Bipolar, Migraines and Ginger

April 27, 2019 Leave a comment

I am fortunate to have only had one severe migraine in my whole life. That was after eating a huge quantity of Brazil nuts on a train journey and then having extreme suffering right through to the next morning.

I know nothing of any link between migraines and bipolar disorder but do hope you’ll watch this short video as I feel it says so much about how ‘modern’ medicine looks to sell drugs rather than look for simpler solutions.

Whatever ailment, disorder, disease, dis-ease we experience, let us look to natural remedies and minimize the use of pharmaceuticals. As always, I need to immediately add that everyone needs to take great care and get appropriate advice when coming off pharmaceuticals that are addictive and often have severe mood altering withdrawal effects.

The video is just 3m 29s

Ups and Downs – Rethink Survey

January 24, 2012 Leave a comment

This post was about the survey I helped to design for ‘ Rethinking Mental Illness’ that was live all through January 2012. Our aim is to understand and report on the treatment and support people have when they are feeling ‘up/high’ and ‘down/low’. This is for people with personal experience of using mental health services, AND FOR PEOPLE IN SUPPORTING ROLES.

I will be putting some results from this survey here soon.
