[Guest guest]

gets low ( hypoclycimia)and that is when I go into mania..My holistic

doc thinks I may not even be bipolar..I also have heard yeast can act

like bipolar...Any thoughts?

There is a trigger involved. It can be either mental, physical, or

emotional.

 

Triggers are often rooted in belief systems. External actions that go

against the core belief will trigger a physical response. These core

beliefs start in childhood. Awareness will help you determine whether

there is a pattern.

 

While some doctors believe that genetics plays a significant role in

our physical, mental, and emotional health, these constraints can be

changed. The mind which controls every aspect of our being can be

reprogramed to accomidate beliefs that are more condusive to wholeness

or vibrant health.

Hi JoAnne,

 

Modern psychiatric ilnesses were " invented " so that Big Pharma could

sell more remedies. Psychiatry is the favorite child of Big Pharma.

 

If I were you I'd stick to what you Holistic practicioner says.

There is is probably a physical cause to your maladies.

 

Good luck.

Sorry but I have to disagree with some of this. I think a number of physical

maladies have

been exaggerated to sell drugs, but anyone who's ever been through depression or

a

bipolar-like phase knows that it hasn't been " invented. " I have suffered from

depression

and/or mild bipolar disease for 10 years. I am seeing a therapist and *I* made

the decision

to take some medication. The therapy in combination with the medication is

working and I

took my very first vacation at 100% in August. The therapist (a doctor of

psychology who

is well certified) did not push me toward meds. He was quite happy to see how

things

went without. In the case of depression, the medicines that are available have

been a

godsend to people like me. I do not take any of the new, expensive drugs. In

fact I am

taking a generic that I get at a very good price. And yes, I tried the herbal

remedies a few

years ago. For whatever reason they did not work for me.

 

Please listen to a therapist and see another one if you don't trust the one you

have. Your

life could be at stake. I was never that bad, but it's not uncommon . . . . .

Lori, I agree with you in this instance.  It's good you took older drugs, cause

I belive they are safer.  I always go for a natural remedy first, but if you

tried that, and it failed, you did the right thing. It is also very positive

your doc didnt push you towards medicine.  While I believe natural treatments

should be tried at first, then there is no choice but medicine.  Best wishes.

I am in total consonance what Maria said. It is a global business issue where

holistic approach is discouraged and make the mankind afflicting from malady in

various form without any respite.

My personal take on psychiatric conditions is that they are real but

much overdiagnosed, and there is too much ideology either way.

ADD is the area I am familiar with, but the same principle applies.

 

The thing is: bipolar people often have problems with blood sugar

management, AND blood sugar problems can mimic bipolar. ADD ditto.

 

The common sense approach would be to take measures to balance blood

sugar first.

 

In SOME cases, that will take care of the problem. If still bi-polar,

you might want to look into medications, but at least you are now

more settled and you might need a lesser amount.

 

In other words, try the natural way first but don't rule out more

allopathic medicine if the natural stuff isn't enough.

 

Life is short, nobody gets out alive, and we all just have to make it

through the day as best we can. Try to think and/and instead of

either/or.

I am new, but I wanted to add to this convo

 

I am bipolar 1 with psychosis, and allergic to every med for this out

there. I have lately also delevoped symptoms of fibromyalgia so now

there is this theory that I never had (and I tend to agree) bipolar,

and that I have a genetic issue with my thyroid causing both problems.

I have had my thyroid tested, but I have also been told that thyroid

issues dont always show up on a blood test right away, you continually

need to be retested. I am off all meds now and take a b complex st

johns wort, and valarian root. plus a multi vitamin so far I am

feeling almost normal for once.

I like your combination of B-Complex; Valerain; St. John's Wort; and

Multivitamin; I would add Schifff vitamin C with rose hips or similar;
