You say you have suffered from Depression for many years, its highly unlikely that you will find a quick cure. Sometimes cleansing can even cause deeper depressive feelings as old toxins are stirred up. Try to go for at least six liver flushes. Then if you aren't getting any stones you can stop and just do maintenance flushes once or twice a year. Also, begin doing a good bowel cleanse. Somewhere in the achieves is a story by Alisaun, who overcame her Depression with bowel cleansing. Make sure you are getting plenty of magnesium in your diet. You can take magnesium oxide tablets at first, they will also help keep your bowels moving. However, its best to get your magnesium from whole foods. Fish oil has been reported to help ease Depression too. There is a technique called EFT (emotional freedom technique) that is helpful in dealing with depression. You can download free how-to manuals on line. I got mine from Mercola.com, but there are several more-just do a search on EFT.
Depression is a very complex disease and involves both physical and emotional issues. It can be overcome, and it can be delt with without drugs, but it will take time and effort.

Depending on how long you've had symptoms, you will need to a different amount of flushes. I think a lot of people who notice big changes between the first and fifth flush are mostly healthy and usually want to get rid of a symptom or two that has been bothering them lately. No offense to those lucky people. I wish I would have learned years ago that these problems started with my liver--after taking a Depo-Provera shot. I wasted years with doctors and websites that don't care about anything but convincing me to enter my credit card number into their order form page.

I've done 13 Liver Flushes and I'm still not all the way better, even though I've gotten close to 3,000 stones. I did notice that I was sleeping better, having dreams and feeling less fatigue after just my third. It has taken time to help the other symptoms and since my body is so toxic, I think it will probably take atleast 20 before I feel a lot better.

I would also like to add that doing just Liver Flushes cannot help if you don't take care of your body otherwise. Watching what you eat among other things is also very important. If you don't, your liver will be battling bad foods while you are doing Liver Flushes trying to make it better. This cannot help with the depression. I'm about to do the master cleanse. Maybe that would help you too?

I know it's hard. Hang in there. You will get there :)

Lovey

I really think, like others here, that Depression is connected with liver congestion and general liver problems. In fact, I think that Depression usually does not occur by itself but is the mind's red flag that tells you there is an illness in the body. The mind-body thing is a lot more linked than I thought.

Anyway, hopinso had some great advice. I really think that supplements to support the liver make a huge difference - for me they do. Here are a couple of things that help:

Liquid vitamin B - Sublingual - improves liver function and gives you a emotional boost.

SAM E (S-Adenosyl Methonine) - improve mood and really helps the liver to purge toxins.

Milk thistle - protects and supports liver cells to do their job, helps repair damage.

Glutathione - a naturally occur compound in the liver that is involved with cleaning and protecting liver cells.

Liver Aid (or some such) with Inositol and Cysteine - increase intrahepatic glutathione.

Glutamine - increases glutathione and really improves your mood.

Fish oil - improves HDL - that helps mood.

Fiber - binds up bad fatty acids in the gut and helps excrete them.

Exercise - the best natural mood enhancer I have ever known.

Liver Flush- Critical in moving the stones in your liver, which are likely to be a major cause of you troubles to begin with.




Depression is a body issue even more than a mind issue sometimes. If you makes some positive changes you'll see some improvement.


Good luck.

I've been on a path of healing for the last year which started as a fight with Depression and severe ADHD symptoms. I had lived so long ignoring the mind-body connection. I never considered my body was a part of the problem and the solution. So much time wasted...keep at it you'll see results. I did three colon cleansings this year and my first Liver Flush last nite. I know I'm on the right path, because each time I see enough results to let me know I'm on the right path.

Hi Dawn!

There are several reasons to be considered while dealing with depression. You have got wonderful help by the others, who already answered your posting. Me too, I want to contribute with what I know.

I higly recommend you to read the following book:

"The Omega-3 Connection: The Groundbreaking Anti Depression Diet and Brain Program" by M.D., Andrew L. Stoll: "During the course of reading this book you will learn about exciting research into a remarkable group of natural substances: the omega-3 fatty acids..."

Andrew L. Stoll is a professor in psychopharmacology.

Our ancestors had very much Omega 3 in their diet. We people of today have virtually none (except of those people who eat fish or rare birds like me, who take their flax- or hemp-oil daily). The balance of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids is very important for our wellbeing.

Don't just fix yourself on one method to cure your depression, but consider different paths. You Depression might wll be the reulst of several mistakes concerning eeating habits, drug intake and much more. Mistakes, that are part of the normal life of modern man and that we only learn to consider as mistakes through illness. The same happened to me several years ago. Today I am healthy and a rare bird concerning my eating habits and my way of thinking.

Anyway. Each one doing liver-flushes is a rare bird, so you have already started into the rigth direction........ (I did flush no 12 this weekend).
