I want you to know, I have been on herbal cures for a year. I still take my meds but use the dietary cures as well. Has anyone with B-P. experienced greater success? I recognize there are ways of losing weight. (the meds make us get overweight) There are the Omega3-6 oils. The suppliment cromium Picolanate increases glucose metabolism as well. Use of alfalfa tablet daily will reduce water retention.(Meds usually cause it) Using fruits and vegetables more in your diet not only helps you stay lower weight, but they help your brain. Everyday walks not only help manage weight but relieves stress and give you a time for self therapy. (even walking in the winter is suggested-just dress accordingly) Exercise and fresh air also get rid of the disphoric mood that b-P's easily get into. Well just to let you know, it is not easy living with Bi-polor and there is IFeel a thin line between getting well and remission.(What do you think? Agreed or disagreed) Just tell me what you do to cool off, and break out of the saddness or maina naturally? I would like to share and be shared with on this topic. Thank you all and good luck and God Bless your life today and always. Razeljenny
