I deal with wholefood wholesalers for my work so I can find stuff at trade cost.
Lee - ThanksHe did used to take mirtazapine, it was fantastic for him. He was better than I'd ever known him during the time he took it, sleeping, eating and feeling better than he ever had. He cut his dose down to 1/3 of a tablet and was still ok with it but then decided to come off it as he didn't like having to take medication. I get the feeling he will again if very desperate.
Meerie, I'll look out for that. He did visit the homeopath/acupuncture person I saw for allergies but the Dr felt unable to offer him the help he would need.
Thats great, he is definetley on the right track then. Ive found those supplements and superfoods to be the most powerful and safe antidepressents around. It sounds to me like his problem is mostly chemical. It is possible that there is a deep underlying psychological issue related to it as well. I agree with Meerie, he should look into some holistic therapy. There are so many, NLP, EFT, hypnosis, reiki etc.
If he wants a veggie source for the omega 3s the best way to go would be lots of spirulina and marine phtoplankton as they are the only plant foods (marine phytoplankton is as vegan as taking probiotics) that contain EPA/DHA which the brain actually uses. Other plant foods contain ALA which is converted into EPA/DHA and not as effective. Krill oil is the best and cheapest of those three. High doses of vitiman d3 (5000 iu) and vitiman c (with cofactors) are great for deppression and anxiety as well.
I highly reccomend you look into candida, parasites, worms, heavy metal toxicity and detox. You will be amazed at how he feels after he does a cleanse. Ra even said this by saying that ridding the body of excess toxic material also cleans the mind (referring to fasting).
Also, just wanted to add that what helped me the most when I felt I was being attacked was buying a Qlink emf protection pendant. One of the foremost authorities on astral projection (forgot the name) also believe it protects from all negativity.
