There are several things wrong with this. Firstly, your personal experience is not evidence. For all you know you were experiencing the placebo effect. Secondly, participating in a colon cleanse in no way qualifies you to speak out on psychiatric issues. Thirdly, saying a colon cleanse helped you feel better does not get you even close to proving that the root cause of depression is a poor diet.

I also link a number of medical doctors and specialist that said "your gut health does affect your overall sense of well being." Plus the science of how/why it affects you. If you want to appeal to authority, it's all there to find.
BTW, do you know what you body does to protect itself against highly acidic stomach acid?
You're backtracking now to "fresh food is good for you," which is not what you claimed at all. No one is denying that a good diet wouldn't be beneficial, but to say that proves that the root cause of depression is a poor diet is patently false.
Look, you can peddle your woo with your NDE's and your pseudo-scientific evidence, but when you start dispensing psychiatric advice, that's when you cross the line. You need to stop.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
