Natural Sleep Support

Is it just me? psychatic doctors and mental health facities going to far?

I was anxeous and could not sleep,lots of stressors. The next thing I know they say I have Bi-polar, I didnot know what it was so I took the meds prescribed. 3 months later I had my first panic attack,I have battled it 13 years. Not to mention the rude behavior of doctors. who do not want to hear a word I say. Enough already me and my support group have all agreed I was better of before all this medication.the manner in which I was treated nothing I say is valid, having to take a family member to ensure I am not treated as though I have no say in my own heath care,being labeled CRAZY ect. I feel better already. But also have natural treatment to fall back on!

I’m so sorry you were diagnosed with that condition. You were probably just anxious and they over diagnosed you. Myself, I do not thin bi-polar people are crazy. A lot of people label them that way, but they aren’t. Bi-Polar simply means you go to extremes in you mood swings. Unlucky for you, they diagnosed it 13 years ago, and also weren’t fully aware of the diagnoses then. Just like everything else, it takes time to learn the different behaviors of a person. I am glad you found something to fall back on. I do believe you can go back to your physician and tell them that you weren’t diagnosed correctly and they should fix that. If they aren’t listening to you, maybe you should consider switching doctors or hiring a lawyer. If you have been taking the wrong meds, there is definetly something that should be done about it. As for people who are labeling you, ignore them. Here is a good example:
When I was in high school, people used to say that my best friend and I were lesbians. Not that there is anything wrong with that community of people, but neither I nor she was. Instead of denying it, we started to walk each other to class and hold hands, carrying each other’s books. We didn’t really care what people thought. What mattered is we knew better. Anyway, I hope this brings some help and comfort hun. Good Luck!

Anxiety & Sleep Support – are you a Waking Sleep Maniac, or a Twister or Turner?

Are you a waking sleep maniac, or a twister or turner? Do you just wait to fall asleep-just lying there? Hoping if you just close your eyes deep sleep will come! Are you jumping around in bed, can’t quite get comfortable, or the mind is racing, thinking about everything you did that day, and projects that are still waiting.You may want to pop that Gaba Calm by Source Naturals. It tastes pretty yummy too, comes in peppermint or orange lozenges, it will just disappear right into your bloodstream after a while.

Gaba, an amino acid that blocks the excitement nerve transmitters. Do you wake up after 3 or 4 hours of sleep and are starving? This is called Nocturnal hypoglycemia. So how about a walk to the fridge for some of that Protien Shake by Jarrow Formulas. What happened? It seems your blood sugar just went down the tube. Have you tried all those pharmaceuticals that only work for a short period of time, or don’t work at all, causing drowsiness, and perhaps dizziness for the next day. Nutrasleep by Source Naturals has not only the GABA amino but herbs that are relaxing and calming such as Passion Flower, Scullcap & Valerian.

Anxiety and tension are some of the reasons we have such a hard time falling and staying asleep. Certain types of food and drink, could keep us awake, such as caffeine, which could act as a stimulant. Deficiencies of Calcium & Magnesium also could enter the picture. Almost half of the population in the US has trouble sleeping, mainly because of our stressed out lifestyle, and Europe is fast catching up. And what about all of you sufferers with body aches and pains, or ones that are already in the midst of some kind of degenerative disease and are tossing and turning, because it hurts and no amount of warm milk helps. Natural Calm by Peter Gillhams (Regular or Lemon Raspberry powder) that one mixes up helps with the pain of emotional stress and anxiety. It is full of Magnesium, which according to The American Heart Journal, is the Natures calcium channel blocker. All my clients love this one.

There is also a famous B-Vitamin known as Inositol. True, it comes in your B Complex, however not enough of it in a multi. Individually, Inositol is known for helping anxiety and panic issues. Now Foods has this in powder or caps, You can throw that into your Protein or Calm Drinkfor a little extra help.

And about Traveling in Hotels with strange beds, and having a big meeting in the morning and becoming a nervous anxious wreck, especially if you can’t remember what your speech is or too nervous to think, let alone sleep. There is a Travel Pack from A to B Calm in packets you can take with you, so you won’t miss anything and are bright and breezy in the morning. Now, for that Restless Leg Syndrome. Potassium & Magnesium, which can be taken during the day as well, if necessary and especially at night help. Work with your body on this one to see how much you need, Now Foods has it with both of those minerals in the Aspertate form, which is so easily assimilated, not aspertame which is lethal long term. There’s quite a difference there. On that subject, avoid all your soft drinks have that ingredient aspertame which causes an electrolyte imbalance and takes all the minerals out of us, No wonder our nerves are on the edge.

Wishing all of you a Good-Nights Sleep with Less Anxiety and Calmer Nerves,
