Treat depression with vitamins, herbs and supplements
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Experts have found that many food allergies and other nutritional deficiencies could cause depression. The most serious depression could be caused by an insensitivity to glucose or impaired tolerance to glucose.
My Vitamin Guide (MVG), an online review of vitamins, supplements, herbal remedies and alternative medicine, today announced it has compiled an extensive list of nutritional supplements that medical studies show can help alleviate symptoms of depression.
Found online at www.MyVitaminGuide.com, MVG provides consumers free information on vitamins and supplements as well as resources, news, advice and content from medical professionals on more than 650 health concerns and illnesses.
"Our information comes from experts in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, nursing, naturopathic and public health and from over 500 prominent medical journals," said MVG CEO Sam Knoll.
"By providing information on depression in a clear and easy-to-use way, we are helping people research and understand alternatives to traditional depression medications, so they can make informed decisions about depression treatments."
The MVG section on depression, found at http://www.myvitaminguide.com/depression.html, offers a checklist rating the effectiveness of nutritional supplements and herbs to help treat depression, helpful dietary and lifestyle changes, and several holistic approaches that may be helpful.
According to MyVitaminGuide.com, research indicates that, among other things, food allergies may play a role in depression.
Preliminary research suggests that restricting sugar and caffeine may help alleviate symptoms of depression.
The website also reports that people with major depression may have insensitivity to glucose and impaired glucose tolerance.
My Vitamin Guide's research-article on depression describes numerous nutritional supplements and herbs that have been shown to help alleviate some symptoms of depression as well as, if not better than, prescribed depression medication.
