In reply to PFEIFFER INSTITUTE FOR CORRECTING DEPRESSION, posted by angel1 on December 1, 2001, at 5:31:29
I don't think it's quackery but it's not necessarily the answer for everyone. I checked out the site & read over a number of the different pages they have. Probably a lot of people could benefit by improving their nutrition.
I know caring about a good diet & healthy foods is often the last thing on a depressed person's mind. Either we don't feel like eating at all, or overeat & all the wrong foods. If we don't have the proper building blocks we need in our foods, we can't very well make the hormones & neurotransmitters we need to.
They don't say that a person wouldn't need medication anymore so that's a good sign. They say they're willing to work in conjunction with a doctor balancing medications & nutritional supplements.
