Here is the problem, while my theory still holds water, there are some things not under a person's control.
In the first year of life the digestive tract is still developing, and people have generally forgotten what to feed themselves, so how can they be expected to properly nourish an infant ?
I believe this causes alot of problems. I stand by the mineral theory, but there are a few caveats. First of all if you did not get the minerals in the first few years of life you suffer, permanently. If your Mother was not nourished properly during gestation, same thing.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have the level of health I have. I seek to explain it, so others may similarly get lucky. Of course there are difficulties. I am also not in completely perfect health but I would not trade my problems for most. I am still trying to figure out a few things, but I am looking at it from a different perspective than most.
Both my Parents lost all their teeth at what I think is too early an age, however my paternal Grandfather kept his for life. The problem here is getting valid data and figuring out what is valid and what is not. Diet is certainly a factor, but in the first few years of life nobody can control it, their Parents do and if they don't do it right, the child will suffer.
I reject the idea that bad teeth are caused by, or before birth, because they aren't there yet. But there is a time in the human life cycle for the teething process and it seems that what happens way back then has a profound effect on the rest of one's life.
I tend to respect and try to use the superior heuristic reasoning of the distant past, because the fact of the matter is, if it didn't work none of us would be here. And one must be ever vigilant to avoid post hoc ergo propter hoc, which for the uninitiated is a latin phrase defining people's attributing an effect to the wrong cause. This is not easy.
I reject 99% of the reasoning and research today. I am also appalled at the TV commercials for drugs. I find it almost amusing when they run an ad against illegal drugs, trying to spur people into turning in those who smoke pot or whatever, and then advertise an anti-depressant in the very next ad. Stay off drugs, wait wait wait, we meant stay off drugs that we don't sell.
Miss, I will admit that some things are congenital, but I maintain that they are still chiefly caused by deficiencies in nutrition, whether is is during gestation or the first few years of life. I regret not having any really effective help for your problems, but I will address the depression.
Let me give you my assertion on the exact cause of depression : LIFE SUCKS.
You see it every day, they advertise anti-depressants all the time. What they call an imbalance in the brain is actually a balance, and those who are happy go lucky are the ones with the imbalance. Their drugs intend to create this imbalance in normal people.
If you are a normal human being you have a certain cohesion to the human race. When you see what is going on in the world, and realize that you can do nothing about it, a form of stress sets in, the worst form. If you got stress on the job you can quit. It might ruin you, but you can do it. But you can't quit life.
I myself, being aware of much more evil in the world than I deserve to be, have times when it just gets to me. But since I was about 12, I learned that the cure is not in a bottle, either of alcohol or drugs. Not that I don't drink or occasionally get high, I am just real about it and I know it doesn't solve anything. It is just a break, like a short vacation. When you come down, all the problems will still be there.
If I choose to anesthetise myself for a time, I do it with full knowledge that it solves nothing. We are still getting raped every day by the gov and the big companies, people are still DEAD and our tax dollars killed them. Things are still going WRONG WRONG WRONG.
There is a mental skill people need to develop that abates depression. Detachment. You watch the news and some scumbag beat a two year old to death, I agree this is very bad and he should be hung for it. But you refuse to immerse yourself in the story.
This is a needed skill because there is one hell of alot of misery in the world. And think about what they DON'T tell you ! Things are really bad, and as long as people keep taking "happy pills" nothing will ever get done. When I decide to get drunk or high, in the morning I still have the same debt, the same problems and the world is just as fucked up as it was yesterday, maybe even worse. Nothing has happened.
But when people take the happy pill every day, I really hope it doesn't work. Feeling the almost pain of the world's wrong, OUR wrongs is what helps us get right. People need to be able to disassociate. It sounds difficult, because it is. But you remember the first time you rode a bike ?
I assert that depression is a sign of intelligence. You are aware of how fucked up the world is. When you were a kid, someone might have said to you "Don't cry". If you found it in yourself to comply, that is what you need now. This is severely underdeveloped in people today. The ability to take strong actions, ones that may even hurt some for the betterment of one's family and community.
The ability to sacrifice one's own well being for loved ones is part and parcel of that. Many good virtues are tied in with that. People with depression need to be educated, to realize that all the world's problems do not fall on their shoulders. People need to be able to be an island at times. People need to realizre that it just isn't their fault, at least them personally. Yes, the problems in the world are caused by people, but what kind of problems did YOU create ?
I used to suffer from depression, and have considered suicide in the past. I had the noose all ready, and I threw my cellphone through the screen of my bigscreen XBR Sony. That was many years ago. I learned to step back and look at things objectively.
Didn't help a bit. What I found out is that there are alot of nasty, evil motherfuckers out there, and alot of them are the pillars of society, business leaders etc. What helps is to get your own self. To get to think about your SELF.
What did YOU do ? Did you fuck anyone over today ? I don't fuck anyone over if I can help it, and I regret it when I can't help it. Those times are rare, and overall I think when I die I will be remembered fondly by those who know me. That is the true measure of a person, the effect of the tiny mark they left in life.
If you focus on that, and quit worrying about everyone else, you don't need anti-depressants. What did YOU do ?
If you suffer from depression. you need a candle. Lock the doors, turn the phone ringer off, take a nice hot bath. Then you (don't buy a huge candle) watch the candle burn down to nothing. Stare at it, watch every minute. You may close your eyes at times if you like, but do not look at anything else.
Do you think of yourself as the flame or the wax ? If you are the wax, you are fuel for the flame, if you are the flame the wax is irrelevent, it is simply your food. If you eat a hamburger, are you concerned about the plight of the cow that was killed to produce it ?
The point of the last paragraph is that you have a right to exist, just like me. It all boils down to controlling your emotions, something at which I am an expert. What I am describing is merely a path to achieving that.
This is not a cure all, there are many other issues. Things still suck, it is all still there in the morning, you can't change it, but you CAN change you. How you look at it, how it affects you. Actually it does not affect you.
To bring that into the forefront, nobody can make you feel anything, with love being the sole exception. You make yourself feel emotions, and you do that based on external influences of course. Realizing that is a big step. Realize that nobody on this planet can make you angry for example. You make yourself angry, nobody else.
This is, in a way, adulthood, it is but one more step. You may take responsibility for your bills, dependents etc., this is just one more thing along those lines. YOU take responsibility for your emotions. And I can PROVE unequivocably that you make yourself feel these things, but that really isn't the subject right now.
There is more. I am fully aware that emotional trauma in the early years can affect a person negatively, and almost permanently. I have a fix for that too, it is called directed dreaming. It is a very profound experince and is not easy to accomplish. If something really bad happened to you when you were a kid, and it pervades your psyche now, there is a way to fix it. Ask, if you need.
As far as allergies, sit down, you might not be able to handle the cure, but it works. It boils down to PUNISHING your body for it's reaction. Like any organism it will change it's behavior.
What I did was to make sure there were plenty of matches in the house. As an allergy attack came, I lit an entire book of matches and inhaled the fumes. I was telling my body "You don't like this, well here's something you REALLY don't like". Tough but effective.
This was 30 years ago, and I doubt I've taken a pill six times since then. Before I adopted that attitude I was taking everything I could find in the drugstore, including this stuff that got me wasted. Well one day it all stopped. We are talking when I was 12 here. Then I refused to eat anything that came out of a can. My view was if you don't have to put it in the fridge I do not want it. That attitude has abated, but I am still very careful about what I eat.
Just so you know, I am a problem solver by nature. OK, I can fix electronic equipment, cars, houses, machinery, all that. But the underlying theme is problem solver. I have been learning it (like a doctor practices) for decades now.
Actually, the depression is the first thing to deal with. The sad do not heal very well. If you have a childhood traumatic experience there is help through directed dreaming. It can take weeks to get it to work, but once it does the effect is quite profound.
But this is all for the depression, some have physical problems. And we have to face the fact that some of them will not go away. But you must become unattached from it. Let it go. This is the way it is. Are you in a wheelchair ? Can you walk, stand, fuck ? If you can, be thankful for that, and not to any God or doctor, to yourself.
I may soon post the instructions for the directed dreaming, but if anyone has really bad issues from childhood, mail me. It is a powerful, VERY powerful tool in training your mind, and I am willing to share it. Once it works, it is a profound experience. This absolutlely stoic Man, one who could look his own Mother in the eyes (who he does love) and blow her head off, one who could actually commit genocide if it would help our country (regardless of the dead babies), one who could do almost anything, who is in such strict control of his emotions, was in tears after this happened.
Directed dreaming is a complex process, but the benefits are staggering.
There are many techniques that help you train your mind. Directed dreaming is not for everyone, I might have to just do a post on that.
This is waaaaay long enough at this point. But let me tell you about training the mind, the benefits are awesome, you will no longer abuse drugs, you will not overeat, you will stop all self destructive behavior. And I embody these results, so just let me give you a bit of background. I luckily have not been caught for many things. I mean arson, almost murder, theft, all that. I don't do these things now because I do not WANT to do thesxe things. And no religion helped me,. I am concerned about the mark I leave on this planet, and with it's people when I am gone. How will I be remembered ?
If you want to take the journey, when you get to that point, I can't really describe how you will be. But you will be better. And really, very few of you all out there has as far to go as I did. So be optimistic.
