08/26/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Saint John's Wort is fine, it is also antiviral and depression at the same time time. 5HTP may help some. It is more for correcting his biochemical imbalance rather then friends now. If he is a bit depressed, take omega 3, salmon fish oil 3 times a day, 1000 mg for a week, then reduce to 1 a day and then every other day. His zinc status is also low, so 25 mg for just 5 days, then thereafter once a week. His depression should be manageable. It appears that drugs lower his immune system making it vulnerable to virus, and it is virus that's causing him problems. It is actually more common than people suspected. Narcissus oils also helps depression too, and B3 niacinamide.It's likely to be low energy from studies of depressed people SPECT scan. St. John's Wort is antiviral and that may help the depression too, but we know it as an anti-depressant. Most people can handle well losing friends, to better be able to cope, try vitamin E 400 i.u., vitamin C ascorbic acid, amino acid supplements, and zinc acetate (it's antiviral) 15 mg twice a day, taken over 1 month. Metabolism can be low if not enough CoQ10, so 400 mg should also resolve it. All depressed people have presence of virus, and with lysine as the major remedy, 1000 mg x 4, this usually helps. I have no problems in Bangkok dealing with these people, I do have problems of people who are not willing to take supplements in the first place, even for one day!

SEVERE DEPRESSION AFTER TRYING TO QUIT SMOKING
05/14/2008: Katelyn from Pike County, Kentucky writes: "Hello everyone. I am a country girl who lives on biscuits and gravy, beans and potatoes,LOL.I smoke about half a pack a day and drink way to much cola!!! I am only 38 yrs old but am feeling 60. NO WONDER-with my diet and lifestyle.My question is this-I want to quit smoking, but get very depressed every time I try-I mean severly-to the point I just want to DIE. I have been reading all these wonderful remedies on acv-cayenne-evco,etc. I know I neesd to change my lifestyle if I am ever going to feel any better, I just don't know where to start. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I don't want to bombard my system too much too soon so please send any feedback. Thanks so much for your time."
05/18/2008: Joyce from Joelton, Tn. replies: "Hi there Severely Depressed, That half pack of cigarettes per day is probably doing you less damage than your "way too many colas" are. Any colas at all are not good for your kidneys, and if they are diet drinks that makes it even worse, as aspartame is also known for causing depression. Start eating to give your body what it needs to function and your depression will probably clear up. The beans, potatoes, biscuit & gravy doesn't sound too bad, if they are cooked from scratch. You might also throw in a magnesium supplement since most of us are deficient in this mineral and it is an important one. Until you are feeling much better, I also suggest a good multivitamin mineral supplement once a day, and a good Stress Tab (B complex with Vitamins C & E) at meal time and bedtime. You can slow down to less per day after you have found your way out of depression. Also if you happen to be on an antidepressant drug, it is likely to be full of fluoride which is not good news."
