I'm struggling with severe depression, and I don't know what to do.
The problem right now is, as I suspect I have an estrogen dominance problem, I'm trying out calcium-d-glucarate, I know it's nothing that's been recomended here, but I wanted to try it. And yes, it's effective! I'm less swollen and I'm peeing more, my feeling is it's good for my body. But here's the thing, I'm getting even more depressed and it feels like I'm going crazy.
This is confusing. I've been thinking that it's really like RP says, estrogen has brain-stimulating properties, and also mao-i activity, and if I stick with this as a withdrawal, things will normalize.... I'm taking cynoplus (been for a while), I'm trying to get as much protein as possible, eggs, milk/cheese and gelatin mostly, so I'm trying to help my body to produce more progesterone.
Maybe this is also a question of where the estrogen is, loaded in tissue, but low in blood (maybe my situation), and that the situation should be the opposite....
Anyways, I don't know if I'm doing the right thing here. I try to drink coffe with sugar, and I'm feeling better doing that, though not enough, + the confused feeling of where this is taking me.
Any thoughts?
And here's the article where Peat mentions the connection between inflammation and beta glucuronidase activity, and how estrogens that are supposed to be excreted recirculate instead.

If my post is confusing, please excuse, I feel like crap right now!

There are two kinds of enzyme that produce estrogen. Aromatase converts male hormones into estrogen. Beta-glucuronidase converts the inactive estrogen-glucuronides into active estrogen. The healthy liver inactivates practically all the estrogen that reaches it, mostly by combining it with the “sugar acid,” glucuronic acid. This makes the estrogen water soluble, and it is quickly eliminated in the urine. But when it passes through inflamed tissue, these tissues contain large amounts of beta-glucuronidase, which will remove the glucuronic acid, leaving the pure estrogen to accumulate in the tissue.
