Today, I have something exciting to share with you.
A new line of research we have happened upon. One that could, in my
opinion, lead to a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH in the fight against anxiety and
depression. A new way of looking at these two conditions that could turn out
to be one of the most exciting discoveries in decades. No exaggeration.
It’s this:
Over the last six months, I have now interviewed almost 60 world-leading
experts on anxiety and depression, and more than 210 scientists whose work
is focused on other conditions. One of the most exciting things that I am
starting to piece together from all this:
There is a growing plethora of research that points toward a linkage
between our diet, the health of our microbiomes (i.e. the bacteria that
live in our gut), and our propensity to anxiety and depression.
A lot of psychologists already know this in their gut, if you’ll excuse the pun.
Jordan Peterson, for example, famously said that many of the young men
who come to him for help with anxiety — he is a practicing psychologist,
remember — turned their lives around by making a small handful of
fundamental changes to their diet. Could this be the reason why?
If this link between diet, microbiome, and anxiety and depression is proven
and better understood, it could be a game-changer. It could open the door to
an entire new universe of more effective treatments for these conditions.
The fight against anxiety and depression — and all the misery it creates in
our families and communities, while politicians stand around with their hands
in their pockets and insult us with platitudes and empty promises.
This new line of research is our most promising battleground.
Right now, there is a goldmine of research. But it’s all fragmented. Spread
around dozens of different medical journals, and carried out by scientists who
live on opposite sides of the world or, for various reasons to do with the
politics of academia, are not able to collaborate with each other.
We urgently need to hire our own researcher.
Someone who can dive into all these journals, pull the research and the data
together, and make sense of it in a way that only a trained scientist can.
I’ve done the math.
It’s going to cost $5,000 to hire one full-time researcher (or two part-time
researchers) for two months. Which should be enough to get started.
Can you help?
A gift of $100, $50, even as little as $20 can make a difference. If everyone
who reads this email — if every person who said they wanted to join the fight
against anxiety and depression — donated just $50, we’d pull this off.
This is a special fundraising campaign.
NONE of the money you donate will be used for administration, fundraising,
or other overheads. Every dime will go to hiring that researcher, to pulling
together this new knowledge and making it a part of the CODEX.
As a donor, you will obviously get a lifetime license to CODEX.
So, you or a loved one will directly benefit from this work.
Lots of folks say they want to see more support, more resources for folks who
suffer from anxiety and depression. However, when push comes to shove,
most are not willing to put their money where their mouth is.
If you want to be a part of the fight, this is your moment.
We can do this! We can get our own full-time researcher working on this, and
finally bring this exciting research together. We can make a difference.
