"The first week I started the regime the change was amazing. My energy returned, my skin glowed, the aches and pains and heat (inflammation) in my joints went away (almost all), the gastric reflux stopped. People commented on the change in me. I was amazed at how different and positive I felt. So thank you so much." Susie, Plymouth

"I can't speak highly enough of that man, he changed my life". Doreen, Worcester 

Depression 

If we were to regard emotions and mental or psychological conditions as a see-saw, then depression would be found on one end and anxiety on the other. So when anxiety is the high of the see-saw, depression would be the low and, in a sufferer, these two states would fluctuate all the time there is a problem.

All emotions are converted into chemicals in the brain, neurotransmitters - acetylcholine, noradrenalin, serotonin, dopamine, histamine etc, to name a few of the major ones - which travel along nerves and eventually reach all organs, glands and cells resulting in the expression of signs and symptoms.

A neutransmitter imbalance in the case of depression would result for example, in lassitude, apathy, low libido, reduced energy and so on.
Paradoxically, medicinal drugs for depression and anxiety are thought to be the most likely causes of depression and anxiety!
Medicinals for heart disease, blood pressure, ulcers, infections, arthritis, convulsions, Parkinson's disease and many others have the potential to result in depression.

Neurotransmitter balance may also be affected by food allergy/intolerance, pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungus/Candida and parasites), toxins such as metals (aluminium, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium etc), chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, food additives and preservatives etc), radiation (mobiles and phone masts, DECT phones, background radiation, air travel etc) and not forgetting emotional highs and lows such as grief, fear, despair, etc from the stresses of life.

Treatment of depression involves removal of the possible causes and ensuring an adequate supply of the major factors in healing and regeneration such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids of omega 3 and 6, the friendly bacteria, probiotics and soluble and insoluble fibre from whole grains, fruit and vegetables.
Last but certainly not least in the treatment of depression is to ensure a plentiful intake of water to avoid dehydration, as well as exposure to sunlight where possible and regular exercise. Sugar and caffeine as well as recreational drugs are perhaps the most deleterious factors in any condition which affects the mood and emotions and must be avoided at all times.
