MOODSTRControl Your Mood – Control Your Life

Description

Multiple sclerosis can be a true roller coaster of emotions, and it’s critical that patients learn how to deal with these feelings — half of those living with MS warrant medical intervention for depression at some point. It's Not All in Your Head is a cognitive-behavioral approach to overcoming the depression, anxiety, and stress that goes hand-in-hand with this disease. Patricia Farrell helps individuals and their families better understand the effects that MS has on mood levels and anxiety, and she offers a plan of simple remediation in a self-help format. Farrell also provides a brief discussion of the diagnosis of MS and its effects on the many areas of an individual’s life, as well as an easy-to-understand explanation of the underlying neurology and why MS is now considered a neuropsychiatric disorder. A resource to help the millions with MS unaware that depression, euphoria, indifference, and other symptoms are among the most noticeable characteristics of multiple sclerosis, the book provides easy-to-understand concepts that lead to empowerment and understanding.

Why should I take Lith-a-Life? Lith-a-LifeTM is 100% natural, nontoxic, nonaddictive, requires no prescription, and carries no negative side effects. Lith-a-LifeTM is an all natural, micro mineral that every human being needs, but of which few of us have enough. When a body is lacking this vital nutrient, the body suffers in many ways. Depression sets in, energy plummets, and a host of other problems can occur-some severe, even death. The Journal of American Medicine recently reported that 20% of those suffering with bipolar disease would commit suicide. This mineral has been effective in retarding that rate. As a matter of fact, one woman in our study had planned to take her own life the following week; she bought a grave plot and began putting things in order. She took part in the study and in two weeks said, "I'm not thinking about dying any more. I'm looking for a new husband." At the end of her first month on Lith-a-LifeTM, she was enrolling in college courses and had completely changed. In the study, 98% of the participants showed marked improvement after using the supplement for just a few weeks. Natural lithium combined with orotate enters body cells and begins correcting deficiencies immediately.
