I want something real- Not some off the wall cure

Depends if you are a man or a woman.
Each are effected differently and the same diet for one may not work for all. Low sodium is always best when fighting high blood pressure, but I am sure you know this.
Red Clover tea works well. Depending on your age and sex, you may look for those that are hormone specific with Red Clover, Ginseng, Ginger root, Bladderwack or Burberry, and White willow bark, and Black Cohosh and Wild Yam. This one is mostly for women. Also, a natural progesterone creme, especially if you have had children.
For men, a hormone specific male supplement with Red Clover and Ginseng, as well as low dose of Yohimbine, Saw Palmetto, and adding lycopene rich foods in your diet will also help. Getting your hormone levels tested for estrogen vs testosterone is a key factor in cardiovascular health and blood pressure.
For both………cleanse your liver. Do a parasitic cleanse the week before

and then follow the instructions on this page for liver cleanse
http://www.colonzone.org/liver-flush.php

Check your pressure the week after and then every two weeks. When you start to see it get above normal levels for you, you may need to do it again.
Hope this info helped and hope you soon get it under control

First of all before i get to my question,

Id like to add why I myself use these meds in the first place and maybe my vew will help others get more knowledgeable : )
As most of us know, I in this case and many others with similar disorders are screwed unless they get too the psychological/emotional root of the problem and work on themselves towards complete recovery through cognitive therapy.. keep in mind LONG TERM*

But as of now, I and I’m sure many others don’t have the time or the resources to get to the correct therapy and truly assess the roots of problem through releasing their repressed emotions. At this point, I can easily say that alot of us only have the ability to numb the effects chemically and make the best of it while it lasts and while they still can.(insurance or buying for the drugs)

We all know success in any environment requires self assertiveness, but I think that what too many people fail to understand the difficulties involved in getting through such disorders without aid. Many times this is impossible without short term use of medication to jump start their success and hopefully after that get the true cure though harmless drug free cognitive therapy, they wont need the meds ever again.

I think people really need to become more understanding and educated about why people with mental disorders such as mine (or worse) would resort to destroying their brain chemistry’s and bodies by using such dangerous med’s which are pretty much more or less illegal street drugs such as cocaine(adderall) and pretty much prescription alcohol(xanax). Only an idiot would ingest and sooner or later abuse these poisons if they didnt have any medical basis for the drug. It feels so great to live a normal life, Disordered people take them to simply function like normal people and to live up to their true potentials. Its a trade off. disordered and debilitating unproductive natural life or chemically induced life of productivity with risks of lifelong health consequences and addiction.

BTW, sorry I went a bit off topic… however im sure it was worth the reading either way xD

Hey, I’m experimenting on prescription medication for my ADHD combined type coexisting with an anxiety disorder called social phobia(fear of social interaction with others for no logical reason, in response the body triggers its fight or flight defence mechanism and thinks your being attacked. so it prepares you for self defence and attack), and deficits with verbal expression but above average and possibly a generalized anxiety disorder as well. I was prescribed a one month supply of Generic Adderall IR at first and my doc let me experiment up to 40mg.

I have a 60 day supply of Adderall XR(10mg) and 30 day supply of Adderall IR (10mg), and 30 day supply of recently prescribed Xanax XR(1mg). I have the adderall in my closet for over half a year and finished only half of the XR and used only 10 IR pills. So that says something…

I didn’t like IR because I didn’t like the sudden pick me up, it felt very unnatural and and that isnt the reason I take these meds

So he switched me too Adderall XR(brand) which is supposedly smoother and better for the crash when the med wears off

He also prescribed me Xanax XR(brand)(30 x 1mg) to try for my social anxiety.

The adderall gives me high blood pressure, high pulse, and a form of anxiety(it improves my social anxiety by a little and either way i can still talk to people normally, i just feel very tense and stiff, I become disrespectful to others because I interrupt and blurt what others would say before they finish their points, and sometimes paranoid) ive been commented… , it was very hard to urinate and sometimes it was impossible until an hour or so later (this was on 30mg Adderal XR), and muscle tension(crack my knuckles very very often), jitters at first, very dry dry mouth, some appetite loss, extremely cold hands and feet, and finally i sometimes I get motor ticks on my thighs, arms, and feet.

I’d like too reduce/eliminate all or at least majority of the overstimulation of the bodies nervous system and organs caused by the stimulant medication Adderall; by taking it in conjunction with Xanax to level out the effects and hopefully greatly minimize the possible long term heart, blood pressure/circulation problems, and all other problems associated with the use of Adderall or any other strong stimulant. Id like to feel the benefits of the adderall without the physical stimulation and anxiety it manifests.

I was thinking adderall XR(brand) 70mg(7*10mg pills)(which really is 35mg at first then 35 more later) with 2mg of Xanax XR(brand).

I want too know if I chose too much Xanax or too much of the adderall..

Does anyone have any experience with this? Anyone try the same thing? Can anyone recommend me a good combination? Any better medication combinations? Do you think a Beta-Blocker like Inderall would be a good idea as opposed too Xanax X

Wow, that was a really long story. I disagree with your premise. I don’t think that Adderall numbs you, I think it actually addresses the Dopamine imbalance in your brain that results in ADHD. I also think that 2 mg of Xanex is a lot. Inderall might be a very good idea if you need that much Xanex.

Have you considered asking your dr for guidance, instead of the Y!A community?

Can someone help me how to stop anxiety? plz?
well I am gay and mexican and I feel anxious… for years I have several anxiety and taken medications like paxil, fluxetine, venlafaxine and clonazempa,tafil and I haven’t felt better.. I feel cold in my feel and sweat them.. and also I have developed colitis and problems with high blood pressure.. I don’t know what to do.. doctors told me it’s depresion and others just anxiety.. maybe because I dont’t feel accepted but I got worried about everything even now I got out of the university and I am graduated and to find a job here .. not money to move another state.. well anyway plz tell me something natural.. a doctor told me natural doesn’t work in me because my body has been used to take strong medications.. thanks for understanding my bad english.
I have taken clonazampa but.. I think I am addictive now.. but I don’t take all day just one per day. before sleeping.. because I can’t sleep sometimes

not being able to sleep goes along with being anxious & depressed. If you take your medicine as prescribed, you shouldn’t get addicted.

along with medication you should be receiving talk therapy also. You can take meds all your life but until you get down to the bottom of what is causing your anxieties, no amount of medication will help you.

Male Hair loss generally refers to the male pattern baldness. It is medically referred as “Androgenic Alopecia”. Male hair loss affects a person at any time after puberty. The hair usually recedes the letter “M” and the crown hair becomes thinner as age advances. It is common in men and women. But a lot more men suffer from it than women.

For the male Propecia is a good product that should not be used by women. If a women is pregnant Propecia may injure the baby in the womb.

Propecia will also cause hair growth on parts of the body where women do not like to have hair (body, face)
Hence Propecia is not recommended for women. Men can be treated with propecia but with some side effects which include impotency and lack of sex drive. You should always consult your physician before taking this medicine.

In the early days, Rogaine was used to treat high blood pressure, but now it is primarily used to stop hair loss. Rogaine should be used continuously for three to four months to have some fruitful results.

The reason for men losing hair is mainly due to the levels of DHT (Dihydro testosterone) in the scalp. The DHT is present in a person immediately after his puberty and the purpose of DHT is to develop secondary sexual characteristics. DHT gets attached to the hair follicle and prevents the assimilation of nutrients to the follicles which in turn cause thinning out of hair and finally shedding of hair.

In order to prevent this problem there are many products available on the market. The most important igredient is saw palmetto. It is clearly evident that saw palmetto blocks DHTs and is a natural medication. A product called Hair Genesis consists of saw palmetto and is used extensively.

Hair energizer hair products by Ferm-T are also being used for treatment. Even women can use this product without any side effect. The Hair energizer helps to stop hair thinning and loss of hair. The Hair Energizer kit comes with a bottle of Follicle spray, 15 ml tube Jojoba oil, a bottle of shampoo, and 60 tablets of vitamins & minerals. Advecia, is another product that helps with this problem. It is essential for revitalizing the hair follicles which are deprived of nutrients.

In contrast generaly Women’s hair loss does not result in total loss as like that of men. It is still devastating.

The psychological impact on women is extensive when compared to men since women consider their hair as a vital part of their beauty and find it to be an important part of their outer appearance.

Heredity is a cause for this problem in women. Moreover the treatment of women is entirely different than that of men, because the medication offered for re-growth of hair may cause the growth in other parts of the body such as chest, back, and face. Most women don’t like facial hair growth.

Women suffering from hair loss need to consult a doctor to find out what the causes are. Once it has been ascertained, the physician will be able to prescribe the suitable medication. For women, many physicians prescribe estrogen to correct the condition.

Loss of hair in women can be treated with cucocorticoids. Topical application of Minoxodil or Anthralin is the only recommended treatment available for women. The initial stage can be treated well and the response to the treatment is also extremely good.

An important condition called Androgenic alopecia is found to be affecting about 2% of the population. This condition causes complete loss of hairfrom the whole body. In this category women’s treatment is found to be difficult to cure. Doctors may prescribe certain medicines to reduce the symptoms of androgenic alopecia.

Women who have just given birth to a child also suffer from hair loss very often. This is usually temporary and may stop within 6 months after birth. This is mainly due to the fact that there is a higher estrogen level during pregnancy, which might result in keeping the hair follicles in the growth phase. Immediately after childbirth, there is a sudden withdrawl of estrogen. Hair may grow again after 6 months, but applying hair tonic may hasten re-growth of hair.

Sometimes crash diets may lead to women losing hair and also rapid weight loss over a short period of time. In addition to this, emotional and physical stress may also result in hair loss. Immediately after the alleviation of the stress, the hair fallout will be stopped.

Frequent dyeing and chemicals e.g. Perming solutions used on hair may cause a problem. This happens when chemicals are used frequently. The hair begins to break off. Treatments, when applied on the scalp may strengthen the follicles.

Once you have identified the main cause of the loss, choose the right treatment at the right time to ensure better hair growth. In most serious cases of women’s hair loss, it is always advisable to seek the help of a dermatologist for complete diagnosis and
treatment plan.

Does this mean that if you are taking these drugs which artificially and not always effectively, lower your blood pressure and blood fat levels, that you can not eat the wonderful gift of the gods that is the grapefruit?

As far as fat levels are concerned, another study found that a healthier diet is more effective than drugs at reducing high cholesterol levels and that GPs should giving dietary advice before handing out drugs.

It has been quoted time and time again, and the more I read and research the more I find that there is abundant truth in the saying If the doctors of today do not become nutritionists, the doctors of tomorrow will be nutritionists.

Lets take a look at the humble grapefruit which is causing these medications such trouble. It is a member of the citrus family along with the orange and its varieties (Satsuma, tangerine, mandarin etc) lemons and limes. It is commonly used in weight loss diets and for those who are slimming as it is said to help your body to break down fats in your body so you can get rid of them more easily. Not only is it high in vitamin C and A, potassium, Calcium and phosphorus, but grapefruits contains unique plant compounds that reduce insulin levels, which in turn promotes weight loss. They are a good source of fibre and water. It can be used to relive flu and scanty urination, and aids digestion, fevers and fatigue. There is also evidence to suggest that due to its effect on insulin levels, it can aid diabetic symptoms.

Now if you can give me clear evidence that you should continue to take these artificial drugs in preference to the health benefits that can be derived from the addition of grapefruits to your diet, along with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, essential fatty acids, clean water, moderate exercise and the exclusion of smoking, foods high in saturated fatty, refined processed fried foods and refined sugars then I would be very interested to see it.

Your body is made up of what you put in it, and the better the nutrient value of the things you put in it, the easier it is for your body to carry out is job of self rejuvenation and self healing, which is what it was designed to do.

However, while you are taking medications, I am obliged to suggest you consult your doctor and continue taking your medication so as not cause yourself any problems. When moving to natural medicines in the form of foods and herbs, we normally have to continue artificial medications and leave it up to the person who prescribed it to decrease the dose then stop it as they feel appropriate. This is why prevention is much much much much better than cure, especially if you need to go the orthodox medical world for the supposed cure.

Take care and stay healthy
