RE: Depression- Q.E.D.

[Guest guest]

All,

 

All since 25 April when this thread of " Depression " started, there has not

been one member reporting that raw food has not contributed to lifting

depression. There have been a score and more of responses from people who

have experienced depression but who report that the raw diet and exercise

outclass all the combinations of drugs possible. There are of course some

vicious forms of mental illness that can be considered as depression which

may not have manifested themselves in this forum of some 1000 members.

 

For me the extrapolation or thesis is that a non raw diet can lead to

depression whereas 100% raw people do not suffer depression even if they

have previously suffered depression whilst not on the raw diet. Put more

simply more simply a raw diet cures depression. It now falls to the

depression profession and industry to attack this assertion as unsound!

Hi, Peter and Atul.

I wholeheartedly concur, Peter.

Until I started the Raw Food diet last September, we ate pasta probably 5-6

nights a week, and rice or rye the rest of the time. I didn't use dairy,

except for my weekly fix of ice cream. And I was locked in a depression

that was only controlled artificially (St Johns wort and massive doses of

Vitamin B).

 

Now that I am eating only Raw fruits and vegetables, I feel light and happy.

Not artificially happy, but totally content with life, even through all the

stresses and bumps that occur. And all the cravings for pasta, bread and ice

cream have gone.

 

It is SO worth it! Life is worth living again!

 

Carol

Atul,

 

Being vegetarian with grain and dairy does not pass many tests on being

healthy. The key to improving your situation is almost certainly the

removal

of those items. If however they have gone, along with all cooking, I

would

be fascinated to hear as encountering a long term raw foodist who is

depressive would be new for me.

 

At first sight, ridding the body of addictive grain and dairy, seems a

tough

order. However after you have been two weeks without them, you will be

unlikely to want to return to them and the depression, I suspect will be

gone.
