RADIO HEALTH PEARL #329 …brought to you by the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center.

People have a tendency to call themselves DEPRESSED very quickly, when things are not going right. But keep in mind that depression is a chronic condition not a temporary situation.

I have talked to plenty of people who take prescription anti-depressants, because they hit a rough spot in their lives; but who are still taking these anti-depressants even after a few years!

If someone is truly depressed and needs professional help in order to function, that is ONE THING; and thank goodness western medicine created drugs to help those in need!
However others could be shown natural, non-addictive substitutes without negative side effects, or put on anti-depressants for a limited time, after which a supervised switch to a more holistic approach could be promoted.

Medical Doctors, PhD’s, Naturopaths, and other scientists have done successful studies on integrative and all-natural methods to combat depression.
At the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center on North 19th Avenue we have great literature for you to do more studying, and combined with our free advice we hope to get you back to feeling your very best!

Do you FEEL DEPRESSED?
This is a tough question, because there are many “feelings” that could put us in a depressing mode. Let me explain:

You could be tired from a long day’s work, coming home late, only to find that there has been a leak that has flooded a room. You know you need to clean it up, before you can really assess the damage.
Then you realize you will have to call a 24-hour plumbing service, which will cost you a pretty penny; and since you got a speeding ticket this morning while going to work, and your ex is bothering about a late-payment, you realize there is NO MONEY for that repair tonight.
You haven’t eaten dinner yet, which doesn’t improve your judgment on this whole ordeal; and tomorrow morning you have a special early work-meeting you still need to prepare for.

THIS!….my friend, IS DEPRESSING! And it could make one depressed; but it is not the same as BEING depressed.

At the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center on North 19th Avenue we don’t do plumbing, take-out dinners or prep meetings. However, we MAY be able to help in other ways.

As I mentioned in my previous Health Pearl, the American Cancer Society reported that the government is eying breast cancer PREVENTION, by increasing mammograms.

Sadly enough, there is no talk about a decrease in breast cancer because of the many women who have made changes in their diet and lifestyle, or who have adjusted their intake of dietary supplements.

Neither is their mentioning of the published research of Dr. John Lee, a Medical Doctor, who wrote several books including the bestsellers:
•    What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Menopause,
•    What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Pre-Menopause and
•    Dr. John Lee’s Hormone Balance Made Simple

Many women are now avoiding breast- and other female-related cancers through the use of natural progesterone cream therapy.

At the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center on North 19th Avenue our on-board Clinical Nutritionist and Chinese Herbalist Marion Bachra has helped many women understand their hormones better, thereby improving their quality of life substantially.
