"Depression & Anxiety, It's All Healable" (my made-up title)
Just like any other illness or disease, depression and anxiety are no different. The same criteria that lead to cancer, heart disease, acid reflux, for the most part, lead to the mind problems. Lorraine Day, after being depression and anxiety free for most of her life, in her sixties was hit with a hard bout of each. In the process, she found many of the causes and cures, and today is once again healthy and young, back in her thirties; well that's what she looks like. If you don't know who Lorraine Day is, she used to be the head surgeon at the San Francisco General Hospital, among many other things for 20 years. She was dying of breast cancer and was totally healed of the cancer, and every thing that went with it through diet and other alternative means. She, a medical doctor all her life, can be found on TV, radio, and in health stores all over at least America, if not the world. She is basically on the Hallelujah Diet, like Dorothy and me, and like us has been on barley grass and fiber all these years. Here is some of what she says on depression and anxiety. Causes: SUGAR. We're talking about the processed, refined sugar for the most part. These are some of the bad things about sugar. Most Americans eat about 125 lbs a year. It is a non-food. There is no nutrition in it. In fact, it robs the body of nutrients, such as vitamin C and B complex vitamins. You don't want to hear the side effects of lacking B complex vitamins. Sugar causes imbalances in the brain and body. Too much refined sugar leads to Hypoglycemia. That's a bad one to have. I know this all sounds bad, but remember it can all be reversed. Yes it can. Amen!! Anti-Depressant drugs, like Prozac actually cause depression. Well, that is one of the side effects. After the list of Horror-Movie side effects she listed on the video of anti-depressant drugs, if you're on them, the goal needs to be weaning off them slowly but as quick as possible. Caffeine has a list of side effects of its own. Caffeine is not food. I'm sorry. I know how it feels. I drank my coffee and ate my chocolate till I was 44. I know some of you are saying, "Mark, Rest in Peace". But you don't understand, I discovered carob and carrot juice. Please, I don't want to hear what you coffee, fudge and chocolate people are thinking right now. I really did get over it. Ha-Ha Anyway, side effects of caffeine include insomnia. That's when you lay there and lay there and lay there and your eyes will just not close. I relate to that. Caffeine also causes anxiety, depression, and dehydrates the body. It also gives you bad headaches, and contrary to "Touched by an Angel", I don't think angels drink coffee. Like I said, caffeine causes dehydration. Do you want to know what dehydration causes (It's a domino effect Ladies and Gentlemen)? One of the answers is STRESS. Bad Stress. OK! Enough of the causes or the bad news. Now let's go to the good. CURES: WATER! Lots of it. Preferably distilled. At least (10) 8oz glasses of pure water a day. Dr. Day says this is really big when it comes to depression. Our body & brain need lots and lots of water. Actually try it, 10 or more glasses a day and see the difference for yourself. If I down about 24 oz of water in an hour, I notice an amazing difference. I know this is a tough one for many, but Lorraine says watch the animal meat and dairy! Mainly because it is full of added hormones, anti-biotics, pesticides, and a whole list of junk which I can’t remember right now because the list was so long. Exercise & Fresh Air! We all know what that is. Don't watch the news! It's too full of half-truths anyway. Forgive! Don't hold grudges. Don't live an angry life. It isn't just depression, this stuff will take you to the grave quickly. And forgive yourself. No Guilt. Jesus' Blood even forgives the worst of us. NO LOUD STUFF! Like wild music. She said there was a study done with mice. Over a period of 10 hours, one group listened to classical music and another group listened to hard rock. After the 10 hours, the group listening to the hard rock was so violent; they were actually killing each other. The group listening to the classical did good. Pray & Meditate! with our Maker. This brings peace and hope.
Well, this was just a touch in my own words of what Dr. Day had to say.
