Good morning all- I stayed up late last night watching "Food Matters" on netflix. It's a documentary about how as a society, we no longer look to natural alternatives such as vitamins or just plain ole good nutrition as a cure/treatment for our ailments. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!
I recently posted about my 20 yr old son, who is clinically depressed. We've tried everything under the sun to help him climb out of the black hole. Well, everything except looking at his diet and nutrition. In this documentary, there was a segment about taking Niacin (B3) for depression and anxiety. There has been great success apparently.
It really opened my eyes about using natural means to heal. Superfoods, fresh raw veggies and fruits, vitamin supplements. I know it would be good just to begin this, just for the health of it. But I was curious if anyone has ever tried and had success using natural alternatives as opposed to prescription medications?
Note: My difficult child has tried lexapro, wellbutrin, prozac, benzos.. He has shown zero improvement in the last 2 years.
