I can understand one part of your frustration very well,which is this.
People told me i was using so much "drugs" so i bought holistic books,and seen one of those natural docs who charge 150 an hour,cant remember the name of the type but like p docs she shroned a diploma of some sort on her wall.
So from books,the net articles,this expensive doc,etc,my shevles become a stock pile of herbs nutrients and vitamins minerals of all kinds.
I was so obsessed with it i lost track of reality around me,dosing trypohan,and this and that,and looking back,i did nothing for me but empty my pockets.
Here are a few things to note about natural remedies,yess they can help,they can do so alone,or as im a fan of in conjunction with meds,however it is not recomended or ideal to do what they call MEGA DOSE on most natural stuff.
Amino acids for example are popular for that,taking 1 -3 grams of dlpa or the like,see the body is very strong,and it will find what it needs,also the RDA is not very high.So taking what u should have and dosing it three fold is no longer NATURAL is it?? Safer perhaps in toxic means,but natural?You cause imbalances when you do this that can be quite agitating.
Last tests are done yess,and i have articles done that were hard to find showing the fluid of depressed vs non depressed to have many MANY imbalances,HOWEVER it was believed this merly showed a end result of depression.The body reacts off the mind,and simply shuts down a bit,so a good diet and minor supplementation might help to a degree,they are however not some magic soulution,i pray im alive when this solution does come.
You have people understandbly so dismayed to take "drugs" that they will do anything,and the websites use this fear of DRUGS to hook line and sinker them.......i.e get off drugs now! use this blend of total crap,where we threw togther some nautral and very low grade herbs and nutrients and slapped a fancy name and sticker to it,it is not a drug.Perhaps not but before u buy some insane remedy look at the ingreients and youll see how this MAGIC product breaks down ingredient wise to trace amounts of various every herbs and nutrients,a good diet,best u can anyway,water,fun choice of excersise will replace the need for that,however i have lifted weights and been into working out since the age of 16,im a pretty big boy now muscle wise and i got sick at 19,i actualy take my meds away from working out as the adrenaline outpour for me is anxiety provoking,but poing is althoug its helpful to be strong when my body is beat up from the illness,strentgh or fitness hasent been any form of cure.
Good luck lets keep people from getting over on us .
