Your Gut and Depression

"Gut and Psychology Syndrome," I like this book by Dr. Natasha Cambell McBride, especially the chapter on "The Gut-Brain Connection." Medical history has many examples of severe psychiatric conditions coming from the gut.
Kazudzo Nishi, a renowned Japanese professor, estimated that at least one in ten psychiatric conditions is due to self-intoxification coming from the bowel.
Other psychiatric conditions can be caused by nutrient deficiency and even gentetic problems such as MTHFR or those listed on another post.
I think if these conditions can be discovered in childhood, especially with children with behavior problems, we could eliminate a lot of suicides, drug addictions, and overcrowding of jails and prisons to say nothing of mental health problems.

If your child has behavior problems or ever wants to kill themself or even speaks of it, I would recommend  taking probiotics and fish oil. Then, I would have them tested for high histamine or other chemical imbalances.  Maybe use genetic testing 23-and-me to see if they have a genetic mutation, MTHFR, that prevents liver from detoxifying. I would look into counseling, emotion code and finding a practitioner to release trapped emotions, and I would also use Elan Light therapy.

As a therapist I found that anger you turn in on yourself, feeling guilty, feeling trapped, and loss ..loss of love, loss of self-esteem, loss of love, and loss of control in your life can be precipitaitng factors. If you feel like you want to die, or think of suicide, call a crisis line...if you have a plan call immediately or call a counselor or go to the emergency room.
I have seen so many people overcome depression and even mental illness with nutrition, diet, elan light therapy, and therapy.
Books I really like are:
Nutrition and Mental Illness, by Dr. Carl Peiffer
My book, "Defeating Depression & beating the Blues," Pat Webb
Depression Free,Naturally
Louise Hays books. "Love Yourself, Heal Your Life." & "You Can Heal Your Life,"
Gut and Psychology Syndrome, by MCCabe
I do believe that most mental illness and depression begin in the gut.
Find a good probiotic
Fish oil is essential to prevent depression
Check out Elan Light Therapy and find a practitioner.
Find an Emotion Code Practitioner or buy the book "The Emotion Code," by Dr. Bradley Nelson and learn to do this yourself.
I will discuss more coping skills in later posts and also on my blog,

Don't give up hope...
Hope is the thing with feathers--
that perches in the soul---
And sings the tune without the words...
And never stops--- at all.
Emily Dickinson
