A SHORT HISTORY OF MEDICINE:
"Doctor, I have an ear ache."
2000 B.C. - "Here, eat this root."
1000 B.C. - "That root is heathen, say this prayer."
1850 A.D. - "That prayer is superstition, drink this potion."
1940 A.D. - "That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill."
1985 A.D. - "That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic."
2000 A.D. - "That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root!"
Try these for depression:
Cloves~ added to tea, can boost spirits and liven gloomy moods.
St. John's Wort~ has been proven to effectively liven spirits. Take in capsule form, as it has a nasty flavor and odor.
Optimism and humor are the grease and glue of life. Without both of them we would never have survived our captivity.
