In today's times of high stress, anxiety, and desperation, many of us with illnesses such as anxiety, bipolar, or depression are finding it increasingly harder to get the help we may need, or maybe you've tried several different medications only to find you still struggle, or you are unable to take the prescribed medication for other reasons. Possibly you want to explore a more natural alternative to some of the medications you are taking. If you are interested in trying natural supplements to enhance your current medication regime, there are some great ones out there, but it takes some research. You don't want to put the wrong mix into the body and it would be ideal for you to consult your psychiatrist or a knowledgeable nutritionist that knows about psychiatric medications.I have found a great company that I use for natural supplements that I will reference for you. Please do not feel obligated to purchase from them because I sent you. They have a lot of great articles on the website and are willing to answer any questions. They offer a money back guarantee also. 

One thing to remember about supplements is that it typically takes some time to build up in your system. What I use supplements for (in addition to psychiatric meds) is to help build up my physical system so that my mind and sprit will follow in strength. Are you someone that is able to manage their medications in addition to being physically fit and balanced naturally for good health. What I am talking about is the vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and may other chemicals that the body needs to function properly. Are your basic physical needs being met? Are you getting the proper, balanced nutrition from your meals each day and exercising and being active? This is what the body needs to function optimally at a "normal" state of homeostasis (balance). Once we experience a mental illness, and subsequently, medication ingestion, this state is thrown off balance. It's ok though, you can gain the balance back and ultimately gain the most from your regime. Once the body is feeling strong and moving, the brain "feel" good chemicals are released and that helps to elevate mood and serves as a cycle of continual boost of the endorphins.

Keep in mind there are no "quick fixes" with supplements, only natural ingredients that are meant to work with your body at its most natural state. If you decide to try a supplement for anxiety, to calm you down, supplements will work, they just typically need to be taken on a regular basis and will be effective once you use them for a while. I will say that I do use the Vaxa products for physical supplementation. If I need more assistance with anxiety or insomnia down the road I will purchase from them also. I am sure you are aware that to manage any mental illness, medication or supplements alone will not make the problem go away. Dealing with underlying issues and learning valuable coping skills are crucial to gaining and maintaining a life full of joy, happiness, and prosperity, despite your anxiety, mood disorder,or anything that is causing problems in your life.

In the meantime, here is some info on Vaxa.

Why go Natural?

For years I have suffered from Chronic Pain, Anxiety, Depression, and Substance Abuse. I have been handed unwanted drugs, been subjected to almost every physical test in the book (without any kind of physical abnormalities), and been lied to by either the Mental Health industry or the Medical Industry. I finally know what is at the root of my psychosomatic (physical manifestations of emotional issues) illnesses. It took me several years and a lot of research, but I finally found out that the drugs I was given were ineffective and just flat out WRONG! They have been known to cause brain damage and actually, after chronic long-term use, they will cause the exact symptom that you are trying to alleviate!! Antidepressants cause can cause depression, anti-anxiety drugs can cause anxiety. All you have to do is look at the side effects. It is right there in black and white...I wonder what the earlier pioneers of our planet did without these drugs.

My Story: From Un-Natural to Natural

Well, it is hard for me to accept the fact that I have been a "lab rat" since 1995. That is, too many years worth of misdiagnoses and taking the wrong medications. I have suffered some damage from these experiences but the bottom line is that now I rely less and less on medication, and more and more on my own innate strength to get through the troubling times that my "illnesses" may bring about. I have wanted to find a natural alternative to my problems for years. I have been researching for years, so you can be rest assured that I "practice what I preach". If you would like to contact me about more of my experience please email me.

If you are interested in the benefits of nutrition please consult a nutritionist in your area.
