Pfeiffer and depression

[Guest guest]

I don't mind sharing but would not recommend that anyone try this without being tested. The Pfeiffer Clinic does individual tests for biochemical imbalances. They test hair, blood and urine. They have become familiar over the years with a number of different biochemical imbalance types, each of which can cause depression. In my case, they found a zinc deficiency, a copper/zinc imbalance, elevated histamine and some evidence of elevated heavy metals. Elevated histamine is a marker for under-methylation. High histamine persons are prone to depression due to low seratonin levels, but tend to respond well to SSRI antidepressants. (However, the Pfeiffer Clinic has found that

some people suffer depression because they are over-methylated, so one size does not fit all.) The individually compounded supplements for me included: Vitamin C, B6, E, Biotin, Methyl Cobalmin, Niacin, Chromium, Methionine, Magnesium, B1, B2, B5, Zinc, Manganese, Beta Carotene, Molybdenum, Selenium and Vitamin D. For those of you who are biomedically trained this may be helpful. The Pfeiffer Treatment Center is associated with Health Research Institute. I assume they share their research results with other practitioners. The web site is www.hriptc.org.Hope this is helpful.To:

-- what did Pfieffer have you taking? You can email me if you don't want to post on the list. I ask because someone I know in another country with no access to DANs (yet with access to supps via internet) has asked what non-drug remedies work for adults. Did they draw blood to determine regimen? > Too often, he claims, people think anti-depressants are> the only answer. "I think the medical establishment we're presented with, it's a> system," said the comedian. "They're taught a

certain thing. There is> drug company

money that goes into the educational system. I'm saying> you have to look outside that, and consider the other possibilities> for people." In the end, he said, "It's important that there are alternatives. "> THIS I think is the most important statement - he's not outright saying it, but seems to be implying that the entire medical field is brainwashed - not just the small "autism (sic) treatment" field. This is important and needs to get out there. Not just with reference to autism, or depression, but with reference to Alzheimer's. I often wonder, only half-jokingly, when Dr. Jaqueline McCandless is going to write a new book called "Old People With Starving Brains" - or something more politically correct than that.> > Dr. Buttar has apparently said that Alzheimer's and autism are essentially the same thing. The same kinds of metal toxicities show up in both, the same kinds of

supplements can help, neuro-inflammation is turning out to be a big issue in Alzheimer's (Dr. Tobinick's findings with peri-spinal Enbrel treatment really bolster this argument). Autism is not the only thing set to take an enormous and painful bite from the national healthcare pie - so is Alzheimer's.> > Jim>
