Patient discussion about Natural ventilation.

Q. What are natural or alternative ways to beat depression? I keep reading about how depression is caused by 'chemical imbalances' in the brain, and it feels like I don't stand a chance at beating it without going on Anti-depressants, but I don't want to go down this route cause I'm worried about the side-effects. Can anyone suggest natural ways to beat depression that don't involve medication?

A. On the spiritual side, depression can come from repressed anger. To get rid of that is easier said than done. Talking lets us vent our frustrations. Exercise helps you let go as you come away with a new perspective. Anger may come from not accepting things you cannot change. Pride may bring you down becuase you worry what others will think. Forgiveness is the best way let old grudges and hurt go. Let all that baggage go. Get rid of it. Being patient helps us see the other side of things and people. Let go of the guilt from the deep past. Move on. What has happened has gone. Move forward. If you fall down, get up and go again, and again and again. We learn from our pain. We learn from our sufferings.

But depite all these things, I still must take my medicine and keep seeing my doctor and do the very best with the circumstances I have. Be happy with you are and with you already have.

Q. Is there a natural way to stop a headache? Can you stop headaches without having to take any medicine?

A. I read in a natural remedy book once that to rub mint oil on your temples will eleveate the headache, so I tried it once at a friends house when I had a pounding headache and sure enough, it worked!!! With no medicine at all just mint oil on cotton balls and rub on your temples for a while

Q. Has anyone tried natural hormones for hypo-thyroidism or fibromyalgia? I am on the low normal range for hypo-thyroidism (do not take meds for) and was diagnosed years ago with fibromyalgia. I take Ultram for the pain which also helps my fatigue factor but I still feel so sluggish sometimes and just want to sleep. I'm on an anti-depressant as it is. I've been hearing more about natural hormone therapy for these conditions and was wondering if anyone out there has tried this.

A. The Ultram and the anti-depressants do that and as for the natural hormone treatments they don't really work. The Gulf War that gave me hypo-thyroid and hypo-prolactimia which is the Pituitary Gland acting up. On top of the fibro,fatique,pain and recovering from arsenic poison I was put on hormone treatments and it made things worse. I blew up like a balloon, I was still tired and it never corrected the problem with my glands. I tried everything out there and I wasn't getting any better until now. A friend of mine told me of this product called Vitalitea and that it could help me.I was desperate to get my health back and boy did I. Go to Ai3global.com/greentea and click on product and wellness and read it. Check out the www on the healing properties of quality green tea and not the stuff you by at the local store. My fatique, and chronic pain is gone. My Fibromyalgia is so, so mild. I do fun things again after 7 year of suffering. You won't regret it. It is all natural.
