Subject: RE: BS: Chemical antidepressants -- yea or nay?
consult with a naturopathic physician about rhodiola rhodesia..I have started to hear of it..an adaptogen.

Once again, if you do not give your body the right hormonal substrates, which is fat/cholesterol, and if you don't give it the fats to build up cell membranes, in your nervous system and elsewhere, you can count on some problems with something. Read Dr. Mary Enig, Ph.D. in biochemistry and fats researcher. Your ethnic heritage and body metabolism will determine what fats you need. I don't think anyone has quite the answer, but they are saying for people of Russian, Scandinavian, Irish, Welsha nd Native American ancestry to eat a whole lot of salmon type fish and/or take fish oil supplements. We evolved with fish handy and our metabolisms don't take other fats and turn them into the fatty acids we need. Some people do very well with saturated fats; others need less or who knows, maybe none, although I find that unlikely. If you are depressed and watching every fat gram, take a second look at your diet. And get rid of the refined and manufactured foods (except maybe for Coke which is the elixer of the angels). mg
