 Dear Reader,
I couldn't even tell you how many people I've known over the years who have struggled with depression.
But what I can tell you is that they all say the very same thing — that the "cure" is almost worse than the illness.
Some have had serious problems with Big Pharma's drugs for depression. But even those who haven't experienced major side effects have all said they just don't feel like themselves anymore. They feel like they've become completely different people — people they don't like.
But what are you to do? Depression is a serious illness, one that can't go ignored.
Previously, I wrote about research showing that low levels of vitamin B are linked to depression, and that getting more B vitamins could be one way of combating the illness.
Today, there's more good news to share. And this supplement is probably one you're already taking, because there's plenty of research showing it fights everything from arthritis to "sticky" blood.
I'm talking about fish oil.
In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, researchers put the oil to the test with a group of 432 patients suffering from moderate (or worse) depression. And the results were pretty promising. After eight weeks, patients had improved significantly.
Some patients were already taking antidepressants, but others weren't — and there wasn't any difference in the effects of fish oil on those groups. There was one catch though — the fish oil only seemed to help those patients who weren't also suffering from an anxiety disorder.
It's all about the omega-3 fatty acids in the oil. Previous research has shown that these acids might be involved in the function of brain chemicals linked to depression. The researchers tested a fish-oil supplement containing 1,050 milligrams per day of EPA and 150 milligrams per day of DHA. This ratio seems to be key in achieving the results seen in the study.
The next step, say researchers, is to compare fish oil to antidepressants. In the meantime, though, I'll certainly be sharing the results of this study with friends who need the good news.

Can a 14-year-old have arthritis?
Q: My son, who is 14, has been complaining of knee pain for about a month. Is it possible for someone his age to have arthritis? He hasn't been injured, so that's the only thing I can think of. Is there anything we can do for him besides giving him painkillers?
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: When knee pain occurs in children between the ages of 10 and 15, it's not typically arthritis. Instead, it's usually a condition called Osgood Schlatter's disease, which is characterized by a tender swelling an inch or two below the kneecap, right over the front and top of the tibial bone.
Most paediatricians will tell you that there's nothing to do except take aspirin and wait for it to go away. But that can take a year or more, and in the meantime, the child has to sit on the sidelines and watch his classmates play.
But there's a better solution: 250 micrograms of selenium and 400 IU of vitamin E as mixed tocopherols will usually get rid of the pain in just four to six weeks. I'm not sure why most paediatricians haven't heard of this simple technique, but I've been writing about it since 1979.
Of course, as always, it's best to confer with a doctor skilled in nutritional and natural medicine before starting yourself or anyone in your family on a new supplement regimen.
