Dr. Fernandez the nutritionist that practices with Dr. Yachter my chiropractor in Lake Mary about 25 miles north of me here in Orlando. I started with the nutritionist because the chiropractor suggested that I do so. I started the chiropractor on November 18th, 2009, my 54th birthday.
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.

Cilantro and Chlorella
Cilantro is a herb that is used in many spanish/latino dishes. But it is a powerful detoxifier of mercury and other metals from the body. Metal toxins cause inflammation which causes depression. Also metal toxins cause vision problems and headaches.
Chorella is a fresh water algae that chelates, or binds to metals in the body and helps to push the toxins out of the system.
Used together, these two are very powerful in pulling these metals out of bone, connective tissue, muscles and into the blood then into the elimination system.
Filtered Water and plenty of it to wash away the toxins. Also pay attention to getting the solid waste out. Do this with glycerin suppositories. People can use any good laxative that works for them. Glycerin suppositories work under an hour. It is done and over with.
A good read is the following link http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2174137/cliantro_for_mercury_and_heavy_metal.html?cat=68
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt's video which is mentioned in the above link is proof positive about the cilantro/ chlorella connection.

Letter to Edna
Thanks, I hope you mailed it to John's address. She will get it sooner than if to her own address.
I am still finding things that I am allergic to. I have a appointment with a nutritionist in a couple of weeks . No insurance for that. So pray it is money well spent. Cassie went to the same person and it helped her anxiety.
Work is finally picking up somewhat. Scary for a while. I am cooking for myself whole unprocessed foods and have completely changed my diet.
List of foods that I am allergic to or am sensitive to
Milk, eggs, soy, gluten, yeast, artficial sweetners, sugar, sugar alchols tomatos, cilantro.
I have a lot of inflammation in my body form all the allergies. I have read that mercury and heavy metal posioning can cause many allergies. This nutritionist can do a heavy metals toxicity panel on me. Or at least give me more info on the problem and how to deal with it.

Went off cholesterol medicine
The last time I had my cholesterol checked I was really doing well with it. This was in September sometime. I then read that statins prohibits the absorbtion of CoQ10. CoQ10 is good for the heart and the brain. So I went off the statin drug simvastatin and started taking CoQ10. In about two weeks, maybe 2.5 weeks, depression set back in. Cholesterol medicine lowers inflammation in the body. Inflammation causes depression. I did not know this about how the cholesterol medication worked until a couple of days ago. Apparently I am still loaded with inflammation. I will continue to work on this through change of diet. And going back on the cholesterol med.
Tumeric, Zyflamend and Bromelain, for supplements
I have been eating small ammounts of cheese as well and mayo. I am allergic to both. Also I probably have metal toxicity. This alone would cause a high level of inflammation.
I also stopped taking the probiotic and digestive enzyemes that I had been taking. I am on them again. These probiotics and enzyems help digestion and lower inflammation.
Now for food I will use tumeric to put into foods. I will continue to research this.

I have eliminated many foods
Over the past weeks I have eliminated many foods. Gluten, milk, eggs, soy, sugar, aspertame and sugar alchol sweetners. I know that a certain diet will not cause a reaction. Nuts, berries, fruits in general. Rice.(I am allergic to nuts, seeds, and rice as I have learned of late 8/26/11-editor) Spinach, collards, raw vegtables. As I go off these allergins I have itchy skin, headaches and in the end I notice less depression and anxiety. I have made mistakes and have paid for them. But to know that it is food that is largely causing the problems is amazing. ( I have mold problems-editor)
I feel at this time that everything in my system is messed up and has been for a long time. I am trying to fix digestion. I am also trying to detox at the same time. Just these two things. I know that I have eaten something wrong when I wake up with itchy skin. But this is good because my body is throwing off the toxins. But at least now I know what is causing the problems. Before I thought I was hopeless. No doctor in the history of all of this would tell me that it may be allergens. All this pain and doubt of my own sanity because doctors wanted me to just take the pills and keep coming back to get more pills. If I could sue I would. I just want to make some sense of this and start to get better.

Back on paxil
Well, as the header states I am back on Paxil. Intense anxiety and an increase in sluggishness in only four days. So I am forced back to the drug level that I was at. I have in the past tried to go off paxil as well as the other drugs and have ended up in the hospital. Right now I as so drowsy that I can hardly type this message. But I will continue to push through until I get back to where I was before I started to reduce the Paxil.
Since this has happened before, where I try to go off the drugs and fail, I have to develop a kind of patience. I start with frustration. Then anger, and in the past hopelessness engulfs me. Then the drugs bring me back and I try to remain level emotionally. I know this UltraMind program is a key because I do feel better now after seven weeks than I did before. But I can't go off the drugs. Not yet anyways.

Dr. Mark Hyman is the Man!
I started the UltraMind solution on July the 4th, 2009. The first thing I did was eliminate the gluten out of my diet. Energy started to surge into my everyday activities. I made some mistakes, most out of ignorance of just what foods had gluten in them. Then one by one I found that I had allergies to milk, eggs, soy. The energy and focus got greater. At the same time I concentrated on getting my digestive track realigned and success was at hand. I took probiotics to help clear up digestion. Liver support to detox the body. I am today starting to go off of my paxil. We will see. The VNS implant is starting to hurt even in sleep.
