One of the markers of the ill-effects of aging is an increase of whats called visceral fat. By FAR, visceral fat is THE MOST dangerous of all fatty build up in the body.
Doctors deem this so, as well, because normally they see it in Drunkards when their liver is collapsing due to alcohol abuse. However there are other causes too. Some of which are longterm corticosteroid usage other liver diseases & TB.

However another recent phenomena has arisen of late to help explain this further; Being Metabolic syndrome, Insulin resistance, OR Syndrome X. Indeed this new syndrome can help explain the onset of much of Diabetes Type II as well. So Insulin resistance, which in effect is a prediabetic state, can explain Fatty liver too.

More on fatty livers soon.

These days the stigma is not so great- Although for men it still carries much weight. Therefore they need much more encouragement, often from loved ones, to approach professional help OR for that matter, their spiritual help from clergy, etc.

Naturopathically, effective Natural weightloss must touch upon mental health issues to be fully effective for the longterm.
Whether the weight gain itself depresses one OR depression causes the weight gain is TOTALLY immaterial ALTHOUGH IF mental illness runs in the family of the weight afflicted person this issue must be VERY EFFECTIVELY treated(See our Jupiter-of-black-mustard-JOBM)along with a workable dietary & exercise plan. 
And so it is this genetic trait of Familial depression which becomes the REAL limiting factor AND ABSOLUTELY MUST BE EFFECTIVELY RELEASED AT THE CELL LEVEL for the cells to begin responding.
Physiologically we have found that the individual can exercise, they can diet, they can almost starve themselves AND nothing ‘weight-wise’ moves at all. This is where our JOBM works THE BEST.

We have found that the total hormonal system AND the metabolism becomes blocked, not able to respond APPROPRIATELY to normal weight loss stimuli.  

As our diagram above suggests in the upper RHS orange section, the head-mind (Cleared by our JOBM capsules) tends to want to dominate our physiolgy. Once it does this thru depression, etc then it robs the body of most of its resources almost acting like a ‘parasite’, robbing the body of vital energy or PRANA to do its normal housekeeping.

This 3 mind model we have developed suggests our the head-mind definitely wants to DOMINATE the physical cells thus burning-off energy vital for normal bodily function.

More soon.(We hope you enjoy our diagram above.. IT truly is a labor of love for us!)

Of course what we a describing is the Medical description thereof.

• In my 26 years of Natural medicine we would add the following to the description of depression. So if you have suffered any of the following then I would be offering you our Jupiter-of-Black-mustard capsules 
  • Stubborn obesity
  • Unexplained heavy weight gain
  • Unexplained or Chronic constipation
  • All ‘-aholics’ (includes:
    • Work-aholics
    • Alcoholics
    • Food-aholics
    • Worry-aholics
    • Sex-aholics
    • except Tobacco-aholics -Try our Saturn-of-Black mustard -Yes, Chronic tobacco addiction is a ‘genetic-trait; believe it or not.
  • Bullies (Yes, bullies are actually suffering low self-esteem and depression)
  • Habitual Comfort eaters
  • Bulimia’s
  • Anorexics
  • Game-aholics such as computer games, etc.

In my clinical All the above are forms of depression & do VERY well on the Jupiter herb above. Of course, if there are STRONG signs of depression STRONGLY represented in your family lines then try our Saturn herb above to clear it’s genetic expression.

In an allied study, Adult obesity is known to raise the risk of a number of health problems such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. For children, though, the most immediate consequences of obesity are often emotional and social, like not being accepted by their peers.
It’s not clear from this study why obese teenage girls had a higher risk of mental health problems later in life. 
But based on other research, social stigmatization and teasing may play a role in some cases.
It also makes sense that girls would be more vulnerable than boys. Girls and women face more social pressure to be thin, and at any weight, girls tend to have a poorer body image than their male counterparts do. Still, more research is needed to understand the reasons for the link between teen obesity and subsequent depression and anxiety in girls.

The findings are based on 776 boys and girls who were between the ages of 9 and
18 when they entered the study in 1983. Over the next 20 years, they were
assessed three times for major depression and anxiety. In general, the risk of
these disorders was higher among girls who were obese between the ages of 12
and 18, even when other factors, such as family income, parents’ education and
parents’ history of emotional problems, were taken into account. Teenagers who
are concerned about their weight, or about any depression or anxiety symptoms,
should talk to their parents or another trusted adult.

• In 2003, Am. Psychiatric assoc. Dr Paul Bradey found that 25% of those
  who were obese AND had depression, when treated with antidepressants
  lost 10% of their weight, whereas 51% of those researched lost 5% of
  their overall weight
• DEPRESSION IN OBESITY IMPROVES WITH WEIGHT LOSS 26 September 2003 listed in medical observer weekly.
  • Australian researchers have cast further doubts on the so-called ‘fat and jolly’ hypothesis, after finding that obesity is associated with depression, and this depression improves with weight loss.
    The Monash University researchers assessed 487 obese people who were admitted to a surgical weight-loss programme. More than half recorded moderate and major depressive symptoms before surgery.
    When symptoms were measured again after surgery, participants — particularly women and younger people — recorded significantly lower depression scores. This decrease was sustained over the 4 year follow-up period.
    One in 5 patients were taking antidepressant medications preoperatively. This figure dropped to one in 9 in the year after surgery (Archives of Internal Medicine 2003; 163: 2058-65).
    ‘The significant and sustained fall in mean [depression] scores with weight loss supports the hypothesis that severe obesity and/or associated conditions cause or aggravate depression,’ the researchers said.
    Younger people and obese females were more likely to have higher levels of depression, but there was no association between depression scores and measures of weight distribution, fasting insulin level, insulin resistance, or diseases associated with metabolic syndrome such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.

Yes some studies have shown mild links here but have been unsure as to whether the depression is the CAUSE of the obesity OR the result of obesity.
So cause & effect being unclear, at best, then seems to have confounded researchers & therefore clouded reasonable attacks on this connection & therefore treatments.

It is our contention that the role of depression can severely limit one’s battle with the bulge IF it is not dealt with effectively.

Indeed we would suggest that upto 51% of the obese ARE obese BECAUSE they’re depressed!

More very very soon

Indeed one could also argue about the issues of Addiction, Depresssion & Obesity connections as well.

So, if we’re going to argue about these ideas we should first come up with basic definitions so we know what we’re all agruing/discussing in the first place.

So here goes:

Major depressive disorder or simply ‘Depression’, is a mental disorder characterized by a pervasive low mood, loss of interest in one’s usual activities and diminished ability to experience pleasure. When severe, thoughts of suicide are not uncommon often bourne out of an ability for one to consider that they ‘are-stiuck’ in the now AND cannot even distantly consider ‘a-tomorrow’ at all.

Diagnosis is made if a person has suffered one or more major depressive events. The onset is usually in early- to mid-adulthood & diagnosis is based on the patient’s self-reported experiences and observed behavior.
There is no laboratory test for major depression, although Doctors often test for physical conditions, such as hormonal or Thyroid disorders, infections (such as HIV or Spyhilis) or even Epilepsy patterns are tested for that may cause similar symptoms before arriving at a diagnosis.

The course of illness often varies widely in that it can be a once-in-a-lifetime event or have multiple recurrences. Further, it can appear either gradually or suddenly; and can either last for a few months or be a life-long disorder.

Some therapists do their own ‘dowsing’ to help concerned customers.  However, most are simply oblivious to these ‘unseen’ influences.

IF YOU have any concerns regading these issues then consult a qualified Feng shui practitioner(They understand Earth energies very well) OR simply ask at your local ‘health-food’ shop for contacts to these or other ‘well-known’ local folk who a ‘known’ for their expertise in these areas of understanding.

A closing remark regading all this Prana blocking ‘field-stuff’.
After 26 years of Hands-on Practical Naturopathy observation AND experience have taught us much as to underlying patterns & traits which underlie symptoms.
My research would powerfully suggest that almost ALL folk who suffer from radiation-based issues are ADD.
Why? Because all ADD folk are VERY heightened to radiation sensitivities… From Solar/Lunar and-the-like, to Nuclear AND yes even Geopathic radiation sensitives.

Where sleep is disturbed from this influence alone, we get issues of waking up feeling drained, lethargic & poor energy all day. Sleep does NOT refresh for these folk. 

However it is possible for very dangerous places to be sleeping in. They are where two water veins intersect, or/and where water intersects with the Curry grid OR indeed with the Curry line on top of the Hartmann, and the water veins as well, as overlays.

I once had a ‘death-defying’ health disturbance by sleeping over this sort of combination energy for 2 weeks about 6 years ago.
I just could NOT get comfortable. For 5 days I tossed & turned constantly. Then on the 6th night I got a MASSIVE DOSE or Diarhea WITH Pain, Bloating, AND shakes & Shivers…. Literally ‘I-thought-I-was-going-to DIE’!!!
I later learned that the man who once lived there, AND slept in the same location, DIED OF AGGRESSIVE PROSTATE CANCER!!

Hmmm, makes-you-think.

After 2 days AND nights of feeling ‘near-death’ IT FINALLY ‘dawned upon me’… Shift your Bed, Glen!!! A shift of only about 1.4 metres SAVED-MY-LIFE.(I* jest* not*) 
So, in part, I now can countenance the absolute-terror of what it must be like for those poor souls who die of diseases such as Cholera & the like…. Horrible.
