Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Another question, Vegan gurus. I've had some depression issues with all of the cancer issues I've had. It's a famous problem in our family. Instead of one quadrillion psychotropic drugs that doctors want me to take, are there foods that will aid me in this (non-high caloric?) St. John's wart does not work. Herbs do not seem to help. I've got to cook everything I eat because of bowel issues. Tough questions, huh?
