Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 bow -- i'm not sure that the conclusion you've drawn by those statements tom made are the conclusions that most people have drawn. we know that there is no chemical imbalance responsible for the conditions that are profit-driven. mental illness is a SYMPTOM not a disease in and of itself. and yes psychiatry is pure quackery and junk science. do some people exhibit symptoms of mental illness? of course they do, but those symptoms are not caused by that ubiquitous chemical imbalance that cannot be measured or quantified. in nearly all cases of mental illness the cause is severe nutritional deficiencies.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Hi Bee, I hope you don't mind answering this question, it is a bit unrelated. **Do you know what would 'cause' mental illness? Would it be the same 4 reasons as what causes physical illness?** A friend of mine claims he developed Bipolar after smoking cannabis one time. But his mother died of stomach cancer (and many other cancers) not long ago, his father's family is riddled with prostate cancer and they all suffer from allergies (obviously candida). I have suffered with depression in the past (mostly because of circumstances) but lately I've been feeling disconnected and sensitive. I keep emotionally attaching myself to people when I know the relationship won't work. **Do you recommend therapy in some cases?** I'm feeling anxious and then worrying about feeling anxious! lol! **Is there a herb I can take? St 's wort?** I'm taking all my supplements (minus CLO) and do the things you recommend for depression on your website. I'm sorry but I had to discontinue the CLO because of extreme bone pain and pain around my heart. I just couldn't deal with it, my chest bones were sooo sore to touch. I checked the bottle, it's an Australian brand, i worked out all the ratios perfectly.. The pain went away after I stopped it. I am giving it a month to let my body get rid of excess vit D before commencing it again in small doses to begin with. I should mention that my doctor put me on Vit D3 drops because apparently I had low levels of D. But this was about 5 months ago, so it's probably not significant? I have also started meditating every day and going for morning walks in the sunshine. I also do some yoga every day. Thanks so much, Natalia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental illness can be caused by the same 4 reasons as physical illness, however our minds can be reactive as well which is also a factor. Orthomolecular medicine has taken a stand for over 60 years that there is no such thing as schizophrenia, instead it is a lack of or imbalanced nutrition and toxins. They have been successfully treating it with supplements, etc. > A friend of mine claims he developed Bipolar after smoking cannabis one time.

I keep emotionally attaching myself to people when I know the relationship won't work. **Do you recommend therapy in some cases?** +++My program is about nutrition, so I wouldn't recommend therapy, particularly psychiatric drugs and therapy. Dr. Price proved that proper nutrition improves mental and emotional health. > I'm feeling anxious and then worrying about feeling anxious! lol! **Is there a herb I can take? St 's wort?** +++Just do deep breathing exercises, and stick to this program. > > I'm taking all my supplements (minus CLO) and do the things you recommend for depression on your website. > I'm sorry but I had to discontinue the CLO because of extreme bone pain and pain around my heart.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Bee, Thank you for making that clear, you've been a real help. I guess nowadays people will use any excuse as to why they developed mental illness. It's also good to know I won't have to fork out money for a psych visit It is funny because I was feeling particularly anxious this morning when I posted that, and now I am feeling much better after a nice slab of liver. I will try the CLO in a few days, that way it would have been a month since having too higher levels of Vit D and I would have hopefully gotten rid of the excess. I've realised I wasn't taking an extra Vit A capsule, so maybe that will help. I will let you know how it goes! Thanks again, Natalia > > > > Hi Bee, > > > > I hope you don't mind answering this question, it is a bit unrelated. **Do you know what would 'cause' mental illness?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Hi Natalia, I know Bee answered you about " therapy " already but I just wanted to chime in.... Sometimes it IS helpful to speak to a therapist. A " therapist " doesn't have to be a psychiatrist who will automatically prescribe drugs. There are licensed Therapists or maybe a pastor who can listen and give you alternative ways to view your behaviors and thoughts that will help you deal with destructive patterns. I talked with a very helpful therapist when I was going through a divorce. I needed assistance with the emotional upheaval it caused. I was also depressed at the time but there was no mention of needing drugs to get through it. Talking to someone trained to help was extremely beneficial for me. I'm a yoga instructor and I can tell you that yoga will help you. The breathing and meditation will be very good for you but don't overdo the asana (poses) portion of the practice. Too much " exercise " or movement can mobilize toxins and make healing reactions stronger. You want to keep as much of your energy as possible available for healing. ) Jackie (group moderator) > I have suffered with depression in the past (mostly because of circumstances) but lately I've been feeling disconnected and sensitive.
