Medical Intuition- Tune in to Your Body and Improve Your Health: Book Excerpt
"The Body Knows" - ask a medical intuitive:

Dear Caroline,
I am 46 years old, have 2 terrific children, a great husband and I live in a beautiful home. It doesn’t matter if it is a sunny day or if everything looks perfect on the outside, the wretched feeling of depression will over take me without notice and I am powerless to stop it. I have had counseling, tried various medications with some degree of success but I wondered what your intuitive “hit” on my condition might be.
Sandra H. Lenox Massachusetts
Dear Sandra,
Depression can come out of the blue and overtake the least suspecting at any time. Post partum depression, clinical depression or just feeling blue for seemingly no reason is very real and should be treated as such. In my own life, as a young woman I experienced depression from time to time. There seemed to be no explanation for my condition – there out of the blue, the black hand of depression would swoop down and engulf me. It turned out that I was highly sensitive to mold (which can trigger both anxiety and depression) and was dealing with a systemic yeast condition. When I was desensitized to mold and treated for yeast I never experienced depression again until I turned 60 years of age – good reason to feel depressed!
At that time, as a vibrant 60 year old, I was engaged to be married to a wonderful man, we had just moved into a beautiful home and my business was thriving. I should have been very happy but I wasn’t.
On a hunch, I went to my doctor and had my hormones tested. Sure enough my estrogen levels were non-existent and my testosterone and progesterone levels were low. Bio-identical hormone balancing immediately pulled me out of my depressed state and now two years later I have never looked back.
In your case, I am tipped off by the location in which you live. Massachusetts is a moldy state. If you home is surrounded by trees or is moldy or damp, your condition could be exacerbated by environmental molds. An environmental medical doctor can help here. Another place to look is lack of light or Seasonal Affected Disorder which can play a big role in your energy or optimism level.
The fact that you have had 2 children could be an indicator as well. Why not get your hormone levels tested either by blood or saliva? Your progesterone could be low. In fact there is evidence to show that post partum depression can be a symptom of low progesterone. Following the birth of a baby, a woman’s progesterone levels plummet. They are very high during pregnancy which is why women feel calm, happy, optimistic and even euphoric – they radiate. Possibly you could be dealing with the aftermath of post-partum depression that may not have been correctly diagnosed at the time. Take a look at the hormone equation.
Next let’s take a look at the food piece. Did you know that if you consume a diet high in sugar, starch and caffeine, or other stimulants, you could be contributing to your depressed mental state? You could have “sugar blues” due to fluctuating blood sugar levels and over stimulated adrenals.
In my own work I see thousands of people each year who are on anti-depressants and at the same time are consuming gallons of coffee, sugary desserts and junk food. It astounds me that these individuals are trying to balance delicate brain chemistry with medication while skewing it by their own hand with powerful stimulants.
Last year I attended the 35th Annual Conference on Orthomolecular Medicine. Orthomolecular Medicine as conceptualized by Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling aims to restore the optimum environment of the body by correcting imbalances or deficiencies based on individual biochemistry using substances that are natural to the body such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and essential fatty acids.
During that conference I was fascinated by the stories of people who had recovered from depression, bi-polar disease and schizophrenia by utilizing an orthomolecular approach. The famed Dr. Abram Hoffer was in attendance. His 50 year history as a psychiatrist using this approach was credited with many successes including actress Margot Kidder who no longer suffers from bi-polar disease. Check out www.orthomed.org for more information.
After you have investigated hormone balancing, a change in diet and instituted a yeast eradication program and your condition still persists, of course seek medical help.
There are so many miraculous, life-saving medications available. No one needs to suffer.
Now let’s take a look at the higher or deeper reasons for depression. Depression is the lack of expression. What is it that you wish to express in your life? Go within and take a course in meditation or visualization. Connect with the wisdom within to guide your life forward. Many years ago taking such a course totally changed the direction of my life and gave me a whole new career that not only fulfills me but gives me so many reasons for getting up in the morning and greeting each day with excitement and optimism.
Depression, in my opinion is multi-faceted but it is not insurmountable.
