Some Stress and Anxiety Solutions…
22 Comments
Sometimes my hands shake so much, I look like I’m leading a symphony. (Without a baton.) Legs too, I have to sit down.
Maybe you panic before a test, the very fear of having a seizure, social rejection, job anxieties, debt, fear of failure, an anticipated argument, holidays, fear of flying.
There are probably as many kinds of stress and panic attacks as there are those of us who suffer from them.
And behaviors: trembling, sweating, hyperventilating, breathlessness, feeling faint or light-headed, a sense of disorientation, cramping, nausea, your heart pounding like it’s going to explode from your chest, a fear of dying.
Or you’re just plain scared.

How Music Soothes Your Seizures…
36 Comments
Music is food for the soul, the mind and the body.
Great music, when carefully selected, can change our moods, energize us, calm us, improve our mental focus, lift us up spiritually, and help us become more healthy.
Not surprisingly, music has also been found to have a profoundly positive effect on people with epilepsy.
In fact, one research study even found that when patients are treated with music therapy as well as conventional anti-seizure meds, as many as eighty percent of seizures were reduced by seventy five percent!

Is it Organic?
14 Comments
For quite some time, there’s been an explosion of health food products on the market, specifically advertised as either “organic foods” or “natural” foods.
Most people don’t know that there is a major difference between “organic” and “natural” foods, believing that the two are interchangeable.
