Do read this very carefully and try and understand the principles behind what is being said . Evaluate all of this info well this info will save you years of suffering ---years if you apply it .. This will educate you on our health care system and its dire limitations All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so. That makes sense right .it costs millions to test and approve treatments because of the possible damage to people.. Drug companies Fund most research and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, --they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential thus your doctor will only recommend therapies with profit in them. Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved needless amputations, needless pain and trauma, and much loss of life. Drugs are not the answer for depression with mind altering chemicals or any other mental illness. This is a fundamental principle and unless you grasp this fully you could /will have years of suffering ahead of you . This does not help you though when you are ill and sufferingnot hearing about therapies which can help from a person you look up to and trust Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, Herbs, Light therapy,Colour therapy,the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy, Electrical Frequency devices. These therapies will work for many complaints of a so called mental nature we have thousands of testimonials and results showing years of successful applications Do this and I will guarantee improvements to you inside a day its that simple, of course getting these things in place can be much harder. Each therapy can have a very beneficial influence on you. Print this all off save it and enact it and share it --- of course someone to help you get these therapies in your life is invaluable but do not be swayed by them trying for short cuts . 1,get someone to massage your back and legs at least 3 times a week use peanut oil or a mix of 50-50 olive and peanut oil. 2 use the violet ray machine an Edgar Cayce device google search this --- 3 times a week on the other days especially on the spine.we use it every day with very positive results 3.get a tent sleep out side 3times a week utilising earth energy - nature can help big time especially with how you feel how much energy you have 4 study and apply good nutrition-- adequate minerals all of them particularly calcium and magnesium iron essential fatty acids omega 3 6 9 protein etc 5 ensure your thyroid is working well 7 ensure you do at least I hr per day some kind of voluntary work when you are able..the reasons you are ill , or poor or have allsorts of bad things happen to you is because of karma -----usually from past lives but some from this one voluntary work will offset your mistakes--- how much it offsets well that is down to god and how much you do. Healing us is in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others achieve theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot of us are already doing being of service. 8 be amongst people who are giving, friendly who have time for you who love you , choose your friends well 9 be or get to a place which personally love or like 10 get and do some work which you like or love 11 ensure you do no acts which hurt or inflict on anyone dont want to add to your karma do we !!! 12 spiritual healing yes and reiki -. 13think good positive thoughts, laughter, look at comedy, play good uplifting music, 14 avoid at all costs exposure to violence, murders, suffering ,death ,tragedies, -feed upon good things uplifting things, things that feel like a breath of fresh air.. 15 Positive affirmation- thats right programme your self in the mirror , thoughts are things words are things actions are things , all have influence, few people realise these things can have an effect on themselves . 16 a detox ------ toxins can influence how you feel big time 17 hugs get plenty of them in your daily life you would be amazed at how people feel after a few decent hugs. 18 loads of exercise running walking climbing but something which you enjoy 19 rid yourselves of all aspartame laden foods and drink and many additives get back to a wholesome organic diet diet A total cure however is tied up with karma so you can imagine just how important is the voluntary work."

Tamara replied: "I m not a doctor but I think that Celexa will help you manage your depression which will then help you manage your weight. Often, our emotions are connected to our eating and some times can lead to us abusing our bodies by either over eating or under eating. Also, when you feel depressed you might want to go for a walk or join a woman's fitness center. I say take the dosage and slowly get back into an exercise regimen. I doubt if it ll make you gain weight. The probability is low; if anything it should help you lose weight because you ll have more energy by being less depressed. Talk your doctor and seek more then one opinion if you are skeptical. Good luck and God bless."

Lue R replied: "Hi I don't have an answer for you my doctor just prescribed 20mg for me. I feel a little drowsy. I believe I will be taking this at night. My drug sheets that came with the medicine stated a possible side effect of weight-loss. However, several websites that I have read state that they will cause weight-gain. Good Luck on it. !!!!!"

btokatsh replied: "NO i've taken it before and am about to try it again, just watch out.. it makes your inhibitions go away and you get very very happy and forget to watch your diet because your mood changes from "woe is me" to "woooah let's party" ... just watch what you eat or you will gain wt. its not that it increases your appetite, its that you just do what you want because you feel so free, and if you want to eat u will, and possibly over indulge"
