Is Depression and Prozac Deficiency?

Are we defectively designed so that we cannot be happy, or concentrate or remember things, with pills? Is ADHD a Ritalin deficiency or is Alzheimers an Aricept deficiency? I doubt it, yet the use of these drugs is skyrocketing. The “brain” drugs are the number two selling class of drugs after cholesterol medication.

If these treatments were without side effects, they would be great, but they are not. Anti-depressants: Half of all patients quit after 4 months due to side effects of sexual dysfunction, fatigue, insomnia, loss of mental abilities, nausea and weight gain. The other half doesn’t get improvement in their symptoms. Why is it thought that attempting to balance the out-of-balance brain chemicals with even more chemicals would work in the first place? Maybe a better approach is “Why are these brain chemicals out of place in the first place?” Is the answer more drugs or is the answer within our body?

Change your body and you will change your brain!!!

  • excess toxicities

  • hormones imbalanced
  • more
