How
many times have you read about St.
John's Wort for the treatment of depression?
German medical practitioners use it regularly as an effective alternative
to addictive, risky antidepressant drugs. In the light of the recent
antidepressant / suicide scandals, we all need to promote substitutes
for prescription blues-fighters. Reuters Health reported that a
high-grade extract of St. John's Wort is more effective at treating
moderate to severe depression than Paxil, one of the most commonly
prescribed antidepressant drugs.
According to the article, researchers compared the treatment of
more than 250 patients between 18 and 70 years of age for six weeks.
At the end of the study, over 50% of the patients in the St. John's
Wort extract group reported improvement in their depression, while
only 32% of those in the Paxil group reported any benefits at all.
And would you also believe that the side effects experienced by
the St. John's Wort group were much fewer and farther between than
in the drug group? This finding only confirms what other studies
have shown before: St.
John's Wort is a safe and effective mood elevator. It's also
one of the few herbal treatments that you can find in every grocery
store “medicine” shelf. But there is a problem: Not all
St. John's Wort supplements work.
There is a wide range in effectiveness of all herb supplements
because of differences in the soil, nutrients, weather, and very
importantly in the absorbability of the active ingredients. Unfortunately,
there are no uniform standards of freshness, quality, bioavailability,
or even recommended effective dosages in the supplement industry.
You can get anything from utterly useless to extremely effective
medicine, still at a fraction of the cost of the addictive pharmaceutical
drugs.

not have to go looking any farther.
You might remember that soaking your feet in Transdermal Magnesium
was documented to elevate the tissue levels of DHEA. It could not
hurt to add some with the St. John’s Wort Drops, would it?
Look at this news about another drugless depression therapy…
According to a new study conducted by a branch of the National
Institute of Mental Health, the hormone precursor DHEA (dihydroepiandrosterone)
proved effective at combating so-called "mid-life onset"
depression in roughly 50% of cases, which apparently is better than
the Paxil example above.
Your body is supposed to produce
more of DHEA than all other hormones combined. Production typically
peaks between 20 and 30 years of age, however — beyond that,
typical DHEA levels decline dramatically. This could be the first
time DHEA is shown to be effective against depression. Previous
research has linked the hormone to prevention and reversal of heart
disease, arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, diabetes, cancer,
obesity, and other afflictions associated with aging. You can buy
DHEA as an oral supplement, but you get a more sustained natural
effects from Magnesium supplementation.
