BIPOLAR DISORDER and proven natural ways of healing

BIPOLAR DISORDER and proven natural ways of healing - This is an article written by a friend and writer over at HubPages.com who is from Croatia. She writes about other causes to consider concerning bi-polar depression: not having enough certain mineral salts in your system can cause psychiatric disorders or the thyroid gland may be an issue. 10 tips to assist in the balance of mood swings is also included.

Warning: If you or a loved one suffers from depression, it's worth it to check out alternative ideas for natural healing. Keep your doctor informed of what you may be considering as it's important to remain on your medications. Why? They were calibrated for your particular system and just abruptly taking yourself off meds can cause serious setbacks or damage.

Work with your doctor for a safe and slower approach when changing or coming off meds. The object is to heal completely or find a way to manage the problem - not create a worse problem. This article is very interesting, informative and is in depth, teaching along the way.

What Really Makes Me So Smart - part one

What Really Makes Me So Smart-part one: "Do you know what really makes you smart? How well do you know yourself on the deepest level?

Well, that’s an arrogant title! What can I say? I find the truth amusing – even about myself - and possess the boldness to speak it out loud. “Wow! What an ego!” you say? Now that you have made an assumption about where this story is going, well, just read on; you won’t be disappointed."

Since it's the Christmas season and I absolutely LOVE the holiday season - here's a lovely poem by a friend of mine. He is a trucker who travels America.

While he's driving he composes wonderful poetry in his head, most of it is love poetry to his beautiful wife. What woman would not love to be immortalized in poetry?

After reading my article We Believe In Santa he was inspired to write his answer in poetry form. My fellow poets are such fun!

Santa's Love



Santa's like the wise men,
He's dad and mother too,
He's your friend and neighbor,
And someone that's there for you.

He's your pal and buddy,
And your confidante you see,
He's on every corner,
Every home is where he'll be.

He wants to see you happy,
‘Cause he gives the gift of love,
He gives it from his heart of gold,
And from the Lord above.

Three wise men honored Jesus,
The night that was His birth,
They honored Him with gifts because
The wise men knew His worth.

Santa's truly in our heart,
With every gift we give,
Santa's love just like the Lord’s,
Forever they will live.
