5.0 out of 5 stars Dr Puri's advice cured my 20 year depression., 9 Nov 2004

By

"info37806" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Natural Way to Beat Depression: The Groundbreaking Discovery of EPA to Successfully Conquer Depression (Paperback)

I can't understand some of the other reviewers total negativity towards this book. Is it such a crime to offer the possibility of an alternative/complementary solution to prescription medication that cause such terrible side-effects?

I've suffered with bouts of clinical depression for over 20 years and had already come across high EPA fish oils when I read Puri's book "The Natural Way to Beat Depression". Thanks to daily dosages of high EPA oils (exactly, as prescribed by Puri) I now consider myself to be back in control. I no longer suffer with the constant anxiety, or those long lasting black moods. If I get down, it's a normal downer and not a depression downer. I even got through my father's recent death without having another breakdown. And, I no longer take any medication - with my doctor's approval.

I'm sure that the advice Puri offers won't help everyone, but he never promises it will. The techniques he suggests are safe and natural and can be tried out over a short period of time, alongside existing medication. It may provide the whole answer, or just a part, or nothing at all.

Please read this book, what have you to lose? And, it really could change your life for the better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Natural Way to Beat Depression - EPA WOW!!!, 26 Mar 2004

By

"only1jackieb" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Natural Way to Beat Depression: The Groundbreaking Discovery of EPA to Change Your Life (Hardcover)

I have suffered from depression for over three years and only diagnosed in the last six months. What a relief to find a book that is down to earth and understandable in laymans terms and the concepts actually work. HOORAY This book has helped me immensely and it was only by chance that I even knew it existed. I was browsing through Amazons offers and this was a recommendation.

THANK YOU so much - I have passed on the title and authors information to several friends and family members whom I think will benefit from this very informative book.

I would recommend to any body who suffers or knows a sufferer of depression.

5.0 out of 5 stars May not help everyone but worth a try, much safer than most Antidepressants, 22 July 2008

By

Hat'n'coat - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Natural Way to Beat Depression: The Groundbreaking Discovery of EPA to Change Your Life (Hardcover)

I benefitted greatly from using EPA's at the doses recommended in this book, having been bed-bound with depression for almost a year, and made 100 times worse by conventional antidepressants, which actually made me feel suicidal which I didn't feel off the tablets.
I only came across this book through a very strange set of coincidences, or what I as a Christian like to think of as "God-incidences":
During one of my rare lucid spells whan I was searching the internet for Sunday school resources, the first book that came up in the 'religious' category in the search engine was this title! Thinking maybe someone was trying to tell me something, I immediately ordered the book. When I read it I nearly fell through the floor. I used to sell a version of high EPA capsule licensed for heart disease nearly 20 years ago as a pharmaceutical sales rep. so understood the pharmacology behind the substance and was totally convinced of its safety. When I went to my GP, they had never come across the product or its use in depression, but researched it on the internet and seeing all the medical trial work related to fish oils improving mind performance and depression, were happy to let me try. Within weeks I was feeling better, and able to review my life and take up full-time study again a few short months later.
I have recommended this book to many friends suffering from depression - some have benefitted from taking EPA, some have not. You won't know till you try.
