Thats an example for the dilemma I mentioned.
In the example you give I say "No". Because in my understanding, which might be unorthodox thinking, this really destructive and complicated state of the psyche called "major depression" can be treated. But major deporession si soemhtig ery diffefnt than the low mood that laymen usually mean when they say somebody is depressive, or they feel depressed. I see major depresison as sort of a brain inflammation and yes, nutrition also has a lot to do with it, I think. In New Zealand there is a clinc somehwre where they treat and heal it - with diet exclusively, no therapy, no drugs.



Heaven knows how many of the modern deseases are diet-caused. Most of them, I say. Some doctors have started to classify Alzheimers as "Diabetes Type 3", diabetes type 1 is genetic and diabetes type 2 is a hormonal dysbalance and type 3 would be a metabolic desease, a mix of intoxication and nutrients depletion. Why I mention this? Because I already said in my post before, there is a dilemma, and it is numerous and complex and not just an exception from the rule - it is the rule, most likely, and thats what makes this topic so extremely tricky to deal with.



I warn of easy answers and firing judgements of others from the hip. Chances are almost always that you do not know the full story behind the individual case.
