 I find it impossible to believe that during the long pre-history of mankind hunting practice included long walks across the open plains in full sun, when the best way to catch a fair sized animal would be to come out of your cave in the early evening and go hide close to a nearby waterhole, letting your prey come to you. I find it impossible to believe that during the long pre-history of mankind hunting practice included long walks across the open plains in full sun, when the best way to catch a fair sized animal would be to come out of your cave in the early evening and go hide close to a nearby waterhole, letting your prey come to you.

 +Discuss with your doctor your medical expectations, the possibility of additional disease arising, and the prophylactic properties of Olmesartan medoxomil demonstrated in various sections of the article [[home:protocol:olmesartan:|here]], supported by research [[home:food:aim_health:aging|here]].

 +It is quite clear from the experience of those reporting to the M. P. Study Site with multiple issues, that allowing immunity to lapse unnecessarily may prolong recovery or in some cases render it difficult or seemingly impossible.
 +
 +==== Immune suppression ====
 +
 +'vitamin' D is surprisingly immune suppressant.  It has been reported that a little more than 3 months after commencing Krill oil (or approximately 5000 IU of Vitamin D) to alleviate  the  symptoms  of  osteoarthritis  in his  knees, a sarcoidosis patient suffered an acute cardiac episode.

 +Laura Lachance, MD at the University of Toronto and Drew Ramsey, MD Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, NY.(({{pubmed>long:25958655}}))<blockquote>An approach to consider for patients with mental health symptoms is to offer counseling on lifestyle interventions, such as diet. Physicians often feel ill-equipped to discuss diet due to lack of training, limited time, and a poor reimbursement structure. Physician uncertainty is likely exacerbated by the wide variety of specific dietary recommendations and dietary “tribes” that exist in our society today. Over 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates said, “let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”2 The evidence base is increasing that we should re-examine his counsel, as the effect of good food has profound implications for brain health.</blockquote>
 +<blockquote>nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12, B9 (folate), and zinc, can cause symptoms of depression and dementia such as low mood, fatigue, cognitive decline, and irritability.</blockquote>
 +
 +Unless your doctor has real evidence such as genetic  testing, that your body needs extra (//for a very small number of people, that is true for B12//) then it is prudent to get __all__ your vitamin needs from healthy foods **only**. It has become clear in the last decade that pharmaceutical vitamins can do more harm than good, the long term harms being serious. 'vitamin D' is not a vitamin, of course (It is a set of metabolites with steroidal action). 
 +
 +==== Helpful hints ====
 +
 +Monitor highs, if you have them, and avoid shopping! Stay in touch with your feelings. If you feel depression coming on, a walk may send it away. If you dislike your doctor, seek a second opinion, but do not play games with your health, medication may be necessary and can take weeks or months to bring the brain into balance. 
 +
 +A non-judgemental friend or acquaintance can be a life saver. 
 +
 +==== Don't Panic ====
 +
 +For someone in panic, soothing herbal teas such as chamomile or peppermint are a good substitute for coffee, which can increase anxiety. Also too much coffee in a short period of time can mimic the sensation of a heart attack.
 +
 +[[home:food:chlorogenic_acid#coffee_and_tea|Coffee]] is also an immune modulator and is best avoided by those with immune issues.
