In Feb 2000, the FDA released a public health advisory warning that there was a risk of dangerous interactions between SJW and certain prescription medications. Bipolar meds included mainly the Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA’s) Tofranil, Asendin & Elavil and the anticonvulsant Tegretol. It is assumed that the similar TCA’s Vivactil and Palemor and the similar anticonvulsant Trileptal could also be in the risk group.

There are also reports that when SJW is combined with Serotonin Selective Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI’s) it can cause Serotonin Syndrome. Symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome symptoms can include dizziness, cognitive difficulty, faintness when standing or walking, unsteadiness when walking, muscle spasms and a racing heart beat. Do not combine SJW with any SSRI’s or

Dating Tip for Women: Don't Work Too Hard
Remember Jerry Hall, the model who married Mick Jagger? Jerry was famous for making this statement:"My mother said it was simple to keep a man. You must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a whore in the bedroom."I don't know about you, but if keeping a man meant all that work, I'd have stayed single.In addition to that pearl of wisdom, Ms. Hall offered this one: "Even if you have only two seconds, drop everything and give him (oral sex). That way he won't really want sex with anyone else."Poor Jerry. Too bad her mother didn't tell her that if a man tends to want sex with "anyone else," he's not great husband material.Sadly, despite all her hard work, Mick Jagger continued to have sex with other people and fathered a child with another model during his marriage to Hall. They are now divorced. So much for keeping a man!The point? No guy is worth running yourself ragged for. Instead of appreciating your efforts, he will likely take you for granted and come to resent you. Think about it: Do you fall for guys who are at your beck and call all the time? They're great for helping you move, but you probably wouldn't marry one.All right. Le

Bipolar Disorder is one of the most difficult to treat. Not only is it difficult to find the right medicine recipe for each person, patient compliance is a major obstacle. Some people suffer debilitating side effects or cannot tolerate the high dosages of some medications. Some start feeling better and make a conscious decision to stop taking their medications. Others simply don’t like taking medication at all. Some of these same people will turn to vitamins, health supplements and holistic answers instead. Herein lies the problem. It seems to me that the general population is much more willing to trust the claims on vitamins bottles and health supplements than that of prescription medications that are governed by the FDA. Who is it that regulates vitamins and health supplements– the “natural healing fairy?

Well, come to find out, many studies are being conducted on holistic approaches to bipolar treatment and they are being funded by organizations like The Stanley Organization, National Institute of Health and the National Institute of Mental Health. Some important organizations are taking notice that maybe there is something to this “natural” approach. Maybe there is and maybe there isn’t. I am convinced that doing everything possible to make this illness more bearable is worth a shot, but I’m not willing to give up my medication yet and neither are any of the organizations funding the studies.

Nothing that you read here is meant to replace any advice that you are given by a trained professional. The information is simply what I researched and the claims may or may not be accurate. Please do not try any holistic approach without consulting with your physician or psychiatrist first. Also, all of these approaches, by their own admission are to be used as an adjunct to psychiatric medications. In other words, they are meant to help reduce the dosage, not replace the medicine all together.

Most of these vitamins and minerals can be found in a good multivitamin. The ones that are separate supplements should be verified with your doctor before you go spend a lot of money on them. I didn’t even start taking my multivitamin without checking it out with my psychiatrist first – but then I’m a little anal when it comes to managing my bipolar and my money. I don’t know about your insurance but mine doesn’t cover vitamins.

ST JOHN’S WART

This is the supplement that we’ve all heard does wonders for depression. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but marketing and advertising people create all that hype. I know this, because I work in advertising. I found tons of information on St John’s Wart (SJW) and most of it echoed the same warnings, that bipolar patients should use extreme caution and consult their physicians before attempting to use it. I know I won’t be adding it to my recipe. The only time it seems to be recommended is for people with very mild depression who almost don’t need to take prescription medication and they still suggest checking with your doctor.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School believe that SJW could be a mania trigger for those who are bipolar but who haven’t experienced a manic episode yet. This is similar to what some antidepressants do to people with bipolar. It can also precipitate hypomanic states or rapid cycling. They mentioned that if you have bipolar you should use extreme caution and confer with your doctor before hand.

Affiliate Revenue - The Importance Of Diversification
A lot of things happen to businesses. Some go out of business because of some tragedies beyond their controls; others because of poor business practices. A lot of things can go wrong with a business and if it does, your affiliate revenue will suffer if you've put all your affiliate efforts in just one basket.No matter how great a product is, it will surely have, at least, a distant rival. This rival might not be able to compete on quality but it might be able to compete on price, ease of use, customer support and so on.It is to your advantage if you have more than one recommendation for any type of product or service. It makes your work slightly harder since I recommend you experience the product or service first hand before recommending it. That is the only way you can tell which is the best, the second and the least.Now when you recommend just one product, it becomes more difficult not to make it a sales pitch. If you talk about a type of product that provides a solution to a certain problem and then give your readers a few options, it is easier to do an editorial review.Furthermore, it strengthens your preferred product when you say something like "...of these three, I find ... to be the best

Tenant Screening – Could A Murder Have Been Prevented
Tenant screening may well be much more important than having a watertight property rental agreement in place.At the beginning of November a South African landlord killed his two tenants and then turned the gun on himself. The man and woman owed him three months' rent, which apparently put the landlord in serious financial difficulties.Laws which have been designed to protect tenants from unscrupulous slumlords, are now being exploited by tenants who are in default. If a landlord wishes to evict a tenant who is in breach of a lease agreement, the proper legal procedures have to be followed. This can become a lengthy process with some tenants knowing exactly how to abuse the system.Maybe the law has become too one-sided in protecting the renter's rights. A landlord therefore must rely on tenant screening as a very important tool to prevent getting into a conflict situation.Landlords can do effective tenant screening if they follow a few simple guidelines. From the application form and telephone or personal interview a lot of information about a prospective tenant can be gathered. All this information must be verified and not accepted at face value and most importantly, the landlord sh

On-Line Dating - Part 1- Who Else Wants A Dream Lover?
This very up to date way of meeting with people with interesting descriptions and requests addresses a challenge that has become more life changing in recent years. Previous focus may have been on a full-time job, a set of established and times based tasks and maybe the long term decline and eventual completion of a permanent relationship.Suddenly a familiar and comfortable routine although at times challenging and draining is changed and life becomes a whole new set of questions, puzzles and possibilities.This can be a terrifying time and initial response may not always be to sell up, move away and start again.The challenging and insular lifestyle would previously have been essential with no time for fear or thought of loneliness on conclusion. The busy past may not want to be repeated but the years ahead can be enjoyed, and appreciated through becoming aware of the virtues of online dating. The name can be challenging but the benefits far outweigh any suggestive undertones.Earlier dating habits may have been based on very old principles and practices but there's no necessity to re-enter the familiar territory just to share your side of the story with the familiar array of possibilities doing the

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3) are found in fish, fish oil and flaxseeds. Yummy! You can bet I was not too excited about the thought of fish oil as a cure for bipolar. Oddly enough, every bit of information I found on Omega-3 was positive. Positive that is as an adjunct to standard bipolar medications. So for people who cannot tolerate high doses or the side effects of their medications, this is something to check out with your doctor.

Many studies have been done, but the one I read most about was a 4 month double-blind placebo controlled study comparing 9.6 g/day of Omega-3 vs. olive oil in 30 patients (Stoll et al., 1999). 8 co-authors concluded that not only were the Omega 3’s well tolerated, but the improved the short term course of the patients with bipolar. They would not suggest using Omega-3 as a first line treatment but would try it for patients who had failed with other medications. Omega-3’s should only be used alone in patients with a very mild form of the illness.

Patients seem to be quite interested in the Omega-3’s because they are a natural supplement with very few side effects and little or no toxic effects. The only reported symptom was mild gastrointestinal distress – generally characterized by loose stools. Many psychiatric medications have this same effect along with a myriad of other more unpleasant ones. If my meds plagued me with a tremendous number of side effects, I would certainly be looking into this one myself.

If you haven’t heard about this one, it’s pretty interesting – depending on how you look at it. Personally I thought they were a couple of quacks until I started investigating it deeper. I mean, when all you know is that it started out with supplements that they give to pigs who are prone to ear and tail biting, you have to be a little skeptical. Don’t you?

Well, they didn’t start with actual pig nutrients; the biologist of the pair, David Hardy created a supplement for humans that were then given to Anthony Stephan’s 2 bipolar children. You can read the entire story at their website, referenced below. The supplement was named EM Power and consists of common minerals, vitamins and amino acids. In fact, the ingredients are so common that they cannot receive a patent for their work.

Several small independent studies were done through individual doctors with small numbers of patients. The results were good – up to a 50% reduction in symptoms compared to when the patients were on psychotropic drugs. Then Harvard psychiatrist Charles Popper monitored 15 patients within his own practice and the results were reported in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. Of the 15 patients that were treated, 11 were stable for 6 – 9 months without taking psychiatric medications. They also did research with Dr. Bonnie Kaplan, PhD. This helped get a grant of a half million dollars to do a placebo-controlled double blind study of 100 bipolar patients at the University of Calgary.

The two drawbacks with EM Power (besides it’s odd origins) are that it isn’t cheap and it’s a lotof pills to take. Initial treatment requires 32 capsules per day until your symptoms disappear and the cost is approximately $220.00 a month. The maintenance dose averages 16 capsules a day. It is safe for children as well – as long as they can take that many pills.

Affordable health insurance in Tennessee can be obtained through a great health care program called TennCare. TennCare provides health benefits to pregnant women; women who need cancer treatment (breast and - or cervical); children under the age of 21; people receiving, or who have received, Supplement Security Income (SSI) or some other form of Social Security assistance; people who reside in nursing homes and have a total monthly income of less than $1,373; and anyone receiving any other kind of assistance from Tennessee, including the Families First program.

Over the years, the Virginia schools (like many school systems across the nation) have been losing their public school students to home schooling. Henry County, for example, has seen an increase in home-schooled students from eight to 99 over the past 11 years.
