NATURAL TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION:

• Are you or someone you love struggling with depression?
• Do you have depression that is unresponsive to medication?
• Would you like to explore the possibility of weaning off antidepressants safely?

New research and treatments extend a beacon of hope. You can find help for the normal bumps in life’s road that cause situational sadness. There is also help for longstanding depression.

DEPRESSION TREATMENT:

My approach includes:

• Identifying and treating physical causes of depression
• Providing nutritional guidance that brings brain chemicals to optimal levels
• Identifying whether you are one of the 70% of people with depression who have low folate
• Exploring whether you have an imbalance in histamine which can cause depression and/or anxiety
• Prescribing antidepressants when necessary
• Take an online quiz to see if you have a challenge making folate.
• MTHFR Quiz – Word Version
• Take an online quiz to see if you may have low histamine (histapenia)

• Low Histamine Quiz – Word Version

  New scientific research shows that antidepressants actually reduce the body’s ability to make important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. For this reason, antidepressants often stop working, which makes the depression worse. Then, conventional treatment would prescribe larger doses or a change in medication to re-establish optimal neurotransmitter levels. Through supplements called targeted amino acid therapy, we can rebalance neurotransmitters and bring them up to their proper levels. As treatment progresses, special testing allows this amino acid therapy to be adjusted as neded. I also support the digestive tract where 70% of serotonin is made. If histamine is low, this affects brain chemistry, as well, and can lead to depression that is accompanied by other emotional and physical symptoms. Specific vitamins and minerals can raise histamine to correct this imbalance. As depression begins to lift, it is possible for many patients to reduce or wean off medication gradually and safely.

  THYROID DISEASES:

  ARE YOU 1 OF 27 MILLION?

  • Are you taking thyroid medication?
  • Are you still having symptoms even though your lab tests are normal?
  • Do you have excessive fatigue, depression, mood swings, or hormone imbalance?

  27 million people in the US suffer from thyroid problems. Half of these people have not yet been diagnosed.

  You may actually have an immune system problem instead of a thyroid problem. Rebalancing your immune system can help you feel better and may reduce or eliminate the need for thyroid medication.

  CHILDREN’S HEALTH:

  Parents bring their children for a variety of reasons, but among the top three are behavioral issues, GI problems and headaches. These are also frequent reasons for children to miss school. When physical or emotional issues interfere with school performance and social relationships, parents search for answers. They often come to me when they are at their wit’s end and at a loss as to what to do.

  Parents don’t often realize they need healing when a child is hurting. A child’s distress can be difficult for everyone, as it upsets the balance of the whole family dynamic. As the root cause of illness is found and treated, both child and family reclaim health. When a child gets better, parent’s worry less and relax into the healing process. They don’t have to try to hold things together, anticipating the next illness or behavioral outburst. This reduces stress for the parent and brings hope and healing.

  I love using homeopathy with children because its simple, natural and is powerfully effective for physical and emotional conditions. I begin by getting to know the child and his/her concerns and the special way they respond to what happens around them. In this way, I am able to give a remedy that best fits them. I also focus on healthy eating for the whole family, as well as vitamins and supplements when necessary.
