Well today is Saturday<br \/>and the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I am actually going to a Halloween<br \/>Party today so I have to make this<br \/>quick because I have a lot to do before<br \/>I go to the party.<\/p>\n<p>Something happen yesterday that kind of<br \/>made me really mad. <\/p>\n<p>I was talking to a friend of mine<br \/>who asked how the &#8220;bipolar stuff&#8221; <br \/>was going. I told him great.<\/p>\n<p>Then he told me how he knows<br \/>some natural doctor and as soon<br \/>as he said this, I said, &#8220;oh <br \/>geeze, here we go&#8221;, that has<br \/>a natural treatment for bipolar<br \/>disorder.<\/p>\n<p>My friend is a well intentioned<br \/>person and sincere.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to tell me how basically<br \/>in order for my mom to do well (which<br \/>she is already but I think my friend<br \/>missed that), she needs to take<br \/>this &#8220;amazing supplement&#8221; so<br \/>she could be &#8220;okay&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>My friend says that his natural doctor<br \/>friend says that it works so great<br \/>and has &#8220;totally cured people.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I hear this, I kind of want<br \/>to scream. The last time I heard this,<br \/>the person who was suppose to be cured<br \/>of bipolar disorder by meditating and<br \/>eating a kind of &#8220;tree bark&#8221; from<br \/>some kind of place in South America<br \/>was in a mega super episode and <br \/>incomprehensible for our interview.<\/p>\n<p>The person who told me said it was because<br \/>he didn&#8217;t take enough &#8220;tree bark.&#8221; I argued it was<br \/>because the person got off his medication<br \/>that was working.<\/p>\n<p>BE WARNED!<\/p>\n<p>These days there are tons and tons of people<br \/>making all kinds of claims of natural products<br \/>to treat and manage bipolar disorder. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve heard it all: tree bark, shark something<br \/>or another, magic berries, magic water, <br \/>something from volcanoes, special grass,<br \/>special mud, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the natural people that don&#8217;t<br \/>endorse natural supplements but doing natural<br \/>things to total control bipolar. Things<br \/>like &#8220;getting in touch with yourself&#8221;, <br \/>paying a ton of money for a person to <br \/>&#8220;cleanse your soul&#8221;, weird kinds of meditation<br \/>that are not free but cost $5000, etc.<\/p>\n<p>99% of what is presented to me in regards to<br \/>natural is a scam. I use to spend so much<br \/>time working to validate things brought to me.<br \/>When it comes to supplements however, I get<br \/>a ton of people sending me stuff in the mail<br \/>and writing me about this and that. Most of<br \/>them are like h.ome business programs.<\/p>\n<p>One was actually found<br \/>to have NO and I repeat NO nutritional<br \/>qualities at all and was essentially<br \/>&#8220;colored water.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These days anyone can start their own<br \/>nutritional company and sell anything<br \/>just about. Also, note that there are <br \/>many legitimate natural doctors that<br \/>are like real MDs but have other degrees.<br \/>BUT on the flip side, there are tons<br \/>and I mean tons of con artists out<br \/>there saying they are doctors but they<br \/>are really not or got a degree from like<br \/>a NON accredited mail order\/internet scam operation.<\/p>\n<p>IF you are looking into natural supplements<br \/>and bipolar disorder BEWARE.<\/p>\n<p>I actually put together a guide on this<br \/>if you are interested, it&#8217;s called:<br \/>&#8220;My Findings: Vitamins, Herbs, and Alternative <br \/>Therapies for Treating Bipolar Disorder&#8221;<br \/>http:\/\/www.bipolarcentral.com\/alternativetherapies\/<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d be shocked about the kind of nonsense<br \/>that I ran across. It really makes me super<br \/>mad when people try to make up natural things<br \/>to &#8220;cure&#8221; or take the place of bipolar medications.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, my mom takes natural things<br \/>and also does natural things to work WITH her<br \/>bipolar medication. WITH. Please read that again<br \/>with her bipolar medications. They are complementary NOT<br \/>replacements. And she ALWAYS works with her <br \/>doctor. Also, my mom does natural exercises you <br \/>probably have never heard of at the advice of her<br \/>doctor but with her bipolar medications.<\/p>\n<p>She doesn&#8217;t hide the fact she is taking it<br \/>from her doctor.<\/p>\n<p>In my courses\/systems, below:<\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING AN ADULT WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11\">http:\/\/www.bipolarsupporter.com\/report11<\/a><\/p>\n<p>SUPPORTING A CHILD\/TEEN WITH BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com\">http:\/\/www.bipolarparenting.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>HAVE BIPOLAR DISORDER?<br \/>Visit:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net\">http:\/\/www.survivebipolar.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>you hear many, and<br \/>I mean many, horror stories from people who<br \/>got off their medication and went and took<br \/>some weird supplement or went to do some<br \/>kind of strange meditation or weird<br \/>form of &#8220;natural&#8221; therapy and went into<br \/>super episodes and created doomsday scenarios<br \/>for their loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>To sum up:<\/p>\n<p>Do NOT ever make any treatment without<br \/>taking to a qualified doctor first<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t believe outrageous claims about<br \/>supplements or weird therapies for bipolar<br \/>disorder<\/p>\n<p>And no I am not a supplement hater.
