about

Greetings,

I'm here and will attempt to answer questions that relate to either your SPIRITUALITY or your HEALTH. I consider myself to be a very spiritual human being, not religious as I don't follow an organized religion's dogma.
My heart is my good book and I attempt to live life from that point of view. I have lived long enough to have gained some wisdom and feel I could have something worthwhile to share.
I've used herbs and natural supplements and followed a healthy lifestyle since the early 90's, in fact it was herbs and herbal supplements and some lifestyle changes that saved my life.
As there have been some pretty wonderful people that have helped me along my life's journey, it's simply my turn to give back and if I can help someone here, I'm glad to do that. Hope to hear from you with your questions and if I help just one other person during my experience here, it will have been worth it. Have a very Happy&Health new year everyone, you all deserve it!

hey i'm a guy. this girl i know is starting to scare me. we used to talk about everything and always have a blast, but a few months ago we started to talk less. i noticed she wasn't as active as she was before, and asked her about it. just as it seemed to be, she told me she was depressed and didn't like the kind of life she was living. she went on about all the bad things in her life with family, school, friends, herself, etc. i tried to point out good things to her, but she always came back at me with something to disprove it. after not talking for a week or so, she said she just wanted to end her life and to get away from everything. i didn't take this too serious at first, but lately she hasn't been eating, barely talks, and hasn't been looking too healthy. if she is thinking about suicide, what should i do? i asked her about it and she didn't want to talk. should i tell her parents? please help

Wow, what a good friend you are to seek help for her.... one day she'll truly appreciate having a friend like you. I really don't have an answer.... does she get along with her parents, or one of them? If so, I'm sure they've noticed a change but they may appreciate hearing it from one of her caring friends. If not, then I'd try a different approach.... does she eat well when she eats...is she conscious of heathy foods vs junk stuff? She may have a female hormone imbalance.... is their a working herbstore around you or a good healthfood store around... go there and ask them... take her there and see if she will be interested...also there are some really good herbal anti-depressants that are all natural with no side effects and I know people who got off presciption ant-depressants with them.... does she get any exercise, take her walking... does she do fun things outside the home, are her parents quarreling, or getting a divorce... is she taking any medications... perhaps depression is a side effect.... does she have bad dreams and they are effecting her daytime.... is she overweight, does she have proper bowel movements... if we don't eliminate properly we become walking talking toxic waste dumps.... what else.... it sounds like she could use a natural anti-depressant first... to help with symptoms right away and then look into the female imbalances..... does she have periods like she is suppose to...does she take birth control pills.... good luck I hope this helps.... any good library will have a women's section...perhaps the two of you can go and research female imbalance issues... and she'll find her problem there... and they will share some solutions if you find the good books... there are many.... good luck and I wish I had a friend like you!
