about

Greetings,

I'm here and will attempt to answer questions that relate to either your SPIRITUALITY or your HEALTH. I consider myself to be a very spiritual human being, not religious as I don't follow an organized religion's dogma.
My heart is my good book and I attempt to live life from that point of view. I have lived long enough to have gained some wisdom and feel I could have something worthwhile to share.
I've used herbs and natural supplements and followed a healthy lifestyle since the early 90's, in fact it was herbs and herbal supplements and some lifestyle changes that saved my life.
As there have been some pretty wonderful people that have helped me along my life's journey, it's simply my turn to give back and if I can help someone here, I'm glad to do that. Hope to hear from you with your questions and if I help just one other person during my experience here, it will have been worth it. Have a very Happy&Health new year everyone, you all deserve it!

I Have been feeling depressed for almost a year now, and I have read nearly all the articles posted about depression, but none of them really help me. I took the first step of talking to a trusted adult, who was one of my former teachers. She tried to help me by calling my mom and referring me to different counselors. But this made my mom very angry. My mom refuses to let me see a counselor, and she is not allowing me to have contact with my teacher either. I don't understand why, but I think it's because my mom feels like I am placing blame on her for my issues. Now I feel so alone because I have no one to talk to. I want to call my teacher, but my mom would be very angry if she found out. What else is there left for me to do if counseling is not an option? I fear I will keep getting more and more depressed like I have been. Please respond to my question, I really need your help!

First, sometimes depression can be caused by what we eat.... eliminate soda pop, esp diet ones.... eliminate sugars and lots of flour products*(bread, pasta etc)..... and try to get enough sleep and exercise....eat veggies and fruits.... and try to get plenty of fresh air.... also give yourself quiet time for meditation or quiet baths or showers.... get away from loud noises and take walks and just do nothing.... I use to suffer from depression and when I cleaned up my diet it helped alot, I hope this helps.... don't give up.... if you access to a natural food store/health food store.... call them or go in and talk to them... there are some natural products on the market(especially some Chinese formulas)that actually help with depression....honest, I was married to a working herbalist and he saved my life several years ago...... I can give you his 800 phone number if you wish.... if you haven't any other resource closer to you.
