Evidence for cause of depression

... and that makes me feel depressed. lol
Good morning Mr. Bubbly.

Well, thank you sir. Since you do exactly that, I think that it is very magnanimous of you to afford us that same freedom. You're a really swell guy. lol

Cheers. - Frank

I'll bet a number of killers were chewing gum too.

I hear that. I've been around people with clinical depression and some with just generally lazy, poopy attitudes and there's one huge difference.

I've also seen research that suggests that deficiencies of endorphins can be a factor - and that sure sounds logical and right to me. However - I don't see how giving people drugs ever cures that. There has to be something they can give to aid production if natural exercise regimes won't work.

What tweaked me about this report was that the research is trying to get to the cause to fix it instead of just looking for another way to make another drug to control it. This is the first time I've seen research that is actually looking for the cause so it can be fixed instead of chronically controlled at continuing, life-long expense to the patient with no hope of reprieve.

Of course - like I said, I don't suffer from this so I don't really do a lot of research into it. I usually use my time for finding answers to my own issues and causes.

My continued problem is asthma and allergies. They say there's no cure, but I've yet to see anyone really look for one. It's always another drug to "control" it. I can do that myself. I want answers, not drugs. Until someone is interested enough to really get into it, it's not going to happen. Pharms aren't known for wanting to cure anything - they make their money controlling. It's hard to get independent research because there's no money in answers. Screwed up world. Very screwed up world.

The vital elements in about any food start to decay once picked. When choosing oils, it's advised to pick extra virgin, cold pressed to avoid as much of that as possible. Some oils like flax and avocado should never be used to cook with because they turn rancid in heat. Some hold better - hemp and coconut oil hold pretty well, and coconut oil has a higher temperature point so makes good cooking oil.

Another element that is highly tooted as a health natural is aloe, although all the vital elements break down within 24 hours of picking so don't even usually get to processing before rendered useless. I just keep aloe plants and pick a leaf or two as I need them. I eat whole foods for as many of my nutrients and supplemental elements as possible. Supplements just aren't as good, although they are needed sometimes when high concentrations of an element are needed.
