RE new member Poneyboy Suzanne

[Guest guest]

Where do I send him my snail mail addy so I can get the tape? as

far as the last three meds, I really don't know about coming off of

them. u would not believe what I have come off of.I realize that the

natural way is 100% better but my life without meds is totally bad.

I cannot fuction without them. the altace is for my kidneys. I know

there are some herbs to help them and I will start on them within

the next few weeks. but the altace keeps my BP down low enough to

keep the pressure off my kidneys. Most of the people with this

illness go on the renial failure since I have gone to a more natural

diet my kidney fuction has improved a lot, however not the doctors

but it is my own fear of a transplant that keeps me on it. The

thought of having to go through that scares me to death. as far as

the rest go I have check into a natural approch to replace them and

there was a study done by a natural group in cunjuction with the psy

field on fish oil and the first thing they brought out was there is

no 100% replacement for meds with bipolar. now I don't know if this

is true I may be wrong and if I am please set me stright. I have

checked into some natural approches for bipolar treatment and the

cost is far to high for me. I mean real high close to $200 a month.

and we just can't afford that right now. I would very much like to

get off the last two meds if I ever can. but the thought scares me

also. I was in very bad shape before I have come a long way. and it

has just started to get better for me. I am not preaching the use of

meds I do not like them. but in what I have learned so far fish oil

is the best thing to treat bipolar and it is not 100%. stable. I

looked into another thing called truehope and it was just way out

there in price and they told me I could not take my other herbs and

I would have to cut my vit C I take 8,000 a day and they wanted me

to drop to about 1,000 and I did not like that. they wanted to

control everything I took and ate and drank, they wanted to call me

once a week to check up on me and make sure I was following the

plan. I thought it was more control of my life that I was willing to

give up. Maybe with futher learning and research I will learn how to

control my bipolar naturally but for now I must take things one step

at a time. I have come a long way in the last year as far as

changing my life style and I want to press on. but right now I'm

more concerned with my diet and improving my health in the area of

what I can do to add to my intake to make my life better, and also

take away (like the pop) but lets talk about the meds last. lets

center on the other things first. right now I need them in my life

untill I can make the GIANT step to leave them behind. after all I

have been on them for the last 11 years, and I use them as a crutch.

remember I was on 12 and I was a mess. I will take ur advice and cut

out the pop, I know I need to. Have u ever heard of Hensens natural

pop? what do u think of it? Well I know I have said a lot so I will

continue to apply everything I learn to improve and change right now

and deal with the meds later, when I get braver.

Poneyboy,

You need to get Doc's tape - it's free for the asking - give him

your mailing address.. once you get it and listen to it.. you will

want to give him a call - first call/consultation is free.. (and

well worth it).. his number is in the files too.
