Robin Williams: Bipolar, Depression, Nutritional Healing, & Med-Free Bipolar Book Giveaway

8/18/2014

33 Comments

 
One week ago, the world heard the news of Robin Williams’ passing.  Since then, many conversations have begun - aimed at removing stigmas associated with illnesses such as depression and bipolar.  These conversations are long overdue, prompted by the loss of a man who felt like a dear and familiar friend.  
Picture
BUT... Of all the articles I’ve read lately discussing depression and bipolar, one very KEY item has been missing .

That key is the nutritive approach to healing mental afflictions.  


Picture
Depression and bipolar (even cases of severe mental illness) have been treated successfully with the nutritive approach. Nutrition is still a very little known method for approaching and treating such disorders, yet the evidence and case studies are mounting by the day (See resources at the end of this article).  It is my hope that healing through nutrition will quickly be accepted by our culture, because the statistics on depression and suicide are staggering.  

Consider the following from the Huffington Post:

  • By 2030, depression will outpace cancer, stroke, war and accidents as the world's leading cause of disability and death, according to the World Health Organization.

  • Each year, 34,000 people commit suicide, about twice as many deaths as caused by homicide -- about one death per 15 minutes.

  • Fully 90 percent of those who take their own lives struggle with an underlying mental health issue.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

I suspect that there will come a time in the not too distant future, when we will all look back and say, “Of course bipolar can be eradicated with nutrients.  Who doesn’t know that!?!?”  Just as Rickets and Scurvy were successfully treated with Vitamin D and Vitamin C respectively, mental health afflictions have their foundational remedy in nutrition as well.

We also learned this past week (in a statement released by Williams’ wife) that besides depression, Mr. Williams had been suffering from the early stages of Parkinson’s.  This further compounds the evidence that essential nutritional elements were missing as cases of Parkinson’s are also being rehabilitated with the nutritive approach.  Again, this is not mainstream knowledge yet (not by a long shot), but the conversation has begun.  A handful of leading edge doctors and individuals are confirming the incredible degree to which micronutrients can heal - over 900 afflictions to date have been successfully treated with optimum micronutrient intake.  

Because I want to get Nutritional Healing information into the hands of as many people as possible, NGD is sponsoring a BIG book giveaway.  I am arranging for 10 paperback copies (minimum) of Med-Free Bipolar by Aspen Morrow*, to be delivered into the hands of selected NGD subscribers who comment on this information. Med-Free Bipolar shot up to the #2 book out of 7000 on the topic following Williams’ death, and #1 in Amazon’s rankings for alternative treatments for mood disorders.  


This book was written by a woman who has survived the ravages of bipolar and has thrived through nutritional treatments to share the  journey - and the healing protocol- with others.

Please, if you know of anyone suffering from similar afflictions, educate yourself!  Pass the information on to their loved ones.  Sometimes a depressed brain cannot help itself, even with the right information.  Once the brain and spirit is “broken”, it needs all the support it can get to begin functioning optimally again.  This support usually comes from friends and loved ones, education, and appropriate treatment.   

If you are interested in spreading awareness or would like to learn more about the nutritive approach to optimal mental health, please leave a comment below, indicating that you would like a paperback copy of Aspen Morrow’s book, Med-Free Bipolar.  Alternatively, feel free to post your thoughts and feelings about Robin Williams’ passing, or share thoughts to honor and remember someone you’ve known who has suffered from any sort of mental affliction.  

The world can’t afford to lose another beautiful soul to this illness.  

Let’s learn from this! 

And...  If you find the information presented here helpful, please share it!

In loving remembrance of those we have lost, and in hope to help those who remain afflicted  to reclaim their health,

*Aspen's career as an international investigative journalist ended abruptly in a hospitalization to a padded cell with a drain in the floor. Told she should apply for disability and not have children due to her mental illness, at age 22, Aspen had given up hope life would ever be normal again. Speaking out for the first time, she shares how she beat the odds and recovered fully. From food stamps to business woman of the year, Aspen has spent the past ten years putting her investigative skills to use to bring to light the latest and greatest natural remedies in mental health care. Learn how thousands have recovered, step by step, in her first book in the Med Free Method™ Book Series: Med Free Bipolar. (Aspen's micronutrient supplement of choice is Q96, found here: www.medfree.myqxlife.com .  Learn more about the creation of Q96 in healing mental illness from the bestselling book "A Promise of Hope", written by Autumn Stringam, daughter of the Q96 blend's founder, HERE.)
