Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Does anyone have any information about the relationship between food sensitivities, depression, and enzymes? I am wondering if depression can be successfully dealt with using supplements and enzymes rather than medication. My brother has gone off his meds because he's unhappy at being fat, lazy, and passive (his words). He thinks he's lost his " edge " and it's hurting him at work. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 " The Brain Chemistry Diet, " by Lessor MD is a good place to begin. Use his bibliography for more research. Also, " Is This Your Child, " by Doris Rapp MD. She's got a bib. full of next research steps, too. Google Bill Walsh's name, and here's some help: http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/articles/article-pffeiffer.htm http://216.239.37.104/search? q=cache:sNZrnVbepu0J:www.hriptc.org/latitudes.pdf+lithium+involved+in +metallothionein+production & hl=en & ie=UTF-8 > Does anyone have any information about the relationship between food > sensitivities, depression, and enzymes?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I would also take a look at yeast or bacteria overgrowth. For my 8 yr old NT daughter, her overgrowth problems and leaky gut manifested it's self mostly in behavioral/emotional problems. Our DAN doctor was explaining that this is caused by the body's break down/overload of adrenal function trying to fight off all the problems on the inside, which explains who much of her actions do seem to be anxiety related. Just think how punchy and sensitive we felt (or feel if you are in it) during sleep deprivation mode with a newborn or something. Depression and anxiety most often run hand in hand. I'd put money on the fact that these girls with anorexia who REALLY do think they are fat are seriously suffering from yeast problems and anxiety disorders messing with their brains. I even have a friend who swears she can stay off of meds by taking flax seed oil daily. Please also let your brother realize no matter how unaddicting the SSRI's claim to be, your body does go through quite an adjustment getting off of them. And they recommend not going cold turkey, but tapering off for a smoother transition. If he is going to give it a real try, he has to cover his bases in regards to eating/drinking well; supplementing. Putting myself on this program along with my daughter after realizing I too have a yeast overgrowth, I mentally feel way more together than before. Used to need my glass of wine after a stressful day, now I don't even think about it-never would have thought that would happen. Good luck, Kari Enzymes and depression?
