Here are the various types of depression:

Manic or Bipolar depression – characterized by sudden and extreme changes in one’s mood wherein one minute he or she is in an elevated state of euphoria while the 

next minute (day or week) he or she is feeling to be in a personal hell.

Postpartum depression – characterized by a prolonged sadness and a feeling of emptiness by a new mother wherein physical stress during child birth, an uncertain sense of responsibility towards the new born baby can be just some of the possible factors why some new mother go through this.

Dysthimia – caused by a small in degree of depression, although it’s a lot less severe, but it still needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise it may become more serious.

Cyclothemia – caused by a slight Manic or Bipolar depression, the individual who suffer from this mental illness will often suffer from intense changes in one’s moods.

Unsuspected brain allergies are the cause of most mental disease or problems!

Dr Marshall Mandell in the early 80’s made this point very clear.He appeared on a Phil Donahue TV program with videos of persons with mental problems dramatically worsened by a drop or less of some allergen.  He was the first to name such as “brain allergies”.

In 1982, Dr Von Hilsheimer introduced the first End-Point-Titration allergy testing into Florida, and I worked with him at an allergy clinic in Orlando.  We amazed several MD allergists in that clinic with depression and many other cases being solved.

During that time, I studied allergy/sensitivity extensively.  I found a list of mental diseases caused by allergens that surprised me.My previous experience and learning in psychology had never prepared me for such.  I found the following in a “standard” text on allergies as “Mental Symptoms”.  It surprised me, and probably will you.

Schizophrenia, depression, hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD), Emotional instability or hypersensitivity, Insomnia, Chronic fatigue, crying jags, stuttering, excessive daydreaming, anxiety, panic attacks, withdrawn, listless, seizures, aggressive behavior, anger, irritability, silly, tense, restless, excited, agitated, behavior problems in children, difficulty concentrating, memory loss, poor comprehension, confusion, impaired attention, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behavior, feelings of unreality, disorientation, false beliefs or delusions, hallucinations, suicidal, feel like hurting self.

I was introduced to the latest EEG biofeedback therapy of raising the amplitude of the brain wave just above Alpha, in the range of 12-15 Hz while giving a 4 day orthomolecular seminar in Soviet Georgia in 2000.  (later named the SMR brain wave) In the discussion, I remembered that list of mental diseases caused by allergens.  I then proposed the following theory:  “Raising the SMR brain wave somehow changed the affect of allergens on the brain.  To date, no other theory fits the data.  

When I returned to the US, I started the first leasing of EEG BF equipment for home use.This did not endear me to the clinicians who were charging up to $250 per half hour for the service.  The actual operation is so simple that anyone with a high school education can easily learn how to do it, although the learned clinicians will (as usual) protest the necessity of a professional approach.(There is no record of harm being done to anyone, and no license is required to practice this therapy.)  

Dr Jiri Tyrl of the Czech Biofeedback Society listed papers in 2001 about EEG biofeedback that showed the following mental diseases as being either cured or greatly improved by this feedback:

Epilepsy; ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Academic-Cognitive Enhancement; Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, Sleep Disorders, Depression, Hemispheric Asymmetry, Anger, Addictive Disorders, Brain Injury, Stroke, Coma, Spasticity, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Autoimmune Dysfunctions, Headache and other Pain, Schizophrenia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, Parkinson’s Dystonia, Tourette’s Syndrome, Autism; Cognitive Decline with Aging, Asthma Hypertension Dissociative Disorders, Creativity, Optimal Functioning, Criminal Recidivism.

Compare the two lists, and the parallels are too much to be coincidental. It was obvious to me that allergens were causes of much more mental disease than had been suspected, and EEG biofeedback which raised this particular brain wave was solving these allergens.  (Both my wife and I have either “cured” or alleviated lifelong allergies.)

In 2004, one of those comic light bulbs went on above my head, and I realized that it should be possible to do the same thing – namely raise the SMR brain wave – by use of subliminal messaging.  

With a call for volunteers, I got over 20, who sent me weekly results via email for a month.  Most were various types of ADD/ADHD, with a few depressives and insomniacs mixed in.Both my allergen theory and my subliminal theory were shown to be correct by the results of every test to date.  

We have shown that this Neuroliminal Training is at least as effective as EEG Biofeedback (aka Neurofeedback) for ADD/ADHD, depression, insomnia, autism, and epilepsy in six tests with over 150 volunteers.

We found lots of evidence In all these tests that my theory of raising SMR solves allergies.Twin boys slept in the same room in one case.One boy was ADHD, and he was “cured” in 8 weeks. The other had ragweed hay fever, and that was cured in the same time.  Many more such testimonials shows clearly that NT does either cure or alleviate most allergies and.or food sensitivities,

We’re going even further with a current test that includes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, Depression of all types, etc.  This test will end in January 2009.

Manic Depression is another name for Bi-Polar. When an individuals mood swings are very irregular with sudden changes from good to bad this is commonly associated with being Bi-Polar. It is just another in the many forms of depression. Manic depression is not the same as just being sad or upset for over something in particular. Manic depression is more serious than that. Another stage of depression is the diagnosis for bi-polar disorder. Manic depression is diagnosed in millions of cases each year in America. In general 17 million people battle depression each year in America. The draw back is that only a third of the potentially affected will ever seek medical assistance or get some type of diagnosis. When the sufferer refuses aid, there can be no cure. A lot of people refuse to deal with any disease called a mental illness. The negative image of someone who is nuts is just too much for them. Brain diseases are generally quite complex. The stigma of a diagnosis is a hard pill to swallow. But having this disease isn’t a sign of personal weakness. It doesn’t mean you’re insane. You have a condition like any other medical condition. If it’s identified it can be cured. The causes of all forms of depression are still being examined in the medical profession. It has been shown that depression can be brought on by many possibilities. Doctors take into consideration many things such as biological factors, the environment, and DNA. A chemical imbalance in the brain helps cause it. Stress is another major factor in depression. Daily life brings stress, period. Work related issues or the dynamics of a dysfunctional family can create it. Depression knows no bounds. It can affect the rich and the poor. Race isn’t an issue. No color or nationality is free from this illness. There are similar symptoms no matter the type of depression. Dramatic shifts in personality and up and down mood swings are some. Insomnia is another symptom for depression. The feeling of helplessness, hopelessness and Desperation. When your ability to function properly at work and at play becomes ever apparent then the possibility of depression is real. There is hope for depression sufferers. Help is available. There are medicines both prescribed and natural that can offer a cure. Psychotherapy can also help. Support groups can also be helpful for those with manic depression. Look for assistance first.
