In 1997 as I was finishing my training as a cardiologist I started waking up with this impending sense of doom new was quite scary so I went to consult a colleague a psychiatrist and I remember him telling me you are not producing enough serotonin he was going to his head he said your brain is not producing enough to returning so he gave me an antidepressant medication that would increase the levels of serotonin in my brain years later because I didn't really want to take that approach I took off in learned other things and years later I found out that in fact serotonin or ninety percent to the serotonin in a healthy person at any given moment is manufactured in the gut what do I mean around our intestines is a bigger brain in the brain inside our skulls so our main serotonin manufacturing plant easy not God and because we're eating toxic foods n food de Boer devoid of nutrition this factory is working some optimally for most people around so our God has many different functions he digests food each absorbs food and then there's a new moon system around the guidance protecting us from whatever is absorbed and around need is the nervous system now when things are fine are nervous system is producing serotonin but when the guy is disrupted any in the toxins killed the good bacteria make holes in the intestinal wall in elite aids the nuances 10 the nervous system is busy trying to compensate entry going on the survival mechanisms and therefore cannot focus on manufacturing serotonin not only that but the raw materials the amino acids vitamins that it takes for our new rooms to put together sir Tony in may not even be there because we having such diet devoid of nutrition and therefore we cannot manufacture in acetone and that he's way we are all depressed the challenge with the way the depressions treated these days is the same and address to the chronic diseases in the modern world the pill foreign ill approach doesn't work because in a way giving antidepressants to somebody that's not producing an answer toning is late being tired horse eventually the horses gonna collapse and you have to add a second any third medication he's much better to turn up our natural manufacturing plant which is in the gate there's a few components that we need to address in order to fix

these in start manufacturing happiness one then means reducing or avoiding the exposure to toxic chemicals the second one ease creating the conditions forgot repair a third when he's once the goods repaired in able to digest in absorbed providing need with the right nutrients necessary for manufacturing a certain time by reducing toxicity you're reducing the damage dead this toxic chemicals create and then they need of the body to trigger adaptation survival and repair mechanisms that is on attention that is taken away from manufacturing serotonin by repairing the God you doing the same thing because the a broken God a damaged got trainers lots have reactions in the immune system around it in distracts the nervous system from the production of serotonin and by providing the right nutrients you actually providing the needed building blocks that the new runs are going to need in order to manufacture the serotonin itself after my consultation with the psychiatrist in which I was told that my new ruins were not producing enough serotonin and I was given a prescription medication for that I remember looking at this prescription and thinking well how did my new fans forget how to do their chemistry years later through detox got repair right nutrition I came to the conclusion that my new rims had not forgotten how to do the chemistry they were just too distracted and didn't have the right raw materials to do so once I addressed this issues my happiness went through the roof without the need of any medication whatsoever depression is a worldwide epidemic but with this information there is hope I've had hundreds of people get back to happen stayed in a much more natural way
