Information on bipolar
Someone very close to me has expressed that he was diagnosed with bipolar a few years ago. Now that the season is transitioning into winter, I am noticing that his moods are more erratic and the things he says are very negative and worrisome at times. I've inspired him to eat healthier to an extent (he is mostly veg with some fish on occasion) and quit smoking cigarettes. At one point he went vegan for a few weeks, but reverted back to his cheese addiction. He eats a lot of cheese and a good amount of fried foods, which he knows he shouldn't be eating. He drinks alcohol every day sometimes heavily sometimes just a drink. He smokes pot more than three times a day and claims it helps him with his moods.
Do you or anyone you know have any suggestions on how I can help him through this? Perhaps, you know some good online resources where I could go to get more information?
Thank you!
He is currently not on prescription medication for this disorder. (I don't like calling it a disorder). For this...mental/emotional obstacle?

Wow, helping someone else, what a challenge, been doing that for years, and I always say, that's the last time, like my 400-lb friend......so hard.
Can you get him on raw goat's milk? 'Twould be an improvement at least.
And, of course, the deal-breaker.....how much does he want to help himself? I don't even wanna guess.

wow that is a lot to deal with... the best thing for him to do would go cold turkey and quit everything at once and do a green juice or water fast... the main thing is that he is chasing too many highs right now for it to be easy unless he makes the decision that it is really what he wants to do and then go hard core. There are some herbs that may help like lobelia for addictive behavior but really he is just going to have to tough it out.
I wish I had more to tell you but if he isn't willing to try then you should cut ties with him because it's not good for you to have that kind of negativity around. If he could find a good yoga class with a lot of breathing exercises that would be a way for him to get a natural buzz and may ease his transition. Good luck with this.

Then we could talk about the psychiatric industry, how corrupt can anything be. The medical complex....selling pills, proclaiming someone's "normalcy". People trying to act "normal".
Even Jimmy Durante understood, "Why don't people just leave people the Hell alone".
Yeah, I know, many people feel they gotta fit in, I don't mean to make light of all this.
But I some how just gotta make light of all this, at least to shed a little light.
(You didn't hear any of this from me).

well, you could use stand up positions or kitchen sink, heck, better yet some sensual bath tubs and forget about a cushion in "dead pose"
Yes. I'm doing a diet like that. I'm the skinniest I've ever been, including back when I barely ate at all just to be thin. I could not lose the weight when I was doing high fruit, 100% raw. I would work out so hard all the time, and nothing would...
I was watching this and they say that Niburu has an orbit of 3600 years. So they speculate that Jesus was from there and when he returns it will be only 1 year later for him and 3600 years later for us. This sounds so incredible but if they are di...
Yeah, and I could kiss my sex life goodbye.
I bet, you could lose weight on greens, low fat and low sugar diet. I can't prove it my self , always been bone skinny, but now I am skinier on such diet, but also I still maintain skinny look with more sugarly fruit in my diet. Be carefull with r...

Ha, this pic is making me want a green smoothie. I think I'll get up and make one.
well, you could save your "fortune" and sleep on the floor and get much better resoults than anything new high raw tech can provide, unless that floor is concrete.
Haha, Chris. I am definitely a true Columbian. There was a painting on the wall behind the couch that my parents dug out of a trash can; we had a compost pile and a garden, but nothing sloppy enough to violate the "residential code" (unlike my bes...

I wish I could get the taste of it, to judge for my self..................don't buy this kind of stuff.
I usually add parsley to my juices or smoothies.
