Alternatives
Just a few choices to maintain a healthy better way. Yes, ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR DOCTORS ADVICE!!!!!!
Stuff like Ibuprofen, Tylenol just to name two pain medications. When, was the last time you checked about side effects about the medications you take.
I suffer just to name a few things, depression, anxiety, panic attacks severe back pain. For years, I have been on these prescribed drugs. My gosh imagine the panic attack I suffered when I learned the medication I was taking for depression, could cause suicidal tendencies. I wanted to commit sucide, all I needed was a pill to nudge me over the cliff.
Thanks to WA, I started building my site around alternatives to these nasty drugs. I have gone the herbal, natural way. For back pain I started Inversion Therapy and Yoga along with meditation. No I can not afford one of those Inversion tables, or chiropractic services.
For years, I have used the band aid solution. This is just a method of covering up what is really wrong. Maintaining a proper diet, exercise and nutrition, perhaps a multi vitamin are the keys to recovery. Sunshine and sleep are so vital. Please do not dismiss the basics of living a better healthy life.
NO, I am not finished with you yet.
WA sent me back centuries and caused me to take a look at what was done by people like Socrates.
In 400 BC, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, hoists up a patient on a ladder with a series of ropes and pulleys to harness the force gravity in an effort to stretch his patients and relieve their ailments. Today this is called, "Inversion Therapy".
Just recently; February 2015,
Scientists and researchers at the University of California San Diego proved that type 2 diabetes is caused by inflammation: they discovered that an inflammatory molecule called LTB4 causes insulin resistance. Andwhat does insulin resistance lead to? high blood sugar and diabetes.
This is the reason why treating your blood sugar with drugs and injecting insulin to combat insulin sensitivity will never heal your diabetes; because you aren’t treating the root cause of diabetes, just the symptoms of it.
If we treat the symptoms of a condition, rather than the causes of the condition, we can be stuck treating them forever.
Sorry, did not mean to get carried away. Covering my butt here: PLEASE ALWAYS CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR
I wish you all a long healthy and prosperous life. The best of success to here at WA.

Good you covered your butt, because consulting a professional healthcare professional is important to determine the cause - you can't cure any sickness not knowing the cause. Bipolar is a serious mental disorder, a person's life is interrupted along with family.
That is so true. We need to monitor our own health first. If we want to live a long and happy life, we'd best pay attention to what we put in our bodies. I am so much more aware of that at my age, because now it is very important that I do it all right. I'd give myself a B-.
Hi Fran, thank you for taking the time to read my post and comment on it. Much appreciated. Lets work that B- all the way up to an A+

Great article. I learned a few things that apply to me. Thank you for your time and effort in sharing
This is really helpful info Michael!
I suffer from severe chronic pain, anxiety and depression, among other things (LOL) and would love to decrease the amount of prescription medications I take.
This looks like a great way to start experimenting.
Thanks!

Hi Kyle Ann, In my heart and through personal experience. The medications I was prescribed, when I look back now I wonder what kind of a conspiracy is there to keep people dependent on these medications and what kind of kick backs do Doctors get back from the pharmaceutical companies to experiment on their patience. Please don't get me wrong I am not trying to be disrespectful of Doctors, but.... I rather listen to my pharmacist. If you get the chance and are interested in exploring the many alternatives, well this may go all wrong for me with WA. I would be disappointing please do your own research and if you need more information it is on my site. No I am not into the sales yet. I know I can't list my site here, but you are welcome to PM me. I wish you well and I thank you very much for reading my post and commenting.

You make great points, I have to say consult your doc but also try your spritual leaders, parents, grandparents, and always talk about these symptoms with someone trustworthy. You can always ask a nurse, we care. Socrates was very interesting to read about. His influence in Lyceum to open education and hiking with a traveling lecture is incredible. Treating is a lot like marketing in that you look for what works and repeat. You do not want to invest into fruitless efforts because when you fail it is more pain. That we learn from but maybe avoidable with research and going for the methods with an educated guess. This is a great brainstorm blog. I hope your back feels better. Also consider the response to constant pain and distress, the adrenal glands secrete powerful steroids which can lead to insulin resistance over time. It is important to address.
Thank you & kind regards,
Nurse Becca
Hi Nurse Becca, you really are a super fantastic person. Nurses are the best. Wish I could find a bumper sticker. Nurse Becca I have been hospitalized several times, my love for nurses comes from there. Thank you for your comments,
