My mother takes Stl. John's Wort and can't get out of bed, she is so dperessed, she signs her emails, VD for "very depressed". It is depressing to get email from her. She does not drink. She won't tke antio-dpressants and says they dont workj fo rher. She blames everyone else for her depression ( her depression is tooxic andd  contagious nd you are probably getting depressed hearing about it.
It does not work for me but thyroid pills help me  alot. ANti-depressants helped me on a part time basis in the past But I as not suicicdal..... when I went off of them I was till  I got an apt.  I was almost homeless or had to give up my perts at one point once. That was devastating.
I have been on a good schedule ever since getting thyroid meds; My thyroid readings were in the normal tange but on the low side.  Normal for some people maybe but obviosuly a problem for me. Low body tmps, hair falling out and suicidal every single morning whenn my levels were at their lowest.  Still most docotrs would not habve nmedicated me. IO found this dog onthe WWW and emailed him first, too. If he had not given me the meds, I'd hve gone else4hwere or to another country for them. I had to rull out my thyroid. But he agreed, But he is a rare doc. You can only fnind this list of docs on "Armour.com" and on "About.com".  Blood tests don't measure you in the morning at 6-7 AM when you see no purpose to lire. They measur you after you've had 3 cups of coffee and protein and sunshine from going to the lab or doctor.
It is an artificial test imho, but it indicates some levels. Mine were obviously not high, but my doc was sharp and let me try "T" meds.  I take a pill called Armour. I never dreamed it would cure my insonmia. My b/f uses the air conditioner all night and lately I've been cold, so My sleep could be better. But Iwill start taking some iron this week too. That also helps me. I'm low on iron too. Been bleeding 25% of my life. It's a reality. Some women bleed a lot. And wonder why they are tired.

you guys started a new group to avoid the flax see guy?...he must
have been awful

oh my goodness....colostomy bags? are they suing? that is horrible.

i am sorry i must have misunderstood you i thought you said you
didn't need an inhaler that you used steroids instead. My husband
used an inhaler among other prescriptions. yuck. so bad for his liver.

oh i see they are different. could you give me a link so that I can
better help people who ask me questions...i keep trying to tell them
to ask their doctor and i still will but it would be nice to know for
fruit loops like me that didn't know that. I wonder why my doctor
never explained that to me or Nick. He just said steroids and I did
some research on them. I do appreciate the doctor though for
thoroughly researching the mangosteen instead of listening
to "negative hype" from those who haven't tried and posted their
opinions on the web. I would love to tell them....take it
consistantly at the right dosage and prove it wrong and THEN you can
write negatively about the testimonials pouring in daily from allergy
and asthma sufferers only on mangosteen extract now. I would even be
nice and not told him told ya so when he came to me to say he was
wrong.....hehehe.

Half of their colons? That is huge. I don't know that much about flax
seed isnt that some sort of herb like oregano....can you tell i am
not a chef...LOL

I didnt' influence anyone to stop their meds. I said that many did
with their doctors help; due to the mangosteen juice xanthones doing
the same function as their meds. I said repeatedly to consult with
their doctor and have him help you to step down safely.

It is not a medicine, it is a food that has powerful medicinal
qualities and big funding is being paid out all over the globe which
is a food (a fruit, peel and seeds) to figure out "why" it is
working ...not to figure out it is working....no side effecs and no
drug interactions yet in 185,000,000 orders from the company that i
buy my husbands juice form of xanthones from.

yes when the funding starts becoming available that will be nice for
skeptics. I used to be one but not anymore. I realize that many are
more skeptical and need to see it in writing rather than try it and
see if it works considering how safe this fruit it (just like an
apple or a potatoe).

I am taking it to as many groups as I can people need to be aware it
is out there and just how safe it is. They deserve to have the
research available which is why i started the yahoo group i am
moderator of . I am also going to post an excerpt of the health
journal in front of me.

And you are right there is a big amount of "quackery going around" i
just read on the enzymes yahoo list that somebody was selling vials
of sugar water he labeled "secretin" i believe...for thousands of
dollars and parents paid it. Yikes. There is 3rd party hard medical
data behind this product. No double blind studies though. I am hoping
those will start popping up soon. I think we are going to have to
wait though as they think they found a cure for liver cancer. One of
the xanthones is consistantly killing liver cancer cells lines in
petree dishes. This is where most of the funding is going right now.
Do you know what this could mean for liver cancer patients? YEAH!!

Thank you for your polite manner in which you replied this time. Take
care and have a great day tomorrow.
