STRESS!

Is the stress of life getting to you? With the visions of terror all around us these days, we need to balance our body and mind. Immunity is also a really big issue. Lately, I am taking something called B1-Bomber by Dr. Michael Pinkus. He calls it the Ultimate Stress Vitamin. I have always understood Vitamin B to be stress reducing, but after reading this book, I see it is so much more. It can speed the healing of wounds, improve immune function and prevent nerve damage. I was surprised to learn it should be taken to help alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome and ease muscle cramps. This book focuses on Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Biotin, Folic Acid and Cobalamin. You can easily find these natural in foods and if you have a balanced diet, that is the best way to get them into your system. There are also special doses for Acne, Asthma, Carpal Tunnel, Joint Diseases, Diabetes and a list of conditions. Each vitamin has a recommended dosage, deficiency symptoms, food sources and cautions. There is also a section on ADD that parents will want to read. They also include Alternative Health Strategies and a one-minute stress reducer exercise that really works. Otherwise, getting a massage is the best way to really destress. Of all the things I have tried, taking B-vitamins and getting a massage while listening to relaxing CD's can't be beat. Please consult your doctor before adding supplements into your diet. A nice compact little book that will help you improve your life. ~The Rebecca Review
