Thanks. It's always good to hear of someone getting results from mother nature. I started bathing in seaweed today however I could only use about 300 grams, I also ate some of it, a little salty but not too bad. I have psoriasis and have been told that eczema is a very similar condition. Thanks for sharing your info. Nat Hi,

It is pretty amazing how effective the seaweed is. i have had eczema for 52 years and in my experience nothing else has ever given such immediate healing. the sores and redness disappear considerably by the next morning. i just recieved 10 bags of it from ireland. i will post back after i finish all of the bags.

Now when I itch my skin bleeds very easily because there is not much there. I will never use cortisone creams again. The doctors do not give enough warning about this. I find that taking baths in epsom salt will relieve the skin of itching. Dead sea salts are really good too and seaweed is the best of all. I use ice packs also. I am trying to erradicate the itching through diet since itching comes from too much internal heat and an overabundance of yeast in the system which is called candida. Some foods will feed the yeast and make more <!--more--> heat. I have been able to totally clear my eczema in the past through an anti-candida diet. It takes alot of discipline but is well worth the effort. I wish you all the best in your healing. ~Celeste Dear Claudia,

Nice to know you're working on them instead of burying them. Have you heard of EFT (download free manual at www.emofree.com)? It can really shortcut your therapy time and change your mood instantly once you know how to do it. It's not that hard and there are loads of resources on the website. Amino acid deficiency, not medication deficiency is a huge part of depression that is usually overlooked. Search google for depression and amino acids. Just one essential amino acid missing can make the brain go haywire. I first read about it in a book called The Diet Cure (I think that's what's it's called...it's out on loan) and after years of being addicted to chocolate I finally cured it in ONE DAY with Ganoderma (Reishi mushroom) that is amino acid rich.

In cases where depression and/or anxiety are severe herbs & nutrition just don't cut it. I have suffered from severe insomnia, anxiety, hypervenalation, irritable bowel & depression since 1993. Personally, I definitely needed some prescriptions to calm me down. I think the secondary thing to be addressed is things one has to change in one's life. Unfortunately no doctors emphasized on how important a strict diet of unprocessed foods and helpful herbs can help. I went through years of counseling, been to many different psychiatrists and have tried many different drugs. Even after telling them that I still think there was something wrong with me physically they kept telling me "it's all in my head". That's ridiculous because there has to be something wrong physically to make me change mentally. Now, of course, they say (admit) it's "chemical imbalances". I could have told them that! What I feel you need to understand is that people get to a certain point before they realize how depressed or anxious they are until the damage has <!--more--> been done. This especially pertains to people, like myself, who have been abused or suffered emotional/physical trauma. Sometimes the symptoms don't appear until one day, BOOM, you suddenly are having a panic attack and think you are dying. Or, for instance, you wake up one morning and you are so severely depressed you can't function. Since I have been in that state I know that all that person wants is quick relief. The meds I have been on have helped me function (like actually going to work) while at the same time seeking counseling and working on my emotional issues. I have cut down on the depression meds I am taking but I still need to take them. Also, since most doctors just want to write you a prescription it's hard to figure out what, if anything, can be helped by diet and herbs. Thankfully we have the internet and discuss these issues or else a lot of us would not know anything except what our doctors tell us. Alison, Chicago Hi Claudia, I'm sorry that I came across as judging. My tone was one of concern. I just want you to know that there are options. The physiological causes of depression can be addressed so there is no need for antidepressants. -Raine I have to have a difference of opinion with you here. In cases where
