Saw this on Yahoo this morning and it looked good
http://health.yahoo.com/experts/drma...-slash-stress/ 1. Starts your day with meditation 2. Diet and Herbs (Double check w/ your doc. See below) 3. Positive Thinking 4. Exercise 5. Retreat to avoid Burnout 6. Journal...write it down. 7. Use nature to gain perspective (**I think calcium/magnesium/B vitamins/Fish Oil works very well for me personally. Everyone is different).

I totally agree with you, personally I go for organic, health food to get my omega's, b vitamins, zinc, magnesium, etc. In addition to this I also take a multi-b-complex, acidopholus ( gets the good bacteria back in the bowel ), astragalus ( packed with vitamin b and helps the adrenal function, spirulina (which controls blood sugar swings and food cravings ), and I could go on with a few more, but I think you get the point.
I am a HUGE fan of Dr. Gillian McKeith, she has a few books out and they are wonderful. |

i try to remember to take B vits and fish oil and a few other things at least every other day. But I forgot today. I can't take Calcium. I do remember to take Magnesium. What do you do to remember to take these? I am afraid sometimes that taking them will help me forget to take my regular meds --- not enough memory for both I guess Mari |

Dear Mari:
For my family I use the plastic pill dispensers that have the day of the week on the lid. They sell them big enough to hold all your pills. I have my Empowerplus and omega3 and calcium. I fill it every week; otherwise I would forget to take it. I also use this system with each child. 2 of them have their medication/supplements, and the other 2 have their supplements in them, and they brush their teeth, comb their hair, take their pills, and them come eat breakfast. For the 2 that also take evening doses, they have a yellow box for morning and a blue box for evening. (I know that alot of parents freak out over their kids managing their own medication, but I think its important that it becomes a routine part of their life. I fill it once a week and put it in the bathroom, and they take it from there.) Works for us anyway. |

Dear Bobi,
Actually I do remember to take the vitamins. What I worry about is taking them and forgetting the meds. I've done that a few times. Mabye I could take vits in the AM and meds in the PM. I need a way to separate them timewise. After I take a vit, my brain thinks that that counted for meds. Most of this would be solved if I used the pill boxes you talk about. I used to buy them often and had quite a collection. And I did use them successfully for awhile. I don't know why I resist using them lately. Mabye I should just start again and do it. Mari |

I take my vitamins in the morning and my rx meds at night along with slow mag...i am supposed to chew calcium twice a day but forget.
I accidently put the mag in a pill box last year and it was not good, they put those little plastic hydo absorbers in the bottles for a reason, the mag pills sweeted out and were very bitter.Yuck! bizi

Hi,
UGH -- cross tasting of pills! I take magnesium at night too. But I mix the powder in water. The drink does not confuse me. I really really need to get on board with the pill organizers. I wonder if I have one available -- can't spend even a penny until pay day on Friday. M. |
