Concepts and Ideas to Treat Depression Naturally

[Guest guest]

***I was being hacked and disrupted during the entire time that the following

material was being posted to the Internet on March 27, 2009. Parties allied with

Big Pharma are doing this, for sure. ***

Introduction

The document following this introduction describes what I had discovered years

ago in regard to treating depression naturally.

This knowledge was actually generated about three years before the 2003 date

reflected on the document below.

I had my first " miraculous correction " of depression by the use of natural

therapies in August of 1999. In August 1999 I resolved a two month long severe

depressive state in a single day. I did this by the use of a high dose bentonite

and psyllium purge, followed a handful of hours later by high dose probiotics

and raw vegetable juicing.

Throughout the fall of 1999, I intentionally induced and then corrected at least

a dozen states of serious depression using the knowledge I had stumbled into in

August. These trials as " a guinea pig for the world " were performed for the

purpose of learning, or for the purpose of validation (as best as I could) of

what I had already learned.

In February of 2000 I added broad based free form amino acids to what I was

already doing to correct depression naturally.

And by April 2000 I had worked out the details of what I was doing to correct

depression in myself to the point where I felt obligated to write Dr. Abram

Hoffer (the longstanding leader of orthomolular medicine, now retired) and tell

him that " I had hit a home run for the whole world " . By this I meant that I knew

that I had stumbled into the most advanced understanding on earth of how to

correct a state of depression naturally (in most so afflicted).

Unfortunately, Dr. Hoffer could not accept what I had to say in the above

regards, such that appropriate action was taken. What I was representing to him,

although I knew it to be true, was just too far fetched for him to believe.

Since April 2000, I have intentionally either induced or aggravated perhaps

close to a hundred episodes of depression in myself, and then corrected them

naturally. My average time of correction of a depressive state in myself is

about a half a day (twelve hours). This is true even for depressive episodes

that are longstanding (months), or are deep enough to involve suicidal ideation.

For over six years I have known deep in my heart that I have learned a number of

things about the correction of depression that are important for the whole

world. I have made repeated efforts to be heard in this regard. However, I have

yet to find the colloboration or support that I seek to see that this knowledge

moves forward as it should.

What I have learned in helping my son Willy to recover from childhood bipolar

disorder improves on what was already a world leading degree of knowledge in

regard to how to correct depression naturally. Willy's baggie of synergistic

nutrients represents a substantial improvement to my prior knowledge. I now use

baggies to treat depression in myself, in combination with a number of gut

correction and dietary measures as discussed in the material below.

I don't have the computer time to write a new document that contains all that I

know of how to correct depression naturally at this point. However, it would not

be that hard for someone to take the knowledge in the document below and merge

it with knowledge contained in some of my more recent material in regard to my

son's recovery (and his baggie of synergistic nutrients).

In my opinion, the merge of Willy's baggie with concepts in the material below

(and some of my other written work) represents the highest degree of knowledge

on the planet in regard to understanding and/or treating depression naturally

(in most persons that are so afflicted).

Hopefully, my son Willy's miraculous health recovery will help the world

recognize " the great healing truths " contained in my prior written work. If the

world " cannot hear my son " as well. then perhaps some day the world will be able

" to hear the man in Ohio " that discovered that what Willy and I were doing to

supplement ourselves could rather immediately resolve the schizophrenic symptoms

of " hearing voices " and " seeing things " .

I pray that someone in this world with adequate means to effect change will read

this material, believe what I am truthfully saying, and then take appropriate

action. (I do not have the means to move the truths contained in this blog

forward, such that they could help millions of persons, as I know they should.)

Concepts and Ideas to Treat Depression Naturally (2003)

By Darman

The following material regards the use of amino acids and other natural measures

to treat depression. Additionally, it discusses concepts that are often germane

to the treatment of a depressive state.

The concepts and approaches suggested in this material certainly do not apply to

everyone suffering from depression. However, many of the concepts and approaches

discussed below may be germane to many, if not most, persons in a depressed

state. These concepts and approaches certainly apply to myself. They have also

applied to every one else that I have treated for depression (admittedly only

about six persons).

Currently the medical model almost summarily uses various antidepressant

medications in to treat depression. Simplistically stated, these medications

operate to increase availability of, or the usage of, certain neurotransmitters

in the brain such as serotonin and/or dopamine. They do so to alleviate the

symptoms of depression.

Many orthomolecular and naturopathic practitioners and books extol the use of

5HTP or the amino acid tryptophan to order to increase one's serotonin level,

and the use of the amino acids tyrosine, phenylalanine, or both to increase the

dopamine level in the brain. They recommend this for the treatment of

depression. Certainly, these amino acids, taken along with the necessary vitamin

and mineral cofactors, do exactly as intended, which is to increase serotonin or

dopamine in one's brain. And certainly, doing so often substantially alleviates

the symptoms of depression.

The substitution of antidepressants that work on the serotonin or dopamine axis

with nutrient precursors that do the same represents " an allopathic conceptual

approach " to depression.

However, depression, far more often than not, is not simply a lack of serotonin

or dopamine or both. This is true even if raising the levels of one or both of

these two key neurotransmitters often brings substantial relief to this state of

mental and physical dysfunction.

Depression, far more often than not, is a broad deficiency state across most, if

not all, of the entire neurotransmitter range... and there are about 100 known

neurotransmitters. Once depression is recognized as such, it is profoundly

treatable in an amazingly short time.

Incidentally, stress is often blamed for the onset of a depressive state. This

fact skews the real truth here. It is simply the fact that stress is very

biochemically depleting, and therefore depression is the end result. A depressed

person is just not getting enough nutrients in which to deal effectively with

stress as a result of malabsorption, an inadequate diet, or both. A nutrient

replete person can deal with a rather inordinate amount of stress, even if this

stress is felt on a chronic basis. However, as soon as a person under chronic

stress falls short in the nutrient department, depression is the inevitable end

result. And despite the same stressors being present, as soon as this same

person under great stress becomes nutrient replete again, they are no longer

depressed in any degree whatsoever. This I know for a fact as a result of

hundreds of informal self trials of inducing and then correcting depression in

myself within the past four years, and as the result of a great deal of research

and other experience.

In my recovery from manic depression, I began to use tryptophan, tyrosine, and

phenylalanine in mid 1997, with very substantial and positive mood effect. I

initially used tryptophan, taurine, and GABA daily for brain inhibition and to

assist with sleep (this regime is very similar to what Ross suggests in

her book " The Mood Cure " ). I also used the key nutrient combination of 500 mg.

of L-carnitine in the morning and phosphatidyl choline throughout the day to

slow the spontaneous rate of neuronal firing in my brain, an effect that was

very similar to lithium. In addition to this, to treat depression in myself I

used both tyrosine alone and/or a tyrosine/phenylalanine combination on a fairly

regular basis from May 1997 until February 2000. The use of tryptophan,

tyrosine, and phenylalanine did substantially help me to alleviate depression in

myself, and I learned a great deal from the use of these amino acids...

I later found that just increasing my serotonin and dopamine levels, as helpful

as this was to my mood and well being for a few years or so, was a rather weak

approach to treating depression in both myself and other persons vs. increasing

the levels of all of my neurotransmitters all at once.

One must realize that out of the roughly 100 known neurotransmitters, 99 of them

are amino acid based, and the key exception here is acetylcholine. Assuming that

all of the vitamin and mineral cofactors are present for all neurotransmitters

to be produced, the entire amino acid range, choline (or phosphatidyl choline,

it's more active form), and L-carnitine (an often key accessory nutrient)

represents precursor loading of the entire neurotransmitter range, for all

ostensible purposes.

In February of 2000, I began to experiment with taking broad based amino acids,

rather than simply taking a few individual ones to treat depression in myself.

Almost immediately, by a process of trial and error, I found that a mixture of

two readily available blends of amino acids, along with added tryptophan,

carnitine, phosphatidyl choline, and vitamins B complex and C, would boost me

out of any degree of depression that I was in and/or keep me out of depression

entirely if I took it in adequate quantity often enough.

Specifically, the two blends of amino acids that I am referring to here are Pure

Form 20 and WAC blend from http://www.jomarlabs.com. After trial and error of a

number of Jomar Laboratories blended amino acid products in early 2000, I

settled on a 50/50 mix of these two specific blends to affect mood change in

myself. These two blends are quite reasonable in cost, reasonable enough for

most persons to be able to afford in quantity. Pure Form 20, which is 20

different amino acids, costs only $11.00 for 125 500mg caps, $38.60 for 500 500

mg caps, and $120.60 for 1000 grams (one kilogram) of powder. WAC blend costs

only $28.30 for 505 450mg caps. or $88.00 for 1000 grams (one kilogram) of

powder. I would commonly get a kilogram of each blend in either powder (the

powder does not taste too good! yuck!) or capsule form and take between 30 and

50 grams or more in total of these blends on a daily basis (15 to 25 grams of

each blend). To these amino acid blends, I would add some tryptophan, for which

I had a prescription, and ALWAYS add carnitine and phosphatidyl choline as well

(if I did not add choline I would get a bit of a headache if I took too large a

dosage of these two blends). I would also always take vitamins B complex and C

at the same time, along with lots of water.

The effect of my using the broad based neurotransmitter precursor approach

discussed above on my mood and well being was, and still is, absolutely

awesome!, compared to my prior approach of just using tryptophan, tyrosine, and

phenylalanine in order to effect mood change in myself.

A crucial catch to my taking amino acids and other nutrients orally in order to

change my neurotransmitter levels was that I had to be adequately absorptive in

my gut for enough nutrients to be absorbed. Being adequately absorptive in the

gut is not always the case in a person that is depressed. The reverse here is

almost invariably true in myself, i.e. when I have become depressed, I am

seriously malabsorptive as well. Depression and a serious degree of

malabsorption are nearly synonymous.

As the result of literally hundreds of informal self-trials since late 1997, I

have found that the absorptive rate in my intestines could, and often did, vary

widely from day to day and week to week,depending on a number of common

variables (and I have become very familiar with them all). I have found that a

serious degree of malabsorption in myself can be rather readily corrected, once

I learned what to do in this regard.

To give the reader a bit better idea here, on a scale of one to ten, I could,

and often was, absorbing a degree of " 8 " one day (good) and a degree of " 3 " the

next (poor), and vice versa. Even a single exposure to a rather small amount of

a food that I was allergic to could substantially impair my intestinal

absorptive ability for days, assuming that I did not recognize this and

intervene. I also learned that if I was bloated in my abdominal area to any

significant degree, it meant that I was malabsorptive to some degree... and that

the more bloated I was, the more malabsorptive I was as well. In addition, I

learned that if I was exposed to a lot of allergic food, that I could quite

easily get to the point where I could not even absorb water well, much less

almost any nutrients at all, until this situation was resolved. And lastly, I

learned how to massively correct my nutrient absorptive rate within a matter of

hours.

Once I learned how to correct my nutrient absorptive rate within a matter of

hours, I could effect absolutely profound change in my mood and well being a

handful of hours after this as well, as I could get a high quantity of essential

nutrition into my body. I have found that it does not take the brain that long

to build a lot of neurotransmitters, once it has adequate nutrient raw material

to work with. Even four or five hours can be extremely significant in this

regard.

Once I put the above concepts together, I realized that I had gained complete

and profound control of any and all states of depression in myself, as well as I

could avoid such states entirely if I so wished to do so. This is a fact that

has been true for over three and a half years. It is also a fact that I fully

expect will remain so for the rest of my life, as long as I have access to the

supplements discussed here (which is sometimes not the case due to inadequate

fiscal means).

I can quite literally correct a state of very severe depression with suicidal

ideation in myself within a single day. I have intentionally induced and then

corrected such a severe state of depression many dozens of times in myself in

the past five years within the timeframe specified. I have also corrected well

over a hundred states of serious depression that were simply not severe enough

to exhibit suicidal ideation during this same period of time as well. These

corrections of depression represent a very profound degree of mood change within

amazingly short time. They also represent a degree of mood change that no one

else in the world is able to perform as quickly as I can in regard to either

them self or anyone else, to the best of my knowledge. I am not stating this for

any ego need; I am stating this because it is the truth.

Incidentally, for over four years I have tried to find some party involved

medical research anywhere in the world that would take a solid look at what I am

doing to treat depression in myself to determine its validity, and then

determine how applicable what I am doing is in regard to other bipolar persons.

As a layman, I am fully aware that my ability to bring forth the many important

truths in this document is almost nonexistent. This entire situation is a real

shame, for in essence it may mean that a number of truly revolutionary concepts

are at a complete standstill in regard to the most effective treatment of a

depressed state in the majority of bipolar persons. However, it is my opinion

that the seeds of truth represented here will eventually move forward, even if

it takes decades in which to do so. These seeds of truth are just much too valid

and far too important to be ignored forever, even if their primary discoverer

was a layperson that had a history of mental illness.

A number of realizations came about as the result of my performing the above on

myself on a repetitive basis over the past four years, as well as my treatment

of a few other persons.

One realization that I had, and clearly the most important, was that the human

brain is far more protein dependent than most persons realize. Everyone knows

that their muscles need protein, but few know that that their brain, as small as

it is, probably needs, uses, and uses up more protein that all of their muscles

put together, despite the fact that their muscle mass is far greater than their

brain mass.

A second realization that I had is that it is often very helpful conceptually to

think of a state of depression as just a protein deficient state that has

" tripped over to the point of body and brain dysfunction " .

The third realization that I had is that when the above occurs (a state of

protein deficiency that has gone too far), it is extremely common for a person

to crave " cheat fuels " such as sugar or alcohol, rather than protein, which is

what they really need. Cheat fuels only make things worse, not better. Often,

just the simple measure of eating a large piece of broiled fish instead of

getting that box of ice cream or that bottle of vodka when you first sink into a

state of depression represents very powerful and effective chemical

intervention. This measure is even much more effective when a powerful digestive

enzyme such as DigestEnz is used to assist in the protein breakdown of protein

foods. EVERY depressed person should be using such a digestive enzyme at every

single meal when they are depressed.

The fourth realization that I had, and one of the many reasons for this post,

was that I realized that the common naturopathic approach of using the amino

acids of tryptophan (or 5HTP), tyrosine, and phenylalanine to treat depression

was a flawed conceptual approach that was probably the result of copying the

medical model approach to depression (which is simply monkeying with serotonin

and dopamine levels in order to alleviate depression, for the most part).

The fifth realization that I had was that I found that other persons responded

to the amino acid blends of Pure Form 20 and WAC in dosages that were often much

different than that which I often needed. I found that some depressed persons

responded quite well to as little as eight grams total (four grams of each

blend) of the two amino acid blends I was using, some responded quite well to

fifteen grams total of these blends, and for some persons fifteen grams total

was way too much, etc.

The sixth realization that I had was that if these amino acid blends were taken

in dosages that were too high for one's biochemistry at the moment, that they

could quite easily become hypomanic or manic on these blends, similar to a

bipolar person taking too much tyrosine, phenylalanine, or aspartic acid at

once. One ALWAYS needs to " slowly dose up " with these blends, being cautious to

not become too manic if they are bipolar (or even if they are " normal " ), the

same as when they are taking tyrosine or other excitatory amino acids. Another

idea that might help here is to add some taurine to these two blends, as taurine

is almost always inhibitory, such that the resultant mixture might be more

balanced in regard to excitation and inhibition.

The seventh realization that I had in taking these two blends and the additional

nutrients that I mentioned, was that the hair on my head grew in both thicker

and faster and that the muscles on my arms and legs both grew noticeably and

became firmer, despite the fact that I was not exercising at all. These were

both unexpected side effects, and most welcome ones.

Protein, in the form of free from amino acids, enormously helps me, both

physically and mentally. Protein, in the form of steak, fish, etc. also helps me

greatly, but not nearly as much or as fast as free form amino acids do. This

appears to be true even though I have recognized and treated a severe deficiency

of HCL (stomach acid) in myself. I need, and I take, as many as 20 to 25 625mg.

HCL capsules when I eat a large meal, and 7 or 8 capsules of HCL for even a

single small can of tuna fish. Digestive enzymes do help my mood and well being

when I eat high protein foods as well, due to the fact that they break this

protein down better such that it can be absorbed into the body. However, the use

of digestive enzymes coupled with eating protein foods does not help me nearly

as much as when I am severely depressed as the taking of amino acids as I am

suggesting here does.

The eighth realization that I had, a realization that came a bit later than

those above, is that it is ALWAYS wise to add fish oil and the other " good oils "

to one's regime when they taking high dosage free form amino acids such as I am

suggesting here. Don't neglect these good oils when you are using amino acids,

and try to take some the same day. The brain is 60% fat, and fat is clearly

important to its proper function.

The ninth realization that I had is that correcting floral status in the gut is

often CRUCIAL to the correction of a state of depression. " Good bacteria " in my

gut does seem to help me substantially when I eat high protein foods. Adequate

good gut bacteria appear to me to play a key role in protein utilization for

reasons that are unclear to me at this time (I use the probiotic powdered Primal

Defense for this).

The tenth realization that I had is that the repetitive juicing of raw organic

non-allergic vegetables ought to always be used to treat a depressive state (and

eat some of the fiber as well, don't throw it all out). Juicing is mineralizing,

it is alkalizing, it is " gut healing " , it does not need either digestive enzymes

or HCL to help someone tremendously (even if they are in deficient in these

secretions), and it contains a powerful array of essential and easily absorbed

nutrients.

The eleventh realization that I had is that alternative medicine is close to

putting together an intervention for depression that would be so powerful and so

fast acting in enough persons that it could revolutionize the treatment of

depression worldwide in a matter of a few short years. Unfortunately, they just

do not realize this at all yet, despite my stating this to many persons in this

movement for the last few years. Alternative medicine did teach me most of the

puzzle pieces reflected in this material. Alternative medicine just has not

coupled these pieces together well such that they can generate the amazing

results that I know from a great deal of experience are possible. In my opinion,

it is only a matter of time before alternative medicine does couple these puzzle

pieces together. As a result of what I know, I am morally obligated to do all

that I can for the rest of my life to be a catalyst in this event occurring.

Nothing that I have done (and I have tried much) has done more for me both

physically and mentally than adequately correcting my gut absorptive status

(within a matter of hours) and taking the free form amino acid blends and the

necessary added nutrients that I have mentioned here have done for me, both

mood-wise and otherwise, or is even close. These necessary added nutrients I am

speaking of here are tryptophan, phosphatidyl choline, carnitine, EFA's, and the

entire vitamin and mineral range for the most part.

Quite obviously, the use of an amino acid such as glutamine can increase one's

intestinal absorptive rate substantially. Therefore some dosage adjustment may

need to be made when preceding the use of broad based amino acids an hour or two

before with glutamine. The use of glutamine to heal the gut and increase

absorption in a person that is depressed is perhaps always wise trial

intervention. However, the use of glutamine, as it increases absorption, will

cause difficulties if the issue of hidden food allergy has not been properly

dealt with. Glutamine can, and often does, result in greater absorption of food

allergens, at least temporarily.

Much less obvious than the above, if not quite rarely known, is that the usage

of a high dosage bentonite/psyllium/water combination prior to taking glutamine

can " unblock " a number of common problematic issues in the intestine within a

matter of hours, and thus allow one to substantially increase their nutrient

absorption rate as well (assuming the use of such a combination is not

contraindicated for some reason). High dosage bentonite/psyllium/water acts as a

" gooey sticky plug " that travels down the intestines, cleaning out a number of

common problematic issues as it does so. This " gooey sticky plug " can, and does,

very effectively remove yeast, many " bad bugs " , undigested food, allergic food

residue, excess mucous, etc. from the gut. In the proper dosage for one's gut

size and gut status, high dosage bentonite/psyllium/water is a gut cleansing

routine that is unparalleled, in my opinion. However, if there is any bleeding

in the stomach or intestines, any ulceration, any serious gut abnormality, any

allergy to psyllium, any severe constipation, and/or any stricture (see Bernard

Jensen's " Tissue Cleansing Through Bowel Management " ) in the gut, the use of

such a gut cleansing routine may be contraindicated.

When I take a high dose of bentonite/psyllium/water to purge my gut, I know that

I am going to need to replace my good bacteria as well. I have found that if I

only wait 4 to 6 hours after taking a very high dose of bentonite, etc. that I

can take an unusually high dose of a good probiotic and experience no serious

die off reaction whatsoever, despite the fact I was high in candida and/or bad

bacteria before I took this cleansing routine. It took me years of playing with

this stuff to really know what I needed to do here, and what dosages, etc.

worked well for me.

I have also found that if I waited until the next day before I took a high dose

probiotic after gut cleansing, that I would get a pretty serious die off

reaction (I reach for high dose vitamin C and lots of water on a repetitive

basis when this happens, and it helps enormously). Apparently, candida and bad

bacteria proliferate very quickly in the gut (I once saw a reference stating

that candida can double in 20 minutes in the gut, and my feeling here is that

bad bacteria can proliferate very quickly as well).

The keys to do the therapy that I am suggesting here effectively are both proper

timing and proper dosage of the substances taken, or for someone to at least be

in " the right ballpark " in these regards. However, there is some latitude for

error here, and this latitude is sometimes quite substantial.

It took me quite some time to work all of the above out in myself. This was

because I was in entirely new and uncharted territory in regard to many of the

concepts and substances used, as well as the dosages of these substances. The

effort I made here was well worth it. I gained a profound degree of control over

depression in myself, after having regularly suffered recurrently from

depression and severe depression for over thirty-five years. It also appears

likely to me that what I am doing to treat depression in myself may ultimately

represent a very important breakthrough in the understanding and treatment of

depression the world over. And yes, I am fully aware that the aforementioned,

despite it most probably being the truth, is perhaps still a decade or two away

from being realized, if not longer. This long delay is due in part to the fact

that there is very little motivation by the current medical model to replace

their current treatment methodology of using anti-depressive medication to treat

depression, as well as there is a great deal of fiscal and other motivation for

them not to do so. This delay is also due to the fact that there is not anywhere

in the world at the current time for a bipolar person " to go be heard by medical

research " if and/or when this person discovers something of substantial

importance about his or her illness.

I do suggest that if you are a practitioner using amino acids to treat

depression, that you consider using ideas similar to that which I suggest here

vs.simply just using tyrosine, phenylalanine, or a combination of both to treat

depression in a person. In my opinion, simply suggesting tyrosine and

phenylalanine for the treatment of depression is quite outdated, despite the

fact that it is still recommended by some persons in the alternative health

movement. However, this is a very simple approach, and it often gives enough

results to get the patient far more interested in using amino acids and other

nutrients to correct depression. Perhaps these are its greatest values.

I do suggest using great caution in the beginning in regard to the dosages

recommended, as well as getting the patient fully involved in this issue of

dosage from day one. The lines " I can give you a great deal of help steering you

in the right direction as far as what nutritional substances to use to effect

profound mood change in yourself, but only you can determine the proper dosage

for your biochemistry " and " dose up slowly, monitoring the effect in yourself,

being cautious to not take too much that you become manic " puts the burden of

" what is the proper dosage? " on the patient, where it should ALWAYS lie anyway.

I also cannot recommend enough that if you are using excitatory amino acids with

your patients that you first assist them in defining an effective inhibitory

nutrient regime for themselves before using any excitatory nutrients whatsoever.

This takes a huge amount of the risk out of the above excitatory nutrient regime

in regard to it's making someone too manic, as an answer will already be in

place for this. This should really be a must. I refuse to teach any person how

to use excitatory nutrients until they learn how to use inhibitory ones,

ESPECIALLY if they are bipolar.

In addition, I highly suggest that before any practitioner recommends the above

to other persons, that they personally experiment with this regime themselves. A

single bottle of 500 caps each of Pure Form 20 and WAC blend costs a total of

only $66.90 plus shipping, and tryptophan, carnitine, phosphatidyl choline and

the other necessary cofactors will not break anyone's piggy bank. This stuff

will not hurt a " normal person " , and it could teach them a great deal about what

amino acid therapy is truly all about.

Never forget the two most common causes of recurrent depression in anyone. These

are the issues of the likelihood of multiple hidden food allergies and the

likelihood of intestinal dysbiosis. Usually when some one has one of these

problems, they almost always have the other as well. These two common

problematic issues always ought to always be assessed and/or addressed in any

person that suffers from either bipolar disorder or recurrent depression. A

possible lack of digestive enzymes and stomach acid ought to be always be

assessed and/or addressed in this population as well, especially if the person

in question is over 40 years of age.

Lastly, I am not representing that a 50/50 mix of Pure Form 20 and WAC blend

from http://www.jomarlabs.com along with added tryptophan is an ideal amino acid

blend for the treatment of depression or anything else. It is simply the best

and most affordable amino acid mixture that I have found to date, without

someone being priced out of the market if they are taking this stuff regularly

in the dosages that I am suggesting here. I am quite sure that, at some point in

the future, someone is going to develop a better, more balanced, and perhaps

equally affordable broad based amino acid mixture for the treatment of

depression than that which I have proposed here.

[After the above document was written in 2003, I continued to learn more. In

2004, I learned that some persons respond better to a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of

Purform to WAC blend vs. the 1:1 ratio suggested in the above material. In 2004,

I learned from my son Willy that it was far better to combine a wide range of

nutrient and supplemental co-factors with broad based free form amino acids, and

" take them all at once " , to achieve the greatest healing effect. In 2004, 2006,

2007, and 2009, I learned a good deal more in regard to adding other individual

amino acids and other supplements to that which I was doing prior. In essence,

as my knowledge grew from the above document in regard to depression that was

written in 2003, finally " Willy's Baggie II " was born.]
