First of all, I want to thank everyone that prayed for me, my daughter Christina and her family last week after I posted the need for prayer. I won't go over the particulars again...but I would just like to say that the prayers were very effective and even though last week was one of the THE most difficult I have ever had...we have all made it through and are praising God for his faithfulness and for the love and support of this community. Things have improved considerably.
Christina will be able to come home on March 31...and we are planning on a family gathering to celebrate Christina's son's birthday and the birth of our newest grandchild, which will be no later than April 1. She has AA meetings mapped out and she will do IOP...her intense outpatient counseling. She has learned a lot...and there is a long road ahead in terms of the recovery and the legal aspects. I would ask that you especially pray that she is able to stay out of prison/jail...but really that the best outcome will be reached for her...we will leave that up to God's discretion. I know it would take a miracle...but it sure doesn't hurt to ask.
Again....thank you....this community is so great...and God does answer the prayers of his people. Our God is an awesome God...and His faithfulness endures forever...love you all...and I pray God's richest blessings on you and your families...
Thanks for that...will make a note of it...the hospital lithium is not good...
Life changing supplement for me.
What did it help you with...if you don't mind my asking...
Depression & anxiety. Killed my desire to drink alcohol
Thank you...good to know what you used it for and how successful it was...
Thanks for the site...have never seen it...will check it out...I buy a lot of supplements...
What do you take for depression...the best thing I ever used for depression is St. John's Wort and Bach Flower Remedies. Also, citrus essential oils are excellent for lifting the mood...blends are good...and it is so easy to diffuse... What amino acids do you do for anxiety?...Ashwaganda is for anxiety...the kids take that...I am sure there are others... What do you take for insomnia...melatonin? I don't mean to be nosy...but inquiring minds want to know...I also like to know what works and what people use....just naturally curious, I would say....
No...I recognize the amino acids for what you are taking them for...I am glad you have found things to help with your different issues...I am not in the market to take anything at this stage, but my kids all seemed to inherit whatever mental disorders run in the family...which is disconcerting. I can't imagine the withdrawal you had to go through...I hate brain imbalances...if you have diabetes or cancer it's okay...but if you have depression or schizophrenia...a physical disorder with a mental symptom...you are considered "crazy"...Our family has schizophrenia, depression, addictions, bi-polar, anxiety...and probably some more that are not even diagnosed and I have used many different therapies...mostly successfully, but I have to say I have never tried the amino acids you are taking. Thank goodness you found things to help keep you on an even keel.
I did a lot of reading of Dr. Amen...thought about taking certain kids for the brain scan he does...it looks so interesting...it was especially tempting when he opened an office in the Atlanta area...but I just never got around to it...and it is pricey...but he has some really good information on the brain though...fascinating subject...I actually took a Touch for Health class LONG AGO where we learned a lot of "brain gym" activity to help balance the brain...it was all quite interesting. We are very wonderfully made without a doubt...and very complex...made in the image of God... Thanks for sharing...I may need to utilize some of the aminos in the future...
I was interested in Rightminded's suggestion for lithium oratate and started to do a little research...came across this article...thought you would find it interesting reading, if nothing else...it seems to cover several of the issues that you use the amino acids for...it is interesting how several different supplements can effect the same change...Anyway thought you would find this interesting...if not maybe include the article in the alcoholism list...or whatever list it would go on...you have so many...haha...let me know what you think of lithium oratate...

I notice the spelling is orotate in the article...not oratate...
This is an excellent article that I am going to send to all my kids...I may run it off for reference...fortunately we have corrected some of these imbalances but not others...it is certainly food for thought...especially coupling all this info with the lithium orotate...I just love discovering new ways to treat things...thanks so much for keeping these lists...
