Why Depression Causes Fatigue

/0 Comments/in /by

Integrative Natural Medicine offers proven relief of anxiety and depression symptoms.

It is well established that if you have signs of depression, it is associated with elevated levels of stress hormones.  Cortisol and Adrenaline are produced by your adrenal glands for survival needs in acute stress.  In chronic stress, these hormones gradually deplete brain neurotransmitters like serotonin, and even are known to cause brain degenerative changes to the structure of the brain.

In the body, they deplete energy reserves, resulting in chronic fatigue.

When stress wears you down to the point of Depression, a proven remedy is True Mood Lift.  This is what this proven medicine contains, the names of the plants.

Albizia: In China researchers wanted to substantiate the traditional use of Albizia for anxiety and confusion.  In animal models, they induced stress through acute restraint and then tested their response to stress with the “open field and maze test.”  Open field measures the rats willingness to explore new territory.  Rats fed Albizia after acute restraint were significantly more willing to explore, and more capable to traverse a maze than the placebo fed rats.  They concluded that Albizia is significantly effective in reducing anxiety even after fearing for your life.  Wow.  Molecules. 2017 Aug 11;22(8)

Blessed Thistle: In Romania, doctors consulted historical text books and ancient healers described Blessed Thistle as increasing euphoria.   They studied the nourishment of this plant and results convinced them that it would likely have a positive impact on brain health, happiness, and memory.  And that we should really give this to humans, because it’s absolutely safe.   Pharmacogn Mag. 2015 May; 11(Suppl 1): S110–S116

Two other plants in the formulation are just as important!

Licorice: Multiple studies in China proves that Licorice improves depression.  They even reached the point of using it with patients.  This study is an inquiry into how it works so well.  They described the mechanism in words even I can’t understand, but I did understand that it decreased cortisol and adrenaline, and they concluded: Licorice improved depressive activity even under “unpredictable stress exposure.” Yao Xue Xue Bao. 2012 Dec;47 . (The article is transcribed to english if you want to try)

Lemon Balm: “The changes observed on brain scan 2 hours after ingestion of lemon balm revealed increased activation in brain centers associated with working memory and relaxation states.” Eur J Med Res. 2004 Sep 29;9(9):423-31.

Is Paxil the best Antidepressant?

St. Johns Wort: Compared side by side to Paxil, a pharmaceutical prescribed for depression, and a placebo, St. Johns Wort decreased standardized depression questionnaire scores by 70% more than Paxil.  And while both improved depression better than a placebo, St. John’s Wort showed results in a higher percentage of patients than Paxil (87 vs 60%) and remission (complete resolution) rates were higher. (71 vs 42%).  . 2007 Sep; 53(9).

Suma is known as Brazilian Ginseng because it increases strength and resilience to stress, both of which has been scientifically validated in Ginseng many times over.   It is proven to decrease inflammation, Int Immunopharmacol., the strength of red blood cells in Sickle Cell Anemia, Clin Hemorheol Microcirc., causes weakening and degeneration of hurtful breast cancer cells, Exp Toxicol Pathol., and reduced the size and number of lesions in cancer of the liver. Cancer Lett.

We use Suma in True Mood Lift for its toughness.  Research proves Suma to contain toughness, multiple times.  You can get a Mood Lift or two in our online store,

Will Depression Ever Go Away

What is Major Depression?

I was taught is that there are two types of Major Depression.  Low Noradrenalin feels lower than a snakes belly with not enough strength to get out of bed.  Low Serotonin feels like agitated sadness and crying.

That’s what both medicine and functional medicine teach.

Five elements or Natural Law teaches that every element has a unique form of depression.

Fire: No motive to move.

Earth: I’m not good enough.

Metal: Life is so heavy and cutting.

Water: So disappointing.

Wood: Everyone hurts me.

They call the brain Regulation or Governing Vessel.  That depression feels like no will to live.

Grab a bottle of True Mood Lift in our online store, and download a copy of my 16 page article, the Five Energy Needs.  True Mood Lift will give you strength and increase happiness.  The Five Energy Needs explains what to do for no motive to move and the other four elements.

It also tells you what to do if your partner doesn’t keep their word, is disrespectful or inattentive, self centered or helpless, or doesn’t appreciate you.

If you can come up with another type of depression, leave a comment below and I’ll send you a trial size for free.  To be fair, I will have to agree that it is a unique feeling, not just another name for the 13 versions I described above.

Check out this story of healing depression.  She had the crying type and her root cause was unbelievable.  Don’t believe what you have heard, there is always a root cause.

Imagine going to a mechanic with a car symptom, and they told you, “We call it car-itis.  We aren’t sure what causes it, but if you put in these earplugs, you won’t be able to hear it.  It’s getting old you know, you have to learn to live with some clunking.”  Lol.

Improve Focus, Memory Loss and Brain Fog Naturally

True Focus improved Alzheimers Disease in a clinical trial!

If I had Alzheimer’s Disease, I’d follow this protocol.  It includes True Focus, but at that stage I’d push healing more intensely.  But, it would be a smarter move to meet your needs with nourishing medicine at the first sign of memory loss.

Awhile back, I walked downstairs and couldn’t remember what I had come for!  Twice in one weekend.  I started taking True Focus after the second time, and it resolved my “memory loss.”  True Focus is nourishment for our most important organ.  Our Brain!

It improves a scattered and overwhelmed brain, distracted brain, ADD, ADHD, brain fog, and memory loss.

And yes, it even helps a diseased brain, Alzheimer’s Disease.

This research study is a double blind, placebo controlled clinical trial from India.

In doctor language, that means the most highly regarded scientific proof.  Indian doctors investigated the effects of Wild Yam and Bacopa on Alzheimers patients, compared to a placebo and Aricept, the number one pharmaceutical for Alzheimers disease.

alzheimer'sThey tested over 100 patients with Alzheimer’s Disease using a variety of memory and focus tasks, and lab tests for inflammation and oxidation, which are characteristic lab findings in Alzheimer’s disease.  They concluded: “Administration of the plant formulation for a period of 12 months resulted in a significant improvement in cognitive function, depression, and lab markers for inflammation and oxidative stress in the Alzheimers patients, when compared to placebo and Aricept.”  (1).

The significance of this study is that Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease.

Medical care focuses on slowing the progression and extending life, because nothing has offered improvement, including Aricept.  These plants created a healing trend in a hopeless disease!

True Focus also contains Gingko Biloba: “In Europe, Ginkgo Biloba is a “registered drug” for the treatment of age-related cognitive decline including memory and concentration problems.

“Clinical efficacy in cognitive decline and dementia has been confirmed by a series of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials.” (2)

Lemon Balm: “The changes observed on brain scan 2 hours after ingestion of lemon balm revealed increased activation in brain centers associated with working memory and relaxation states.”(3).

St. Johns Wort: Compared side by side to Paxil, a pharmaceutical prescribed for depression, and a placebo, St. Johns Wort decreased standardized depression questionnaire scores by 70% more than Paxil.  And while both improved depression compared to placebo, St. John’s Wort showed results in a higher percentage of patients than Paxil (87 vs 60%) and remission (complete resolution) rates were higher. (71 vs 42%).  

Plants work better than a pharmaceutical?

We’ve been so deeply convinced that nature only offers snake oil and is unscientific and probably dangerous.  “You can’t control Nature.”

No Sir, you can’t control Nature, but you can trust Her.dementia

I trust Nature more than these folks!

Click on “our online store” below to order True Focus!

If you purchase 2 bottles and you’re not impressed with the results of the first, return the second bottle unopened and I’ll refund your entire purchase.

Purchase physician grade plant medicine in our online store, and shop around because I can personally vouch for True Allergy Relief. I had horrible cat and seasonal allergies until I discovered the plants in True Allergy Relief.

Yours In Health and Happiness,

Gall Stones

/0 Comments/in /by

I Love hearing the patient perspective….

“I’d like to share my experience with Dr Todd Stone at True Health Family Wellness Center in hopes that others may experience the kind of healing treatment I did.

After the usual morning routine of dropping the kids to school and driving to work, I began to have what I call an attack.. All of a sudden I could not get a good breath, I was sweating and doubling over from pain in my chest. I began to panic. These symptoms came on suddenly and was something never before experienced. The week prior I had had a full routine physical with labs and everything g came back normal.

I somehow arrived at work and after lying down for an hour with no relief my coworkers brought me to Emergency Room of the local big hospital.They ran multiple tests and I did a lot of waiting. I was given precautionary tests… EKG and CT scan to rule out heart attack and blood clots. My vitals were erratic and I was in pain. 8 hours later and being denied food or drink all day …Doctors told me that I had Gall stones. I had had no symptoms or any clue that this was an issue for me. They sent me home and I felt like the recovery was more from what was done to me than from the actual gallstones. They told me to contact a surgeon the next day for prompt removal of my gall bladder.

(Her thoughts continue)

This felt contradictory to what I believe, that the gall bladder serves a purpose and there must be some way to heal. I felt that there must be some way to deal with this “on my own”. I did some research online and followed the recommendations, liquid diet… apple cider vinegar. blah blah. While the initial attack had subsided 4 days later I was still struggling to walk or get a good breath. I submitted and met with the surgeon. The surgery would remove the cause of my immediate discomfort but there would be side effects to living without one of my organs. In my heart I knew there must be another option.

I contacted Dr Stone as I know he practices from the perspective of healing rather than removal of symptoms, and he saw me the next day. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. He listened while I discussed my ordeal. He seemed to have an innate knowledge of what was going on and began testing me with a gentle touch. I simply relaxed while he pulled various herbs and tinctures from his shelves to gauge my body’s receptiveness to them. He educated me and showed me points on my body that I can tap/touch to stimulate my gall bladder. He provided me with a tincture and dosage instructions. We discussed the cause of the gallstones and how I can support not just the immediate issue, but the liver and other organs as well. The appointment was efficient and easy.

(How she healed her gallbladder)

I began the regimen immediately and began taking the tincture and supplements hourly. Within 48 hours I felt back to my normal self again. Coworkers began commenting how I looked “Like myself again”. As told to do, I continued with the tincture as recommended (even though I felt better) and continued to improve. I was so glad to be healing my gall bladder rather than removing it! Finally I was able to decrease my dosage and stopped taking the supplements. This was only after I felt secure and safe that the immediate issue had been resolved. In subsequent conversations with Dr Stone (who is always available when I’ve had a question about symptom ) we’ve begun to address the underlying issues. Now that the acute symptoms are relieved the work of healing the whole body, emotionally and physically can begin.”
