Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I was kind of wondering about that part about Both having symptoms too? Has this been ongoing for sometime? did you both start having these feelings at the same time? Has something happened in both your lives recently such as loss of a loved one or other similar stress? How about diet? Do you both drink coffee, sugar, etc. I have just recently read about B vitamins and how they affect your moods. You can try some tea of St Johns Wort (you do have to be careful of sun exposure though). Other oils to try for Aromatherapy are Patchouly, and orange blossom. Both are strong but a little dab here and there can difinitely lift the spirits. ) Sylviagayekyc1 wrote: Geez, this sounds like my episodes with PMS...Maybe it is a hormoneimbalance.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 wow. i'm sorry. it seems like you are both going through quite a bit. ironically the foods one often reaches to for their convenience and as " comfort " often make the situation worse. if you are eating a lot of sugars, refined foods and carbs i would really suggest taking a look at your diet and trying to switch to fresh, raw when possible and organic when possible (lots of fruits and veggies). it seems like you both have a lot of stress to deal with as well. exercise can really help to deal with stress...especially a type of exercise that involves relaxation or meditation...i would strongly suggest that you do yoga together (a lot of times it's hard to find time or $$ for a class but you could start out doing a video together) this way it's also giving you a way to deal with things together that is not purley " trading episodes " as you said you seem to fall into. i'm sure there are tons of herbs that could help lift your spirits...but as with everything it seems important to get at the cause of the depression and i think diet and exercise could be a good way to go...people living together often have the same diet and lifestyle...so it's not too surprising that you are having similar symptoms. also don't discount the fact that you both have " stuff " going on...be sure to communicate with each other and give yourself time to adjust to all of the changes you have to deal with. sorry for the novel!! be well. luv laura herbal remedies , Sugar <sugarfatz> wrote: > > Note: forwarded message attached. > > > ===== > " Either Marinate or Elevate " > > > > SBC DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! > http://sbc. > For me, it's build up, school, taking care of my > gfather (80yrs old), finding time to study (properly), > working and trying to still have a life.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hi Sugar, Doc's Total Nutrition basically saved me in the last few months when I was going through a separation from my husband. It handled my depression so I could start dealing with it and help my 5-year-old also. I ran out last week, and while waiting for a new shipment I can feel the tiredness coming back, and lethargy/lack of interest (my separation is not yet completed!) So it definitely makes a big difference. But yes, of course the cause does need to be located also, otherwise you're just putting a bandaid on your depression without actually handling it. love, Lisa - Sugar Herbal Remedies Tuesday, July 08, 2003 8:39 PM [herbal remedies] Depression Hello Everyone:Can anyone recommend an herb or herbs to treatdepression?

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I don't think this is strange at all...Even small leaks in a stove or heater can cause problems...and like the carbon monoxide it is rarely noticed. Just a slight smell, like something rotting, a pest smell (like rats) or a sour smell. But most people get headaches from just a gas leak. Smart thinking on your part. I wouldn't have thought about it-or at least it wouldn't have been the first thing to come to mind. Gaye Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks. ~Charles Dickens~ This may sound strange, but since you and your boyfriend are both having symptoms it is worth a shot. Do you have any gas or propane appliances in your home? It is quite possible that you are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. Depression and lethargy are both common symptoms of this. It wouldn't hurt to have it checked out. Blessed Be! MtMoonKitty __ IncrediMail - Email has finally evolved - Click Here Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Sylvia, My Mother & son have the same identical symptoms-with milk, cheese & milk " by-products " ...lactose, whey, etc. check & see if anything in them, or something else you eat might be causing this. So many things get added to stuff like bread that is in concentrated form like whey, & other unusual names for other milk by-product concentrates, you have to really be careful. Even some seemingly good whole grain products have this sort of thing.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Sylvia, They sell cheese that is lactose free at our local health food store, maybe you can find some in your area...I'm sure the organic is wonderful, but it still has real milk. I'm thinking too---- that goat milk & goat milk cheese may be more digestible than than cow's milk & cheese...I know goat's milk has a smaller curd & you assimilate the nutrients more efficiently. So maybe it is easier on your digestion. And might not cause these other problems you mentioned...wouldn't hurt to try it, huh??

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Well, I'm going to jump on the Vit B bandwagon. I am very susceptible to depression and huge mood swings when I'm pms'ing. My only salvation is Vit B100. I don't have any problems taking it unless on an empty stomach. But really, with out it, I'm in tears or biting someone's head off (usually people I love). That's not the type of person I want to be so I swear by this wonderful vitamin!!! I have tried other women's vitamin combinations but none of them seem to work as well as straight up B100. An interesting B vit addition: I recently read that morning sickness is a side effect of a B6 deficiency. So I upped my B6 consumption. I didn't see any difference... It was an interesting experiment. Any one else ever hear this and try it? I really hope you can overcome this depression. You've made a great step in climbing above it in asking for help. In my own miner way, I know how depiliating depression can be. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. jessica _______________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Sylvia, Why...I Neeeever have that problem (overindulgence). LOL. Let me give you a quick recipe that is soooo good (and healthy without the bread). Can't remember the name of it. Use all organic of course.... You can just omit the bread & make a salad out of this.. •French bread-is there a substitute somebody? sliced diagonal crosswise •Diced tomatoes •crumbled feta (goat cheese) (the kind that has peppers in it, I always forget the name of it) •cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil •fresh basil-julianned •fresh cilantro-julianned •sliced black olives •fresh chives or green onions-sliced •cayenne peppers-diced small (wear gloves) Slightly toast bread or substitute, pile all the ingredients, except oil, on bread (or substitute) (or layer in glass bakeware without bread) Drizzle olive oil over all. Broil till cheese is softened & slightly bubbling, let cool just a tad...indulge...

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Elif,26 year old female from Turkey, writes: << I have gone through three big depressions ...>> Hi Elif from Minnesota USA, a state that borders Canada. I can suggest several ideas. You can see if you like any of them. Significant help is available using a technique known as EFT. EFT stands for emotional freedom technique. You can find out about EFT at Gary Craig's site: <A HREF= " http://www.emofree.com/ " >EFT - Gary Craig</A> At his site he has lots of real life stories about how EFT has helped people with many different challenges. He also has a free, downloadable manual there. There's also a listing of people who are ready and willing to help others using EFT. One story you would probably find encouraging is at: <A HREF= " http://www.emofree.com/cases/suicidal.htm " >http://www.emofree.com/cases/su\ icidal.htm</A> The fact that the above story is about someone getting significant help over the phone should expand your options. There's also an EFT forum where you can ask questions about EFT: <A HREF= " EmotionalFreedomTechniques " >EFT groups home page</A> Diet is also a factor in a person's mental outlook. To the extent that your diet is similar to the American Diet, it's SAD. SAD = Standard American Diet. Minimizing refined sugars and grains in a diet will help you feel better mentally and physically. Also artificial sugars like Nutrasweet are BAD news in the opinion of many people. If you'd like to research that yourself you could do a search on some words like nutrasweet danger toxic " side effects " . Or you could just visit a site like: <A HREF= " http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartame/ " >http://www.holisticmed.com/aspartam\ e/</A> Finally, supplements such as essential fatty acids and B complex can help. I'm not a health professional. Instead I'm just a citizen who has sought to learn about natural health methods for the last two decades. I wish you well on your journey to happiness.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Setting up the Design by my Deep Diagnosis by Design System, staying only with the initial history: [Today's patient is a 49 year old female suffering from depression.] Wood Subdued as the primary impression. [she has a history of alcohol abuse but is not currently drinking, joined AA 18 years ago and has been sober since then.] Wood Afflited. Primary impression reinforced. [she had a hysterectomy at age 41....] SP Oppressed by Disturbed Wood. Provisional Design elements - Wood Offending Earth. [... and malignant melanoma removed at about the same time.] Metal Dry. Provisional Design refined - Wood Offending Earth, Impoverished Metal. [she separated her shoulder at age 47, this healed normally.] Again Wood, separation mainly a tendinous affair. Healed, because Wood qi still in place, a good sign. Provisional Design refined further - Wood Offending Earth, Impoverished Metal, Wood qi in good stead. [she was hospitalized for suicidal thoughts in 1997.] Aggrieved Wood backing in Water, which oculd be Dried, more so Sunken. Provisional Design - Wood Offending Earth, Impoverished Metal, some Backing Up in Water. Discussion: Though rare, it seems a Wood primary element in trouble. Very predictably Erath was afflicted, givind the SP dysfunction which led to a somewhat premature hysterectomy. Over time, Wood Stagnated, and occasionally on Fire, backed up into Water, which in turn, went into suicidal mode. Could this be a Metal primary instead? Not really, the Melanoma would not have in so belatedly. What next? Confirm Wood as primary any way you can, toungue, pulse, chronolgy, 8 parameters, ear signs, tender points, channel palpation, shu-testing, hand KHT points, hand and foot Su Jok points, reflexology.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Pete Theisen: [Hi Dr. K! No fissures on tongue. I will look at wood. She is coming in today for a treatment.] Then Wood is more or less borne out. And in spite of her history, she is in good shape. Time to preclude! She will bring in a tongue with lateral crenellations, well marked, with occasional blotches which may be purple, Wood, or brown, Heat, or downright black, an aggravated Heat. Color at this stage ought to be tending to reddish, if not markedly red. Coat should be denuded in ST pattern, and under-tongue veins scanty or absent. Tongue ought to Spleenish with Wetness, flabby with teethmarks. Pulse ought to show bilateral Full guans, with R cun Feeble, Weak. If both guans are Wiry, which I doubt, the illness is still patent and needs reversal. If simply Full, and Empty, Wood needs Blood and Yin, which is the same thing. She could have flank pains, other lateral illnesses like migraine, scotoma before the eyes. Palpating GB channel will give pleasant surprises. Look for GB 39 tenderness, in addition to myriad tender points on this channel. If Wood is confirmed, the last thing to do is treat it directly. Looking for more input.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Hi Dr. K! Thanks for your input. I didn't notice any lateral crenellations or blotches, just kind of pink material with thin white coating. She said the treatment put her into another dimension, which I took as good. Next time I will check out the rest of this. At 10:38 AM 2/24/2004, you wrote: >Pete Theisen: >[Hi Dr. K! > >No fissures on tongue. I will look at wood.

This date of birth thing is completely outside of my training, I don't understand it - even *after* I read your website <g> June 21, 1954 for this patient. >Shame you never included a date of birth _________- Hi Pete, I am sorry you are struggling with understanding the info i have provided. I am not surprised it is outside of your training, It is my invention and observation based on years of making mistakes and noticing what really worked. However, is this reason to give up? what about the info I gave you with regards to 2 patients? were you willing to experiment with my sugestions? The difficulty with my way of treating is that it is not compatible with sticking needles where ever your ideas or posible theoretical frameworks might take you. For me a patient is like a pond,when they first turn up all their symptoms are a clear showing of what is really going on . As soon as we insert a needle we are already moving in the bottom of the pond. Unless we place needles in the right places the bottom of the pond gets unsettled and it gets harder to know where to look at in subsequent visits. now with this new patient you have already been advised to do all maner of points and I know from her D.O.B. that if you have followed them all you are none the wiser. why? because what ever is going on is between the KID / BL, GB, and SP. You are very good at catalogin symptoms ,so as an excercise. How about catalogin all possible symptoms with this patient to fit the KID / BL, GB, and SP?. I suggest The way to do this is to actively ask your patient to corroborate symptoms according to the meridian. for example The patient has undigested stools this is likely to come from the SP so you ask. what about appetite? what about feeling heavy? Here you need to be clear there are difeent forms of feeling heavy, such as the lympathic system not clearing lactic acid or physical exaustion or emotional supression. What about thoughts? is this person a worrier? how about stools?etc. You do the same for all the other meridians that I have given you and you will come up with a picture, my guess is Excess GB and Def. SP but you make your own guess. Having guessed you then have to prove the truth. this requires inserting needles. It is my premise that the majority of illnesses originate in emotional suppresion affecting the muscular structures of the body which in turn affect the organ / hormonal glands. If this is true, then whenever I insert an appropriate needle into a person. IF he is to feel better then those structures must relax. The person will feel calmer, looser, more grounded and at times more agile. Was it you who once mentioned the patient felt like on another planet after a treatment? if so, that is not the place we are after Salvador --\ ------------------------------- >salvador > > > > >Hi Everybody! > > > >Today's patient is a 49 year old female suffering from depression.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Salvador! Oh, I *never* give up. So far, however, the PN patients are not any better. Since the patients come only once a week I have only seen them once since you gave me your suggestions. Consider Gloria, 12/20/26 this is what I get with the program: c552aa.jpg I don't know what to do from here.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi Salvador! The c552aa.jpg was a screen shot. I guess the list doesn't support that. It was what the Magicos program serves up for Gloria's date of birth. You can do it on your own computer and see what I see. It shows a bunch of numbers and I don't know what they mean. Personality 2, Control 1, Tendency 6, Fogo 9, Terra 2, 5, 8; Metal 6, 7; Agua 1, Madiera 3, 4. At 02:52 AM 3/1/2004, you wrote: >Hi Salvador! > >Oh, I *never* give up.

If you are interested in exploring with me this way of enhancing your diagnosisng I wouldbe grateful for feedback which would be useful not just to me but to the silent others. for example. useful feed back would be based on the info I have provided to date : what needles / points you inserted, wether they were inserted clocwise or anticlockwise and for how long what physiological/ emotional/ mental changes occurred to the patient. how they felt once they put their clothes back on. when you see them again once more you ask about the symptoms that may have come or gone. this is very tri cky as patients tend to have very little body awareness. but a huge capacity to interpret white as purple. a good treatment will leave the patient feeling better for a few days and then they start to slide again depending on their ongoing streses wether at work, family, money etc., I had a patient for her 3rd treatment last week, she's initially come with facial neuralgia, frozen shoulder, bad neck, and lots of stress at work. none of the initial presenting sysmptoms we there any more apart from a little stiffenss in the shoulder. but she complained on needing to go to the dentist because of self diagnosed upper teeth abcess infection. Now I know that when I treat someone correctly they should not be having infections appearing out of the blue. So I felt in a quandary. Had I made a mistake? then how come the initial symptoms had all gone? I asked the patient to show me her gums and I noted that there was a small tear in the gums between the molars. My patient has diagnosed herself as having an infection because of the pain and discomfort. but she had no symptoms of infection at all:) with regards to gloria 12 Dec. 1926 2-1-6 SP - KID/ BL- LI I found the programs useful but confusing so I developed a calendar to hand out in my workshops for all dates of birth from 1900 to 2017 composed of 3 double sided laminated pages and very clear. for any of you that are interested it is £7.50 in the uk . abroad you'll have to let me know as to country to work out P & P. needles to say this should be done privately. salvador _______________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
