Hi my name is Lynn. I was ill at around 22 and found myself in a mental hospital. I was told I had manic depression and it was a chemical imbalance in my brain and genetic and I would need medications for life as there wasn’t any cure. So I was started on various meds and over the years I was swapped about on meds and sometimes I was ill and sometimes well and off meds. This went on for decades until I got diabetes and the internet arrived in our home. Then I started looking up things about that and stumbled across Kelly Brogan MD and started to listen to her and the people she had helped get well.

I bought her book and found a few others to follow on social media and I started to make big changes in my diet, like giving up coffee, alcohol (not that I drank much), and I swapped sugar for real honey. I started juicing and found Jason Vale the juice master and then the medical medium Anthony William. I bought all of Anthony’s books and started the celery juicing and the heavy metal detox smoothie. I got myself tested with a hair test and it said metals and chemicals , so I worked on supplements and smoothies and juicing and salads and soups. I ate red meat like lamb and I started to feel better.

I was on olanzapine 10mg and a sleeping pill, so I started to wean off those. I felt very ill doing this and it was tough as my doctor was against it all. But after 14 months I managed to get off all my meds for bipolar and asthma and I started to feel well. I then trained as a nutritionist and I specialise in mental health of course. Not many people get over bipolar, but I live after ten years of being well and very clean and I haven’t gone back to my old foods of grains, cheese and sugar. I stick with my meals and drinks and I’m very mindful of how I’m feeling and if I get tired I rest and avoid being too busy. I am truly well and feel great at 60 - better than I did at 22.

I hope this inspires others to work on their health and keep at it until well. Kind regards Lynn.

Warning

 

The most extreme reactions to antidepressants, including suicide and violence, are more common when the dosage of an antidepressant changes or when starting or discontinuing the medication. Sometimes these reactions are caused by switching from one type of antidepressant to another. Anyone considering altering the dosage of their medication or withdrawing from it should take medical advice first from a doctor or suitably qualified practitioner. Some doctors are unaware of these issues so you may need to find one who recognises the problems and can support you.
