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.

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.”

Disabling Foot Pain Caused by Lyme Disease

/4 Comments/in /by

One ordinary day, a man wakes up to face the journey of healing Lyme Disease.

Imagine that, yesterday you can live life, but this morning you can’t even stand up.  Your wife has already gone to work, so you crawl to get your clothes.  You crawl to the car, and then into the nearest Medical Emergency Room. 
The doctor’s diagnoses a lack of Prednisone in your foot and ankle, the primary pain that caused his disability.  Doctor cares for the pain with an injection and sends you home.
They do that for football players because there is nothing more important than scoring touchdowns. They suppress the pain of an injury, so you can get back in the game.  
This guy wasn’t scoring touchdowns, but they sent him back in the game of life unable to protect his injury.  
The suppression wore off quickly, so he calls the specialist.  The specialist diagnoses reactive arthritis which is defined medically as joint pain caused by an infection in the intestines, kidney or bladder.  The specialist prescribes methotrexate.  A drug that blocks DNA synthesis, aka. cellular repair and healing.  It is used with autoimmune diseases and cancer to suppress the immune system and rapidly expanding tumors. 
I honestly don’t understand the logic.  That effect seems contraindicated for resolving an infection or healing an injury.  Well, my logic feels that it’s  contraindicated to living, but I see things differently than most.    
Suppression did relieve his pain.  Until his doctor said, “This is a pretty harsh medicine.  Now that your pain is resolved, we should wean you off.”   Unfortunately, he found out that suppression only hides the pain.  

Disappointed, he drives to John Hopkins Medical Center, to see a prestigious Doctor. 

His prestigious doctor suggested methotrexate.  Yes, it was the same drug as before.  But if prestige said it was the right one, maybe he just needed to stay on it longer.    
Unfortunately, this time it didn’t take the pain away.   
Next he drove all the way to Buffalo to be seen by the Sisters of Mercy.  Giving credit, they ran some additional tests to dig deeper, and found Lyme Disease.  I have seen cases of regional pain syndromes that turned out to be Lyme disease, so this was a valuable clue.  
He reported that they did nothing to help, however.  
The pain occupies his mind and conversation, and a friend shares that she was helped by True Health.  Without hope, he visits my very un-prestigious backyard.  (Unless you hold Mother Nature in high regard)

By the time he finds True Health, he is exhausted.  He is having headaches and visual disturbances and now his shoulders are aching too. 

His labs revealed inflammation and adrenal exhaustion.   Exhaustion may have been a result of his 2 year journey, but I know that chronic infections like Lyme disease do wear you out. 

I found a plant that strengthened his weakness, called Manjistha.  

Manjistha is a plant native to India, China, and some areas of Africa.  Its traditional use is for spider and snake bites, because it flushes the lymphatic system.  It is also known to be an immune stimulant, which might be perfect for a chronic bacterial infection as the diagnosis reactive arthritis suggests, or a chronic Lyme disease infection, as Sisters of Mercy suggested.     
After 2 years of pain, which he rated as 10 out of 10 when he came walked in to True Health.  A pain that would no longer be suppressed by harsh medicine.  After 6 weeks of the strength of Mother Nature, he reports that his energy is 7-8 out of ten.  His shoulder pain is gone, and his foot pain is “slightly sore.”
Manjistha is research proven to win against our culture’s chronic infections.  When you eat too much sugar and white flour, you attract a yeast infection to your gut called Candida.  If you don’t find your way, Candida can become systemic.  That means it reaches your blood, and travels to your brain, causing brain fog and depression.
We don’t know for sure what he had.  Sister’s of Mercy identified the Lyme disease infection.  The only thing that matters, is results.  Manjistha defeated every possibility and returned life to his disability.
