Natural Therapies Treatment for Depression

If you've been following my blog and see what a motivated, happy person I am, you'll be like other people who meet me lately who are blown away when I tell them that I was on prescription anti-depressants for 10 years and endured dark periods of suicidal thoughts.

I am not the person I was back then, in fact I don't think that person back then was even me. Why was I depressed? Actually I think the anti-depressants MADE me depressed. When I first went to the doctor I felt ok, but was having trouble sleeping and would lay awake for hours at night. I'd separated from my husband after years of abuse and was then having to hide in fear of my life, so the doctor probably thought I should/would be depressed and made his diagnosis based on my circumstances.

It was many years later, while stuck in another going-nowhere relationship fraught with problems he'd brought to the relationship (drug addiction, alcohol abuse...I'm good at picking 'em aren't I??) that I became suicidal, laying around all day and crying a lot. I decided to change. That decision was a big step for a depressed person, when just deciding to eat something required a lot of effort.

I knew I'd need help to beat the anti-depressants. I'd tried to wean myself off them before and each time ended having dizzy spells, putting myself in danger of falling down stairs or feinting in crowded areas.

This time was different. I decided to take a holistic approach and combined therapies. I exercised daily, took a lot of vitamin supplements and ate heaps of varieties of fresh whole foods, and bought a Holosync Technology 'brainwave altering' audio cd">audio cd set that I think was the main reason for my success. When I first listened to the cd sitting in a beanbag with headphones on, I was out like a light. There are special sounds in the cd that play with your mind and tune it up, just like a mechanic tunes up a car. The Holosync Technology">Holosync Technology balanced my right and left brain activity and did amazing things for me. With the combined therapies I got off the medication and became a picture of vibrant health.

Then in recent years I became a fan of The Secret. I've watched The Secret about 30 times and I didn't even realise until recently that Bill Harris">Bill Harris, who features in The Secret alongside , is the man behind the Holosync Technology. I thought I recognised his voice, so I looked him up and there ya go!. It's the kind of dvd you can have playing in the background at any time while you go about your other duties, and subliminally take in the helpful information. If you haven't heard of The Secret, you're among a minority as its featured on Oprah and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. I recommend that you get hold of a copy. Then you'll want copies for your friends too, so if they have a sale on bulk quantities, snap them up for gifts. Even my young daughter has fallen in love with it to the point that for her 18th birthday she asked for her own copy.

I hope I can help others become well and beat prescription anti-depressants. If you know someone who needs help, please send my article to them with love. Please forward a link to this blogspot, or if you're printing this out, this is the correctlink: "http://www.centerpointe.com/?aid=370120"
