How To Handle Depression – 5 Step Mini Program

Save This For When Someone Close To You Needs It

When you eat well and exercise, if the dark forces in life drag you down from time to time you have the reserves to drag yourself back up again. Not everyone is endowed with the spiritual, mental and physical reserves you have.

Most likely, this is for them. Save it so it is handy when you need to pass it on.
If you decide to test drive these recommendations yourself I am not to be held responsible for any increased perception of well being or happiness on your part. You did it. You take the credit.

Let me preface this by saying I am not medically trained and have no qualifications to be making recommendations, so this is just relaying what I would do for myself or have done for others. So for those who live by valuing status or pieces of paper over practicality, write this off and quit reading now.

HOW TO HANDLE DEPRESSION, 5 STEP MINI-PROGRAM

I have put together this mini-program with several aims in mind:
1. No physical, mental or environmental prerequisites
2. No prior knowledge or qualifications required
3. Zero cost
4. No limits to who can use it

It should yield results somewhere between remarkable and miraculous to anyone who follows it. (I did step 2 for ten minutes with a woman I met in the park while walking my dog and she told me I had done more for her in that ten minutes than all the psychologists and psychiatrists she had seen for decades.)

If you find it hard to do, push yourself to do so. Or enlist help from a friend. If you don’t have a friend or relative who can help, find someone else who is depressed and buddy up with them to help each other through the program.

0. BEFORE WE START, CAN YOU PASS THIS TEST?
You got where you are by traveling the path you traveled. If you want to arrive some place better you have to travel a different path. You have to do differently to that which landed you here. If you are not prepared to do that, things won’t change.

Hippocrates was reputed to have said something along the lines of,
“Before you try to heal a man, ask if he is prepared to give up what made him sick.”

Are you prepared to give up that which made you depressed?

When you can honestly say “Yes!” to that, keep reading.

1. REFOCUS
(This is the hardest of the 5 steps. I am putting it first so you know where we are going but if you find it too hard, do the next four steps after which you will feel better then come back to it and practice it.)

From a philosophical perspective, you get that on which you put your attention. Happiness or sadness are alike a state of mind that the individual chooses with which to approach life.

If I were to sit here and think enough about sad things for long enough I am sure I could make myself feel depressed.

I remember 40+ years ago when my wife’s and my first pregnancy resulted in a stillborn baby we received a card from one of Julie’s cousins who wrote, “I try to remember it is not what happens to us in life but how we respond to it that shapes our life.”

At that time if we chose to sit and grieve over that loss we might never have tried again and gotten the three wonderful beings we call our children, their spouses and our 6 grandchildren. Scary thought!

I deliberately choose not to think about the sad things. I try to do what I can to confront the true cause of them, take responsibility for what part I had in creating the situation, warn others, if appropriate, if necessary and possible, do what is appropriate to handle it then take my attention off it and focus on the good in life which the main stream media news take great care to avoid.

So, stop watching the nightly news, stop reading the newspaper, stop thinking black thoughts. Build your “change what I am thinking about” muscle! You didn’t know you had that muscle, did you? Probably quite a few times you’ve been to told to focus and concentrate but I am guessing nobody has shown you how to refocus or divert your attention.

For a few minutes every day, practice deliberately changing what you are thinking about to something else. Do this until you become expert at changing what you think about any time you wish.

That said, here are four physical universe actions to help you get from where you are to where you would like to be.

2. TAKE A WALK
Easiest, fastest, cheapest and most effective remedy is to go for a walk and look at things until you feel better. Look outwards, extrovert rather than introvert. This is the nearest thing to a cure-all.

If it is not safe to go out for a walk, just walk around your home looking at things until you feel better. If you can’t walk, just look around at things until you feel better.

I hope you are getting the idea. Thinking about things is not the way to stay up. Looking extroverts your attention and makes you happier.

3. PRODUCE
THE most important datum on the subject of morale is that high morale comes from production. Not from partying or taking drugs or drinking alcohol, socializing or relaxing. Production raises morale. If you want to pause reading here and go test this out for yourself, I have no objection. Look around and spot something you have been meaning to do and do it. Even just picking up the socks or filing a piece of paper is an acceptable start.

Go put a load of washing on, make your bed, tidy your room, empty the dishwasher or wash a load of dishes, and clean the place up.

Now, do you feel better now than when you started reading this article?

To take this to the next level, complete some little jobs on your to do or pending list. Every job you finish gives you back some attention units. The more attention units you have in present time, the better you will feel.

The extension of the production equals morale principle is that production is the demonstration of competence. So you want to feel better? Increase your production! Want to feel even better? Study how to be more competent to further increase your production! Want to feel truly sensational? Study in an area that is on your purpose line, get super competent and really productive in that area. Don’t be surprised if your morale reaches the stars!

4. DRUGS
For those who are aware that the medical profession has been taken over by big Pharma and are not allowed to cure anybody of many things (that being bad for business) read on, there are some useful tips herein.

No sickness, mental or physical, arose because of a drug deficiency. Every drug has side effects, none of them address the root cause of the problem. The average drug has 75 side effects, one of which is often death. Many of the side effects lead to more prescriptions to address the side effects resulting in a lot of people being on 5 or more medications.

Many drugs are bettered by natural substances or nutrition.

Antidepressants are particularly bad as the latest results show they are no better than a placebo and lead to increased risk of suicide: https://www.madinamerica.com/2020/10/researchers-suggest-antidepressants-not-used-depression/

If you are on anti-depressant medication, look for a practitioner who will supervise an appropriate gradient phasing off them to minimize harmful withdrawal symptoms. Get your blood nutrient levels checked. B group vitamins, vitamin E and omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil) are very therapeutic, readily available supplements, a more natural way than drugs to handle depression – they address the nutritional deficiencies which often underlie depression.

5. EXERCISE
Just saw one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen! I took the time to transcribe it in case you cannot view the source video on Facebook.

“All psychology, all neuroscience and I think this is the most interesting finding of the last decade in all of science. And this is the insight that your muscles are basically an endocrine organ that secretes hormones into your bloodstream, that affect every system of your body. Your muscles, they secrete chemicals and proteins when you exercise that are also really good for your brain health and one of the fist papers almost ten years ago that was published explaining that when you contract your muscles they literally secrete these proteins into your bloodstream that make you resilient to stress and can protect you from depression.

“The scientists called them “hope molecules”, this idea that literally your muscles are manufacturing like antidepressant molecules and the only way to get them into your bloodstream where they can then travel to your brain is you have to contract your muscles. Like, that’s it! It’s like a pharmacy in your muscles and anything your do that contracts them: walking, hiking, running, dancing, weight lifting, like swimming, anything, you are going to be dumping “hope molecules” into your bloodstream that when they get to your brain they work as an antidepressant and they also help people recover from trauma. Like that… …that’s like a miracle!

Because of course it’s wonderful when medications work for you, but for so many people medications don’t work or they don’t do the full job in terms of in terms of helping with mental health and the idea that your muscles could provide you with the equivalents of something like an antidepressant medication… …that is”

Cellular starvation kills treatment-resistant breast cancer

purplecancercells
Cancer rewires the metabolism of tumor cells, converting them into lean, mean, replicating machines. But like Olympic athletes who rely on special diets to perform, tumor cells’ amped-up metabolism can also make them dependent on specific nutrients for survival. For years, scientists have been trying to identify and understand these cellular cravings in hopes of creating new cancer treatments that work by blocking off access to necessary nutrients and starving tumors to death. In a new study, Duke University scientists report that cells from a vicious and treatment-resistant form of breast cancer, called triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), die off rapidly when deprived of a key nutrient called cystine. By examining the cause of cell death, they found that this “cystine addiction” is triggered by a mechanism that many kinds of tumor cells use to break away and migrate to new locations in the body. “This process is well-known and shows up in metastatic cancer cells, and what we found is that it also makes the cells cystine-addicted,” said Jen-Tsan Ashley Chi, associate professor of molecular genetics and microbiology at the Duke University School of Medicine and senior author on the study. “This is great news, because these are the cells that we really want to get rid of.”?

Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe – Australian Premiere

Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe will premiere in Australia on December 6th, 2016, in Logan City, QLD.
Due to violent threats against venue owners from the pro-censorship ‘book burning’ cartel, the exact venue will be announced the on December 6th, 2016.
Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe is a documentary film detailing the claims made by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Senior Scientist, Dr. William ‘Bill’ Thompson. Dr. Thompson led the agency’s 2004 study on Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine, investigating its alleged link to autism. Dr. Thompson confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report, data that revealed a causal relationship between MMR vaccine and autism.
The film is not anti-vaccination, and it makes the following calls to action:
That Congress (USA) subpoena Dr. William Thompson and investigate the CDC fraud.
That Congress repeal the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and hold manufacturers liable for injury caused by their vaccines.
That the single measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine be made available immediately.
That all vaccines be classified as pharmaceutical drugs and tested accordingly.
There has been, and will continue to be, false claims made about this film, from allegations about the film’s creators, to the content within. Featured in the film are the data and claims of the CDC’s Dr. Thompson, autism specialists, university professors, and high profile medical doctors, including two co-hosts of the Emmy Award Winning ‘The Doctors’ medical talk show. Media may claim one of ten free tickets to the Premiere, or request a free private screening link, in order to accurately review the film. The film’s Director and Producers are available for commentary and interviews.

Grandpa Mark
…I received this email today…
“I’ve committed a terrible crime, I don’t agree with government policy.”
Dear Tom – meet Mark Rogers.
Mark is a 66-year-old grandfather – and he’s being targeted with government legal threats.
His “crime”? Use of the word ‘Medicare’ on his small, community-run Save Medicare website, where he collects reporting and analysis on Medicare. It’s a hobby project that he fits around babysitting the grandkids.1
That’s why Grandpa Mark, who lives off his superannuation, was taken aback to receive a letter threatening ‘damages and costs’ if he didn’t shut down his website within 48 hours.
This is a true David vs Goliath story – a vindictive government, enraged after a poor election performance, using the enormous legal resources at their disposal to intimidate everyday Australians into silence.
Grandpa Mark’s story is breaking across the news media right now2 – but in order to shine a light on their bullying behaviour, we need to help make it huge. A massive petition calling them out will force a back down – and prove that attempts to silence community voices on Medicare will only make them louder.
Click here https://www.getup.org.au/david-v-goliath to call on the Turnbull Government to stop bullying Mark Rogers.
This is a new low for a government who is earning quite the reputation for strong-arming its critics – from Gillian Triggs of the Human Rights Commission to Solicitor General Justin Gleeson.3,4
But Mark believes the public have the right to know the truth on Medicare, which is why he’s refusing to take his website down.
He’s been working hard since 2014 to get the word out on the impacts of the Turnbull government’s freeze to the Medicare rebate, $650 million in cuts to pathology and radiology rebates, and the controversial decision to set up a taskforce to privatise Medicare’s billing system.
With government lawyers breathing down Mark’s neck, he needs a huge wave of people power to swoop in behind him – so that he can stand strong against the government’s legal threats.
Will you speak up? Add your name to the petition: https://www.getup.org.au/david-v-goliath
A government trying to silence legitimate political dissent on a major policy issue? Not on our watch.
Nat, Django, Ruby and Daney, for the GetUp team
