Who am I anyway?
I'm a depression survivor on a mission to help others beat depression and anxiety without having to turn to dangerous antidepressant drugs.
Why you have to be very careful of what you put into your body After years of struggling with prescribed antidepressant drugs to stop my crippling depression and anxiety I decided enough was enough. Sure the drugs worked but at what cost? I could tell from the severity of the side effects I experienced that whatever synthetic material these drugs were made out of they were not meant for long-term human consumption. Not safely anyway, in my opinion.
Based on this observation I set out on a quest for knowledge and enlightenment to learn as much as I could about antidepressants and find out whether or not there was a better and safer alternative treatment out there. Initially my motivation was to solve my own mental health problems but along the way I learned that there were millions of other people just like me seeking answers to the same questions.
I gobbled up every book, article, publication, and study I could find on the topics of depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I studied all of the documented treatments on the marketplace from antidepressants to alternative medicines. I also enlightened myself with all of the cognitive therapy techniques from meditation and breathing exercises to visualization and mental re-programming.
My goal was to dig deep into these issues and unlock the truth. To come up with new answers and techniques to treat depression and anxiety using innovative thinking. To learn whether or not natural herbal cures worked as well as antidepressants and, if so, why we don't hear more about these alternatives.
What I found shocked and disturbed me. Here is a summary of my conclusions :
Pharmaceutical companies that produce and market antidepressants to treat depression and anxiety are enormously powerful and profitable entities. The antidepressant market is a $21 billion dollar a year industry.
Side effects caused by antidepressant drug treatment are widespread and serious. Patients experience everything from sexual dysfunction to suicide and just about everything in between.
Many people end up on a virtual merry-go-round of various antidepressant drugs on the market -switching from one to another looking for the right combination of high effectiveness and low side effects. Well-meaning doctors are partly responsible for this due to their ignorance of natural remedies and the mistaken belief that alternative medicines are at best ineffective and at worst pure quackery.
Many people, out of frustration, simply stop taking their prescription drugs mid-treatment. This by the way is very dangerous. If you decide to stop taking antidepressant drugs make sure you do so under your doctor's care who will decrease the dosages safely over a period of time.
Antidepressant manufacturers operate an aggressive and very expensive two-pronged marketing approach selling to both physicians and directly to consumers.
Pharmaceutical companies suppress and censor important data regarding the risks and effectiveness of the antidepressants they manufacture. This data is hidden from the public using lies and deception.
Pharmaceutical companies are under no obligation to publish drug studies they sponsor and submit to the Food And Drug Administration (FDA) nor are the researchers that are hired to do the work. As a result drug companies submit only favorable studies to medical journals for publication. The negative studies and data regarding their products are suppressed from public view to avoid an adverse impact on sales and profitability.
A study just released (January 2008) by the highly esteemed New England Journal Of Medicine concluded that many antidepressants have little or no effect on patients.
Pharmaceutical companies are concealing critical data from doctors whom we all trust to make good prescribing decisions for us and our health. Because only the positive studies regarding the effectiveness of antidepressants are published, most doctors are in the dark and unaware of all of the negative data that exists. If more doctors were provided all the facts regarding antidepressants there would certainly be fewer prescriptions and thus less profit for the pharmaceutical giants.

My Mission
The more I learned about the dirty little secrets of the antidepressant industry the more upset I became. I felt like I had been duped by the pharmaceutical companies who gladly took a substantial sum of my money every month. Tricked because my doctor wasn't told the truth about the effectiveness and safety of the drugs he recommended. And left unprotected by the government entity (FDA) which was created, and paid for by my tax dollars, to protect me.
I felt compelled to spread the word to keep other people from making the same mistakes. And to find natural alternative medicines that would help me deal with my depression and anxiety in a safer manner. Just like you, I want health and treatment information from someone I can trust.
Clearly, these huge companies are putting money and profit ahead of responsibility and the safety
and well being of the public. I guess this shouldn't be a surprise after the lessons in greed we learned here in America from Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, and Adelphia. Big profitable corporations don't always have their customers, employees, and shareholders best interests in mind. Do they?
What you can do about it
It's simple. Stop giving your hard earned money to these companies that put their bottom line above your health. Take control of your health without dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Join the rapidly-growing ranks of us who have found mental peace and serenity using safe, natural treatments.
- It's time for us to stand up to these corporate bullies and say enough is enough!
- We need to challenge their freedom to be able to distort and hide the truth from us simply to sell us more products that may be harmful
- We need to collectively put an end to drug-industry lobbyists throwing huge money at politicians to keep any major legislation from protecting us the consumers
They way business works in the United States today pharmaceutical firms have no incentive to tell the truth. I mean why should they? There's far too much money to be made, right? The bottom line truth is that the antidepressant industry is driven by greed, lies, and dishonest marketing practices. And who ultimately pays the price? We do.
If you're now taking antidepressants it is incumbent upon you to know the truth. Your health may be at risk. If you're skeptical of the data I've presented here please conduct your own research and form your own opinion. My mind is made up.
Why am I telling you all of this?
Great question. After my revelation and months of self-experimentation I found an all natural product on the marketplace that allowed me to completely discontinue all antidepressant use. It stopped my depression, anxiety, and panic attacks without any of the side effects of antidepressants.
I was so impressed by the product, and my new outlook on life, that I decided to walk away from a lucrative career in finance (where I had spent the previous ten years) and bought the company. I committed myself to helping other people treat their depression and anxiety without risky and deceptive antidepressant drugs.
Doesn't that mean you have a vested interest in the product? Absolutely. My company has bills to pay and so do I. If I was driven solely by money I would have stayed with my previous firm where I was making a decent income.
My primary focus entering this field is to help others beat depression and anxiety safely - without drugs. I am motivated by the desire to expose these powerful companies who I believe are harming and deceiving us.
First and foremost, I'm a depression and anxiety survivor. I've walked in your shoes. I've suffered with depression and anxiety and know exactly what you're going through. It's very disruptive and tough to deal with. Outsiders who've never experienced it truly don't understand. I am purpose-driven and I demonstrate that by all of the free information and support I share with others. Every dollar that flows my way is one less dollar going to the pharmaceutical giants to power their propaganda machine. Unlike them, I do care about your health and safety.
What do pharmaceutical firms think of me?
It should be obvious that I'm not very popular with the pharmaceutical firms. They are threatened by the fact that I am here to tell the truth about safer all-natural solutions for depression and anxiety that compete with their profits. They are well aware of the fact that natural supplements work effectively but fight tooth and nail to keep that information from the public. It threatens their existence.
My promise to you- Keep you informed of pharmaceutical company marketing propaganda and expose the truth about the effectiveness and safety of antidepressant drugs
- To enlighten and introduce you to alternative natural treatment options that work effectively for mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and panic attacks
- To fight for change in the drug industry so well-financed pharmaceutical giants are forced to change their ways for the benefit and safety of the people
- To continually update you on alternative drug-free options that do not endanger your health
- To contribute and defend our personal health freedoms so that we may continue to choose which methods of treatment and medicine we would like to use without government interference
