You may have seen all the media on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, The Today Show, and many others about how Wiggle frontman, Anthony Field was handicapped by chronic pain, chronic fatigue, misdiagnosed fibromyalgia and clinical depression during his 20 years on the road.

Watch Anthony Fields interviews on CNN and The Today Show where he discusses the inflammation-depression connection approach;

What about you? Are you doing everything, “naturally” to ease your depression?
Here is an important question for you…
Does your doctor practice empathy when treating your depression? or does your doctor treat your depression like the common cold and just give you pills?
If the answer is, YES… This lecture may help you understand the Inflammation-Depression Connection and how to approach it, naturally!
Depression is a mood disorder that affects serotonin levels in the brain. Because of its physiological cause, many people believe that clinical depression must be cured through chemical intervention.
High levels of inflammation reduce levels of serotonin.
All scientists know this! In fact if you go to Pub Med and search the database of scientific papers there are over 4000 articles or studies that connect inflammation to depression.
In fact, many scientists state that depression is an inflammatory disorder.
Read this paper “Is depression an inflammatory disorder?“ by Charles L. Raison from the Mind-Body Program; Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine who summarizes all the studies for you. The paper is offered free here from this link.
So why dont you know this?
Instead of recommending that you reduce inflammation by attacking the sources of inflammation in your body like muscle and joint inflammation, dietary inflammation, inflammation from airborne particles and inflammation caused by stress, many doctors just give you antidepressants to keep the serotonin from being recycled and away you go.
Do you know there is a drug approved in Europe that does the opposite of the selective serotonin inhibitors (antidepressants) that claims to be just as effective?
Confusing? Of course it is!
Maybe you need to do more research!
