Maya Writes; "I struggle with depression and have for years. Recently I was told I am bi-polar. This may explain why the depression prescriptions never really worked for me. I am 4 months pregnant and my doctor says I cannot start the medicine for the bi-polar condition until my baby is born. Is there any natural alternative, for bi-polar disorder, that I can use during my pregnancy? I am still taking Prozac, as the doctors are concerned about post-partem depression, which I have history of."

Question:
 
I struggle with depression and have for years. Recently, I was told I am bi-polar. This may explain why the depression prescriptions never really worked for me. I am 4 months pregnant and my doctor says I cannot start the medicine for the bi-polar condition until my baby is born. Is there any natural alternative, for bi-polar disorder, that I can use during my pregnancy? I am still taking Prozac, as the doctors are concerned about post-partem depression, which I have history of.

Answer:
 
Congratulations on the upcoming new baby. Depression is not a lot of fun and comes in all forms. The scientific community agrees that the majority of depressions result from a chemical imbalance - a way of saying a mineral imbalance. Bi-polar being one of those. I can only tell you what I've seen work and will not harm your baby but then you will have to be the one to decide if you want to try it.
 
First I have to say, I've seen some nasty latent side effects in people who take Prozac, so I worry about you taking it.  Prozac has a way of changing a person's personality into someone that family and friends do not recognize, so why risk it when there is natural alternatives?
 
Now for the natural alternatives for depression. I have seen a couple of people with Bi-polar disease leave it completely behind when adding some simple nutritional supplements. One of them has been symptom free and prescription free for nine years, another for four years. Both found that contentment with adding three supplements to their life and costing much less than their anti-depression prescription. First 1 teaspoon of a liquid complete 84 ionic mineral, trace mineral complex twice a day along with a fantastic herbal formula compounded to nourish the brain, called "Mind Power" Master Formula. 2 capsules in the morning and 1 at noon. A third addition of Tolerance Master Formula 1 capsule three times a day.


The 9-year symptom free success took these same supplements during her pregnancy and delivered a very smart and happy child who is nine years old now with above average intelligence and has been put up a grade and looking to move him up one more grade, putting him two years above those of his age group. If you are interested in trying them you can call toll free 9am to 9pm Sun. Or order them online at The Herbal Pharmacy
 
There are other herbs that are known to bring relief as well but I do not have personal experiences with any of them other than the Valarian Root and Kava Kava, which has worked as an antidepressant and relaxant for many but falls short in many as well.  Kava Kava in the amount needed, alone, to correct should not be taken during pregnancy. But the very most important aspect to depression is to replace the minerals (chemicals) to correct the problem and not mask it as prescriptions tend to do.
 
Diet and exercise is very important as well. Dairy and red meats tend to have an exacerbating effect on depression also.
 
Wishing you delivery of a happy and healthy child.
Lena

LOVE LIFE

A man had just taken his annual physical exam and was waiting for the doctor's initial report. After a few minutes the doctor came in with his charts in hand and said, "There's no reason why you can't live a completely normal life as long as you don't try to enjoy it."

One of the great keys to successful living is to ignore the doctor's recommendation and enjoy life as much as possible. Living is difficult. Learn to enjoy it. Decide to be happy.

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale used to tell about a time when Branch Rickey, former general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodgers, was managing the St. Louis Browns baseball team. The Browns happened to be playing against the Detroit Tigers and the immortal Ty Cobb came to bat with two outs and the bases empty in the last inning of a tie game. Cobb drew a base on balls. Once at first, Cobb took a risky lead. His daring, his pure desire to make the most of the moment, rattled the pitcher. The pick-off throw was wild and Cobb dashed. He made a defiant turn at second, forcing another wild throw, slid 10 feet into third and watched as the dazed third baseman muffed the catch. Cobb sprang to his feet and sped for home. By sheer adventure and skill he made what amounted to a home run out of a base on balls!

Unfortunately, the Browns lost as a result. But, Branch was thrilled. He had the privilege of witnessing Ty Cobb's irrepressible love of the game, that quality of zest that set him apart from most other players. Branch commented, "If a player really loves this game, it'll love him back."

So it is with all of life. If we really love life, it will love us back. If we learn to enjoy it, even when it is difficult, we will live well. Henry Van Dyke said, "Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look at the stars."

Be glad. Enjoy! Love life...and it will love you back.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================

Apple Of The Orient aka Ebenaceae, Diospyros kaki
 
In a few short weeks as we make our way to Southern California for my grand daughter's graduation I look forward to being able to pick this fruit from a tree?  Not one I always ate or knew about but several years ago we arrived home from the grocery store one afternoon to find these squatty orange persimmons sitting at our back door. I put them in the kitchen as they were really hard and persimmons are not one of my favorite foods so I would not hurry to eat one.  Later in the evening I received a call from a dear friend asking me if I had found the fruit at our back door. I assured him I did. He wanted to know if we had eaten them and my reply was. "Are you nuts those persimmons are hard as a rock and not ready to eat!" He started laughing and said, "Oh no go get one and a knife and slice it as you would an apple and I'm not getting off the phone until you do!"  In order to clear my phone it looked like I would have to do his bidding? When sliced into it appears I saw this beautiful unique star fish pattern inside. So, I grudgingly did as he said while. I bit into a slice and waited for disappointment. If you've ever bitten into a native persimmon or an unripe Japanese variety, you know that they can be puckery bitter when not fully ripe. My taste buds received a huge shock as the taste was not at all the flavor of a persimmon. A new favorite food had entered my life that day. I now wait patiently every year until I can get some.
 
That favorite food is a Fuju Persimmon.  And some things I have learned about it is very interesting is that it's;
 
A short squatty orange fruit known as the Apple of the Orient (Ebenaceae, Diospyros kaki). Fuju looks like a bright orange, medium-sized squatty tomato, is perhaps best-known in America as the Japanese, or Oriental, persimmon, occasionally Chinese plum or, when dried, Chinese fig. In Spanish, it is called caqui. Native to Japan, Burma, northern India and China, the tree can be found growing at altitudes from 6000-8000 ft (1830-2500m) Marco Polo wrote about the persimmon trade in the early 14th Century, and it is featured in ceremonies throughout Asia, where over two thousand cultivars exist. It was not until the late1800?s that grafted trees were distributed to California, but by 1930, there were close to 100,000 bearing trees around the state. The trees do well in the mild climate portions of California, and over 90% of the total U.S. persimmon fruit crop is grown there.
 
Eaten like an apple - has a crisp texture that makes it good for slicing and using of fruit trays or in fruit salads. Persimmons are used in main dishes to enhance the flavors in puddings, desserts, salsas, jams, candy, breads, cakes, stewed fruits, and salads or they can be eaten fresh, peeling and all. Dried persimmons, which have a chewy, jelly-like texture and unique sweet flavor, are also available.
 
Rich in nutrients, particularly such important vitamins as A and C, a little of the Bs, and E. Many minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, copper, and manganese, a little iron, and other trace minerals, are also present, when they are contained in the water and soil that nourishes the plants or trees. Fuju's are low in fat and high in fiber making for a great bowel stimulator.
 
I hope this info will you find a new favorite food!
