Natural Cure for Depression Silenced?

Depression affects over 25 million Americans a year. But did you know
there is a highly effective natural treatment? Inositol – or Vitamin B8.
Inositol Deficiency Linked to Depression
A 1995 study found amazing results treating depression with inositol. As reported in the American Journal of Psychiatry (Vol. 152, No. 5) “the
overall improvement in scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
was significantly greater for inositol than for placebo at week 4. No
changes were noted in hematology or in kidney or liver
function… Inositol had a significant antidepressant effect in this
study.”

A 2001 study continued to find impressive results, and “continuing
reports of inositol’s efficacy in the treatment of depression, panic
disorders, and OCD should stimulate replication studies”. Yet conventional medicine (in all its wisdom) continues to treat depression with pharmaceutical medications, despite the findings of a 2010 study that “the
benefit of antidepressant medication compared with placebo may be
minimal or nonexistent in patients with mild or moderate symptoms”.

My guess is, even if you suffer from
depression, you haven’t heard about this study. And I’d even go further
to guess that most of you have never heard of inositol.
