Young girl with depression

[Guest guest]

A few years back, when I was struggling with severe depression, a

friend suggested I read the book " Beyond Prozac. " Can't remember the

author's name at the moment, but he is also an M.D. (heh... don't hold

that against him).

Among other things he mentions in his book is that the combination of

fish oil and primrose oil (or borage oil) will help depression. It's

not " happy juice, " but it helped me and might help others.

Barry Sears ( " Zone " author) mentions in his book, " The Omega Rx Zone, "

much the same thing. He's advocating the use of high-dose,

pharmaceutical-grade fish oil (which he also sells), which has helped

people with all sorts of problems... infertility, Alzheimer's, heart

problems, depression, etc.

The Weston A. Price people also advocate the use of cod-liver oil

combined with high-vitamin butter oil; I am using the cod-liver oil

and hope to buy the other stuff soon (it's expensive but you use small

doses).

I know it's been fashionable for decades to attempt a nearly fat-free

diet, but it really doesn't seem to actually a healthy thing to do.
