ENERGY!

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine asked for some advice on energy boosting/combatting

fatigue (See below). I liked my response so much, I thought I'd share

it. Comments/additions? . . .

 

No problem. There's an inexpensive, readily available Chinese herb

called Dong Quai that's very good for a good night's sleep, especially

when you're overtired, etc. Wake up with your head nice and clear and

your body nice and light. So, for STARTERS, take 2-3 caps of that within

an hour of bedtime. (P.S. It doesn't PUT you to sleep, it relaxes,

clears your head. Also good during the day for a headache or a hangover.

Also very good for female problems -- I haven't had any since I started

taking it myself. [Also, since I broke up with my last girlfriend.])

 

For a " pick-me-up " , take ginkgo (biloba), again inexpensive and readily

available. Nice, non-jittery, mental energizer. Very smooth, no crash.

1-2 caps or tabs, preferably on an empty stomach.

 

Those two things should make a big difference. ALSO, get yourself a good

multivitamin to take with every meal. THAT should help, too.

 

Keep me apprised.

 

Love,

P.S. Green tea is a nice bracing beverage. It's my " morning coffee " . And

real good for you, too.

 

P.P.S. Ginseng is a good thing, too, and puts some power in your pants

BTW. Also, goji berries make a nice snack or part of breakfast. (They

and some almonds ARE my breakfast usually.) Spirulina, chlorella, wheat

grass, all good too.

ALl right dude, working until midnight.  I see some excitement that

night, say, a bad automobile accident.  I lie awake until ~3:00 a.m. &

need to be at work 6 hours later.  So I wake up at 08:15 a.m., get

ready, go to morning job.  Do this 1-2 mornings per week (crazy

back-to-back schedule early in the week).  Can you recommend a good

natural " pep " ?  I'd LOVE to try something that would give me a little

step back in my groove.

 

Love,

Inexpensive meds that my insurance doesn't cover, a-la. . .I can't

remember the name of the meds.  It's made for shift workers, to give

them a little pep.

Hey Robert,

 

If I get an e-mail from a Canadian Pharmacy & order through them, is it

illegal?  Any ideas?
