Praise for the
book
Rebuild from
Depression
"Rebuild
from Depression is going to
be a very important book. Its dissection of the role of diet and
nutrition is well-researched and an eye-opener. Medical science is
beginning to greater value the study of diet and particularly the
role of nutrients in maintaining that delicate bodily balance
called health.
It may be that increases in depression can be tied to our
deteriorating eating habits in which manufactured food is
progressively displacing grown food. The medical community is
trying to correct the ravages of diabetes, high blood pressure, and
obesity and yet these diseases may represent the end-result of
dietary manipulation by industry. We need to address the cause of
these diseases: the food we are consuming is
nutrient-shallow. Rebuild from Depression
helps us do
just that. Dr. Amanda Rose needs to be heard by the medical
professionals as well as laymen."

"In the arena of depression where the push is one pill fits all, it
is refreshing to look at the holistic reality that depression has
many stems and many causes. Depression really requires us to view
this issue systemically, with care and honor for the client. Amanda
Rose, in her fine book, reminds us of that need in an open,
realistic discussion. I highly recommend this book for
practitioners and their clients."

"Rebuild
from Depression by Amanda G.
Rose, Ph.D., is full of useful information for women, especially
mothers and the people who support them. The author examines the
ways in which the nutritional demands of pregnancy and the recovery
period following childbirth can trigger postpartum depression, and
often contribute to a lifelong depression. She presents a
nutritional approach to providing protection against postpartum
depression, and ideas for overcoming depression in women. As a
doula, I'm looking forward to recommending this book to my
clients."

"In my work
at the Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Oakland I have dealt
with grief every day and with its cousin, depression. We all need
survival tools to help us get through tough times. Rose's
book Rebuild
from Depression gives us
depression-fighting tools to last a
lifetime."

Testimonials
"Two years
ago this week I was detained by the state of California and sent to
a mental hospital for a 72 hour evaluation after a visit to the ER.
I had not slept and barely eaten in 7 days. I was sure that God was
going to take me home and that I would die in the institution. My
baby was 9 weeks old. I turned a major corner about 3 weeks ago
after about 6 intense weeks of nutritional supplements, amino
acids, and traditional foods. I am convinced that rebuilding
through nutrition will cure me.
I am a skeptic about 'cures' in general. When Amanda used to tell
me about depression and nutrition, I just did not get it. I thought
that I inherited mental illness from my father's side and there was
nothing I could do besides accept it and take medications. Then one
day, by the grace of God, a light bulb went on and it all made
sense. I am on the path to wellness now, as I call it. Knowing also
that Amanda is well and she had mental illness in her family made
me rethink my whole paradigm about mental illness.
My B-6 and zinc levels are already increasing after 2.5 months. I
had severe anemia and someone who I had not seen in a few months
looked at me and said 'You have color in your face, my dear!'
It is never too late for you to get well and influence the
generations to come."

"How
enlightening! Dr. Rose's personal story is inspiring, and her
advice for how I can take action in my own struggle with vitamin
deficiencies is empowering. I highly recommend her book for all
women whether they are simply hoping to be mothers in the future or
are struggling to regain their mental and physical health from past
pregnancies."

"Amanda
Rose, Ph.D., has packed an amazing amount of useable information
into this must-read book. It not only addresses why people can
suffer from depression, but also how one can fix it. Thanks to
Amanda, I have learned to love liver."

"Wow! I've
ignored all responsibilities in my life (other than my daughter and
the dog) over the last five days because I've spent every spare
minute my daughter was asleep reading Rebuild from
Depression. From my
own similar journey, I do believe that God wants us to be healthy
and to thrive on the foods He gave us instead of trying to improve
on what He has made perfectly. This book will lead people to this
truth and in the right direction."

"Amanda's
book, Rebuild
from Depression, and her
story, have inspired me to find a nutritional solution to my
depression. I have used homeopathy and nutritional supplements
instead of the antidepressants that I was on previously. Her
well-researched, informative book, along with her story, can help
someone who is looking for the root cause of her depression. Her
troubleshooting lists really help one to know where to begin to
seek help for nutritional support. And her recipes are great,
too!"
