in the

nutrient department, depression is the inevitable end

result. And despite the same stressors being present,

as soon as this same person under great stress becomes

nutrient replete again, they are no longer depressed

in any degree whatsoever. This I know for a fact as a

result of hundreds of informal self trials of inducing

and then correcting depression in myself within the

past four years, and as the result of a great deal of

research and other experience.

 

In my recovery from manic depression, I began to use

tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine in mid 1997,

with very substantial and positive mood effect. I

initially used tryptophan, taurine, and GABA daily for

brain inhibition and to assist with sleep (this regime

is very similar to what Julia Ross suggests in her

book " The Mood Cure " ). I also used the key

nutrient combination of 500 mg. of L-carnitine in the

morning and phosphatidyl choline throughout the day to

slow the spontaneous rate of neuronal firing in my

brain, an effect that was very similar to lithium. In

addition to this, to treat depression in myself I used

both tyrosine alone and/or a tyrosine/phenylalanine

combination on a fairly regular basis from May 1997

until February 2000. The use of tryptophan, tyrosine,

and phenylalanine did substantially help me to

alleviate depression in myself, and I learned a great

deal from the use of these amino acids...

 

however...

 

I later found that just increasing my serotonin and

dopamine levels, as helpful as this was to my mood and

well being for a few years or so, was a rather weak

approach to treating depression in both myself and

other persons vs. increasing the levels of all of my

neurotransmitters all at once.

 

One must realize that out of the roughly 100 known

neurotransmitters, 99 of them are amino acid based,

and the key exception here is acetylcholine. Assuming

that all of the vitamin and mineral cofactors are

present for all neurotransmitters to be produced, the

entire amino acid range, choline (or phosphatidyl

choline, it's more active form), and L-carnitine (an

often key accessory nutrient) represents precursor

loading of the entire neurotransmitter range, for all

ostensible purposes.

 

In February of 2000, I began to experiment with taking

broad based amino acids, rather than simply taking a

few individual ones to treat depression in myself.

Almost immediately, by a process of trial and error, I

found that a mixture of two readily available blends

of amino acids, along with added tryptophan,

carnitine, phosphatidyl choline, and vitamins B

complex and C, would boost me out of any degree of

depression that I was in and/or keep me out of

depression entirely if I took it in adequate quantity

often enough.

 

Specifically, the two blends of amino acids that I am

referring to here are Pure Form 20 and WAC blend from

www.jomarlabs.com. After trial and error of a number

of Jomar Laboratories blended amino acid products in

early 2000, I settled on a 50/50 mix of these two

specific blends to affect mood change in myself. These

two blends are quite reasonable in cost, reasonable

enough for most persons to be able to afford in

quantity. Pure Form 20, which is 20 different amino

acids, costs only $11.00 for 125 500mg caps, $38.60

for 500 500 mg caps, and $120.60 for 1000 grams (one

kilogram) of powder. WAC blend costs only $28.30 for

505 450mg caps. or $88.00 for 1000 grams (one

kilogram) of powder. I would commonly get a kilogram

of each blend in either powder (the powder does not

taste too good! yuck!) or capsule form and take

between 30 and 50 grams or more in total of these

blends on a daily basis (15 to 25 grams of each

blend). To these amino acid blends, I would add some

tryptophan, for which I had a prescription, and ALWAYS

add carnitine and phosphatidyl choline as well (if I

did not add choline I would get a bit of a headache if

I took too large a dosage of these two blends). I

would also always take vitamins B complex and C at the

same time, along with lots of water.

 

The effect of my using the broad based

neurotransmitter precursor approach discussed above on

my mood and well being was, and still is, absolutely

awesome!, compared to my prior approach of just using

tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine in order to

effect mood change in myself.

 

A crucial catch to my taking amino acids and other

nutrients orally in order to change my

neurotransmitter levels was that I had to be

adequately absorptive in my gut for enough nutrients

to be absorbed. Being adequately absorptive in the gut

is not always the case in a person that is depressed.

The reverse here is almost invariably true in myself,

i.e. when I have become depressed, I am seriously

malabsorptive as well. Depression and a serious degree

of malabsorption are nearly synonymous.

 

As the result of literally hundreds of informal

self-trials since late 1997, I have found that the

absorptive rate in my intestines could, and often did,

vary widely from day to day and week to week,

depending on a number of common variables (and I have

become very familiar with them all). I have found that

a serious degree of malabsorption in myself can be

rather readily corrected, once I learned what to do in

this regard.

 

To give the reader a bit better idea here, on a scale

of one to ten, I could, and often was, absorbing a

degree of " 8 " one day (good) and a degree of

" 3 " the next (poor), and vice versa. Even a single

exposure to a rather small amount of a food that I was

allergic to could substantially impair my intestinal

absorptive ability for days, assuming that I did not

recognize this and intervene. I also learned that if I

was bloated in my abdominal area any significant

degree, it meant that I was malabsorptive to some

degree... and that the more bloated I was, the more

malabsorptive I was as well. In addition, I learned

that if I was exposed to a lot of allergic food, that

I could quite easily get to the point where I could

not even absorb water well, much less almost any

nutrients at all, until this situation was resolved.

And lastly, I learned how to massively correct my

nutrient absorptive rate within a matter of hours.

 

Once I learned how to correct my nutrient absorptive

rate within a matter of hours, I could effect

absolutely profound change in my mood and well being a

handful of hours after this as well, as I could get a

high quantity of essential nutrition into my body. I

have found that it does not take the brain that long

to build a lot of neurotransmitters, once it has

adequate nutrient raw material to work with. Even four

or five hours can be extremely significant in this

regard.

 

Once I put the above concepts together, I realized

that I had gained complete and profound control of any

and all states of depression in myself, as well as I

could avoid such states entirely if I so wished to do

so. This is a fact that has been true for over three

and a half years. It is also a fact that I fully

expect will remain so for the rest of my life, as long

as I have access to the supplements discussed here

(which is sometimes not the case due to inadequate

fiscal means).

 

I can quite literally correct a state of very severe

depression with suicidal ideation in myself within a

single day. I have intentionally induced and then

corrected such a severe state of depression many

dozens of times in myself in the past five years

within the timeframe specified. I have also corrected

well over a hundred states of serious depression that

were simply not severe enough to exhibit suicidal

ideation during this same period of time as well.

These corrections of depression represent a very

profound degree of mood change within amazingly short

time. They also represent a degree of mood change that

no one else in the world is able to perform as quickly

as I can in regard to either them self or anyone else,

to the best of my knowledge. I am not stating this for

any ego need; I am stating this because it is the

truth.

 

Incidentally, for over four years I have tried to find

some party involved medical research anywhere in the

world that would take a solid look at what I am doing

to treat depression in myself to determine its

validity, and then determine how applicable what I am

doing is in regard to other bipolar persons. As a

layman, I am fully aware that my ability to bring

forth the many important truths in this document is

almost nonexistent. This entire situation is a real

shame, for in essence it may mean that a number of

truly revolutionary concepts are at a complete

standstill in regard to the most effective treatment

of a depressed state in the majority of bipolar

persons. However, it is my opinion that the seeds of

truth represented here will eventually move forward,

even if it takes decades in which to do so. These

seeds of truth are just much too valid and far too

important to be ignored forever, even if their primary

discoverer was a layperson that had a history of

mental illness.

 

A number of realizations came about as the result of

my performing the above on myself on a repetitive

basis over the past four years, as well as my

treatment of a few other persons.

 

One realization that I had, and clearly the most

important, was that the human brain is far more

protein dependent than most persons realize. Everyone

knows that their muscles need protein, but few know

that that their brain, as small as it is, probably

needs, uses, and uses up more protein that all of

their muscles put together, despite the fact that

their muscle mass is far greater than their brain

mass.

 

A second realization that I had is that it is often

very helpful conceptually to think of a state of

depression as just a protein deficient state that has

" tripped over to the point of body and brain

dysfunction " .

 

The third realization that I had is that when the

above occurs (a state of protein deficiency that has

gone too far), it is extremely common for a person to

crave " cheat fuels " such as sugar or alcohol,

rather than protein, which is what they really need.

Cheat fuels only make things worse, not better. Often,

just the simple measure of eating a large piece of

broiled fish instead of getting that box of ice cream

or that bottle of vodka when you first sink into a

state of depression represents very powerful and

effective chemical intervention. This measure is even

much more effective when a powerful digestive enzyme

such as DigestEnz is used to assist in the protein

breakdown of protein foods. EVERY depressed person

should be using such a digestive enzyme at every

single meal when they are depressed.

 

The fourth realization that I had, and one of the many

reasons for this post, was that I realized that the

common naturopathic approach of using the amino acids

of tryptophan (or 5HTP), tyrosine, and phenylalanine

to treat depression was a flawed conceptual approach

that was probably the result of copying the medical

model approach to depression (which is simply

monkeying with serotonin and dopamine levels in order

to alleviate depression, for the most part).

 

The fifth realization that I had was that I found that

other persons responded to the amino acid blends of

Pure Form 20 and WAC in dosages that were often much

different than that which I often needed. I found that

some depressed persons responded quite well to as

little as eight grams total (four grams of each blend)

of the two amino acid blends I was using, some

responded quite well to fifteen grams total of these

blends, and for some persons fifteen grams total was

way too much, etc.

 

The sixth realization that I had was that if these

amino acid blends were taken in dosages that were too

high for one's biochemistry at the moment, that they

could quite easily become hypomanic or manic on these

blends, similar to a bipolar person taking too much

tyrosine, phenylalanine, or aspartic acid at once. One

ALWAYS needs to " slowly dose up " with these blends,

being cautious to not become too manic if they are

bipolar (or even if they are " normal " ), the same as

when they are taking tyrosine or other excitatory

amino acids. Another idea that might help here is to

add some taurine to these two blends, as taurine is

almost always inhibitory, such that the resultant

mixture might be more balanced in regard to excitation

and inhibition.

 

The seventh realization that I had in taking these two

blends and the additional nutrients that I mentioned,

was that the hair on my head grew in both thicker and

faster and that the muscles on my arms and legs both

grew noticeably and became firmer, despite the fact

that I was not exercising at all. These were both

unexpected side effects, and most welcome ones.

 

Protein, in the form of free from amino acids,

enormously helps me, both physically and mentally.

Protein, in the form of steak, fish, etc. also helps

me greatly, but not nearly as much or as fast as free

form amino acids do. This appears to be true even

though I have recognized and treated a severe

deficiency of HCL (stomach acid) in myself. I need,

and I take, as many as 20 to 25 625mg. HCL capsules

when I eat a large meal, and 7 or 8 capsules of HCL

for even a single small can of tuna fish. Digestive

enzymes do help my mood and well being when I eat high

protein foods as well, due to the fact that they break

this protein down better such that it can be absorbed

into the body. However, the use of digestive enzymes

coupled with eating protein foods does not help me

nearly as much as when I am severely depressed as the

taking of amino acids as I am suggesting here does.

 

The eighth realization that I had, a realization that

came a bit later than those above, is that it is

ALWAYS wise to add fish oil and the other " good

oils " to one's regime when they taking high dosage

free form amino acids such as I am suggesting here.

Don't neglect these good oils when you are using

amino acids, and try to take some the same day. The

brain is 60% fat, and fat is clearly important to its

proper function.

 

The ninth realization that I had is that correcting

floral status in the gut is often CRUCIAL to the

correction of a state of depression. " Good

bacteria " in my gut does seem to help me

substantially when I eat high protein foods. Adequate

good gut bacteria appear to me to play a key role in

protein utilization for reasons that are unclear to me

at this time (I use the probiotic powdered Primal

Defense for this).

 

The tenth realization that I had is that the

repetitive juicing of raw organic non-allergic

vegetables ought to always be used to treat a

depressive state (and eat some of the fiber as well,

don't throw it all out). Juicing is mineralizing, it

is alkalizing, it is " gut healing " , it does not

need either digestive enzymes or HCL to help someone

tremendously (even if they are in deficient in these

secretions), and it contains a powerful array of

essential and easily absorbed nutrients.

 

The eleventh realization that I had is that

alternative medicine is close to putting together an

intervention for depression that would be so powerful

and so fast acting in enough persons that it could

revolutionize the treatment of depression worldwide in

a matter of a few short years. Unfortunately, they

just do not realize this at all yet, despite my

stating this to many persons in this movement for the

last few years. Alternative medicine did teach me most

of the puzzle pieces reflected in this material.

Alternative medicine just has not coupled these pieces

together well such that they can generate the amazing

results that I know from a great deal of experience

are possible. In my opinion, it is only a matter of

time before alternative medicine does couple these

puzzle pieces together. As a result of what I know, I

am morally obligated to do all that I can for the rest

of my life to be a catalyst in this event occurring.

 

Nothing that I have done (and I have tried much) has

done more for me both physically and mentally than

adequately correcting my gut absorptive status (within

a matter of hours) and taking the free form amino acid

blends and the necessary added nutrients that I have

mentioned here have done for me, both mood-wise and

otherwise, or is even close. These necessary added

nutrients I am speaking of here are tryptophan,

phosphatidyl choline, carnitine, EFA's, and the

entire vitamin and mineral range for the most part.

 

Quite obviously, the use of an amino acid such as

glutamine can increase one's intestinal absorptive

rate substantially. Therefore some dosage adjustment

may need to be made when preceding the use of broad

based amino acids an hour or two before with

glutamine. The use of glutamine to heal the gut and

increase absorption in a person that is depressed is

perhaps always wise trial intervention. However, the

use of glutamine, as it increases absorption, will

cause difficulties if the issue of hidden food allergy

has not been properly dealt with. Glutamine can, and

often does, result in greater absorption of food

allergens, at least temporarily.

 

Much less obvious than the above, if not quite rarely

known, is that the usage of a high dosage

bentonite/psyllium/water combination prior to taking

glutamine can " unblock " a number of common problematic

issues in the intestine within a matter of hours, and

thus allow one to substantially increase their

nutrient absorption rate as well (assuming the use of

such a combination is not contraindicated for some

reason). High dosage bentonite/psyllium/water acts as

a " gooey sticky plug " that travels down the

intestines, cleaning out a number of common

problematic issues as it does so. This " gooey sticky

plug " can, and does, very effectively remove yeast,

many " bad bugs " , undigested food, allergic food

residue, excess mucous, etc. from the gut. In the

proper dosage for one's gut size and gut status, high

dosage bentonite/psyllium/water is a gut cleansing

routine that is unparalleled, in my opinion. However,

if there is any bleeding in the stomach or intestines,

any ulceration, any serious gut abnormality, any

allergy to psyllium, any severe constipation, and/or

any stricture (see Bernard Jensen's " Tissue Cleansing

Through Bowel Management " ) in the gut, the use of such

a gut cleansing routine may be contraindicated.

 

When I take a high dose of bentonite/psyllium/water to

purge my gut, I know that I am going to need to

replace my good bacteria as well. I have found that if

I only wait 4 to 6 hours after taking a very high dose

of bentonite, etc. that I can take an unusually high

dose of a good probiotic and experience no serious die

off whatsoever, despite the fact I was high in candida

and/or bad bacteria before I took this cleansing

routine. It took me years of playing with this stuff

to really know what I needed to do here, and what

dosages, etc. worked well for me.

 

I have also found that if I waited until the next day

before I took a high dose probiotic after gut

cleansing, that I would get a pretty serious die off

reaction (I reach for high dose vitamin C on a

repetitive basis when this happens, and it helps

enormously). Apparently, candida and bad bacteria

proliferate very quickly in the gut (I once saw a

reference stating that candida can double in 20

minutes in the gut, and my feeling here is that bad

bacteria can proliferate very quickly as well).

 

The keys to do the therapy that I am suggesting here

effectively are both proper timing and proper dosage

of the substances taken, or for someone to at least be

in " the right ballpark " in these regards. However,

there is some latitude for error here, and this

latitude is sometimes quite substantial.

 

It took me quite some time to work all of the above

out in myself. This was because I was in entirely new

and uncharted territory in regard to many of the

concepts and substances used, as well as the dosages

of these substances. The effort I made here was well

worth it. I gained a profound degree of control over

depression in myself, after having regularly suffered

from both depression and severe depression for over

thirty-five years. It also appears likely to me that

what I am doing to treat depression in myself may

ultimately represent a very important breakthrough in

the understanding and treatment of depression the

world over. And yes, I am fully aware that the

aforementioned, despite it most probably being the

truth, is perhaps still a decade or two away from

being realized, if not longer. This long delay is due

in part to the fact that there is very little

motivation by the current medical model to replace

their current treatment methodology of using

anti-depressive medication to treat depression, as

well as there is a great deal of fiscal and other

motivation for them not to do so. This delay is also

due to the fact that there is not anywhere in the

world at the current time for a bipolar person “to

go be heard by medical research†if and/or when this

person discovers something of substantial importance

about his or her illness.

 

I do suggest that if you are a practitioner using

amino acids to treat depression, that you consider

using ideas similar to that which I suggest here vs.

simply just using tyrosine, phenylalanine, or a

combination of both to treat depression in a person.

In my opinion, simply suggesting tyrosine and

phenylalanine for the treatment of depression is quite

outdated, despite the fact that it is still

recommended by some persons in the alternative health

movement. However, this is a very simple approach, and

it often gives enough results to get the patient far

more interested in using amino acids and other

nutrients to correct depression. Perhaps these are its

greatest values.

 

I do suggest using great caution in the beginning in

regard to the dosages recommended, as well as getting

the patient fully involved in this issue of dosage

from day one. The lines " I can give you a great deal

of help steering you in the right direction as far as

what nutritional substances to use to effect profound

mood change in yourself, but only you can determine

the proper dosage for your biochemistry " and " dose up

slowly, monitoring the effect in yourself, being

cautious to not take too much that you become manic "

puts the burden of " what is the proper dosage? " on the

patient, where it should ALWAYS lie anyway.

 

I also cannot recommend enough that if you are using

excitatory amino acids with your patients that you

first assist them in defining an effective inhibitory

nutrient regime for themselves before using any

excitatory nutrients whatsoever. This takes a huge

amount of the risk out of the above excitatory

nutrient regime in regard to it's making someone too

manic, as an answer will already be in place for this.

This should really be a must. I refuse to teach any

person how to use excitatory nutrients until they

learn how to use inhibitory ones, ESPECIALLY if they

are bipolar.

 

In addition, I highly suggest that before any

practitioner recommends the above to other persons,

that they personally experiment with this regime

themselves. A single bottle of 500 caps each of Pure

Form 20 and WAC blend costs a total of only $66.90

plus shipping, and tryptophan, carnitine, phosphatidyl

choline and the other necessary cofactors will not

break anyone's piggy bank. This stuff will not hurt a

" normal person " , and it could teach them a great deal

about what amino acid therapy is truly all about.

 

Never forget the two most common causes of recurrent

depression in anyone. These are the issues of the

likelihood of multiple hidden food allergies and the

likelihood of intestinal dysbiosis. Usually when some

one has one of these problems, they almost always have

the other as well. These two common problematic issues

always ought to always be assessed and/or addressed in

any person that suffers from either bipolar disorder

or recurrent depression. A possible lack of digestive

enzymes and stomach acid ought to be always be

assessed and/or addressed in this population as well,

especially if the person in question is over 40 years

of age.

 

Lastly, I am not representing that a 50/50 mix of Pure

Form 20 and WAC blend from www.jomarlabs.com along

with added tryptophan is an ideal amino acid blend for

the treatment of depression or anything else. It is

simply the best and most affordable amino acid mixture

that I have found to date, without someone being

priced out of the market if they are taking this stuff

regularly in the dosages that I am suggesting here. I

am quite sure that, at some point in the future,

someone is going to develop a better, more balanced,

and perhaps equally affordable broad based amino acid

mixture for the treatment of depression than that

which I have proposed here.
