Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Am looking at Vals recommendation to use this product. Have been dx bi-polar in past but now being treated PTSD (long sordid story) My anxiety level sky high. Any thoughts or suggestions??? Till I see doc, maybe I should stick with Ashwaganda and Holy Basil??? I won't go up any higher on klonopin and already dropped Zoloft and Buspar. Warnings Although Rhodiola has very few side effects, it is not recommended for people with bi-polar disorder or high anxiety levels. kc in AZ, who is apologizing in advance for so many questions.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I would stick wiht Ashwaganda for now and Holy Basil if it is agreeing wiht oyu. Once you get some THYROID in you your Bipolar will improve. I am convinced it is mainly caused by lwo thyroid. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 VAL, THANK YOU... I do great on the Holy Basil. Am also doing Accupuncture and she put me on an adrenal homeopathic. I'm betting I never had bi-polar and it's been PTSD and stressed adrenals the whole time. I use a green drink with lots of kelp, spirulina and such already for a couple years. I sure hope you know how much we appreciate you... kc in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yes, and Dr. Arem devotes a lot of his book to bipolar and related mood disorders that he corrects with thyroid hormone, primarily T4 plus T3 or T3 alone. He gives a really good in-depth explanation in his book on this subject. Anyone who's bipolar and wants to learn more should get his book " The Thyroid Solution " Re: Rhodiola Questions I would stick wiht Ashwaganda for now and Holy Basil if it is agreeing wiht oyu. Once you get some THYROID in you your Bipolar will improve. I am convinced it is mainly caused by lwo thyroid. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have an excellent book that was recommended by Hall Cutler written by some of the top orthomolecular psychiatrists in the country called " Natural Healing for Schizophrenia and other related Mental Disorders " . This book is so informative it's one of the best books I own. It is a wealth of information about the physical/biochemical causes of schizophrenia and what to do about it. A lot of Dr. Carl Pfeiffer's work is covered and a HUGE relationship between thyroid and schizophrenia plus many more causes. This book gets to the roots and causes of the problem and fixes them hormonally and nutritionally, never mind giving people neuroleptic drugs that cause a chemical lobotomy.
