How to cure
the worst DEPRESSION.

          Depression is paralysis of the mind.

          The mind sits on the throne of the body. When your mind can't command, your life has no direction and no propulsion.

          In this issue, I present the views of a natural doctor who has cured severe depression with natural programs.

          These are the views of Dr. Richard Schulze, medical herbalist, who has cured what others regard as incurable conditions.

"Depression could be a precursor to a stroke because you have reduced circulation to the brain."

SCHULZE: One of the main causes of disease is what I've always called blockage.

          In other words, in an area of the body that is malfunctioning - a kidney, a disc and a vertebrae, the lungs, whatever, - one of the biggest problems is there's a lack of circulation.

          That can be blood flow in to give nutrients to the area or blood flow out to remove waste, lymphatic flow, nerve circulation, whatever.

          There's a blockage to that area and that's one of the basic causes of disease. Well, depression is no different.

"From studying autopsies, I learned how brain tissue decays in depression and senility."

SCHULZE: One of the things that enlightened me on this was, when I was first studying, I had an opportunity to be involved in a couple of autopsies and dissections of human bodies.

          When I first saw a skull cut off and a brain opened up, it was a great awareness for me, because up until then I had thought of our brain as being something out of Star Trek - a gaseous, cloudy area where all our thinking takes place.

          But when you see a brain sitting on a stainless steel plate, all the mysterious feelings that you have go away and you see that it's just an organ.

          It's like a kidney, it's like a lung, it's like anything else. Even though it may be the center for our central nervous system and our thoughts, if it doesn't get good blood supply, and that blood going to the brain isn't quality blood, the brain isn't going to work.

          The same way that you have a liver that became congested with cholesterol, a gall bladder with gallstones, or a kidney with kidneystones, you can get brains that actually have congestion, mucous, and pus.

BISER: How do you know "mucous and pus?" Have you seen it?

SCHULZE: Well, I've seen it and, of course, I've read it in numerous autopsies, many from when my patients have passed on.

          I've asked the family to send me the autopsy report. It will say they opened up the brain (if a patient had depression or dementia) and they will explain that the brain cavity was filled with translucent liquids - white and yellow liquids - and waste materials.

          They don't basically tell you what it is, but they say that there was a lot of waste material in and around the brain (pus, mucous, and congestion) because the blood wasn't getting to that brain to supply it with nutrition. It also wasn't taking the waste material out of that brain.

These reports also stated that the actual brain tissue has degenerated, dissolved and been destroyed.

"Our thought processes create a lot of waste in the brain - and that waste has to be removed."

SCHULZE: The first things that you have to think about when you have depression is getting more blood and oxygen to the brain and getting rid of the waste.

          Most Americans have blocked coronary arteries, but we don't ever talk about the other arteries in the body that are also blocked. A big one is the carotid artery that feeds the brain and then, all the little arteries that branch off of that and feed individual areas of the brain.

          One of the first things we have to think about is, "How do we get more blood to the brain?" We need to thin the blood out. And, of course, as you know, the average cholesterol level in America is 200. We've had cases up to1600.

          The best way to do that, and we've talked about this before, is our Vegan Food Program (which reduces the cholesterol level immediately) and juice fasting.

          As part of that blood thinning program, people should remember their liver flushes, covered in previous issues, because,of course, the liver flush is a clean-up of the liver, a flushing out of the fat in the liver, which allows the liver to do a better job at reducing the blood fat.

"Massage the head when a person has depression. It increases the circulation."

BISER: I heard years ago that one massage therapist said he could empty the mental hospitals if he were allowed to massage people's heads. Is there any truth to that?

SCHULZE: There sure is. Body work increases circulation to the brain and we need to get it.

          One of the things I always notice when I get a massage is they don't touch my ears, my nose, my eyes, my jaw, my lips, or my chin. In these areas, I seem to hold a tremendous amount of stress.

          When you're trying to get more blood to your head, you could spend a whole hour of bodywork, someone just stretching and kneading your ears, your jaw, your nose, your eyes, and massaging your scalp and neck.

          What do we always do when we're under stress and we're depressed? I would always see my patients put their hands right to their head.

          You know, their hands will go right to their forehead. They sink their face into their hands like, "Oh God, why me?" They grab their forehead, their eyes, their nose, their ears. So, this is where their hands go.

          This is what people have to pay attention to. That's an area that needs to get touched. So, I always add in there, a scalp massage, ear massage, back of neck massage, even shoulder; all these areas.

          You know, most people, their upper trapezius muscle, which is the muscle that extends from the top of their shoulder to the base of their skull, is like a steel cable. How can blood get through that?

          Most peoples' cervical vertebrae seems like it's fused and made out of steel. We need to knead these muscles, stretch the neck, pull the ears. One of the things I noticed is, when I work on someone's neck, shoulders, scalp and face for five minutes, they say, "Oh, wow, I haven't felt blood like that in my head in years."

          What we're getting to here is that people need to get that worked on. And again, anybody can do it.

"In this depressed man's eyes, you could see a rim of cholesterol accumulating on top of his cornea. Doctors call that the arc of senility."

BISER: What case or cases can you give us where you improved circulation and corrected severe depression?

SCHULZE: I had a typical business man, a salesman, named Thomas.

           I'm going to say he was 150 lbs. overweight and that's being nice. Cholesterol level, you know, way up there. He also had two heart attacks and coronary artery blockage. He was out of shape and over stressed from work.

          Thomas started giving up on life, started not caring as much. He used to be a very sharp dresser. Next thing his relatives noticed, he's got stains on his clothes and he doesn't care anymore; he's not wearing a tie or his tie's not tied right. He's letting his clothes get dirty.

          Next thing they noticed was, he didn't seem to care about a lot of the little things in life that mattered to him. The third step they noticed was, for a couple of days, he didn't go to work. Here we have a guy that got up early to get to work and stayed late at the office and now, all of a sudden, he doesn't get up early. He wants to stay in bed, wants to sleep.

"A classic sign of depression is people that don't want to get out of bed. You don't want to get out of bed because you don't like life anymore. "

BISER: What happened next?

SCHULZE: He was skipping days at work and, of course, this man owned his own business and we all know that business owners tend to be pretty enthusiastic about going to work. They're entrepreneurs. When he didn't want to go to work anymore, that's when they started noticing that his personality had changed to a great degree.

          Generally, people don't fall into a deep depression overnight. This is like most diseases that build over time, but it is something that we tend to ignore or discharge and then, all of a sudden we go, "Wow, we've got a real problem here." That's when his relatives brought him to me.

          He had already had coronary bypass surgery. I think he had a four-way bypass and that was only about four to five years previous. This is a classic too, that we've talked about before. Doctors are cleaning out and replacing the coronary arteries, but not any other arteries in the body.

           People think that when they have cardiac bypass surgery, that they are all better and 100% fixed. That's the way the M.D.s mislead the patient. They say you have all new plumbing - but you don't.

           After your surgery, the doctors say, "Go out and 'enjoy yourself; you're a teenager again." In a way, they promote the patient to continue their high fat program.

           What about all the little fine arteries that feed the brain, the kidneys, and everything else? They're also blocked. And, of course, this is what was happening to Thomas.

           In the medical books, there's a sign called arcus senilus. It's been loosely referred to by doctors as the arc of senility. It appears in the eyes, in the iris. They've noticed that they have an opaqueness near the top of their iris - the colored part of their eye.

           Where it once was a nice blue or brown eye, the top of their eye looks like a crescent shape of a moon being put over the top of it. This is actual fat that is layering itself in the cornea between the iris and the top of the cornea. This is associated with a lack of blood circulation to the brain.

          What this means is you have so much fat in your blood and your body's not dealing with it, that it's starting to depositin the cornea of your eye. Well, if it's starting to deposit in the cornea of your eye, believe me, it's depositing everywhere else.

BISER: Did this guy know that he was depressed?

SCHULZE: No. Very few people know they are. It's something that comes on slowly, so it's like eyesight loss. You don't really realize you're losing your eyesight until all of a sudden it's gone. And, of course, depressed people get so depressed, they're not good judges of their own mental stability.

BISER: Well, why did he think he was talking to you?

SCHULZE: Well, this is interesting. Thomas didn't think there was much wrong with him. He said, "Well, there's a recession. Business is bad. You know, I've been working all my life, blah,blah, blah."

          But he exhibited obvious symptoms of depression. Things that the rest of us don't do.

          This is one time when you really have to listen to the relatives, too. They've known this person over a long period of time and they've watched the changes.

           This is also one of the few illnesses where I have actually allowed relatives to make an appointment for the person. Normally, if someone says, "I want to make an appointment for my Uncle Harry, he has cancer," I say, "You tell Uncle Harry to call, because it's going to take a lot of work and changes to get well, and I don't want anyone trying to force Uncle Harry into anything."

          But, in cases of depression, a lot of times the patient gets into a position that they don't know how they got there and they don't know how to get out. They just want to go back to bed.

          This is one time the relatives are critical to a patient getting better. They have to force the implementation of all the programs until the person is better.

          And so, we got him on everything from the Vegan Food Program to the Juice Fasting. And we saw dramatic changes almost instantly.

          He started wanting to get up in the morning. He had stopped reading the newspaper and they said that was almost religion for this man. He had gotten up every morning and read the newspaper, like the late comedian Will Rogers, who said that everything he knew and believed is what he read in the newspaper.

           He starting saying, "Where is my newspaper?" And the next thing you know, he was wearing his tie again. We saw everything just reverse, almost in the same exact order that we saw it fall apart when he was becoming depressed.

          What was happening to Thomas was that his brain was anemic, just not working. This goes back to that basic statement we made at the beginning: the brain needs blood to feed it nutrition and blood to take away the waste. If that doesn't happen, the brain doesn't work. We're going to see various things happen when our brain stops working. It won't only be emotional. It could be motor nerves. But usually, you see an attitude change.

BISER: Did he ever realize he was depressed?

SCHULZE: Not until he started coming out of it. Even when he came out of it, he didn't have a strong memory of what he had been doing.

          But some of the relatives had taken some videos. They showed him, and he said, "My God." It was a very foggy period for him.

          This is why people need to be concerned when they have coronary artery blockage, high cholesterol levels, and are heavily overweight.

          It's not just the heart. It's the brain and everything associated with it, from eyesight to hearing. If someone's already had some eyesight problems, some hearing loss, and some memory problems, it doesn't take a genius to-figure out that what's next is premature senility.

"There are foods that increase circulation to the brain - a lot we don't think of, or use."

BISER: What foods did you give to increase blood flow?

SCHULZE: The circulation enhancing nutrients are basically the B-vitamins. The two main ones we talk about are niacin and vitamin B-12. They're very important for blood circulation.

          In fact, many doctors today give their patients niacin to increase the blood circulation.

          In fact, some readers out there might have had what is called a niacin rush or a niacin flush; you've taken too much niacin and, the next thing you know, your skin is red all over, especially your face, and it's itching. This is an extreme increase in the circulation of your blood to the capillaries and it feels like you're itching all over.

          Well, we want to do that. In fact, many doctors today believe that that's a healthy thing to do. But the main thing we want to do is make sure that people are getting plenty of niacin in their daily food program.

The other vitamin that's important, which is also a B-vitamin, is B-12. B-12 is what we call the energy vitamin; it helps with the amount of energy that we have, our zest for life. This is why many times after an illness and when you're dragging, a doctor gives you a B-12 shot.

BISER: People say, "Why bother with foods? I can just get some B-vitamin tablets. "

SCHULZE: Of course the problem with the B-vitamin tablets is they're not natural. B-vitamins today are being manufactured from horrible substances.

          B-12 comes predominantly from activated sewage sludge. If it isn't from that, it's from dehydrated beef livers which are loaded with bacteria.

          Nowadays, there is not a more toxic area on a cow than it's liver. It's liver is trying to filter out the majority of the growth hormones and steroids that have been pumped into the cow; also, the bacterial levels are outrageously high. We know that's an immune problem. Niacin is also made in disgusting ways by mixing chemicals.

          Our greatest source of B-vitamins is our natural source.

          There's two natural sources that we should talk about here. One is nutritional yeast, which is the classic source of niacin and B-12 and then there are other sources that aren't as good but are valuable.

          Of course, brown rice is a great source. B-vitamin deficiency diseases were only discovered after rice was debranned.. Then people got very sick; beri-beri and pellagra swept China.

          Then everybody worried, "Well, why are these people having this sickness?" Then they realized that the majority of the B-vitamins in rice are in the bran and not in the rice itself.

          And then, also, molasses. For many people, they use that as a source of iron and B-vitamins. There are also various other natural herbal products on the market. But I like nutritional yeast. I see it's the cleanest, it works the fastest, and I think that's the best source. We would suggest to people the RedStar T-6635 +. There is no better source. It's non-fermentable and won't bother candida patients.

          A secondary thing that we should add here is that whole grains are the greatest source of B vitamins. But most people don't eat whole grains. They eat refined grains.

          Dr. Christopher talked about preparing the whole grains by pre-soaking them and then heating them. There are a lot of things the old natural healers talked about that we've all conveniently forgotten because it was a pain in the butt.

          The bottom line is that Dr. Christopher knew that when you heat grains, like, for example, when you get to the point where you've made bread, there's still some nutritional value, but you've destroyed most of the B-vitamins.

          And so, part of what he called his regenerative food program was taking your grains and presoaking them for at least 12, if not 24, hours.

          The whole idea of presoaking your grain is that if it's rehydrated, you don't have to cook it as much. You hardly have to cook it at all. In fact, you can even sprout it at this point and have no cooking involved at all.

          But then if you do cook a grain, once you've presoaked it for 12-24 hours, you can cook it at a very low heat for a very short period of time. That grain is already softened and soaked; the enzymes are going in it again. So the amount of cooking can be minimal and then you don't destroy your B-vitamins.

           People have conveniently forgotten that Dr.Christopher said that. I don't hear anybody talk about it anymore.

          Of course, the other way is sprouting. Sprouting grains. You can just sprout your wheat until it has a tail on it as big as the kernel and eat it that way.

          So, we need to get back to food source nutrition for that niacin and B-12. But, I'll tell you, it's powerful. You give someone a dose of niacin and B-12 from a foodsource and not only might you see a niacin rush, but a flush of blood to the brain.

          They are very powerful, so let's get back to our whole grains, our unrefined grains, and having them either sprouted or soaked and low heated.

"I have noticed that home remodeling is how to have a nervous breakdown in one easy lesson."

BISER: You mentioned to me that home remodeling was a big cause of depression, and at first, I thought you were kidding.

SCHULZE: No, I wasn't. I've noticed that many of my patients have had their worst emotional times when they remodeled their home. I think that it's a very primal thing.

          Our home is where we live. It is our cocoon. What I have seen is people who have decided, "Okay, let's remodel the kitchen."

          Then they say, "Well, gosh, now that we've got the guys here, we ought to think about the living room. And if we're going to repaint the living room, we might as well do the bedroom."

          The next thing you know, their entire house is covered with plastic tarps. The next thing that you can almost automatically count on is they're going to have horrendous fights with the person they live with.

          And then, if they're not in good shape and they already have some ill health, they're going to send themselves into a depression that they may not pull out of.

BISER: Why?

SCHULZE: Because they're under severe stress. I have had many patients break up with the person that they've lived with or been married to for 20 or 30 years when they decided to redo the house. That's how big a stress it is.

          They started arguing about what they were going to do. And I suggest to all my patients, "If you're going to remodel the house, get out of it. Okay?"

           Rent a house next door. Don't remodel your house when you're living in it. I've rarely met a person that can handle that without having at least emotional problems, if not a depression.

New office toxins cause clinical depression.

SCHULZE: I had a patient named Samantha, who was 33 years old, with severe depression for six months. Her husband made the call and gave me the same type of depressive symptoms, such as, "She doesn't want to get out of bed" and, "She doesn't care anymore," that type of thing.

          She came in and I ran through the normal routes with her; it didn't appear to me to be any of the things that we talked about earlier, like high cholesterol. In fact, she was a fairly healthy person, ate very good, had a normal cholesterol level. What I ended up finding was that she had been overly exposed to environmental toxins.

          When I was talking to her husband about the house, he said that she was like a clean fanatic. Not only was she cleaning all the time, but spraying room sprays out of pressurized cannisters, using all types of laundry soaps with heavy perfumes and bleaches, and putting softener tissues in the dryer.

          She was cleaning the toilet bowel with two or three different kinds of things. He said that their house smelled like a perfume factory. Everywhere he walked, there was one of those stick-up things to make the room smell better.

          She even had the ones that plugged in the wall that emitted things. The whole house was filled with toxic sprays, perfumes, and cleaning agents.

          I thought, "Well, that could be something." And the second thing that we discovered is that right before her depression really started, she got a new job in a brand new office building.

          This is a real key for toxicity because, in brand new office buildings, by the time they finish them and they open the door and say, "Okay, people can come in and work here," it really isn't environmentally safe.

          This is a big problem in Los Angeles now. We even have people that come around to the job sites that check for environmental hazards.

          You have a carpet that's been manufactured by petrochemicals that's been rolled up in a ball, but now it is put down, people are sitting on it, and it's giving off fumes.

          We've all smelled the fumes from new carpets. But then on top of it, you have office furniture that's been made with fibreboard, which is basically sawdust pressed together, but glued together with very toxic chemicals. That's giving off chemicals.

          We have everything from ceiling tiles to the paint on the walls. Imagine walking into a brand new office where everything was just finished. The smells that are in there! He even said that she used to complain of the smells.

          When you add that together with a toxic wasteland at home, what happened is she started exhibiting signs of depression.

          One of the things we had to do with her was not only clean up the home, but also put her on a very strong detox program - a blood detoxification program and a tissue detoxification program. The next thing that happened is all the signs of depression started reversing themselves. [These comprehensive cleansing programs are covered in the Save-Your-Life Videos and Manual.]

          She had already had a very toxic home, but now when you added a toxic office to it, there was so much toxicity in her system that her mind just couldn't think anymore. You could say her brain was poisoned . That's another example of a way that someone can slip into a depression in a very different way.

BISER: And you cleaned all that up and she got better?

SCHULZE: Absolutely. Most of the time, the way to get well is usually to stop doing the things that made you sick and add in things that will clean you and make you healthier. Then, you get well. So, with natural healing, it's reversing the process.

"Retirement is the great death sentence. I've seen more of my patients go into depression through retirement than anything else."

SCHULZE: Basically, the average man looks at retirement as the end of his life. He starts counting the clock. Well, it's only going to be a few years now before I'm dead. He feels that his usefulness is over.

          What I suggest to people is never retire.

          Or, if you retire from a job that you didn't like, make sure that before you retire you have an active usefulness that you're moving into. That could be anything that you've wanted to do all your life, from arts to teaching, to volunteer work, whatever.

          But don't go home and sit in that chair. I guarantee you, if you go home, sit in the chair, flip on the tube, and all of a sudden, you're home all day long, you're going to shorten your life by decades. You're going to slip yourself into a depression.

          That's probably the number one problem for men I've found in my clinic. They retired and, within a year, we were dealing with a patient on Prozac. For women, it's menopause.

Lack of female hormones causes depression.

BISER: Do you mean that menopause triggers depression?

SCHULZE: Yes. Mrs. Marsten was very, very depressed to the point where it had ruined her home life.

BISER: Home life means marriage?

SCHULZE: Yes, it ruined her marriage and her relationship with her family and her children to the point where everybody hated her. But then, what happens many times is, everybody says, "Oh, oh, she's really ill!"

          What they realized was in the process of her becoming depressed, she was a very miserable person to get along with. But then, when she became what we might call "clinically depressed," all the relatives realized that she was ill, she wasn't just a jerk. They felt very bad and tried to get her fixed for her clinical depression.

          They brought her in to see me and she was in a really bad state. She had gone through that angry, raging stage of her depression and now was just kind of introverted, silent, quiet, withdrawn, which is very common with depression. People get so depressed they just don't want to talk anymore. Their mind is just thinking "What's the use?" It got to the point where she was basically incapable of even speaking.

          When a woman is 53, you always want to take menopause into consideration. The average age for beginning menopause in the United States is 48-1/2, but at any time between 45 and 55, you want to look at hormone imbalance as being a situation.

          We covered her other areas, and, of course, everybody can use a little general clean up, but when we started balancing her hormones (She received a tincture for depression, made of equal parts of Dong Quai, Chaste Tree, and WildYam. One to two dropperfuls, three times a day), she came right out of it; this one didn't take very long at all. I am going to say that in 30 days she was right out of her depression, just by getting her hormones balanced again.

          So, with her it was an endocrine problem, but it took her into the same symptomatic depression that the woman had with her toxemia and Thomas had with his artery Blockage. Depression is the end result of many different illnesses. Our job is to find out what the heck that illness is.

"This depressed man was full of tons of poop."

SCHULZE: This is the guy who was full of poop. He was clinically depressed for two years when he was brought to me. He had been to three different hospitals and was now under the care of psychiatrists at Kaiser, which is quite a big hospital group in California.

          They officially diagnosed him as clinically depressed and had him on numerous drugs, Prozac being one of them. The family saw him wasting away, got my name, and brought him to me.

          When they brought him to me, he sat on my couch, didn't utter a word, and had his head smashed into his hands, but did come out of it occasionally to display paranoia. He was worried that they weren't going to make it home. Some type of paranoia!

          But besides that, he was so depressed he couldn't answer my questions. When I asked him to come into my of fice, he wouldn't come. He just sat in the waiting room in a chair.

          I said, "Let's start at the very beginning." What we started with was getting his bowels cleaned out, because he had a problem with hemorrhoids and, to me, that's a classic sign of constipation.

          So, we started with cleaning his bowels. And what started coming out was so amazing, from parasites to old sausage casings, to all of the things - mucous - that we heard. We just kept going and the more bowel cleansing we did, the more came out. I mean, it was like Pandora's box. It was quite frightening.

          This guy had years' worth of toxic build up stuffed into his colon to the point where it was making his blood stream so filthy he went into a clinical depression

          What is interesting about Bob is that we never did anything else. All we did was thorough colon cleaning and two months worth of thorough bowel cleaning.

          Within about 30 days, his psychiatrist told me that there were some major differences, that they were very impressed, and to keep going. Within two months, he was healed.

          Three months after we started treatment, he was back at his job, which he hadn't been at for 2-1/2 years.All by just cleaning the bowel.

          I would have done other things, but the family wasn't really open to doing any more. There was so much involved with his bowel cleaning, they just hung in there with that and that's all it took.

          So, all four of those case histories point out what my experience has been with depression: You can't say that there's one thing that causes it. I've had as many reasons for people having clinical depression as there have been possibilities of different things that could be wrong. What I've come to see is that clinical depression is the outcome of one or more systems of the body being out of balance.

"Electrical pollution can mess-up your brain."

SCHULZE: Here's the big thing. Southern California Edison, the power company for my home here in Southern California, recently produced a brochure that talked about electrical pollution. Now, you've got to figure that if Southern California Edison is finally talking about it, this is very real.

          What they said is, "Yes, there is electromagnetic pollution and there's a low frequency electrical pollution that's a health hazard and can cause many health problems.

          They suggested that people take a look at a few things. What Southern California Edison said was they thought the biggest polluter was hair dryers, and it's because hair dryers emit or use one of the highest amounts of wattage of electricity of any other appliance.We hold them next to our brain for long periods of time.

          They suggested that hair dryers were probably the biggest offenders and that people should consider not using them or consider limiting their use. Now, I may be misquoting them to some degree or another, but they did say hair dryers - limit your use. That type of thing.
 
 BISER: And what else did they say is bad?

SCHULZE: The next thing that they picked on was LED's or light emitting dials, which are basically the digital numbers that we see on everything from videoplayers to alarm clocks.

          They suggested that light-emitting dials have been looked at around the world as being responsible as a -major source of electrical pollution. The secondary problem is that most of us have a light-emitting dial next to our head where we sleep for eight hours.

          They suggested that you move the alarm clock away from the head of your bed and put it across the room or somewhere else. Now, a lot of people say, "But hey, then I can't turn it off when it rings." You should get up. Get up, walk across the room. That will wake you up.

          So they call those the two big offenders. And believe me, a company that sells electricity is not going to tell you not to use electrical appliances - unless they have come to the conclusion that your lawsuits could cost them more money than selling you electricity. Does that make sense?

BISER: It sure does.

SCHULZE: The other thing that they have talked about in their article was portable telephones.

          You can walk around the house with them.Obviously, they're powerful little units. Especially now; we have the new 900 mHz phones that go for miles.

          There's a massive amount of electrical pollution going right through your head. The biggest thing is to limit your usage of them. Go back to the old cord. It's not so bad after all. Get a long cord. Limit your usage, but when you're using portables, don't touch the antenna to your head. That seems to be the biggest warning: "Don't touch the antenna to any part of yourbody when that unit is on."

          And then the final of the big offenders would be cellular telephones. Even the manufacturers have now included a warning in the sales kit of their cellular telephones, and the warning is, mainly, about the antenna. Keep the antenna off of your body. You see people talking with it and they have it turned in such a way where the antenna is touching their hair or their head. Not a good idea.

"Cardiac drugs can cause depression. Check with your doctor."

SCHULZE: There's a few drugs out there that are quite famous for causing depression - cardiac drugs. All a person has to do is get a Physicians Desk Reference. It's called the PDR. 1995's is the 49th edition.

BISER: And check the drugs they're taking?

SCHULZE: Yes, and check the drugs they're taking. A large amount of drugs - common drugs - that you look up, one of the side effects will be depression.

          What are classics? Heart drugs. And, of course, probably one-third of the people reading this newsletter have been or are on some type of cardiac drug.

          Digitalis, such as Digoxin, or beta blockers or drugs forhypertension: most all the cardiac drugs have a side effect of depression, and people need to be aware of that. Of course, people also have to be aware that they can't just stop these drugs immediately, that it's something that they wean off.

          I don't want anybody saying, "Oh, gosh, okay, my betablocker's depressing me. I see it now, and now I realize that I started getting depressed when I started taking it."

          This is very common, but don't just stop taking it.

          With cardiac drugs, you have to slowly work off them. You can't stop them. We don't want anybody dying. You've got to see your doctor on this one.

"I find it interesting that most people focus in life on the few things that are negative and they miss the majority that is positive."

SCHULZE: Most of my patients would come into my office and, if they have had a gallstone taken out, they acted as though that was all there was to their body or their life. I'd have to remind them, "Hey, you have a heart that's beating every day."

          "You have lungs that are breathing in and out that are working perfectly; your legs get you around, your brain's fine, your hearing's good, and your eyesight's good."

          And what they'd realize is that 98% of their body worked pretty good or worked enough for them to get around, but they had ignored that. They put their entire focus on a gallstone. So, the one thing that I always had to share with my patients was stop focusing on the negativity and start paying attention to all the wonderful things in your life.

          Also, forget the 6:00 o'clock news.

"If you want to get well, don't watch the news. It's the world's greatest nightmares concentrated into a 30-minute program."

BISER: Why? What's wrong with that?

SCHULZE: I guarantee you that the news is depressing your readers' immunity.

          All immune studies today show, without a doubt whatsoever, that (a) that your immune system is comprised of components that listen and react to your emotional dialogue, and (b) that a positive emotional dialogue in your mind enhances and stimulates your immunity and a negative one depresses your immunity.

          Watching the news is not something depressed people should do.

BISER: Is there anything else you want to add before we end for today?

SCHULZE: Yes, I want to tell your readers that all my patients who have healed themselves from a chronic disease realize that it was a blessing from God.

          So, even though it's hard to capture that thought when you're vomiting bile or green worms are coming out your rear end, it is a blessing from God.

          I've come to really understand this in the clinic and all my patients have, too. Disease is a way that your life is interrupted and you're forced on to a different path. We might not know what that is, but I guarantee everybody, it is a blessing.

          What I've come to see is, the worse it gets, the better it gets around the corner. A remarkable, positive new life seems to be almost directly related to how bad it got. One of my patients said to me, "That makes sense because the more manure you put on, the better the flowers are in the spring." I thought, "That sums it up."

          What I've tried to help my patients do is, in the midst of their being upset about their existence in life, try to keep focused on those three things, (1) that it's going to go away (all things will pass), (2) that it is a divine blessing, and (3) the worse it gets, the better it's going to get right around the corner.

          Those three thoughts have helped my patients through their most depressive times. These three thoughts have also helped me through my own times  - when I've been upset or depressed.
