Depression

The document discusses several potential causes and risks associated with depression and Alzheimer's disease. It notes that depression affects over 40 million Americans and is the 4th leading cause of disability worldwide, costing over $200 billion per year. Several sections discuss research linking depression to factors like aluminum, MSG, chemical exposures, and nutritional deficiencies. The document also warns of risks associated with antidepressant medications, including increased suicidal thoughts in children and questions about their effectiveness compared to placebos.

Depression The Natural Solution
Depression Stats and Facts • 40 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder and anxiety • 6 million are elderly •4th most common disability world wide •At a cost of over $200 billon dollars a year • Depression later in life tends to last longer and be more severe than at younger ages. It is also associated with a high rate of suicide.
Causes of Alzheimer’s • Vaccinations • Rx Medications • Amalgam Dental fillings • MSG foods • Chemical exposure (hair dyes, work chemicals) • Alcohol leading to nutritional deficiencies

Fluoridated water activates dormant aluminum • fluoridated water at 1 ppm, when used in cooking in aluminum cookware, concentrated the aluminum up to 600 ppm, whereas water without fluoride did not. (Science news 131:73) • aluminum is neuro-toxic and is in abnormally high concentrations in the brain of Alzheimers and other neurological disease victims, including AIDS, that these findings raise questions about adding fluoride to the water supply of communities to reduce tooth decay.... • Because of these findings, a test was made of Antigo, Wisconsin water which has been fluoridated for 33 years. The water was examined by a certified Wisconsin laboratory, and showed that when it was used in cooking in aluminum cookware, it concentrated the aluminum by 833 times and increased the fluoride content by 100%. • The maximum allowed aluminum content of water is set by the World Health Organization at 200 micrograms per liter. This makes Antigo water, when cooked in aluminum, 75 times over the maximum

The Explosion of Childhood Bipolar Disorder • Dr. Biederman and his colleagues have promoted the aggressive diagnosis and drug treatment of childhood bipolar disorder, maintaining that it was underdiagnosed in children and is treatable with drugs. • Based on their influence, pediatric bipolar diagnoses and antipsychotic drug use in children have soared. In 2007 alone, half a million children and teenagers were given at least one prescription for an antipsycotic, including 20,500 under the age of six. • According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, about 7 percent of all children seen at psychiatric facilities fit the bipolar disorder criteria, using research standards – much of which originated from Dr. Biederman and company at Harvard.
Correcting Behavioral Problems Without Drugs • 1. Give your child omega-3 fats like krill oil, and a organic mineral supplement 2. limiting their intake of vegetable oils. 3. Avoid giving your child ANY processed foods, especially those containing artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. 4. Replace soft drinks, fruit juices, and pasteurized milk in your child’s diet with pure water. 5. Reduce or eliminate grains and sugars from your child’s diet 6. Make sure your child gets plenty of exercise and outdoor playtime in the sunshine. 7. Give your child a way to deal with his or her emotions … EFT, Meditation, EMDR, Deep Breathing
Manic Depressive Illness > Bipolar disorder
WARNING: SUICIDALITY AND ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short- term studies of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of PROZAC or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. The following symptoms, anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, and mania, have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for Major Depressive Disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric. Although a causal link between the emergence of such symptoms and either the

Although a causal link between the emergence of such symptoms and either the worsening of depression and/or the emergence of Suicidal impulses has not been established, there is concern that such symptoms may represent precursors to emerging suicidality
New research Stress is NOT the cause of Depression Old Idea: One is that stressful life events are a major cause of depression. decreased : neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. New Research: depression actually begins in the brain. Essentially, the medications have been focusing on the effect, not the cause. The researchers have evidence that quashes the long-held dogma that stress is generally a major cause of depression. The new research reveals that there is almost no overlap between stress-related genes and depression- related genes. The researchers revealed that antidepressants are not treating depression; they are treating stress. Neuroscience 2009, Chicago, IL October 17-21, 2009
Chronic brain inflammation is now the #1 source of depression •Old Idea: was that major depression was due to a deficiency in certain neurotransmitters in the brain: serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. •New Idea: We now know that inflammatory cytokines can lower serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine significantly

Antidepressant meds show little difference with Placebo This report showed that the FDA clinical trials data indicate that 82% of the drug response is due to the placebo effects and only 18% of the drug response was due to the pharmacological effects of the medication. These data raise questions about the criteria used by the FDA in approving antidepressant medications. Placebo treatment has the advantage of eliciting fewer side effects. However, the deception that is inherent in clinical administration of placebos inhibits their use. Thus, the development of nondeceptive methods of eliciting the placebo effect would be of great importance. Prevention and Treatment, Volume 5, Article 23, July 15, 2002
MSG and Depression Researchers have also discovered that most people with major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and blood plasma. This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc. Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves -- mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.

Vaccine-related brain injury Vaccines are made of two components -- the agent you wish to vaccinate against -- for example, the measles virus; and an immune system booster called an immune adjuvant. These adjuvants are composed of such things as aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and even mercury. Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single vaccine, can cause immune overactivation for as long as two years.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board-certified neurosurgeon and author of “Excitotoxins: The Taste that Kills.” MSG & Aspartame are excitotoxins = excite your brain excitatory neurotransmitter upsets the balance of the natural neural transmitters Msg / Aspartame = food industry can make food with no nutrient value and cheep to manufacture with a long shelf life that you crave MSG is an excitotoxin, which means it overexcites your cells to the point of damage or death, causing brain damage to varying degrees -- and triggering or worsening learning disabilities, ADD, Depression, Bipolar disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Lou Gehrig’s disease and more.

Link Between Elevated Brain Glutamate and Inflammation and major depression An elevation in the body‘s inflammation increases our risk of a number of inflammation-linked diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, muscle weakness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory loss and confusion. People with Alzheimer‘s and Parkinson‘s disease have even higher levels of these inflammatory cytokines -- much higher. Also vaccines made the brain cells hypersensitive to toxins so that even in concentrations that normally would do not cause harm, could wiped out most of the neurons. It is more common in the elderly to have the highest levels of inflammatory cytokines. This also explains the high incidence of Alzheimer‘s disease, which reaches incidences of 50% after age 80.
Flu Vaccines and an Expanding Vaccine Schedule for the Elderly Using lies and scare tactics to frighten the elderly into getting the shots As you age, your immune system, including that special immune system in your brain, releases significantly more inflammatory immune cytokines than when you were younger. Many elderly report that the flu shot gave them the flu. In truth, what these people are reporting is a prolonged, intense "sickness behavior" response to the vaccine. To the body, it is worse than getting the flu.
The Shocking Truth In fact, vaccination, especially multiple vaccinations, will maintain the brain in a state of inflammation that will be self-perpetuating, because the excess release of glutamate in the brain, as well as glutamate in the diet, … cause excitotoxicity. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer‘s disease or Parkinson‘s disease will be at a drastically increased risk . The incidence of neurodegenerative disease are increasing at a frightening rate. Experts have no explanation. Over the last three decades the number of elderly receiving yearly flu vaccines has risen from 20% before 1980 to over 60% today. Dr. Russell Blaylock M.D. Neurosurgen

Exercise Better Than Drugs For Researchers found that walking for 30 minutes each day quickly improved the patients' symptoms -- faster, in fact, than antidepressant drugs typically do. The results indicate that, in selected patients with major depression, aerobic training can produce a substantial improvement in symptoms in a short time. In one study that compared exercise with antidepressants among older adults, investigators found that physical activity was the more effective depression-fighter.

Depression: The prescription rate more than tripled in the US from the early 90’s to 2001. In 2002, an estimated 10.8 million prescriptions for the most widely used antidepressants were dispensed to patients under 18 year old, according to an FDA analysis.

So What Should Older People Do? *First, studies have shown that the primary cause of immune deficiency in the elderly is purely dietary. The carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, canthaxanthin, lutein and lycopene significantly enhance the immunity of the elderly. *Zinc, magnesium and selenium are also essential. *Avoid omega-6 oils (the vegetable oils: corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, soybean and peanut oils), since they greatly enhance inflammation and depress immunity. *Increase fish oils (omega-3 oils) *Regular exercise, such as brisk walking or weight exercises three to five times a week also boost immunity *Sugar and refined carbohydrates also suppress immunity and inflame the brain. *Adequate sleep is also vital to both brain health and good immune function.
Although antidepressant medication is widely regarded as effective, a recent meta-analysis of published clinical trials indicates that 75 percent of the response to antidepressants is duplicated by placebo. The report analyses the data submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of recent antidepressant medications. We analyzed the efficacy data submitted to the FDA for the six most widely prescribed antidepressants approved between 1987 and 1999: Prozac Paxi Zoloft Effexor Serzone and Celexa. Results are reported from all well controlled efficacy trials of the use of these medications for the treatment of depression. FDA medical and statistical reviewers had access to the raw data and evaluated the trials independently. The findings of the primary medical and statistical reviewers were verified by at least one other reviewer, and the analysis was also assessed by an independent advisory panel.
Test Pilots Wanted: 85-90% of Drugs Used on Children, are Not Approved For Children.” April 10, 2001 Volume 37 Issue 14, Medical Post
You are innately genetically programmed for health!
Conclusion Current recommendations by the CDC for adult vaccinations include a total of 14 separate inoculations with infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants. To be fair, some of these are for special medical risks and conditions, such as high-risk behaviors, illegal drug use and HIV infected individuals. If we eliminate these, women will be exposed to 10 inoculations and men 7, should they follow CDC guidelines, which doctors follow. According to CDC recommendations, multiple vaccinations for a single disease are separated by no more than 4 weeks, which is close enough together to produce priming and subsequent hyperactivation of brain microglia. We have seen that this can trigger a smoldering process of brain inflammation and excitotoxicity that can not only result in depression, anxiety and high suicide rates, but can increase one‘s risk of developing one of the neurodegenerative diseases as well. We have also seen that in many cases a person will be injected with several vaccines during a single office visit and that this means their body is exposed to a very large dose of immune adjuvant. Compelling studies, using many animal species as well as humans, have shown that this overactivates brain inflammatory mechanism that can last for years. In addition, several additives to vaccines, such as mercury and aluminum, are powerful brain toxins that are known to accumulate in the brain over years and can trigger brain inflammatory/excitotoxic mechanisms. Vaccine contaminants, such as bacteria, mycoplasma and viral fragments can also produce prolonged brain inflammation and neurodegeneration. Because the elderly already have high levels of inflammatory cytokines, they are at a special risk. The very young (babies and small children) are at a high risk because their brains are undergoing the most rapid development at the very time they receive the greatest number of vaccinations -- the first two years of life. In fact, they receive 22 vaccines during the first year of life, one of which contains a full pediatric dose of mercury. Like adults, they receive many inoculations (up to 9 inoculations) in one office visit. This is insane and in my estimation, criminal. Nasal flu vaccines are even worse, because they introduce a live virus into the nasal passages, which can then travel along the olfactory nerves, which leads to the very part of the brain first and most severely affected by Alzheimer‘s disease. A number of studies have shown that viruses and bacteria can pass along this route to the brain. In fact, in one study scientists sprayed a bacterium into the nose of mice and observed a rapid development of Alzheimer‘s type plaques in the mouse‘s brain.

    Fluoridated water activatesdormant aluminum • fluoridated water at 1 ppm, when used in cooking in aluminum cookware, concentrated the aluminum up to 600 ppm, whereas water without fluoride did not. (Science news 131:73) • aluminum is neuro-toxic and is in abnormally high concentrations in the brain of Alzheimers and other neurological disease victims, including AIDS, that these findings raise questions about adding fluoride to the water supply of communities to reduce tooth decay.... • Because of these findings, a test was made of Antigo, Wisconsin water which has been fluoridated for 33 years. The water was examined by a certified Wisconsin laboratory, and showed that when it was used in cooking in aluminum cookware, it concentrated the aluminum by 833 times and increased the fluoride content by 100%. • The maximum allowed aluminum content of water is set by the World Health Organization at 200 micrograms per liter. This makes Antigo water, when cooked in aluminum, 75 times over the maximum

    The Explosion ofChildhood Bipolar Disorder • Dr. Biederman and his colleagues have promoted the aggressive diagnosis and drug treatment of childhood bipolar disorder, maintaining that it was underdiagnosed in children and is treatable with drugs. • Based on their influence, pediatric bipolar diagnoses and antipsychotic drug use in children have soared. In 2007 alone, half a million children and teenagers were given at least one prescription for an antipsycotic, including 20,500 under the age of six. • According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, about 7 percent of all children seen at psychiatric facilities fit the bipolar disorder criteria, using research standards – much of which originated from Dr. Biederman and company at Harvard.

    WARNING: SUICIDALITY AND ANTIDEPRESSANTDRUGS Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short- term studies of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of PROZAC or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. The following symptoms, anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, aggressiveness, impulsivity, akathisia (psychomotor restlessness), hypomania, and mania, have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for Major Depressive Disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric.

    New research Stressis NOT the cause of Depression Old Idea: One is that stressful life events are a major cause of depression. decreased : neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. New Research: depression actually begins in the brain. Essentially, the medications have been focusing on the effect, not the cause. The researchers have evidence that quashes the long-held dogma that stress is generally a major cause of depression. The new research reveals that there is almost no overlap between stress-related genes and depression- related genes. The researchers revealed that antidepressants are not treating depression; they are treating stress. Neuroscience 2009, Chicago, IL October 17-21, 2009

    Antidepressant meds showlittle difference with Placebo This report showed that the FDA clinical trials data indicate that 82% of the drug response is due to the placebo effects and only 18% of the drug response was due to the pharmacological effects of the medication. These data raise questions about the criteria used by the FDA in approving antidepressant medications. Placebo treatment has the advantage of eliciting fewer side effects. However, the deception that is inherent in clinical administration of placebos inhibits their use. Thus, the development of nondeceptive methods of eliciting the placebo effect would be of great importance. Prevention and Treatment, Volume 5, Article 23, July 15, 2002

    MSG and Depression Researchershave also discovered that most people with major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and blood plasma. This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc. Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves -- mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.

    Vaccine-related brain injury Vaccinesare made of two components -- the agent you wish to vaccinate against -- for example, the measles virus; and an immune system booster called an immune adjuvant. These adjuvants are composed of such things as aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and even mercury. Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single vaccine, can cause immune overactivation for as long as two years.

    Link Between ElevatedBrain Glutamate and Inflammation and major depression An elevation in the body‘s inflammation increases our risk of a number of inflammation-linked diseases, such as cancer, arthritis, muscle weakness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, memory loss and confusion. People with Alzheimer‘s and Parkinson‘s disease have even higher levels of these inflammatory cytokines -- much higher. Also vaccines made the brain cells hypersensitive to toxins so that even in concentrations that normally would do not cause harm, could wiped out most of the neurons. It is more common in the elderly to have the highest levels of inflammatory cytokines. This also explains the high incidence of Alzheimer‘s disease, which reaches incidences of 50% after age 80.

    Flu Vaccines andan Expanding Vaccine Schedule for the Elderly Using lies and scare tactics to frighten the elderly into getting the shots As you age, your immune system, including that special immune system in your brain, releases significantly more inflammatory immune cytokines than when you were younger. Many elderly report that the flu shot gave them the flu. In truth, what these people are reporting is a prolonged, intense "sickness behavior" response to the vaccine. To the body, it is worse than getting the flu.

    The Shocking Truth Infact, vaccination, especially multiple vaccinations, will maintain the brain in a state of inflammation that will be self-perpetuating, because the excess release of glutamate in the brain, as well as glutamate in the diet, … cause excitotoxicity. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer‘s disease or Parkinson‘s disease will be at a drastically increased risk . The incidence of neurodegenerative disease are increasing at a frightening rate. Experts have no explanation. Over the last three decades the number of elderly receiving yearly flu vaccines has risen from 20% before 1980 to over 60% today. Dr. Russell Blaylock M.D. Neurosurgen

    Exercise Better ThanDrugs For Researchers found that walking for 30 minutes each day quickly improved the patients' symptoms -- faster, in fact, than antidepressant drugs typically do. The results indicate that, in selected patients with major depression, aerobic training can produce a substantial improvement in symptoms in a short time. In one study that compared exercise with antidepressants among older adults, investigators found that physical activity was the more effective depression-fighter.

    So What ShouldOlder People Do? *First, studies have shown that the primary cause of immune deficiency in the elderly is purely dietary. The carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, canthaxanthin, lutein and lycopene significantly enhance the immunity of the elderly. *Zinc, magnesium and selenium are also essential. *Avoid omega-6 oils (the vegetable oils: corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, soybean and peanut oils), since they greatly enhance inflammation and depress immunity. *Increase fish oils (omega-3 oils) *Regular exercise, such as brisk walking or weight exercises three to five times a week also boost immunity *Sugar and refined carbohydrates also suppress immunity and inflame the brain. *Adequate sleep is also vital to both brain health and good immune function.

    Although antidepressant medicationis widely regarded as effective, a recent meta-analysis of published clinical trials indicates that 75 percent of the response to antidepressants is duplicated by placebo. The report analyses the data submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval of recent antidepressant medications. We analyzed the efficacy data submitted to the FDA for the six most widely prescribed antidepressants approved between 1987 and 1999: Prozac Paxi Zoloft Effexor Serzone and Celexa. Results are reported from all well controlled efficacy trials of the use of these medications for the treatment of depression. FDA medical and statistical reviewers had access to the raw data and evaluated the trials independently. The findings of the primary medical and statistical reviewers were verified by at least one other reviewer, and the analysis was also assessed by an independent advisory panel.

    Conclusion Current recommendations bythe CDC for adult vaccinations include a total of 14 separate inoculations with infectious agents and powerful immune adjuvants. To be fair, some of these are for special medical risks and conditions, such as high-risk behaviors, illegal drug use and HIV infected individuals. If we eliminate these, women will be exposed to 10 inoculations and men 7, should they follow CDC guidelines, which doctors follow. According to CDC recommendations, multiple vaccinations for a single disease are separated by no more than 4 weeks, which is close enough together to produce priming and subsequent hyperactivation of brain microglia. We have seen that this can trigger a smoldering process of brain inflammation and excitotoxicity that can not only result in depression, anxiety and high suicide rates, but can increase one‘s risk of developing one of the neurodegenerative diseases as well. We have also seen that in many cases a person will be injected with several vaccines during a single office visit and that this means their body is exposed to a very large dose of immune adjuvant. Compelling studies, using many animal species as well as humans, have shown that this overactivates brain inflammatory mechanism that can last for years. In addition, several additives to vaccines, such as mercury and aluminum, are powerful brain toxins that are known to accumulate in the brain over years and can trigger brain inflammatory/excitotoxic mechanisms. Vaccine contaminants, such as bacteria, mycoplasma and viral fragments can also produce prolonged brain inflammation and neurodegeneration. Because the elderly already have high levels of inflammatory cytokines, they are at a special risk. The very young (babies and small children) are at a high risk because their brains are undergoing the most rapid development at the very time they receive the greatest number of vaccinations -- the first two years of life. In fact, they receive 22 vaccines during the first year of life, one of which contains a full pediatric dose of mercury. Like adults, they receive many inoculations (up to 9 inoculations) in one office visit. This is insane and in my estimation, criminal. Nasal flu vaccines are even worse, because they introduce a live virus into the nasal passages, which can then travel along the olfactory nerves, which leads to the very part of the brain first and most severely affected by Alzheimer‘s disease. A number of studies have shown that viruses and bacteria can pass along this route to the brain. In fact, in one study scientists sprayed a bacterium into the nose of mice and observed a rapid development of Alzheimer‘s type plaques in the mouse‘s brain.
