& DEPRESSION
PHYSIOLOGY, PATHOLOGY AND
NATURAL SOLUTIONS

THE SOBERING FACTS

25% OF Americans suffer from
depression
Over 60 Million!
80% of those with anxiety also
have depression
100% of Americans will deal with
stress
ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Anxiety and Long Term
Effects:
 High Blood Pressure
 Inability to Fight Infection
 Deteriorated Muscles
 Ulcers
 Fatigue
 Chronic Disease
 Major Depression
Depression and Long Term
Effects:
 3X More Likely to have
Stroke and HTN
 Increase of Multiple MI’s
 Decreased Concentration
and Memory
 Fatigue
 Inability to Fight Infection
 Chronic Disease
ANXIETY

Autonomic Nervous System (automatic)
 Sends and receives signals everywhere
in your body – like electrical wiring in
your house
 Controls Sympathetic: “Fight or Flight”
 Controls Parasympathetic: brings
sympathetic back down
ANXIETY
Event or idea happens that
brain interprets as threatening
 Activates the “fight or flight”




Hypothalamus sends a signal to
the amygdala
Amygdala sends signal to adrenal
gland to release cortisol
Cortisol causes increased heart
rate, sweating hands, shaking,
faster breathing
DEPRESSION
Amygdala and hippocampus control the
“happy drugs” in your brain (a.k.a.
neurotransmitters such as dopamine) and
are not working correctly
 AND/OR
 Too much cortisol in the
system…especially from long-term anxiety

From Dr. Ann Blake Tracy
What these drugs do; they work by
increasing serotonin levels and they impair
the body's ability to metabolize serotonin.
 They literally interfere with your
metabolism, so that serotonin will build up
in the system.
 When serotonin builds up we know that it
produces irritability, pain around the
heart, difficulty breathing, worsening
bronchial complaints, tension and anxiety
that appear from out of nowhere—the list
is long.

What You Need to Know

Research on serotonin reveals that serotonin
levels are high in:
Schizophrenia
 Autism
 Mania
 Mood disorders
 Organic brain disease
 Alzheimer's
 Anorexia
Anyone want to stand in line for those...and yet we've
been lead to believe that we need to increase serotonin
levels!

From Dr. Ann Blake Tracy
Dr. Candis Pert was one of the two
developers of the serotonin binding
process that made these drugs possible.
 She made a statement in Time magazine
several years ago, calling these drugs
"Monsters".
 Never in the history of medicine has a
developer of any particular medication
come out as strongly as Dr. Pert did,
especially while the drugs were still on the
market.

From Dr. Ann Blake Tracy - Quotes

Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical company is the company that introduced
Prozac to the world which was the drug that everyone else copied
to get their cut of that golden goose because Prozac made so
much money for Lilly.

You need to know something about Lilly; and that is the fact that
it is the same company who gave us LSD in 1956. We were told
that LSD was going to cure mental illness and alcoholism and was
going to aid in psychoanalysis–I don't think any of us believe that
today!...

I wonder if they just pulled out all their old files and said let's call
it Prozac this time and see how far we can get. Because LSD and
PCP (by the way PCP was a safe effective prescription medication
for seven years before it got pulled off the market–LSD took an
act of congress to pull), these two drugs are also serenic agents
that work almost identically to these new antidepressants.
From Dr. Ann Blake Tracy - Quotes

“We have studies now that show Prozac turns brain cells
into cork screw shapes (which is a technical/medical way of
saying it screws up your brain).”

“Serotonin has just been found to cause liver damage and
there is now a black-box warning.”

“My first concern on these medications was not the changes
in personality, but it was the damage to the liver and the
damage to the pancreas. I had one young patient who has
been on Prozac for one year, he was a returning Mormon
missionary, so you know he did not drink, he never touched
alcohol in his life. After a year on Prozac the doctors tested
his liver and told him he had the liver of a 50 year old
alcoholic.”
The Rest of the Story…

According to Dr. Tracy, nothing reaches
brain cells faster and begins the body's
own healing process better than these
UNIQUE essential oils.

Essential oils work directly on
amygdala
Central headquarters of the limbic
system
Manages the storage and filing
system for all emotional
experiences.
Responds to smells and elicits
emotional response.
Rational brain responds to other
four senses
Physiology of Emotions & EO
Amygdala is coordinator, not stored here
 Amygdala assigns part of body
 Body has >100 trillion cells each with a
DNA strand
 Each cell capable of storing up to 6
gigabytes of memory

Physiology of Emotions & EO
Cross Blood Brain Barrier - <500amu
 One drop – 40 million trillion molecules
 40,000 molecules per cell
 Only takes one molecule of right oil
 Receptor sites = portals with locks
 EO are the KEYS to fit locks

alarming rate

Brain Power: gets the pineal gland to
work again, its been overloaded with too
much serotonin


Main function of the pineal gland is metabolism
of serotonin.
It handles 50% of the serotonin in the system

Frankincense: for potential cancer

Paxil increases the risk
of breast cancer by 7%.

EXERCISE
Exercise vs. Zoloft
Exercise 4X per week
After 12 weeks had equal
results
After 10 months the
exercising group blew
the socks off the Zoloft
group!

Studies show that exercise three times a day for one-half hour is eight
times greater than antidepressants—no side effects either!
