DEPRESSION
When depression is severe, it is often from a brain chemical abnormality. The problem first begins from the loss of positive signals from the brain. In addition, negative signals from the deep memory bank cloud over the positive feelings. A weak positive signal is easily drowned out by stronger negative signals. These are called distortion signals because they are distorting normal brain function and chemistry. The person will often feel fatigued and overwhelmed. Suppression of anger and passion will also lead to depression. Sometimes depression can be inherited. The speed of recovery depends on the severity and depth of the roots of depression. Psychotherapy is recommended in combination with homeopathic treatment. Serious depression should be treated with homeopathic and pharmaceutical medication in combination.

DIABETES
Adult onset diabetes is often linked to a deep lifelong feeling of a loss of sweetness in life. The person will often feel weary of life. This often occurs after experiences of betrayal. They are often nice people who tend to serve others at the sacrifice of themselves. Genetics plays a big role here as well. Homeopathy seems to slow and prevent the damage to the arteries and tissues, but the remedies often do not change sugar levels. However, they seem to prevent the build up of atherosclerosis, which is responsible for causing tissue damage in the eyes, kidneys, heart and extremities. Homeopathic remedies work well along with standard diabetic medication.

DIARRHEA
One of the best US studies proving the effectiveness of homeopathy was on the treatment of infant diarrhea. It was a double blind-placebo controlled study performed by Jennifer Jacobs, MD from Washington. She convincingly showed a statistically significant difference between days of duration of diarrhea of the placebo group and the group given a homeopathic medicine. The infants given the homeopathic medicine showed a significantly faster recovery.

Chronic or recurrent diarrhea is often caused by feelings of loss of control or weakness in regaining control over a situation. Strong or constant fear or worry can also be at the root of the problem. Often just waking in the morning or eating can over stimulate, causing a loose bowel movement. Acute viral infection that often causes diarrhea can be treated with an appropriate Acute homeopathic medicine. Bacterial or parasitic infections should be treated with an appropriate antibiotic prior to receiving homeopathic care to restore the colon to normal.

DISC DEGENERATION & HERNIATION
Lumbar, or lower back, disc degeneration is associated with weakness resulting from grief, loss, depression, or a feeling of helplessness and powerlessness. Cervical, or neck, disc degeneration results from long term withholding of anger or indignation. A disc herniation can occur when there has been long term weakness combined with a sudden increase in internalized anger. This causes inflammation and bulging of the disc material. One false move in the spine and the disc can fully herniate. A feeling of tight control can cause the discs to bulge from compression.
