I went from suicidal to practically normal. i overcome something your going through right now. i think i can offer a completely refreshing approach if you at least read my story. You’ll see a chance to return to normal is possible. about a year ago i was just like you. at the end of my ropes trying all different medication's in the hope that it will return me to some kind of normal behaviour. none worked and sick of trying them i tried a great many medications by the way. i learnt that parnate or Nardil seemed to be the most effective and the most powerful of the lot. i tried to get my hands on it but no doctor would prescribe it for me. My only hope crushed and i was stuck with no hope in hell and my only thought's were was that i was ready to end my life.
i was so depressed and unable to function. unable to have any kind of relationship with anyone because my social phobia had disabled me to the point i didn’t even feel comfortable around my own family, my own mum.
my wife tried for many years to help me get through it only to give up on our 7yr together. she had had enough of my disease. i lost her and she was my best friend. social phobia had destroyed my life. no friends no nothing just hardcore major depression.
13 years of disease and the medical industry had failed me in every which way possible to help. my memory was so crap i would forget everything. i couldn’t even tell a story properly my concentration was limited, and i was only 30.
it was then that i gave up on anything that doctors offered to treat this horrible and serious situation i had suffered since i was 17. for 13 yrs all my shrinks and doctors ever had to treat me with was CBT, medication and relaxation therapies which were pathetic against this tough disease. some doctors would say "we cant cure you but we can teach you to learn to live with the disease" forget that i wanted death.
IT was then i turned to alternative medicine. i always thought of this as stupid but i had no other choice. I was ready to end my life. i found a clinic that had doctors who were practising natural medicines as well as conventional. it was here that i learnt that alot of mental illness was caused by a physical dysfunction. Things in the body that fail which in turn cause the brain to work inefficiently. Things like your hormones which become out of balance And cause introversion and anxiety. Your gut liver and bowel need to be running perfect to be able to absorb nutrients from your food so your body can make proper use of it. If it ant extracting your amino acids then you ant going to have enough to make Neuro transmitters. For your brain. There’s is a lot more to it but that’s just the beginning.
What these doctors did for me was something that has completely transformed my life. I have my memory back. My concentration is back to normal. My confidents is almost as it was when I was 17. My memory is working. I can make conversation with people which I haven’t been able to do for so long. Its really really is becoming a life that’s worth living. I feel comfortable when I go shopping, I say things to the check out chicks where before I could never. Normally I would stand there and be very anxious. Now im carm. I smile and laugh and it ant fake anymore things are truly funny. My niece is making me laugh when before I showed no interest.
The doctors ran blood test and they took a fair bit of blood. They tested for everything. Also They also did a “complete digestive stool analysis“. Its not your regular stool test its special and its only known by these kinds of doc’s. they ran a “functional lever detoxification profile” only known to these doctors. These things are important for a normal life. You must have regular bowel movements and a strong working liver or you’ll feel like crap. also an “Organixs urine acid test” which checked for exact vitamin minerals amino acid and gut disbiosis.
Guess what they found. I had a low thyroid gland. They found I had gut disbiosis and that I was intolerant to foods that had gluten and my constant diariea I never linked to my depression. My liver also wasn’t detoxifying very efficiently anymore probably due to my getting pissed frequently. My liver was pumping out “glutathione” below that of a normal person. Leaving my body and brain free to be damaged by oxidative stress. They then finally tested me using the peiffer treatment protocol.
Treatment! I was to follow a gluten free diet. straight away they started me on thyroxine. A medication which is natural to the body and has no side effects. It completely make‘s you better and made my abnormal thinking go away. that’s if you have an under active thyroid. Thyroxine takes about 4 months to really start to work properly because it’s a hormone. They gave me a strong detox to restore both my gut/bowel and liver function and after that I could sh*t really nicely formed stools. I had never link diahriea to depression before. When I get pissed now I recover very quickly. Up by 9 or ten fairly refreshed when before I would sleep in till about 4 or 5 in the arvo. And I’d still feel like sh*t. That took 12 weeks. They gave me a multi vitamins designed for my only exact needs. Only the vitamins I was deficient in was given. now my energy was increasing and I began to feel like a race horse. I was running everywhere. I started jogging to burn off my extra energy which they encourage the exercise anyway. Then finally the pheiffer treatment protocol which has taken a lot of the remaining depression away.
Results speak for themselves wouldn’t you say. I’m no longer depressed I have a will to live now. My social phobia is forgotten about. I don’t think of that anymore and I doubt I ever really had a shy problem. Who could be social under so much stress and sickness. So I don’t think social phobia was a real disease just the result of feeling so unwell. Half of these stupid diseases I reckon are made up we just feel so crap we start to form weird behaviours. Like I said I get pissed now and im a machine the next day. Haha. Also I don’t get depressed. There ant any need to be anymore. um my energy is higher than its ever been more so than when I was a kid. I like running and its part of me now. Never done that before. My thinking is very much clearer and my brain fog is almost gone. The doctors say my head has been shaken up by all the meds and stress and that it could take a full year before I fully recover. But im excited I must admit. Im learning that helps of disease is preventable and reversible. Guys this is my story and I would love to share as much of it with you. I hope it helps you all. Like to know more just ask.
Doctors like this are scatted around all over you just got to find them. The internet is the best for this. Go to the “alternativementalhealth” website and there they have list of practitioner who do this kind of stuff. If no luck then try the “acnem” web site and do a practitioner search there under refferals. Or go to the pheiffer treatment centre read about what they do. If you like we could get online and chat sometime may be on msn. Chow.
P.S. NOW THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IVE POSTED MY STORY. i really think its important.
