How interesting! Do you know if there are allergies in the Woods line? Usually allergies are often an unknown source of depression, and few folks know that the 'workability' of anti-depressants is probably only their anti-histaminic effect, nothing more. I know this from personal experience with the stuff and finally finding out I was atopic (meaning, genetically the immune system is programmed wrong and the body reacts with the heavy artillary of the immune system -- Immunoglobulin E and attendant cytokines -- in order to 'fight off' anything perceived as foreign, and it perceives EVERYTHING as foreign to it, even foods!) I found that if I took benedryl (diephenhydramine, like what's in Excedrin PM) that the depression quickly lifts. Just thought I would pass this along if it is of interest to anyone. I also have the vision thing you refer to. I'm very interested in medicine, genetics, immunity and exactly how our body works at a cellular and subcellular level. Fas! cinating stuff, and this particularly interesting because I was adopted out of the Woods family and had no knowledge of any of this stuff.

One or two blonds (they are good friends with their hair stylist lol) In our family line we have many that are suffering from many forms of depression. And some of us are having a very bad time with our eyes the older we get the blinder we seem to get also. We all have had our vises but NEVER let grandfather Woods know..he would turn over in his grave if he knew what some of his grandkids did...He would not ever watch a cigerette ad on TV he was so against it, you can only guess at what he was like on the more personal type of ads that came on LOL..
