The serotonin must be first converted to melatonin, the sleep hormone, and the brain will do this if the eyes and skin are protected from light for about a forty minute stretch. Therefore the room should be completely dark as you enter the sleep cycle for this to be effective. Again in the morning, when your are again exposed to light, the melatonin production gives way to the production of serotonin. These two hormones are the flip side of each other, and interdependent upon each other. rusty - " tev treowlufu " <goraw808 <rawfood > Monday, February 09, 2004 2:08 PM Re: [Raw Food] Depression > Jenny, > > It isn't the potassium that aids sleep induction; it > is the high tryptophan (a type of protein that the body converts > into serotonin--known to help you relax) content in > bananas. > > selah, > > tev > > > > jennysilliman wrote: > Peter-- > This is important.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hello Mahendra, thankyou for your kind message, and for passing on this email. I try not to identify with my negative emotions... I find I am not encouraged to let them out... for instance, on the bus today, a mother was harshly reprimanding her child, and it reminded me of some harsh treatment by my own parents. I would have liked to have let go of this emotion by getting angry and tearful, but of course I felt inhibited. I feel constrained by the emotional repression that most other people live by... The only freedom I can get from this is to go to a small woodland, when there are unlikely to be other people around, and let out these negative emotions. It is hard to stay out long at the moment because it is cold here. I am indeed praying at the moment, and this helps. It seems I have to reach a terrible place of suffering before I can ask God for help. Prayer is very new to me. I am determined to stay on the raw path this time, despite feeling bad. I am hoping to overcome my suicidal feelings, which I believe originate in my early childhood, which was horrific. tonight I will try the mantras that you sent. I want to do this after I have prayed. I have to decided to pray each day for ten minutes, and work up to longer periods. I find it hard to pray, as I am in a lot of emotional pain, and I have to face this in order to pray. thankyou for all your advice, Vlad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Vlad, Dare I step out of raw food (forum pedants please move on) to say that whenever I see persecution of children in public I always approach the parent in question. I often say something like. " You have absolutely no right to address anybody the way you are treating that child and if the child is yours you are a fool because you will simply turn him or her into a worse mess than you are. " Then I pat the child on the back. There are thousands of permutations but they all move the offending parent simply because they are true. I was raised by servants who were losers and I know what a pest they are. All joy and keep eating raw - that way you will slowly lift your soul from depression.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 vlad, if you would like, i've been through some of those emotions you speak of. my saving grace has been able to get those emotions down on paper in the form of poetry. sometimes it helps to face them by looking at them as just words, at least it help me put things in perspective. thank god i'm in a more healthy and stable place now in my life. have no fear, you'll get there, it just takes time and perserverence as cliched as that might sound. i have some of those poems on my website if you feel you might have need of them. just below then click on the word " poetry " on the rose.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi Everyone; I started eating gluten free about 20 years ago. I discovered gluten was causing my body to produce lumps, and sending me into tailspinning depressions. I've been a new person since going gluten free, generally happy and resilient, even developed a sense of humour! At 25, my daughter also undertook a GF diet and experienced similar improvements. However, she recently went through a crisis of confidence and began taking anti-depressants. Concerned, I started reading about them. There is apparently, plenty of reason to be concerned! If anyone is interested in what I found out about anti-depressants, please let me know and I will happily email you the information. What I discovered that may be of interest to this list though, is that apparently, wheat and animal protein both have a negative impact on the availability of serotonin to our brains. As you may know, serotonin is a neurotransmittor that we make in our brains. It has a generally soothing and calming effect on us, is a necessary ingredient in mood regulation, normal waking and sleeping patterns. Apparently, diet has a major impact on the access we have to it. Fortunately for us at least, a gluten-free, low-fat vegan diet is hands-down *The Winner* when it comes to maximizing serontonin availability! Has anyone else on this list noticed a general improvement in their mood and emotional stability after being on a gluten-free vegan diet for awhile?

Hello Deborah, I'm interested in what you found out, my sons doctors put him on anti-depressants when he was 12 years old, he's 26 now and still on those anti-depressants. He would like to be off of those pills but he's addicted to them. I think he may have celiac, I do. When I asked his PCP to have him tested, he said no ( listen to this ) because he doesn't have any of the classic symptoms. I finally convinced him on a new PCP and his blood test is being done in two weeks. Anyways I would appreciate the info you have. Thank You Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I've been doing the gluten free thing for almost 2 years now, and it definitely definitely affects my mood. I had a lot of trouble with depression and could never seem to stay happy for too long before I changed my diet. I have a whole passal of food intollerances/allergies, and if I eat something I shouldn't, it affects my mood then too. I get all irritable and depressed again for at least a day afterwards. I don't know much about this, but I was reading a bit ago about some peoples allergies affecting their central nervous system and causing serious havock with their mood. I figured that's what was going on for me. , Deborah Pageau <dpageau wrote: > > Hi Everyone; > > I started eating gluten free about 20 years ago.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Deborah I found that my depression lifted a bit when I went gluten free but didn't depart until I started taking megadoses of EFA's. I initially started with a vegan DHA and that made no difference at all. A few years ago I saw Joel Fuhrman MD, a nutritional doc, for my rheumatoid arthritis. He told me that many people with autoimmune diseases lack certain enzymes that are necessary to transform DHA into EPA and it appeared that I was one of those people (we did a blood test to check my EFA blood levels and despite heavy supplementation they were low). He switched me to fish oil (5,400mg of DHA and EPA combined per day) and within a few short weeks I felt like a different person. I actually started enjoying life and not feeling like I was being squashed under a blanket of water. Every time I try to reduce my fish oil intake I start finding myself not able to get out of bed in the morning (and I find I get very, very painful breasts). He also has me take a capsule or two of borage oil. Strangely enough, his prescription for people with autoimmune disease is a diet completely free of animal products, except fish oil. I find that my depression also comes back slightly if I eat a low nutrient diet. I have to make sure that every mouthful is chock full of phytonutrients. I suspect that 4 decades of undiagnosed celiac disease caused my intestines too much damage and that I probably will always need more nutrients than the average bear. My daughter drops into the deepest, darkest depression if she ingests gluten, soy or dairy, or if I don't give her her fish and borage oils daily.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I missed the first post, but I wanted to chime in anyway...? I was diagnosed as " Depressed " (even though I didn't feel sad, per se, just stressed).? I took Bragg's liquid aminos out of my diet and things improved greatly!? Even though Bragg's claims to be MSG free, apparently it contains a glutamate that your body converts into MSG (or something).? Anyway, there's a lot of MSG/depression information at www.msgmyth.com All the best!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I was diagnosed as bipolar in my teens and had a lot of ups and downs. Not a single issue since being gluten free. Looking back, I can definitely recall a lot of the ups and downs being associated with various foods. For example, my supposed manic episodes where actually not manic at all. When I ate lots of salads and veggies I felt " high " on life! Lots of energy, creativity, and motivation. When I'd eat junk food which contained lots of wheat, sugar and dairy I felt sluggish, tired, sick, and miserable and didn't want to do anything. Knowing all I know now, I know that I did not suffer from bipolar, but rather an inconsistent diet that drastically effected how I felt and therefore behaved. Looking at my teen self from a 3rd person perspective I can see how my behavior and mood from day to day could have easily been misdiagnosed as bipolar disorder. I would love to read the info you found. I have friends who suffer from depression and bipolar and I'm trying to convince them to help me with a little experiment to see how much food really effects mood. Anybody can try this but if you are on medication don't just stop taking it! That can be dangerous! Talk with a doctor if you want to get off your meds! Note how the meds make you feel if you believe they are an issue and discuse it with the doctor! For the expirament, the first month, don't change anything and keep a journal of everything you eat and how you feel throughout the day. Then for a month only eat healthy foods, gluten free, dairy free, low or no meat, and document the same way. At the end go through the journal and reflect on what foods made you feel great and which ones make you feel blah! Also, at that start, note your overall happiness and contentment with life on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best possible! Then rate again at the end of the experiment and see if there's an improvement. I think a lot of people would be surprised at how much food effects mood! Thanks for starting this discussion! I love conversations like this! It really makes you stop and look and think and become more self aware!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Almost everything we eat contains glutamate. It's a naturally occurring amino acid and the human body needs it to function.
