1.5HTP 4 x a day
2. Inositol
3. Folic acid or vit B9
4. Safron 15mg twice a day
5. Sam E ? 200 - 800mg per day
6. St John's wort - 300mg 3 x a day for mild depression
7. Omega 3 fatty acids and vit
200$ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you is crazy
@@plroy8732 200$ or kill yourself? Id pay 200 to stay alive. Bought SAM-e and Black Seed oil and safron. One has to help. Worth every penny though no matter what.
@K. Ahmed I'm taking Now 5htp with no results....which brand of 5htp has worked for you ?
don't mix 5-HTP with St. John's wort!
Better than feeling like death
I am glad Dr. Marks at least talks about nutrition and natural options. That is rare for a psychiatrist. Most of the time they do not even suggest getting tested for ANY deficiency, much less discuss potential natural options. They usually just want to prescribe Lexapro or Zoloft and send you on your way. Thank you Dr. Marks for giving a balanced view of these options.
Yeah real talk
If you're watching this video and feeling like you're at the end of your rope, please know that you're not alone. It's okay to reach out for help, whether that's through therapy, medication, or just talking to a friend. It can be a long and difficult journey, but there is hope and healing on the other side. Thank you to the creator for sharing their story and shedding light on this important topic.
I'm a bit skeptical about using mushrooms to treat mental health issues, but Dr.healingstrain's research is convincing me to give it a try. I'll definitely be looking into their products more.
Dr.healingstrain is one of the most innovative mycologists out there. Their work with psilocybin is truly inspiring, and I'm excited to see what they do next.

“I aint takin’ NOBODY’S medication”... 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard at that comment was so unexpected
I was cooking and I burst out laughing 😂😂😂but I get it , I too avoid prescriptions
Ain't no body got time for that!!!!!!👊🏿
@@brownpunk1794 Maybe that's the problem. Take your medicine only prescribed by your DR. That is my point.
Sounds like someone Dr. Marks knows personally. 😆

Taking these 4 supplements helped reduce my depression considerably:
1) Vitamin B9 AKA Folate
2) Vitamin B12
3) Vitamin D
4) Magnesium
I wish everyone luck in their fight against depression
Which magnesium and how much? How long did it take for you to notice?
@@MamaInTheMitten Magnesium 500 MG, I took 20 pills
Magnésium=banane.. vous perdez votre argent
Thankyou for sharing
@@DISTINGUISHED.GENTLEMAN.how much did you take of other vitamins
This lifestyle we're leading is leading us off a cliff.
We need community, support, structure, love...and to go back to the old ways. That's why none of this stuff works, nature and the world is trying to tell us something but we don't listen.
They won't listen to you though. Materialism is the new way of life.
@@pqt112 it's a shame as no materials can ever match a feeling of belonging or love!
Amen 🙏🏽 and GOD 1st, praying with supplication and fasting in Jesus name!! Holy Spirit power is what’s necessary to beat depression, especially in this New Age world 🌎 because spiritual warfare is Real! Take care, God Bless in Jesus name ♥️
I believe you so much
Preach!
She's so real and down to earth. Really enjoy her informative videos. Thanks Doc.
Yeah I agree. 🧡
She's wonderful!
I love reading the comments here, the viewers are supportive, kind and appreciative. Thanks for making this digital community happen Dr.Marks!
AGREED!!! TY ALL !!!
I just wish we all could like make a group chat and talk to eachother when we go through shit and become friends
Knighthgod
I agree. Would u like to chat sometime?
I’ve actually taken all of these listed with success. Usually on the lower dosage end. I definitely notice a mood difference between taking it and not taking it. The thing I had to do was experiment with them to discover the best time to take it. Also after having eaten or not eaten plays a part. They seem to be more effective on an empty stomach.
If you’re taking regular prescribed medications please be careful if you decide to start St John’s wort. It a drug that interacts with a LOT of medicines so check with your pharmacist to see if it interacts with your regular meds
👍🏽
For example, it reduces the effectiveness of oral contraceptives.
Glad you point this out for people. I made that mistake when on antidepressants from my doctor 👍
Also, take care if you take medication for HIV or wanna use PREP.
It gave me nausea
God has sent me to your channel, thank you so much.
You’re welcome Julisa. I’m glad He sent you here.
there is no god for depressed people...we are fighter and we know real meaning of lyf...
@@manin5082
Did her information help you. I was thinking of trying inositol? Praying you found relief 🙌
thank u god
the kind of music that touches your soul is the best medicine, got through the hardest time in my life by using music to express my internal pain of that era and was able to heal after getting all that emotions out
i suffer from depression a long time ago. maybe 10 years . i take antidepression for 5 years but since 4 years i take saint jhon's worth it is really a magic traitment .
Dr. Tracey, you're always THE BEST !
I also take Ashwagandha which is a nootropic, anxiolytic as well as an adaptogen plus, with Withfarin A and it's anticancer and weightloss effects, I've had my Circadian Rhythm back to the clock. It does take a month to show it's effects though. It increased my testosterone to 1103 mg/dl as well. I've been on battling my depression and I feel very relieved.
You're absolutely amazing and help a lot of us and thank you for that. Big cheers from India 🇮🇳
This is THE best channel for mental health and mental illness education
Myo-inositol i was taking for PCOS & noticed a DRAMATIC increase in my mood and being happier after about a week of taking the capsules so i agree with the inositol suggestion.
how much do you take?
Been doing Omega 3 fish oil 2000 mgs a day and a vitiman D suppliment for 3 weeks after getting off wellbutrin for an anti depressant which had hideos side effects. Feeling i believe better and added ONE cup of caffinated coffe in morning seems to be helping also
I need to get off WEllbutrin for the same reasons….were you able to stay off of it? Did the EPA continue to help?
@@dearquan what?? Did ugly rashes???
@@dearquan no
Wellbutrin is giving me heavy anxiety I need to get off it as well
Doctors need to ascess why people are depressed first.
To be fair, you should do a run down on all of the negative side effects of pharmaceutical drugs too, even if its just to provide balance.
Sides effects are different from person to person
Jokes, Detox the mind from within with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety. For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Day or night, when taking a walk, when reading, when on mobile, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
Ma’am I just found you here on RUclips and I’m hooked! Just subscribed and love this video! Thank you 🙏🏽 😎
Awesome! Thank you!
I love listening to you speak 🤗
it is hella relaxing
some products of 5-HTP like natrol product has slow release effect, it lasts for 10-12 hours and it works like a charm, I use it and it's lovely
Mine that I got and from what I’ve read recommends once a day and I take at night. You have a recommendation for when and how often?
I agree. Even a non slow release brand has a noticeable effect for me. It worked much much better than prozac. And I usually only take it once a day at night. It does make me sleepy and sometimes have more vivid dreams. Sometimes I add a morning dose (you should really take on empty stomach), but then have coffee after an hour or so. Two big pluses: it starts working almost immediately, and will not cause weight gain.
Do you get nausea?
@@avill012 no,that hasn't been a problem. A cool thing is that you should know within just a few days if it's helping you or not, and if it bothers your stomach. No need to taper if you want to stop, just stop. But be very careful and check with a your prescribing doctor if you are already on antidepressant medication. A good reference on this and other amino acid therapeutics is The Mood Cure. By Dr. Julia Ross.
@Zafar Khan I found it very helpful and I know others who have as well, and none of us were helped by ssris. Prozac made me numb and fat. There's no harm in trying it out if you're not on antidepressant medication already. I have never had side effects, though Dr. Marks mentions nausea here. You should read up on it...highly recommend Dr. Julia Ross on this.
Wow… thank you. I just bought St. John’s wart and I took 2 tablets today and I already feel giddy and happy. You’re the best !
Did it continue to work for you?
One natural cure for depression is human contact as well. Just saying like a hug or something sometimes.
Deborah, Detox the mind from within with a simple practice. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety.

Human contact is usually pretty annoying. And that’s depressing.
Deborah, if you think a hug is going to cure depression, you had better be very thankful you have no idea what debilitating depression is.
@@nancyskinner5207 If physical health is affected a combination of medication and meditaion is needed. Avoid benzos. Read my msg which I sent you and do the simple practice regularly. In life there are only 2 problems--mind and the body. Take charge of these and life is fun. Since many years I have made it a habit to observe my breath sensations even during my normal activities with eyes open or closed and I am feeling relaxed and healthy. Read my msg and do the simple practice regularly to develop your mental muscles. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within. Strictly avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir-Counsellor.

Superb! This is is what a real doctor sounds like! Hooray for freedom of choice in medication!!!
"You never Wanna need to say that!" 😆 And, " nobody wants to do that." That is why I watch til the end. 😁🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Dr. Tracey. Our family has benefited much from your channel!😊🙌
Thank you for your excellent videos, Dr. Marks. You are incredibly well-spoken and you break down the details beautifully for the layman.
Thank you so much Stu357! I appreciate that. 🙂
Thankyou Dr Tracey Marks, This video arrived at the right time, just as I have been having a bad episode of PTSD, due to having an eye op' last week. Have decided to tackle the effects with a dietary approach. Plenty of oily fish & greens & carrots, eggs & peppers, plus very high cocoa chocolate, walnuts & pumpkin seeds. Unfortunately lots of things good for gut health seem to be high in FODMaPs so I am constrained by that.
It would be absolutely fantastic if you could do a video aimed at helping people on the low FODMAP Diet improve their anxiety & depression. There is a lack of information & advice for people with this difficulty. All the best.
Every try healing gut with vit U? Its in cabbage. Saurkraut it good for guts.
@@jcresmond1653 Vitamin U? Thats a new one. Might try sauerkraut again. Thanks.
Sam-e, omega3 and V.D3 helped me the most
🙏❤ "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions and /(or your trauma). Small people always do that. But the really great ones, they make you believe that you too can become great/ (or overcome your trauma)." -Mark Twain
I take many supplements, you haven't mentioned Niosine, in a moderate does each and only as add on to my meds. It's a big help. My doctor and I both see the difference, for the worst, when I stop. I wouldn't choose natural over meds, but they help to keep my does steady and help my sleep medication too. It's important not to go overboard, even as add on, I found the hurd way.
Thank you doctor. Carring is a very welcome surprise.
I made research online a few years ago based on the fact that I was also dealing with mental health issues of this kind. It made it clear with a lot webpages I was reading that all of these things are subject related to deficiencies of vitamins especially B complex, minerals, even iron,, we always got to ask our physicians to do lab work to find our deficiencies, mines was vitamin D. Believe me certain physicians really do like to pretend they're clueless on this, believe me, meds only add more side effects to our consistent issues ongoing I dont want to deal with!
Thank you very much
You’re welcome. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Many thanks, been searching for "activities help depression" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Hanincoln Nanlivia Framework - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover curing depression without drugs try Elumpa Cure Depression Alchemist (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my colleague got great success with it.
st john's wort has enough evidence to make it a very reasonable medicine to try. I sometimes suggest it to some of my patients as a psychiatrist, but usually only if they are on no prescription meds, as it interactions with the liver in a way that can make it dangerous if you are on blood thinners, OCPs, etc. Besides that though what is not to like? Meta anayleses suggest it is as effective as SSRIs for mild to moderate depression with usually NO sexual dysfunction, which is the #1 reason people stop SSRIs.
I'm on the road of St. John Wort. Hoping for the best
Fingers crossed 🙂
Any update?
An updates boi
Updates?
It helps.
What about TURMERIC ?
Exercise works for me. Nothing else does
Morbidly depressed people can't even find the energy to get dressed, though.
5-HTP worked really well for me, but had to stop due to an obscure medical condition (prolactin related). Great video, as always.
Can you share more? Did it increase you prolactin levels? I struggle with milk supply (and depression) so would welcome increase in prolactin levels!
@@chocolatekay66 All I can say is that 5htp is known to increase it - but you'd nee tto check with a medical profesional if you're breastfeeding.
L-theanine, slow release 5-htp, St. John Wort tea (2x a day)
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else needs to find out about can you cure depression try Elumpa Cure Depression Alchemist (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
Using mushrooms for bipolar and I'm great. 5htp works great too. Good food. Sunshine. Walks
Also weed. This is vital. Some people find acid helps. Any psychedelics are great used with intention and not randomly.
St. John's Wort is a great replacement for antidepressant and it's natural and is in capsule form and a tea
Thanks for your input. Yes St. John’s wort has a lot of research behind it as well
Thank you for your knowledge and the time you put in making these videos and saving lives!!!
Mark05 ??? I have never heard or seen this. Where did you discover this?
Food should be good enough to go but the other buggers are questionable.
What about l tyrosine
I thinks it's saffron stigma, not stigna. The stigma is the part of the flower where the pollen grains have to land in order to pollinate.
I know that taking Taurine has really helped me out
I tried creatine but my stomach didn't like it- or my skin- or any part of me really
@@JakeIsLearning Just eat the occasional grass fed red meat for your creatine supply.
@@DaRyteJuan I'm vegetarian now haha
Taurine is good for all brain issues.
A place that has an active wind helps with depression tremendously. Open your windows and let fresh air circulate throughout your home. The fresh air is so good for you.
i'm just waiting for spring to get here in upstate N.Y.!
Thank you so much doctor Tracy Marks. You have encouraged me to seek for a psychiatrist or a psichologist that really knows what their talking about and really wants to help me get better.

Ive suffered all my life with bouts of clinical depression and anxiety, antidepressants have worked in the past but this time i couldnt cope with the vivid nightmares.. So im drug free at the moment, but each day i tell my self to get up, shower take the dog out for a walk no matter how bad I feel. Mornings are worse but evening it seems to ease... Im going to add some vitamins to my depression and anxiety fight list and see if it helps. My Calm app really helps with meditation, sleep and grounding techniques. Also
Catching the negative thoughts can give you some control tell them.. Stop im not listening to you stupid thought, even try to laugh at yourself for them slipping into your head, their just thoughts which give you feelings.. Its hard but keep going.

I used Ashwagandha and Bladderwrack and it worked in a little over an hour I was feeling better
L methylfolate is sold online. 7mg to 15 mg is the dose for major depression. I’ve been doing research about it so I’m going to try it. Takes about 2 months to see results, I’ll see what happens.
Thanks for this info 😊
how did it go thank you!
Hey Tracy! Thanks for your videos. Simply love them!
As far as I know the serotonin hypothesis was rejected in the 1980s. There are studies that show that the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft has nothing to do with actually suffering from depression or not. Plus, it’s not connected to its severity, that is very low concentration equals severe depression. In fact, these studies don’t even see that there is such a thing as a „normal“ or average concentration.
What do you make out of that?
Best, P.
I'd also be interested in a response to this question!
Gas and Mania sounds fun at a party or church or....whatever!
🥳🥳🥳
hell yeah
Lmfaoo stop!
If and when you fall in love, may you be happy with her. I don't need to wish her anything, for she'll be happy with you. May your sky always be clear, may your dear smile always be bright and happy, and may you be for ever blessed for that moment of bliss and happiness which you gave to another lonely and grateful heart. Isn't such a moment sufficient for the whole of one's life?
SAMe has been working very well for 6 months, I had seen it at the store but your mention of it got me to try it so THANKS A MILLION!!!

How informative! With convincing authority!
I'm so glad I found your channel, Dr. Tracey. I just subscribed. Thank you very much!
Thanks Rafael. Let me know if there's a specific topic you want me to talk about.
Dr. Tracey Marks thanks Dr. Tracey. It would be interesting a video about social phobia. Thank you again and I love your voice 😍
LOL thanks Rafael. I was planning on making a relaxation audio download for an upcoming video. I haven't committed to it yet, but now that you say this, I'll try a little harder to pull it together. I'll see what I can come up with on social anxiety. Thanks for the suggestion.
Dr. Tracey Marks 🙌😄😍😘💕💞
A five mile run, a daily program that is non-negotiable, and a noble deed done for someone less fortunate than one's self.
Telling depressed people to run is about as effective as telling the Pope not to be Catholic.
Thank you for putting on this vid. I just started 5HTP and Mental Sunshine” which is a concoction.
I believe in taking prescription meds, but those type of meds make my anxiety and depression spiral, not to mention horrible side effects. I can't see myself returning to work if I continue to take the prescribed med for a month or two. Nausea, vomiting, splitting headache. My work position is very demanding on the body. Loads of walking. Movement. I actually tried Sam-e and it's been 4 days, but already sleep better and have much more focus. I can take nausea as a side effect of the AD, but can't take dizziness, headache, everything heightened,muscle cramps,extremely high blood pressure and heart rate, etc. It just does a severe number on my anxiety. It would be nice if doctors actually made a prescription meds for mental illness with least amount of side effects. Safe for those with heart condition, thyroid, cancer. Also, don't makes your immune system go down.
Thank you for bringing this up. It is heartwarming to a psychiatrist with an open mind, who is not against taking these types of meds.
Folate (natural) vs. Folic Acid (synthetic) 😍
The folic acid has to be processed to become L-methylfolate which is the active form.
It's not always a matter of choice. BTW: People who don't tolerate the 5HTP supplement could try taking L-Tryptophan.
Thanks Simon de rycke.
I tolerate better tryptophane than 5htp but can not take a lot
L-Tryptophan if you want to sleep.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B-3): "A number of practitioners have observed that supplementation with large doses of niacinamide can relieve anxiety in some patients. This anti-anxiety effect is presumably pharmacological, since patients who improved typically did not appear to be deficient in B vitamins, and “nutritional” doses of niacinamide (such as 20-100 mg per day) were of little or no benefit. Niacinamide in doses ranging from 500 mg twice a day to 1,000 mg 3 times per day is beneficial for some patients with anxiety, including patients with anxiety related to alcohol abuse.".
"It appears that niacinamide has therapeutic effects comparable to the benzodiazepines, a class of medications commonly used for the treatment of anxiety disorders. Niacinamide’s therapeutic effects are likely not related to it acting as a ligand for the benzodiazepine receptor, even though it acts centrally and might have a weak binding affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor. Both the benzodiazepines and niacinamide exerts similar anti-anxiety effects through the modulation of neurotransmitters commonly unbalanced in anxiety."
She forgot nature and human connection. 100% effective.
And exercise!
Human connection can be very draining specially when you try to connect with the wrong person.

until you suffer from it you'll never know!
Look at ct scans, they're pretty crazy!
I thought according to some studies St Johns Wort can be effective for some people with moderate depression when dose is increased to 600mg 3 times a day and even some severe cases when increased again to 900mg 3 times a day.
Note. Studies should allow for increased dosage in line with severity of depression.
5-HTP
The word " natural" is overused and misunderstood.
I'm glad you have explained what drug is.
I wish, people understood that the most toxic poison per weight, botulinum is natural!
All toxic plants in our garden are natural too.
So, this word is very misleading.
Thank you for your program.

Norwegian people are oft considered the "happiest" on earth: I think all the fish they eat is partly the reason

@@Zezeguizee Good to know!
Am not eating any med I have been depressed so badly but I know I was lonely and life was stagnant with me so I try so hard and changed so a bit better now
@Lauren steven ok thanks but I don’t really want any med for it
St. John Worth gave me mania and I almost ruined my life. Be careful with it and its dosage. Monitor yourself 👁👁
I drink saffron- tea and find it helps against brainfog. I now only use 8-12 small saffron-threads in hot tea a day (tastes better to make two cups with half the dosage in each) when I feel the need. And I don't do it every day. I had no idea it is an anti-depressant. For me what finally cured my depression was to stop using wireless technology (I use wired etehernet-connections) and to move to an appartment with no smartmeter and low mobile phone reception. I have also started to turn off the power in my bedroom before I go to sleep, which seems to have cured some chronical pain problems in my legs and feet. Quality of sleep is so much better.
i sleep in my living room on the floor very close to my internet modem i will start turning it off tonite to see if it helps my depression thanks for the info!
@@healthyone100 Good decision! I hope it will work for you as well.
That dude is me! I'm not taking nobody's medication!
I was taking St. John's wort in past and it's really great, helped me a lot.
For how long did u take? is it good to take if u don't have depression, just for fun? Any side effects u had?
Folic, Saffron, St. John Worth, Omega-3, Vitamin D got it
I take l-theanine & gaba but the downside is I can only take it before bed because it makes me sleepy
Taking theanine with a caffeine supplement or caffeine works synergistically. They seem to work best together as it brings on a calm focused mood without being jittery or sleepy. Of course that is if you’re now caffeine sensitive.
I have to say that I really love and appreciate all your videos. Thank you for sharing Dr Marks !
What about the natural form of lithium?
Its apparently super affordable and no side effects
Dr. John Gray uses it himself and highly recommends it
It has possible effects like anything.
It gave me serious problems with kidney stones.

I look forward to view more videos and to be more educated on questions I still have about mental illness and willing to try any and all methods. Because I don't want to take NO medicine! Oh, that is very cool shirt! 🌹
How do you feel about taking b12 and antidepressants? The antidepressants cause me to have memory loss and I zone out a lot.
Maybe you should find a new antidepressant. That sounds bad.
Try out st. John's wort it's a natural herb. It work almost like the antidepressants but with out the side effects of it.
In some parts of US everyone is vitamin d deficient 😂 I was put on a really high once a week prescription before because my regular blood work showed I was so low. It helped with depression and fatigue. It's also good for your immune system.
I noticed that St. John's Wort has positive effects when it is boiled over low heat for nine minutes.
Although I heard that St. St. John's Wort should be boiled for nine minutes, I drank St. John's Wort without boiling for a long time, but I did not see much effect.
Onion juice is incredibly gut and brain relaxing, but it is very difficult to drink onion juice.
Onion juice creates a feeling of nausea and distress.
But if you are patient after drinking onion juice, you will feel very relaxed after half an hour.
Onion juice can be less nauseating if you drink it with yogurt.
Onions are in layers.
The intestines and brain are also in the form of layers.
Our gut is our second brain.
Cabbage is also in layers.
This is my own personal experience.
For this reason, I cannot guarantee anything.
These days, I have some thoughts about taking a shower with cold water.
Cholesterol, blood sugar and blood pressure "rise", fats "increase" by growing in the body, diseases multiply by "spreading" in the body and can threaten life.
Fire multiplies and spreads by "rising" by its nature.
The movement of the fire flame is from the bottom up.
Fire burns and destroys.
Diseases can be devastating if not controlled.
"Water" puts out the fire.
Fire gives "heat" and "heat".
The opposite of heat and heat is "cold" and "coolness".
The movement of water is from top to bottom.
So the opposite of fire.
Disease represents "fever" "heat" "destruction".
Just like the flame of fire spreading uncontrollably.
Illnesses are often the reward for sins.
Sin is identical with hell and the devil.
At least the suffering of illness does not belong to heaven because all suffering is in or reminds of hell.
"Cold water" can lower the spreading, rising, destructive cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, reduce body fat and cure or at least alleviate diseases.
(This is just an assumption. Cold water can shock the heart.
The truth is that cold water boosts the immune system, boosts metabolism and increases brown fat, which promotes fat burning. )
Plants growing below ground level, edible seeds, root crops are related to "down".
These plants and roots can represent our organs such as stomach, kidney, intestines, which are located "under" our body, or it can be a sign that it will lower "down" by lowering high blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar. Increasing, expanding body fat and diseases are included in this.
St. John's Wort may interact with medications.
I've heard that St. St. John's Wort will not interact with drugs if it is boiled and drunk in small amounts like tea.
Eating plenty of walnuts and almonds can be effective in depression.
Walnuts are similar in shape to the brain, lungs and intestines.
The gut is our second brain.
Nuts such as walnuts and almonds have thick and strong shells.
These strong shells protect the fatty tissue inside.
It is fatty in our brain.(omega 3)
Nuts can protect our brain and make it healthy.( walnuts and almonds)
Almond shells are very hard.
I am not talking about American almonds, because the shells of American almonds are thin.
The holes on the almond shells resemble hair follicles.
The green shell of the almond is soft and velvety like the hair.
I liken walnuts to tortoises in shape.
Land turtles live very long.
Land turtles are very resistant to starvation for long periods of time.
Walnuts can keep people full for a long time.
Land turtles withdraw into their shells.
In this way, tortoises are in the dark.
Darkness evokes the night, the night evokes sleep, and sleep evokes serenity and peace.
Walnuts increase the amount of melatonin in the blood three times.
Melotonin is essential for regular and good sleep.
The shells of tortoises are very hard, like almond shells, which are very hard.
Honey is dense and slow flowing.
Honey can slow you down.
So honey can calm you down.
Bees collect pollen from flowers by flying in nature and come back to the hive.
Bees do not forget the location of their hives and they are very hardworking.
Honey can strengthen your memory and give you the peace of life in nature.
Honey never spoils.
Honey can prevent your organs from deteriorating.
When honey comes together with walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts that represent organs, it can prevent the organs it represents from deteriorating.
Honey Walnut, Honey Hazelnut, Honey Almond...
I don't speak English. I hope I write the sentences clearly.
Ok bruhh ok
I fully Stan this woman
Brian Laundrie?
So informative. I’m so glad that I found your channel. Thank you for all the knowledge that you share with us!
Hey Dr. Tracey Marks. Can u do a video about PSSD in antidepressants? I am interesting to hear your statements about this
I've been feeling a very strong mental high for 10 months now with low mood. I'm gonna be more consistent with the latter 3 as I'm already taking them.
My ssri stopped working (was on it 15 years) so I got off it suffered horrible withdrawal seven months and counting then I tried snri and had horrendous reaction and then tried to go back to original ssri thinking withdrawal will go away and it’ll work again but felt horrendous. Now I’m a mess seven weeks off work and counting and thinking meds aren’t for me anymore I gotta find a natural way and change my lifestyle entirely. Anyone else been through this?
Ashley, all of those are band-aids. Look for a functional MD and have them run tests on you to find your root cause of depression. SSRIs etc are junk and don’t address the root causes.
Joey McMahon Jr I know that’s why I’m off meds and anti meds lol
Ashley Carr I’m in the same boat, something in our body was thrown off and it’s stuck like that. We need to address root cause and fix it :)
Stopping sugar & all processed carbs has helped. Not cured but better.
She telling the truth about 5-htp I had severe nausea and vomiting 🤮 from taking it
Same it made me throw up but it’s because I had it on an empty stomach, once I had it with food it was fine
God bless all of you i hope you find
what works😔👍
This is the best channel. Great information. 🙋🏻♀️❤️👍🏻🌸
I was cured of severe depression with antibiotics meant for a sinus infection. SSRis worked marginally.
Tracey, love your videos!!! Very informative. As far as depression, one of the essential oils that has helped me is, "Fennel". I usually take 2-3 drops in a capulet. Supposedly good for mood, hormones, girly parts, boy parts...taste like licorice...down side is burping fennel licorice taste. I also like... Ashwaghabda for depression...Your thoughts?
2-3 drops of the oil from the rubber tablet. U swallow or put under ur tongue ?
Also DMAe, magnesium with B6, melatonin, panthotenic acid, zinc. B complex.
What are your thoughts about microdosing psychedelics for mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, and adhd?
Yes pls
I actually tried this for my severe depression. The only thing I noticed is that when I was on shrooms I felt happier and positive but as soon as I came down my depression was still painfully severe. I tried microdosing everyday for like a month. I still do it for recreational purposes but as far as using it to treat my depression it didn’t work for me because I didn’t want to be tripping constantly lol
Dr M has a video or two on psilocybin
@@aykoayko3677 thats not microdosing if you’re tripping
@@aykoayko3677 i would like to try it for my depression how can i obtain it i live in the U.S. thank you!
Thank you for these videos. I watched the last 5 videos about depression and thank you so much for this feedback
Have you tried a gratitude journal? That worked for me :)
I only use optimised curcumin ginko biloba and valeriane im done with drugs
Oh, can you tell me how you use them and how much? I bought some tinctures and I have teas but I would like to know which is better? Thank you for any help you can give.
Daily cold water swimming/immersion (see Huberman Lab or Wim Hoff). Just a few minutes, has a huge effect on mood. It’s the most direct and effective thing I do in my practice for well being. Thank you.
No mention of Niacin? I've used it for years and its quite helpful.
How?
I've found the me to diet helps my anxiety, and B6 helps too.
What happens if vitamin D accumulates in the body? She said it at the end that if you take too much it could accumulate in body because it fat soluble but didn’t explain why that is bad. ?
Hypercalcemia
Uhmm I don't know exactly why but it's also not good for the kidneys if you take too much.
