BI POLAR Natural Aids

 

QUESTION
We have a friend recently diagnosed with Bi-Polar and he wants
to heal it the natural way… I am researching it for him as I’d like
to see him go that way instead of with what the doctor wants him to take.
Any info you could share would be most appreciated, thank you! DL

 

ANSWER
Many respected medical doctors have used proper nutrition to treat emotional and psychological conditions, as well as physical. From Dr. Linus Pauling, nobel prize winner, to Dr. Abram Hoffer (co-authors of the extensive book OrthoMolecular Medicine) are just two of many. OrthoMolecular Medicine  means using vitamins and minerals in therapeutic dosages. Dr. Abram Hoffer was medical advisor of a Mental Institution in Saskatchewan and had far better results treating schizophrenic patients with nutrition than drugs. He also had promising results with cancer patients using a nutritional protocol. Besides being an acclaimed author and running a busy medical, practice Dr. Hoffer lectured internationally for many years, to Medical practitioners and students, so it is surprising to hear some doctors say, “ nutrition is not proven or researched”.

 

Researchers do not definitively understand some conditions, such as Bipolar. Theories range considerably, with no proven hypotheses. A shortage of lithium in the brain is one, just as a shortage of serotonin has been hypothesized to cause depression. More recent research throws considerable doubt on both of these theories.  A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry  from U. Michigan, 2000, reports “in those with bipolar disorder, two major areas of the brain contain 30 percent more cells that send signals to other brain cells.” This report theorizes that “the extra signal-sending cells may lead to a kind of over-stimulation, which makes sense considering the symptoms of bipolar disorder”. Researchers are quite certain that the neurotransmitter system is at least part of the cause of bipolar disorder, but further research is still needed to define its exact role.

 

Most scientists concur that  psychological disorders are usually caused by multiple interacting  factors,  including biological, (heredity or genetic tendency) and psychological.  One of the best researched current explanations is  the “Diathesis-Stress Model.” The word diathesis means, in simplified terms, a bodily condition that make a person more than usually susceptible to certain diseases. Thus the Diathesis-Stress Model says that “each person inherits certain physical predispositions that leave him or her vulnerable to problems that may or may not appear, depending on what kinds of situations that person confronts” (Bernstein et al., 2000). Durand and Barlow define this model as a “hypothesis that both an inherited tendency and specific stressful conditions are required to produce a disorder” (2000).
A manic or depressive incidence is usually triggered by a stressful life event or issues in the person’s environment. This may include the loss of something or someone, a loved one, job, home; to any change such as the birth of a child, a new job or home, a move, or threatening life situations. Remember that what is a physical, mental, emotional or spiritual stressor to one person may not be to another.  Once the disorder is triggered and progresses, “it seems to develop a life of its own. Once the cycle begins, a psychological or pathophysiological process takes over and ensures that the disorder will continue” (Durand & Barlow, 2000).

We know that stress can be approached naturally via the Four Pillars of Health as described in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program. To briefly outline,  the four pillars are listed below, with some specifics relating to BiPolar:
  • DIET: superior nutrition through improved diet, much like that recommended in the book. A diet that is beneficial for treatment and prevention of cancer is the same diet that helps improve everyone’s overall health.
  • EMOTIONAL HEALTH: especially stress reduction techniques, including meditation, yoga, relaxation, energy clearing,  counselling
  • EXERCISE:  to stimulate our “feel good” neurotransmitters, chemicals and hormones
  • HERBS and SUPPLEMENTS: some that we have had positive experience with for bipolar are:

 

Daily Maintenance suggestions:
Stress Pak – includes B vitamins, relaxing nervine herbs, or Stress Formula
Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic – to help regulate Chi or energy flow, plus providing trace mineral nutrition
Super Omega 3‘s to support the nervous system – at

 

In times of Manic or Depressive phases, add:
STR-C – (STRess Chinese)  a Chinese constitutional formula that calms an agitated mind – this one specifically to help calm a manic phase
AD-C – (AntiDepressant Chinese) A Chinese constitutional formula that clears stagnant Chi to help relieve depression

 

Therapeutic essential oils of  Ylang ylang, Rose Geranium, and Lemon have also been used as an effective aids.

 

As people with this condition can be helped with natural supplementation,  this is preferable to drug treatment, as all drugs have toxic side effects.  Besides the drug negative effects, many do not address the underlying causes, exacerbate the condition and may cause complications due to their addictive nature. In a crisis, if drugs are required, work at bringing the body back into balance for long term health.

Brain Health, Stress and Overload

Information Fatigue Syndrome, is a new ‘Syndrome’ which many people are experiencing. Some symptoms include increased anxiety, sleeplessness, less leisure time and less enjoyment when we do take leisure due to multi-tasking, and our brain always working.

The CEO of Google says, “Every 2 days we are creating as much information as we did from dawn of civilization to 2003“. This from TV, email, You Tube, texting, Facebook, radio …. think about that – it’s an amazing fact!

It is just one of the challenges putting us into information overload stress and in my practice, we are experiencing and seeing more of it with clients. However, according to Dr. Amen, expert on brain plasticity, we can be proactive to keep our brains healthy into old age, as research shows brains CAN increase their function at any age or stage of this game of life.

To help keep the brain healthy we can nourish our brain, body, spirit and soul. Some tips to do this are detailed in the 4 Pillars of Health section included in my book, The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer. The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally.

To nourish our brain and our body we need phyto-nutrients available in fruits and vegetables.  Let these guys dance around in your life!

Herbs are nutritionally dense powerhouses to add nutrition to your life. Supplemetns that are specific for the brain are Gingko Biloba, Gotu Kola and Omega 3.

Gingko Biloba  is nick-named the tree of long life and longevity. It feeds the brain and enhances memory. We use the slow release Gingko that is standardized and potent.

The second outstanding brain herb is Gota Kola, which is traditionally used to sharpen thinking, rejuvenate the brain, enhance memory, and overcome fatigue.

Super Omega 3 provides EPA and DHA support better brain development, higher IQ, greater alertness and calmness of mind.

Stress reduction is critical as part of our 4 Pillars. What helps you relax, so you CAN shut off your brain? How about a nice bath with NSP Concentrate and Lavender oil? The NSP concentrate helps emulsify the Essential Oils, gives some luxuriant bubbles, and leaves you and the bathtub squeaky clean. It’s biodegradable, so is clean for the environment, sewage or septic.

Avoid Multi Tasking

Multitasking, so often considered a mark of mastery in the modern age, isn’t quite what we think it is.

“Multitasking,” as it’s used in common parlance, is somewhat of a misnomer: rather than performing multiple tasks simultaneously, the brain actually switches rapidly between tasks. And task-switching is an expensive habit that gobbles up extra processing power, rendering any attempt to “multitask” less efficient than simply concentrating on one task at a time.

A 2009 study from Stanford discovered that frequent multitasking hurts cognitive performance. People labeled as “heavy media multitaskers”—those who consumed several forms of media at once, like texting while listening to music—were worse at attention tests. They also floundered on challenging working memory tests and scored lower on a task-switching assessment. The researchers postulated that frequent exposure to irrelevant stimuli made these “heavy” users less adept at filtering interference .

Stress Facts – did you know?

There’s no denying that we live in a stressful world. From daily time pressures, to the stress of a toxic environment, it can sometimes seem like we’re swimming in a pool of stress and gasping for air. Along with the more obvious stressors, emotional stress — stress from the stories of our lives — often goes unnoticed, and can sit at the root of many health issues.

The sad truth is that stress is probably the most significant contributor to disease — and it is the most difficult to treat. The World Health Organization estimates that by the year 2020, psychological and stress-related disorders will be the second leading cause of disabilities in the world. It’s fascinating to me that something which can be perceived in our minds can have that kind of effect on our physiology. But if we look at the science, it makes perfect sense. Stress — real or perceived, acute or chronic — affects your health. It changes hormonal pathways and the way neurotransmitters relay information. If these disruptions remain ongoing, there are serious implications for your body. The good news is, it’s never too late to do something about stress.

Please join us to learn some stress reduction techniques that can help you manage stress physically, emotionally and mentally. Learn how to support you body and mind nutritionally.

Video Picks of the Month – sorry it was too hard to choose one…..

1) A family’s bold battle to get medical authorities to use high does Vit. C to save their husband/father:

18 minutes from the Morgan Spurlock – director of “Super Size Me”. It is a little slow, but emphasizes all that we believe in about eating.  If you don’t have time to watch it; here is a point form summary:

Father did an 8 week detox diet of only natural, unprocessed food – went through         drug withdrawal symptoms, feels great now!

He researched why more people did not eat better: found out that Food processors       pay to have “Heart Smart” labels put on their food – nothing to do with health!

Medical system is paid to keep us sick and taking medications

Even eating raw some of the time is helpful

Eat the best that you can afford

Success Stories

 

An 84 year old woman from Colorado has been battling leukemia with repeated chemotherapy since 2002. She received chemo for all but 2 years. The cancer shifted from Non Hodgkin to Mantle Cell, a more serious form, in March, 2010. After finishing more chemotherapy Mar- June, she was exhausted and was given a negative prognosis. She started on the Paw Paw program in July and CT scan in October showed complete remission! Within days of starting the Paw Paw, her energy levels increased dramatically!

 

Business

We are always looking for more people to train as herbal specialists. There is a great need for those who wish to earn and learn, while helping others.

Spiritual and Emotional

Whenever you feel stress speeding up your life,

  • take just 10 seconds to breathe in the light and love that surrounds us in this universe
  • breathe out what is no longer serving you.
  • give thanks to three things you treasure in your life at this moment.

 

Political Scene

Health Canada continues to ignore the public’s desire for safe supplementation. Parsley is being questioned in capsule form! Vitamin D3 is being limited to 1000 IU, even though there is daily research showing we should be taking upwards to 10,000 in cloudy winter climates! Bill C36 is still looming. Contact your MP to see how they are voting for this bill! Not much better in the States, or in Europe……

But at least we have Silver Guard back (used to be called Silver Shield). Do not be fooled by the ‘mouthwash’ label. It is the same incredible product!

I intend to always have a few large bottles in stock as our best family defence against all bacteria, viruses, fungus and molds!

 

 

Raising Healthy Children

 

Nature’s Sunshine has introduced a dynamic line of new children’s supplements – the Sunshine Heroes. State of the art science and nutritional has gone into making these one of the best available for your children. The line includes:

  • Multiple vitamins and minerals, containing a whole food blend of fruit and vegetable powders in a soft chewable.  (I must admit, I am using these as a sweet treat for myself – delicious!)
  • Whole Foods Papayazyme to help children break down all 3 food groups. This helps make up for enzyme loss in cooked foods.
  • Probiotic Power to maintain healthy colonic flora, which  improves immune response

 

NSP’s Liquid Herbs are especially suitable for children’s health: the liquids are quick and easy to assimilate:

Ultimate Echinacea, AL-J liquid for allergies and respiratory, Lobelia for coughs, asthma, teething, Catnip & Fennel for fever, HRP-C for flu,  CBG for ear infections, are just some of them.

Our blog offers ongoing health tips. Many articles have been added since the last newsletter:

Soy Controversy

Hear about Your Ear: Infections and Tinnitus

Paw Paw Program for renegade cell growth and more

Marie’s Cancer Success – YES finally got this on the blog! Thanks Marie!

www.naturalpathremedies.com – click on Blog on the left hand side. For those that may not know this about some blogs; to read the entire article, you may need to click on the title of the article. Guess we are supposed to be mind-readers, as well as techno-gurus?

I have recently re-listened to the “8 Causes of Disease” CD by Dr. Gordon Pedersen. It is an excellent run down of how we can prevent the top 4 North American killers: cardiovascular, cancer, stroke and diabetes, by what and how we choose to eat, exercise, sleep, drink, think and Yes folks – all scientific studies show that the average person needs supplementation to not be deficient and to add healthy, quality years to our lives.

If anyone would like to purchase this CD for $5, please call our office.

In summary, Dr. Pedersen offers proof that shows we need a wide range of vitamins, minerals, omega fatty acids, and anti-oxidants on a daily basis. After listening to his tape, you will understand why the Super Trio daily nutrition pack is so popular! Contact our office for a write-up on this convenient affordable way to add life to your life.

VIP – Update and Educate: For any current Nature’s Sunshine Product members, there are always great specials, course announcements, etc. on the Update and Educate, available via email or fax to anyone as a VIP (free) – call or email the office to get registered.  And if you are not a member, and want to purchase professional quality products, to your home, at discount prices – call or email the office to get your personalized health program started now! Membership is free in most countries with a small order.

Spring is a good time to think about cleansing – have you done your Tiao He liver cleanse or Para Pak parasite/candida cleanse yet this year? Cleansing your body is at least important as changing the oil in your car regularly.

Remember what you eat, what you digest and assimilate, minus what you output equals what you are! Something like Einstein’s formula e=mc 2; only this is:

eat + digest + assimilate – bowel movements = health

Maybe a few more things involved like liver, kidneys, lymph….but the basics ARE NB.

After being in this field 30 years, I would still have to say that the majority of health challenges start in the digestive and intestinal system. Enzymes and probiotics are essential keys to health. Contact us if you would like more specifics about what type of enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics are best for you. We work several types because every person is different, with varying needs.

Many of our classes and conference calls are also good ways to learn more about your health……so let’s find out more about what’s upcoming…..

Political Scene

I get hundreds of emails monthly about political issues and generally try to avoid them in my newsletters. I am breaking the rules now, as presently there are 3 issues which greatly impact Canadian’s health. I have spent hours speaking to people, reading to clarify, and getting contacts to simplify, so that you can, and hopefully will take action. Please do.

Issue #1     Natural Health regulations:

Lots of emails and yet very little in the media about the status of natural health supplements. Canadians and Americans seem perilously close to losing choice in their health, yet again. Believe me I have been hearing this for well over 25 years, but it seems this time the government is really being pressured by big pharma. We need to act NOW to let your government rep know we want them to listen. Massive letter and fax campaigns have worked before – they count on voters for their job.

Contact our office for a summary of issues and sample newsletters.

Issue #2   Labelling for GMO products:

Canada and US are again behind our European counterparts. We need to ensure we have GMO foods labelled. European countries will not even allow GMO products in their countries; Monsanto is attempting to shove them down our throats without us even knowing about it!

This 10 minute video gives you enough info to know that you need to care: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ5OxdIq5DY&fmt=18

Watching the video, ONE THING becomes certain:
The genetically engineered crops that we will ALL begin consuming shortly are ALL ABOUT MONSANTO and not at all about human and animal nutrition and health or the environment.

Due to public apathy and disinterest, the USDA just granted Monsanto an application to market GMO alfalfa  (a primary feed crop).  By 2011, with the addition of sugar cane, wheat and barley, North America’s food supply will be totally dominated and controlled by Monsanto.

Issue #3  Last, but not least, the proposed HST:

Polls show that 80% of Canadians are opposed. ALL health products will automatically increase by 7%, in those provinces that do have PST on herbs and supplements. This is a category with proven cost saving benefits to our public health care system. At the very LEAST, health supplements, gym fees, health treatments, should be both GST AND PST exempt, and certainly not have HST. Again, we have a letter available by emailing us: takethenaturalpath@gmail.com

Spiritual and Emotional Tips

4 Steps to RECEIVE What You Ask

1- FUNDAMENTALS! Make it a “fundamental” practice to manage your fear thoughts at the beginning and ending of each day. You create your day, so at the beginning of every day write your intentions, wants, needs and desires for that day. “Normalize”  fear  with deliberate statements of intention and if needed, pick up the phone or fire off a call to a like-minded partner. You’ve read that “people without vision perish.” Create your vision of the future you intend to create, you simply can not achieve it! It’s mathematics. Do it, practice it, receive it!

2 – BE WORTHY. You are as worthy as you decide you are! The fundamentals you practice will advance your sense of self and worthiness. Worthiness is something that you can decide to feel and acquire from practicing the fundamentals. The other side of worthy is making certain your actions and behaviour match what you say you want. This is how you feel worthy. Practice holding firm on your vision and focus upon inspired actions that are congruent with what you are intending.

3 – GO FORWARD. You are not stuck! You stop only if you decide to stop. Replace saying  “I’m stuck” with, “I am receiving inspiration which is enjoyable and prospers me greatly.” That’s all. Deluding yourself into believing you are “stuck” only happens when you don’t keep your spiritual muscles taunt by flexing them with daily fundamentals: Statements of intention; Visualizing with feeling; Focusing upon what you prefer; and managing your thoughts to include what you intend and prefer above all else.

4 – MEET or SPEAK  regularly with other like-minded people to help you get your heart desires heard and believed, when you can’t quite believe it and feel it for yourself. Receiving feedback and reinforcement  from a  positive partner, you can rest, content. Spirit is doing the work.

It is our hope you are applying some of these principles to 2010. If you have not yet, guess what ? You can start now!

Thanks to Mary Robinson for sharing some basics of these ideas.

Thanks to those who have read to the end. Man or woman, you deserve a big hug!

Yours in health,

Benoit & Associates Health Education
