Polishing the Sun

How to find FREEDOM from depression. Recover ENERGY,

Sound SLEEP, PURPOSE, PRODUCTIVITY & FUN

If you need to end the suffering of lack of sleep, gloomy mood, total lack of energy and little sense of purpose, then coming upon this letter may be the most wonderful piece of luck you’ve had in quite a while.

You see there is a way out of the fog for most depression sufferers. The expense is negligible and either no prescription drugs are necessary at all, or the amount you need much less than might otherwise be the case. The way involves following my self-administered program. It comes with the same privilege that my face-to-face clients get: a short free phone (or internet-telephony) consultation, 10 - 15 minutes or more as time allows. If you feel the need to book an office or telephony consultation you benefit from a “cut to the bone” fee.

My name is Dr. Victor Barnes PhD. In addition to being a psychotherapist and practitioner of holistic therapy I am an Australian, State registered (licensed) psychologist. I am bound to strictly ethical behaviour. I cannot lie either directly or indirectly i.e. by omission, or even by “gilding the lily” with exaggeration that could cause unrealistic expectations.

In taking this low-cost but powerful program you are not just getting a blue print for shaking off depression that has been written by a psychologist with many years of university and institutional training behind him, but also buying the right (if you make the purchase over the next month. Obviously a point will be reached where I will have to stop making this offer) to a free short phone/computer-telephony consultation with me – to make sure you are on the right track and don’t fall in a hole along the way. (Clients who live on the other side of the world from Australia are asked to send an email first so a mutually suitable time can be negotiated. We all have to work and sleep.) Note well: You will be dealing with me personally, not an employee, associate or franchised practitioner.

Are there any good reasons why you should listen to me? Consider the following:

  • My initial training and employment took place in 2 different psychiatric institutions. I have worked in psychiatry and intellectual disability. I am a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society, the Australian Association of Psychologists and I am registered as a psychologist in 3 States of Australia.

  • I have counselled literally thousands of Adelaide TAFE (adult vocational education) students with every kind of personal and psychological problem imaginable, and completed government-published research into their needs. I have studied most and taught many of the schools of psychotherapy dating from before the turn of the 20th Century to the ideas of today. My own approach is very eclectic and “holistic” as evidenced by my membership of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society and my DSc in Natural psychological medicine resulting from my time working in Sri Lanka. Further, I have spent a couple of decades in private practice.

  • I really know what you are going through! I know what depression feels like. I have been there myself and continue to be on guard. Lying awake from a fitful sleep, head like a can of worms, an overpowering sense of impending doom and hopelessness – then the sun coming up bringing a sense of relief and readiness to sleep, just as it’s time to drag oneself off to work. Well, I’m telling you – from personal experience, it can change. Life can seem worthwhile and inspiring; energy, drive and enthusiasm can return again. Remember when you were a kid? You’d wake up, maybe hearing the birds chirping loudly and scrabbling around in the roof guttering? And your first thoughts: Wow! A new day! More as yet unknown fun coming up! Get that "joi de vie” – joy of life, back again! The program I am inviting you to purchase is the same program I actually live by. I designed it for myself!

So what specifically is in this program for you? Why should you purchase it?

v It can help you feel better, be more productive and get more fun out of life. And the price a mere peppercorn.

v The program can result in you either not needing any medication at all or at least reducing the amount of medication you need. You are given guidance in when to see your doctors and what you need to tell them. Anything that reduces the amount of chemical help you need is a good thing!

v The program shows you how to gauge the extent of your depression with 3 different tests. They are quick and simple.

v You can actually contact me. If you are unsure of anything at all you can email me or even get me on the phone and I will talk to you at no cost for up to 15 minutes. Yes, I’m busy so you might have to trust me to call you back (at a reasonable hour for both of us), no matter where in the world you live. I use internet-telephony for long distance.

v It costs little and gets you a lot! You would have to plough through several expensive books to get the same information in this very concise, inexpensive manual – and none of them would give you free live access to one of the most experienced psychotherapists and psychologists in the land – if you make the purchase over the next month. This is a once off cost that delivers the goods and not just an excuse to backend sell you something else.

v It is all natural. The program depends on you working through some simple exercises, some of them “pen and paper” and changing some personal habits. It also has some nutritional aspects. These exercises are very simple but you actually have to take the time to focus and do them – not just think about them! Work your way methodically through the simple, easy process and reap the benefits.

v Are there any other costs? Yes! A kid’s exercise book with lots of pages could cost you from 60-Cents to a dollar, or you might get a really flash good-looking one at “CheapAsChips” or “Crazy Dave’s” (or similar cheapie stores) for under 5 dollars. Then there is the nutritional aspect which involves purchasing over-the-counter items from a pharmacy or health food store.

v The program puts you in control of your own therapy. And that feels good right away.

v Freedom always feels good – freedom from suffering the “weight” dragging you down, freedom from taking chemicals at all in many cases or so much of them in others.

What is actually in this self-treatment program?

From the start:
(Senior public servant with clinical depression – was on Workcover benefits)My wife won’t let me forget your words at the end of the first session (a reference to the recovery of his sense of humour. She says she’s now got her husband back. Thanks to you and my doctor I’m now feeling very differently from when I first came to see you. I’m enjoying being back at work and have decided to delay retirement for another year, and I’m following my old interests as part of preparing for retirement. I must compliment you on the manual. I like the way you use language which is something that interests me and I’ve been making the kinds of lists you suggested, and working through them. Your help was very interesting and useful. Thankyou, you’ve been a good friend.
(Doctor seeking full specialist status as an anaesthetist but failing the viva exams in Sydney.) As you suggested I think my problem was that I had been more intimidated by all those bored looking senior consultants than I liked to admit. I didn’t sleep well the night before though. It was a gruelling day but now I am through at last. Thanks again for your help.
(Lady with permanent injury resulting from car accident)Thanks John [lawyer] for all you've done for me…and I’m now very glad you recommended I see Vic. As you know I felt a bit insulted by the idea at first. And I didn’t know what to make of him at first. But once I saw him in the witness box being cross examined I was really happy and understood what it was all about. I thanked him outside the court. Obviously the magistrate and even the other lawyer seemed to accept the report and what he said without too much argument…

*You will be guided through a self assessment taking 3 different approaches. This will give you a fair idea of how depressed you are, the kind of depression you have and the level of treatment you need. Self-assessment always has its potential problems but you will know intuitively if the test results coincide with how you feel. If there is any disparity, any confusion - just pick up the phone and call (08)8339 5465 9.00am-7.00pm Adelaide, Australia time and I'll help you clarify the issue. If you are not in South Australia, emailing clientquery@yahoo.com would be better but you are welcome to call. Remember - it is FREE, and if I can't take your call I will call you back anywhere in the world (internet telephony is wonderful!) or email you. Anyway, if you haven't already done it, why not take the Depression Self-Assessment free self assessment right now?

*You will be shown how to attack all the problems and chores big and tiny that you might presently be procrastinating over.

*You will guided through a very wide range of holistic interventions that will actually make a positve difference to you.

*If you suffer panic attacks you will be guided in how to deal with them and gradually cease suffering from them.

*You will be given some of the theory behind depression, and shown how your habitual thinking, your whole philosophy or way of looking at life and problems needs to be examined and corrected wherever possible.

*You will be engaged in a written voyage of self-discovery. You will chronicle success and lapses together with notes on how to perform better next time.

*And by the end of the program your sense of humour will be back in full force.

*By the end of the program you will be physically fitter than you are now, actually enjoying life and brimming with optimism.

So Purchase the program now - BEFORE YOU GIVE IN TO
PROCRASTINATION AND MISS THE BENEFITS - by clicking this button:
It is just US$19.00!

Oh, you are worried about whether or not the program will be worth the tiny cost? Well it sure beats the $120.00 it would cost you to sit in an office with me for each of the several hours you would need - AND BESIDES, I WILL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVEN'T GOT VALUE! No questions, no arguments. Surely, getting professional help with depression has to be worth at least a sum less than the price of 2 tickets to the movies with a paper-bucket of popcorn - regardless of what currency you convert to! Hmm, couldn't you just go out and buy a book at the store or pick one up at the library? Yes, but you'd have to wade through several to get all the techniques in this one little, token-cost, padding-free manual, and none of those books would hold you by the hand and give you access to their authors.

Best wishes,
Dr. Vic
