Herbal Remedies - new to the group and a question

[Guest guest]

Welcome Cathy...

We've had discussion some time back on this... in the message archives... However,

tell us more about yourself... How is your diet? what do you eat/drink etc... the more we know the better we can help you.

Welcome Cathy. Yes there is alternatives. Look through the files and send

Doc Ian an e-mail requesting his tape. Then you get a free consult call with

him. Grief is a natural, if painful, process we all must go through in life.

Dangerous chemicals like Lithium are not the answer. Meditation, talking

with friends, good nutrition, etc. are some of the things that will help you

through this rough time. Keep asking questions, the answers are here.

First I want to thank everyone that has replied.I

really appreciate it.My 'diet' oddly enough seems to

be working at least as far as cholesterol and blood

sugar are concerned.Both are excellent as is my blood

pressure.Im not a vegetarian and i do eat sweets off

and on.I need to a lose a few pounds but my doctor has

pronounced me in excellent health.. well physical

health anyway.I dont drink alcohol or smoke or take

any other drugs with the exception of the lithium.And

i drink a lot of tea at least a quart or more a

day[unsweetened].This may sound weird but i honestly

think thats why my blood tests were so good.4 years

ago everything was elevated not greatly but still

higher than normal.Now all is good! And the only

difference is i stopped drinking soda,milk,and mass

quanities of coffee.Thats all i can think of.Thank you

all so much for your help and concern. ..cathy
