Hi,
Lately I have been thinking a lot about how depression can be tied to physical health. For me it seems that the day before I come down with a cold or flu I feel quite depressed and the depression eases when I begin to feel better. Kind of made me see a connection in both mind/body depression. (Isn't it interesting how Western medicine so often splits the two?) Have been looking at the selection of supplelents offered by New Chapter...

I have noticed there has been some good feedback on their St. John's Wort on this site (I am already taking Kira brand). But has anyone tried taking their mushroom compund supplements or any single mushroom supplements like maitake or reishi for overall health? :read:

I do know that hallucinogenic (psylocibin?) mushrooms are known to treat cluster headaches which are a specific kind of migraine, although they are illegal in the USA.
