DEPRESSION OPTIONS

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

RADIO HEALTH PEARL #457 …brought to you by the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center.

If treating depression were easy, a lot less people would be making a living off of it…

DEPRESSION is an umbrella term for different types of debilitating emotional upsets. They all have overlapping symptoms, but specific severities will set each one apart.

Taking dietary supplements will not be a replacement for medication you are taking yet, but many can become additions to, or eventual substitutes for prescription drugs. Work with a physician who is willing to monitor you during this process.

o Adequate fish oil daily, with at least 1,500 mg of EPA fat is almost essential;

o Year round Vitamin D3 is often missing in those with depression;

o Trying some GABA and Tryptophan may calm the mind, lift the spirit, as well as improve sleep;

o And Bach Flowers have helped many people during the last century.

The list goes on. None of these will help you overnight, but with proper coaching, positive change is near.

GABA (GAMMA AMINOBUTYRIC ACID)

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

RADIO HEALTH PEARL # 384 … brought to you by the Gesundheit! Nutrition Center.

There is this wonderful amino acid that has helped many people to relax more during the day. It is called Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid, or GABA for short.

GABA is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, stopping nerve cells from over-firing. And when taken together with a B-Complex, it helps fight anxiety and extra stress feelings, even helping with high blood pressure, epilepsy and suppressed sex-drive.

So, why is it exciting to try GABA when life is tough?

Research shows that it has a similar calming effect on the body as the prescription drugs Valium, Librium and other tranquilizers, but without the fear of addiction.

GABA, or Gamma Aminobutyric Acid, is best taken as recommended. In this case “more is not better”. Work your way up if desired, but pay attention to your body’s reaction.

GABA is available in different forms, including capsules and tablets that dissolve under your tongue. You may happily surprised once you give it a try.
