Hannah suggested I read your post on this forum. Sounds like you are doing great!
I've taken a slightly different path--but just recently my 'integrative' doctor suggested if I can't pull out of the Depression using alternative things, I needed to reconsider anti-depressents. That at least motivated to keep trying--you know, the Depression can get to HEAVY the thought of cooking a nutritious meal or getting exersize seems too much. But I'm at the same point as you--I'm ready to win this battle! I did a Liver Flush last week and trying to learn enough to have an even more successful one two weeks! Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm/energy/knowledge/committment. May I share your summary of "why we are depressed"--I knew all those things but it somehow seemed more forceful put all together like that.
