There are a few natural whole food supplement companies that were always thought to be “The Best”- – – but not anymore. Here are a few examples of what has sadly happened to them:

• Garden of Life says they’re committed to natural, organic ingredients. But they were bought out by Nestle, the world’s largest food and beverage company. The whole story behind Nestle is criminal.  Now I don’t trust anything in the Nestle/Garden of Life product line, because of their crooked history. “Nestle is a company that is a known global bully for their laundry list of crimes against humanity and deception on the quality of their products.” (read more here)

• MegaFoods used to be my personal favorite. THEN I noticed they added (under “other ingredients”) a big no-no for people who avoid neurotoxins: autolyzed yeast extract. (Autolyzed yeast extract is always a neurotoxic MSG-forming compound). MegaFood is now owned by Big 14 vitamin manufacturer, Pharmavite/Otsuka. When I called the home office to ask about the offending autolyzed yeast extract, a supervisor told me they added it immediately after the buyout and that sales had dropped off after numerous complaints.

• New Chapter sold out to Proctor & Gamble.

• Country Life sold out to Kikkoman.

• Centrum and Emergen-C sold out to PFIZER!

• Swanson sold out to global equity firm Swander Pace Capital in 2016.

And I could go on and on…

Whole Food vs. Synthetic Supplements: What’s the Real Difference?

Whole food supplements are exactly what they sound like—nutrients derived directly from real, natural foods. They’re made by concentrating and dehydrating whole fruits, vegetables, herbs, sea vegetables and other plant-based sources to retain their full spectrum of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients. Unlike synthetic supplements that isolate individual nutrients, whole food supplements keep these nutrients in their natural, complex form (usually through freeze-drying).

Your body recognizes and absorbs whole food more efficiently because they are created with all the natural cofactors—like fiber, enzymes, and antioxidants—that help with digestion and nutrient uptake.

Synthetic supplements, on the other hand, are man-made in a processing plant. They’re designed to mimic the chemical structure of natural vitamins and minerals. Instead, they’re derived through chemical reactions using ingredients like petroleum derivatives, coal tar, or other industrial compounds.

Synthetic supplements lack the natural cofactors found in the WHOLE food. While the nutrient may look the same under a microscope, your body has a harder time recognizing and absorbing the nutrients, meaning your body may only absorb a fraction of what’s in the pill. Synthetic vitamins can also cause imbalances because they don’t work in harmony with the other nutrients your body needs.

Better Food Based Companies

Naturelo is one of the better whole food supplements which combines powerful, natural ingredients to enhance its bioactive benefits. It includes premium plant-based vitamins and minerals such:

• Iodine from hand-harvested kelp (People who eat seaweed seldom have mineral deficiencies. The seaweed Kelp naturally contains iodine, along with over 90 other essential minerals which your body uses properly.)

• Vitamin D3 from wild-harvested lichen, Vitamin E from sunflower

• Calcium and Magnesium from marine algae

• Vitamin K2 as MK-7, and chelated minerals like Zinc and Selenium, for better absorption and bioavailability

Its bioactive ingredients include activated B vitamins like B6 from P-5-P, MTHFR-friendly B12 (from methylcobalamin) and Active L-5-Methylfolate (folate, not typical folic acid).

What a breath of fresh air to find a multi-vitamin from real food sources. This is what the label should look like:

Enlarge to read detail.

And Pure Synergy is another one. It isn’t classified as a multivitamin, but I think it’s even better. It contains all the nutrients (including Kelp) from REAL FOOD in God-given balanced amounts.

This is what I have chosen for my husband and myself. This very powerful blend is organic certified by Oregon Tilth (which in my opinion as organic farmers ourselves, is one of the best certifiers), plastic-free (in glass) dairy-free, gluten-free, tested for heavy metals, microbes, and gluten. It is functional nutrition that is made from fermented whole foods, which make them easier to digest and healing to our stomach.

(With either one of these supplements, I anticipate (certainly not speaking for everyone) I may be able to stop my expensive MTHFR methylated-B complex that I wrote about here. With Pure Synergy Superfood, I may also be able to stop my digestive enzyme, iodine, green powder, mushroom powder, and possibly more.)

Enlarge to read:

By adding Kelp and other complete organic whole foods (nothing synthetic) into your daily diet (delivering synergistic vitamins, minerals, enzymes, co-factors and phytonutrients), you can expect:

• Increased energy, reduced fatigue, balanced metabolism and better brain processing because the body knows what to do with properly grown, God-given food. Man-made junk confuses it.

• Better digestion, enhanced nutrient absorption, improved immune function

• Healthier skin, hair, bones, nails and more

What About the Companies?

Remember this post? Look Who’s Controlling Our Natural Supplements? It reveals that almost ALL the companies that we used to totally trust are now bought up by giant conglomerations like Pfizer, Clorox, P&G, Nestle, Bayer. etc. etc.

At last check, NATURELO^® is owned by Arcadia Consumer Healthcare, Inc., NOT one of the Big 14 Mega-Corps listed below.

And, at last check, Pure Synergy is still independently owned.

“Cleaner” Whole Food Supplement Companies

Some other safer, fully-natural companies I now order from (until they get swallowed up by the greedy mega-corps) are:

• Pure Synergy (I am very excited about this company. Check out their prenatal, PureNatal)

• Paleo Valley – unique, clean, whole food supplements

• Standard Process – Dr. Royal Lee recognized nutritional deficiencies caused by processed foods and industrial food production back in 1923. They pioneered innovation in whole food nutrition using organic and regenerative farming practices.

• Professional Formulas – founded in 1984, Professional Formulas delivers high-quality, practitioner-grade supplements designed to address a wide range of health needs. (I wrote, down near the end of these posts, about their products and how to use them for Shingles, Epstein-Barr Virus and Lyme.) We use these regularly alongside TRS.

• Dr. Christopher’s Formula’s – a wonderful array of solid, clean formula’s developed by Dr. John R. Christopher himself many years ago! I love his School of Natural Healing book.

• NutraMedix – U.S. made tinctures with many different product categories.

• Purely Beneficial – no fillers, no artificial ingredients, no harmful preservatives. I love their Resveratrol 1450.

• Microbiome Labs – The best you can buy for adults. Completely clean, cutting-edge spore-based probiotic nutritional supplements effectively recondition the adult gut. Survive body heat and stomach acid. MegaSporeBiotic and MegaMucosa fully healed my gut. 

• Solaray – not perfect, and has been bought out, but has far fewer additives, has very good herbs and blends like these) to offer a MUCH higher quality product than, say, popular NOW brand

• Ancient Nutrition – Organic Alkalizing Super Greens, Collagen Peptides, very complete whole foods, including mushrooms and probiotics, often fermented, for different needs, etc.

• Traditional Medicinals – Pharmacopeial grade medicinal herbs formulated by professional herbalists for high-quality, tested, effective teas. (See other tea brands that test free from pesticides here).

• Paradise Herbs – organic & wild-crafted ingredients, probiotics, mushrooms and enzymes

I’m sure there are a few more… Do you know of other ‘clean’ whole food companies I can add here?

The post Rethinking Supplements: Why I’m Taking Whole Food Supplements appeared first on Deep Roots at Home.

Is Plandemic 2.0 already underway? In my last post, in an explosive interview, Dr. David Martin revealed an ‘Event 201’ Style Document with chilling details behind a government “scenario” involving a bioterror attack set for July 4th, 2025—and the powerful role Palantir could play in managing the digital control grid that follows. The document specifically mentions Nipah Virus.

Hopefully, we do not need a way to combat it EVER, but people are asking how to prepare anyway.

Though this video is quite years old, it contains accurate basic information as we know it to date. 2 minutes. (Though it has been hidden from us, I will share how we can treat Nipah naturally and early without needing to freak out.)

The Nipah virus was first identified in 1999 after causing disease in animals and humans in Malaysia. People of all ages are at risk for Nipah virus in locations in Asia where the virus is active in local animal populations. Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore have been known to have previously reported outbreaks. (source)

Since Nipah (NiV) is obviously viral, we do have some ideas of how to treat it naturally, if ever needed. (I will continue to revise this as I have new information.)

In a VERY recent (10 May 2025) Virology Journal study entitled “The rising threat of Nipah virus…”, we read, “Regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. FDA, EMA… should consider emergency pathways [for Nipah virus] similar to those used for Ebola during the 2014–2016 outbreak.” (source)

I read that to mean we CAN treat Nipah virus similarly to Ebola virus.

Several years ago I researched and compiled how to prevent and treat Ebola (aka hemorrhagic fever) according to credible studies I could find – here and here.

We have quite a few treatment options:

1. Preventatively and Therapeutically, Nebulize with Nanosilver For Nipah Virus:

As we saw during Covid, having a desktop nebulizer (like this one) in every home before you need it was really wise.

(In reality, nebulizing can be used for ANY “virus” including Nipah virus, also sinus infections, COPD, cystic fibrosis, mold, asthma and more.) (source)

In the event of exposure to Ebola (again, any virus), immediately and regularly nebulizing with nanosilver (into the lungs), is an effective way to get it into the bloodstream, cells and tissues of the human body quickly and effectively – faster than oral ingestion.

In one study treating Nipah, a nebulizer was the delivery mechanism used. This establishes that nebulizing is a successful delivery method.

A 2009 DOD study found that Nanosilver Inhibits Ebola Virus, but the fact was never reported to the public as a viable therapeutic. Rima E. Laibow, MD, tried to alert the public to the DoD report, but it was quickly suppressed. She did exactly what I would have done, yet the FDA ordered her to stop.

This PubMed study agrees and is representative of others you can find if you dig deep enough. Example, this study reveals nanosilver is indeed effective against viruses including hemorrhagic fever-inducing viruses.

This is the nanosilver we nebulize (20PPM). and the nebulizer we use.

Indeed, if I was to be exposed to a person infected with any suspect serious virus, the first thing I’d do would be to nebulize nanosilver. Go to this post for the whole context.

2. Preventatively and Therapeutically, Nebulize with Hydrogen Peroxide:

I would also nebulize hydrogen peroxide (HP) alternating every other day using Dr. Mercola’s protocol. It saved many thousands and thousands of lives from hospitalization during Covid.  You can also add Lugol’s iodine 2% to it, as Mercola recommends. Go to this post for the whole context.

Related: 4 Nebulizer Treatments We Can Do at Home to Stay Out of the Hospital

Note: Nasal rinses are not needed since Nipah or Marburg virus are not spread in the air as is SARS-CoV-2 (“Covid”).

3. Treat Nipah Virus with Methylene Blue 1% here (see section ‘Protocol Using MB & Light Therapy’)

It turns out, oral Methylene Blue (1%) is highly medicinal for MANY diseases, especially “viruses.” (This is not the place to debate the existence of “viruses”, which I believe are really man-made toxins).

Methylene Blue (1%) is FDA-approved to treat methemoglobinemia, where the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells is impaired – say when your pulse-oximeter reads 92 or lower.

Severely-affected respiratory patients often experience this lack of ability to carry oxygen. (source)  Methylene blue would also address respiratory infection from Nipah virus.

4. See the section “Readily Available Homeopathics for Viruses” in this post here.

5. Anthocyanins May Block “Engineered” Attacks on Our Blood

A deadly over-expression of CD38 glycoprotein is purported to be the result of exposure to viral or nanoparticle attack.

Anthocyanins could mitigate or halt it, thereby preventing death. (source)

Dr. J.E. Williams reveals how to regulate/suppress CD38 production using anthocyanins found in high levels in black currents, elderberries, blackberries, acai berries, aroniaberries (chokeberries), dark purple grapes, raspberries, blueberries (esp. wild), red cabbage, purple corn, purple rice, and the red algae found in astaxanthin. 

These is what I purchased for our extended family during Covid. (I share the links below so you can read about them.)

Sources: Aronia (chokeberry) powder, Black Currant Berry extract powder, Acai powder, Berry Power, elderberries(dried), Astaxanthin, and Hawaiian spirulina.

This post contains a lot more immune-building, protective dark red and purple-colored foods.

There is no down side to consuming more anthocyanins as a prevention strategy against the possibility of exposure to any new biological weapon.

6. Lastly, I’m a big believer in regular detoxing/binding toxins using Advanced TRS.

With a simple oral spray using this product, we gradually decrease our toxic load and resulting inflammation so we can fight invaders better. We can protect ourselves from what is sprayed on us from the sky daily, toxic contrast in MRIs, aluminum tucked away in the brain after children’s vaccines, and so much more. I far prefer Advanced TRS (due to its cost-effectiveness and safety) to harsh EDTA (which is typically done via IV in a clinic and expensive). Learn why pure Advanced TRS is more effective than any earth-mined zeolite product. 

I’m praying this latest scary story turns out to be just that. Continue to build your immune system regardless.

The post So How Do We Prepare For Predicted Nipah Virus Plandemic? appeared first on Deep Roots at Home.

Magnesium deficiency is often misdiagnosed because it does not show up in blood tests – only 1% of the body’s magnesium is stored in the blood.

Most doctors and laboratories don’t even include magnesium status in routine blood tests. Thus, most doctors don’t know when their patients are deficient in magnesium, even though studies show that the majority of Americans are deficient in magnesium.

Consider Dr. Norman Shealy’s statements, “Every known illness is associated with a magnesium deficiency” and that, “magnesium is the most critical mineral required for electrical stability of every cell in the body. A magnesium deficiency may be responsible for more diseases than any other nutrient.” The truth he states exposes a gapping hole in modern medicine that explains a good deal about iatrogenic death and disease. Because magnesium deficiency is largely overlooked, millions of Americans suffer needlessly or are having their symptoms treated with expensive drugs when they could be prevented or cured with magnesium supplementation.

Few people are aware of the enormous role magnesium plays in our bodies. Magnesium is by far the most important mineral in the body. After oxygen, water, and basic food, magnesium may be the most important element needed by our bodies; vitally important, yet hardly known. It is more important than calcium, potassium or sodium and regulates all three of them.

Millions suffer daily from magnesium deficiency without even knowing it. Between 50-80% of us.

In fact, there happens to be a relationship between what we perceive as thirst and a deficiencies in electrolytes. I remember a person asking, “Why am I dehydrated and thirsty when I drink so much water?” Thirst can mean not only lack of water but it can also mean that one is not getting enough nutrients and electrolytes.

It is a torment to be magnesium deficient on one level or another. Even if it’s for the enthusiastic sport person whose athletic performance is down, magnesium deficiency will disturb sleep and background stress levels and a host of other things that reflect on the quality of life. Doctors have not been using the appropriate test for magnesium – their serum blood tests just distort their perceptions. Magnesium has been off their radar screens through the decades that magnesium deficiencies have snowballed.

Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency

The first symptoms of deficiency can be subtle – as most magnesium is stored in the tissues, leg cramps, foot pain, or muscle ‘twitches’ (restless leg) can be the first sign. Other early signs of deficiency include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weakness. As magnesium deficiency worsens, numbness, tingling, seizures, personality changes, abnormal heart rhythms, and coronary spasms can occur.

A full outline of magnesium deficiency was beautifully presented in a recent article by Dr. Sidney Baker:

“Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can’t take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot.”

“Symptoms involving impaired contraction of smooth muscles include constipation; urinary spasms; menstrual cramps; difficulty swallowing or a lump in the throat-especially provoked by eating sugar; photophobia, especially difficulty adjusting to oncoming bright headlights in the absence of eye disease; and loud noise sensitivity from stapedius muscle tension in the ear.”

“Continuing with the symptoms of magnesium deficiency, the central nervous system is markedly affected. Symptoms include insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness with constant movement, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and premenstrual irritability. Magnesium deficiency symptoms involving the peripheral nervous system include numbness, tingling, and other abnormal sensations, such as zips, zaps and vibratory sensations.”

“Symptoms or signs of the cardiovascular system include palpitations, heart arrhythmias, and angina due to spasms of the coronary arteries, high blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse. Be aware that not all of the symptoms need to be present to presume magnesium deficiency; but, many of them often occur together. For example, people with mitral valve prolapse frequently have palpitations, anxiety, panic attacks and premenstrual symptoms. People with magnesium deficiency often seem to be “uptight.”“

Magnesium is needed by every cell in the body including those of the brain. The body requires magnesium to absorb and utilize nutrients. Without magnesium the body cannot properly use the fats, proteins and carbohydrates we eat every day. We are in a way, STARVING. Magnesium is needed not only for the production of specific detoxification enzymes but is also important for energy production related to cell detoxification. A magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every system of the body.

One of the principle reason doctors write millions of prescriptions for tranquilizers each year is the nervousness, irritability, and jitters largely brought on by inadequate diets lacking magnesium. Persons only slightly deficient in magnesium become irritable, highly-strung, and sensitive to noise, hyper-excitable, apprehensive and belligerent. If the deficiency is more severe or prolonged, they may develop twitching, tremors, irregular pulse, insomnia, muscle weakness, jerkiness and leg and foot cramps.

If magnesium is severely deficient, the brain is particularly affected. Clouded thinking, confusion, disorientation, and marked depression are largely brought on by a lack of this nutrient and remedied when magnesium is given. Because large amounts of calcium are lost in the urine when magnesium is under-supplied, the lack of this nutrient indirectly becomes responsible for much rampant tooth decay, poor bone development, osteoporosis and slow healing of broken bones and fractures.

With vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), magnesium helps to reduce and dissolve calcium phosphate kidney stones. (It may by inference also help drive calcium our of tissues where is NEVER should be (like shoulders). This whole food multivitamin is what we are taking because it is super bioavailable, not synthetic where the body doesn’t know what to do with it.)

Magnesium deficiency may be a common factor associated with insulin resistance. Symptoms of MS that are also symptoms of magnesium deficiency include muscle spasms, weakness, twitching, muscle atrophy, an inability to control the bladder, nystagmus (rapid eye movements), and hearing loss. 

A good list of early warning symptoms suggestive of magnesium insufficiency:

• Physical and mental fatigue, low energy

• Persistent under-eye twitch

• Tension in the upper back, shoulders and neck

• Headaches

• Premenstrual fluid retention and/or breast tenderness

• Weakness

• Confusion

• Nervousness

• Anxiousness

• Irritability

• Seizures (and tantrums)

• Poor digestion

• PMS and hormonal imbalances

• Inability to sleep

• Muscle tension, spasm and cramps

• Calcification of organs

• Weakening of the bones

• Abnormal heart rhythm

Severe magnesium deficiency can result in low levels of calcium in the blood (hypocalcemia) pushing it into the tissues. Magnesium deficiency is also associated with low levels of potassium in the blood (hypokalemia).

Magnesium levels drop at night, leading to poor REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycles and unrefreshed sleep. Headaches, blurred vision, mouth ulcers, and restless leg are also early signs of depletion.

(We use topical magnesium before bed and sleep is so enhanced when done regularly).

Signs of SEVERE magnesium deficiency include:

• Extreme thirst 

• Extreme hunger 

• Frequent urination 

• Sores or bruises that heal slowly

• Dry, itchy skin

• Unexplained weight loss

• Blurry vision that changes from day to day

• Unusual tiredness or drowsiness

• Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet

• Frequent or recurring skin, gum, bladder or vaginal yeast infections

But wait a minute, aren’t those the same symptoms for diabetes? Many people have diabetes for about 5 years before they show strong symptoms. By that time, some people already have eye, kidney, gum or nerve damage caused by the deteriorating condition of their cells due to insulin resistance and magnesium deficiency. Dump some mercury and arsenic (aluminum or barium) on the mixture of problems and pronto we have the disease condition we call diabetes.

Magnesium deficiency is a predictor of diabetes and heart disease both; diabetics both need more magnesium and lose more magnesium than most people. (source)

Remarkably, four weeks of magnesium supplementation (as outlined in ‘Transdermal Magnesium Therapy” below ) was also associated with a decrease in C-peptide levels. C-peptide levels are equal to the amount of insulin being produced in the body and is used to determine insulin production. In type 2 diabetes, insulin is produced in excessive amounts, but not used properly in the body due to insulin resistance, so the C-peptide levels run high. The decrease in C-peptide in type 2 diabetics is a positive signal that insulin resistance is decreasing and that the load on the pancreas is lessening. (source)

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that we will live healthier, happier and longer lives if we make sure we satisfy completely our body’s need for magnesium.

Oral & Intravenous Use

Magnesium is poorly absorbed orally, but this Magnesium glycinate is the BEST absorbed orally. As a heart nurse, I witnessed this in cardiac events like tachycardia, congestive heart failure, acute ischemic events, or in the acutely ill patient in the ICU. (source) By injecting magnesium we can guarantee 100% to bring the levels up, but by the third week, levels will usually have fallen again. Injections in a doctor’s office or clinic are just too painful to be considered for children and for long-term use in adults. They are also expensive.

If you want to use an oral magnesium, watch Dr. Berg’s 5 minute video for his recommendation!

Transdermal Magnesium Therapy

Transdermal application of magnesium is superior to oral supplements and is in reality the best practical way magnesium can be used as a medicine other than by direct injection. (source) It is inexpensive, safe, and a do-it-yourself at-home technique that can replace uncomfortable injections in anything other than emergency room situations. (source)

Here’s my post on Easy Homemade Magnesium Oil For Better Absorption & Sleep.

Dr. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D. a renowned neurosurgeon, has done 4 week long studies where individuals 1. sprayed a solution of magnesium chloride over their entire body once daily for a month and 2. did a 20-minute foot soak in magnesium chloride (1/2 cup in water) also once daily.

Typical results before and after 4 weeks of foot soaks/body spraying:

Reference range:   33.9 – 41.9 (mEq/l) mg
Before soaking/spraying:   31.4 (mEq/l) mg
After soaking/spraying:      41.2 (mEq/l) mg

Transdermal administration bypasses processing by the liver and the digestive tract, making the nutrient more bioavailable without the danger of over-doing it. The body self-regulates and absorbs only what it needs.

Dr. Sircus states: “This is not to say that magnesium oil cannot or should not be taken orally. Taking minerals in liquid form is the best solution for oral intake and the magnesium oil I recommend—Ancient Minerals—is the purest medicine from a buried sea. I always tell people to drink it as well as use it transdermally and to take it up to bowel tolerance level because this will clean out the intestines. Taking magnesium oil orally is the very best medical solution for constipation.

And many have found that they can get almost instant relief from the pains of arthritis by massaging a generous amount of magnesium into an area of discomfort or by taking a hot magnesium bath with sodium bicarbonate added.

The post If You’re Very Sick with No Explanation, Look Into Magnesium appeared first on Deep Roots at Home.

Dr. Adam Urato, with a specialty is Maternal & Fetal Medicine, is often featured in Boston Magazine and is a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for 10 years. He is gravely concerned by the lack of informed consent given to pregnant women concerning their medications. 

Namely, SSRI antidepressants, but also Zofran.

[Please know this is NOT a judgement of you if you or someone in your family is on one of the antidepressants or you are a pharmacist. It is also NOT a condemnation of all medicines, either, but rather it is a warning to stay aware of drug facts and dangerous side-effects].

“The main one I’m focusing on currently is the use of antidepressants during pregnancy, because we’re seeing so much of that in the general population, but in particular, in pregnancy.” Urato tells BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey on “Relatable.”

“I tell my patients that medications are chemicals. They’re not naturally occurring substances. They’re not like oranges growing on an orange tree. They’re synthesized in a chemical manufacturing facility,” he explains, noting that in any manufacturing plant, you’ll see workers wearing masks and goggles for a reason.

The 2 most important sections for moms to understand —especially before they consider pregnancy— are: 1. ‘Medication safety in pregnancy’ starting at 15:20 (including Zofran for nausea discussed at 17:58) and 2. ‘SSRI effects on fetal development’ starting at 34:45.

What About Zofran For Nausea?

“Virtually any medications that the mom takes are going to cross over from the mom into the baby.”

“A drug like Zofran, originally developed to combat nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, is also prescribed for nausea during pregnancy. It involves blocking serotonin receptors in the brain and gut. Yet, serotonin is a crucial cell-signaling molecule orchestrating much of fetal development.”

“So if you’ve got this delicate, intricate developing system, that relies on serotonin signalling and other neurotransmitters,” Dr. Urato continues, “and then you disrupt it with chemicals like Zofran or like the SSRI antidepressants, it’s going to have a negative impact.“

Even Worse For the SSRIs…

“There’s evidence, for example, that patients on SSRI antidepressants have increased rates of bleeding,” he states, explaining SSRIs have a huge impact on platelet function, and it can complicate bleeding during birth.

The drugs also have a great impact on bone strength, which leaves many SSRI patients with a higher rate of fractures in their bones and higher rates of osteoporosis.

But it gets worse.

“We’re seeing increased rates of miscarriage, so the woman loses her pregnancy.

We’re seeing increased rates of birth defects… things like heart defects,” Urato explains.

“We’re seeing increased rates in preterm birth… increased rates of low birth weight babies, small for size; they didn’t grow well likely because of the impact of the drugs on the placenta late in pregnancy.”

“We see an increase in pre-eclampsia, which causes high blood pressure in women, and proteinuria, protein in the urine,” he continues.

“We see higher rates of postpartum hemorrhage …one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality,” he adds.

Then there’s what happens to the babies.

SSRIs cross both the placental and blood-brain barriers, meaning that these elevated levels could impact a developing baby’s neurological growth. “Furthermore, the doses of these medications appear to be sufficient to have neurological effects on the developing fetus, since these babies show clear signs of anti-depressant withdrawal for up to a month after birth.” [1] [2]

Allie Beth asks, “Do SSRIs actually heal a chemical imbalance?”

A post shared by Allie Beth Stuckey (@alliebstuckey)

And we can’t skim over the other frightening side-effects that The Midwestern Doctor summarizes here:

• SSRI antidepressants are among the most harmful medications on the market, impacting society due to their widespread (and frequently unjustifiable) use.

• Common side-effects of SSRIs (and SNRIs) include sexual dysfunction (which is often permanent), emotional numbness, severe agitation, violent psychosis, cognitive decline, and birth defects.

• The most concerning SSRI side-effect is their tendency to cause grisly suicides and homicidal violence (which includes mass shootings).

• Psychiatry’s denial of SSRI-related issues often leads to misinterpretation of side-effects as a sign of pre-existing mental illness, resulting in more medication and potentially catastrophic consequences.

• SSRIs, like other stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine), are highly addictive so many SSRI enter severe withdrawals once they stop them. Unfortunately, few resources exist for these situations.

In 2004, the FDA first initiated a Black Box Warning on SSRIs — its strongest available measure short of withdrawing a drug from the market. The warning is still placed on package inserts for all antidepressants in common use. It mentions the above risks in children, teens and younger adults.

I detest writing a post like this without leaving possible alternatives.

Here’s Kristy’s original FB post.

I want to also bring awareness to homeopathy. [I personally often pair TRS with a specific indicated homeopathic or 2 as a support for those I care for]. Many around the world use homeopathy successfully, so we don’t need to jump on the SSRI bandwagon in the first place. In the case of anxiety, depression, etc. this is what is in the Narayani “Tension” remedy:

Dissolve 2-3 pellets of the remedy in the mouth. Tension can be taken 3 times a day for a long period of time. I know some who take it 6 times a day with the best effect. Take pellets (without handling – pop them from cap into mouth), half an hour away from food or drink. Give the remedy time to work. Once you see some results, you may be able to slowly decrease to twice a day. Homeopathics do not have side-effects and can be used in pregnancy. How is that possible? Because Homeopathy is based on Provings and the Homeopathic Law of Similars. This is an excellent alternative to those who can’t swallow large pills or have digestive problems. Homeopathic pellets dissolve in your mouth. Through the saliva, they instantly enter your system, bypassing the need for further digestion. Great for those with sensitive digestive systems. Our grandchildren love taking their occasional remedies, with no large capsules to swallow or bad tasting liquids. The taste is mild and sweet.
