I hope this blog entry finds you my reader doing well!  I have been dealing with healing in my knees as of late. I had to have shots in both of them last week. It wasn't to fun! to say the least! things could be worse though. There was an old saying that I came across many years ago, which said " Eat a frog first thing in the morning and that will be the worst thing you do all day! Thank the Lord my knees are much better this week and I am walking more. I have found that God uses Doctors, and he will help give you knowledge to be a better consumer of Doctors and what they do. I have learned a lot from Bottom Line Personal Health books and newsletters. You can find this info at  www.bottomlinesecrets.com/yearbook   

I have personally been in the Hospital more times than I have wished my short 46 years. So now I try to be informed on every level.

My experiences with the Mental Health system has left much to be desired. A brain is a fragile part of the body and needs vitamins, fats, fish oils to help it function. I used to not eat a lot of fish, cut back on the fats at one time, and did'nt take vitamins. Taking Fish oil helps with Depression.  I wish early on I had started a Fish oil regime. I have however gotten on these antidepressants. They are a little hard to stop or not easy. At least the Doctors say that. Not that I am addicted. It's just once you start, stopping them has adverse effects. Prozac put me into a Brain Coma. I didn't know where I was for about a week. Its called a Neurolyptic syndrome. Alot of Antidepressants have the potential to do this. I am praying that what I take now will not produce such again. Please know I am not advocating not taking antidepressants. However, be informed! The One drug they advertise so much on TV called- Abilify, has so many potentential side effects. It is a last resort I would ever consider! Pray about your Doctors and what they prescribe, Take your good basic vitamin and fish oils. I am planning on getting involved in a Health product by MLM, which is called Vemma Shots. It is Mangosteen juices and Acai juices. As well as other good things for your health and well being. Check back in the coming months and I will share with you a link of where to order this product through me. I have taken Mangosteen Juice in the past for myself. The good effects for your body are tremendous. It is a Southeastern Asia Fruit, It is not a mango. So check back for a link or info.
