With all the colds and flu going around, it’s not easy to figure out which medications which are safe to take.
Obviously, the best way to manage medication interactions is to avoid medications that are known to cause problems.

People with Epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or addictions may be able to learn how to ‘think themselves better’ by altering their brain waves to improve their symptoms.
A new form of treatment called neurotherapy (also known as neurofeedback) is similar to biofeedback but has a unique focus on controlling brain wave activity rather than skin temperature, heart rate, breathing and muscle tension.
