Here it comes. Can’t have the pharmaceutical industry lose the narrative that only their supposed anti-depressants can help you, instead of something that grows naturally.
yeah, unfortunately, once something gets the reputation of being a street drug then there’s really no science devoted to it anymore. I think I’ve heard that more people have been helped with opium then with any pain reliever in human history but people don’t like to talk about it.
BINGO!
Belladonna grows naturally and has medical properties. Also if it is not harvested or prepared just right it can also kill you.
Nutmeg is natural, really tasty and, in the right amount which is much less then you would think, can also kill you.
All I am saying is be careful before you take anything that is not prepared by a professional. Whether it is a doctor or an herbalist.
Nutmeg?
Sunshine while you can get it on your skin, Vitamin D3 suppement when the weather is cold and one is covered up. The only effective medicine for clinical and manic Deưression.
and certainly don’t forget Hemlock weed and any part of the beautiful oleander shrub ...
I don’t think so.
Yes, it is overstated. Go spend a month hiking our wilderness.
In small amounts, makes food yummy, higher amounts can send you on a trip I have been told is most unpleasant and in even higher amounts can kill you.
In fact a number of the spices in your cabinet can do a number on you if taken in high enough doses. And I do not mean in the "Cinnamon challenge" way.
Plants are very interesting.
One of our old neighbors put too much nutmeg in her coffee or something one time, and basically had a low-grade acid trip.
But you can't make a great pumpkin pie without a little.
I have seen it work in numerous po₫eople including my daughter.Manic Depression is not uncommon in the city in Việt Nam where girls aare taught from birth to never let the sun touch their skin lest then can never get a husband. Igot one young lady out of that 20 years ago and she has proselytized sunshine to all the depressedw omen she has known with 100% success. For them it is 11 months of sunshine and a month to 6 weeks of no visible sun during during rainy season. That is when they get sad depressed again. D3 is not available to them so I send a supply to each family I know primarily to prevent flu/colds during rainy season but for the two I know who suffer depression in that time, too.
Do the research. Search Vitamin D and depressioin and/or Vitamin d and virus. Depression sources are harder to find because there only a few researchers and praticing MDs that have made those findings. itamin D3 is sunshine in a wee gelcap.It has kept me virus free for almost 30 years.
It’s very interesting data.
Not conclusive, but interesting.
Lions Mane works well on my spinal cord injuries. Good stuff!
Correct. Find out if big pharma did these “studies” to discredit something growing in the wild that has helped people.
A little nutmeg goes a long way.
Shades of LSD. The shrinks keep doing this. Announce wonder drug. People use it and start killing each other and going nuts. Drug now tightly controlled and dropped from use . New wonder drug discovered.... Etc etc etc.
