Mini Yoga Workout: Downward Facing Dog to Plank and Back

http://thenaturalguide.com - Master Yoga Instructor Emily Herakovich shows us how to get a great workout in just 5 to 7 minutes! In her words: This mini-series that I'm about to show you is a combination of two of the foundational, fundamental yoga postures used in every Yoga class all over the world, put together in a unique way that lends itself to it's own mini full body workout and has a variety of benefits. Today we'll be focusing primarily on the abdomen, but this pose cannot be done without also activating the arms and the thighs. We'll start in Downward Dog - the signature yoga pose. Right away the upper arms, shoulders, hamstrings and back will be engaged. We'll begin breathing here, loosening and also starting to heat the body. For some individuals, this is a very difficult posture, but I will demonstrate ways to make it a bit more accessible and comfortable since we won't be holding it long. The focus here remains on the breathe, as we always want to move with our breathe in Yoga - this gives us extra power in our movement and actually lowers risk of strain. From downward dog, we'll be moving into plank position by engaging our abdomen and initiating the movement from our center (or core). Although our body's shape will change, plank pose will keep our arms, shoulders, back, thighs and abdomen engaged in a similar, yet different way. We'll then again engage the abdomen again to push back into downward dog yet again. We'll repeat this movement several times. What we're accomplishing here is learning to engage our abs not only before we move, but with any and every moment we do. All bodily movement initiates in our core and the more we can remember than and learn to activate in a way that allows it to carry the burden and takes the effort out of the arms and thighs. The result? A strong and flatter center and better health!

Pose: Adho Mukha Svansana - Downward Dog to Ardha Chaturanga Dandasana - Plank Pose, Moving Dynamically.

Yoga Transformed My Life and Restored My Femininity by Emily Herakovich

http://thenaturalguide.com - Want transformation? Try Yoga! Watch this inspiring story by yoga instructor Emily Herakovich. Emily started yoga ten years ago while in college to stay fit. She practiced for many years while in college. After college she got into real commercial estate sales. But that created a disconnect in her life, and she wasn't happy. She quit her job, enrolled in yoga teacher training, and was opened up like a lotus flower after 6 months of training. She lives a more authentic life now and loves who she is; her friendships and love relationships have changed for the better; and she encourages us all to try yoga to find our own authenticity and be transformed. She says that, "yoga brings you back to yourself." Try it today!

Get Sexy, Flat and Strong Abs with Boat Pose by Yoga Instructor Emily Herakovich

http://thenaturalguide.com - Want great abs?! Watch this video with yoga instructor Emily Herakovich to see how to perform "boat pose" (Navasana). Share the video, do the pose, get in shape! Do it at home, or join a yoga studio to learn more poses that will help restore your health, get in shape and calm your mind. Boat pose is for strengthening abs, thighs and hip flexors while activating energy in the arms. Translated as boat pose due to the way the body looks when this posture is fully expressed, boat pose is a powerful pose unto itself. Navasana requires a moderate level of balance and a high level of mental willpower, but this pose is a great way to strengthen primarily the abdomen. Although not necessarily as initially heating to the body as some other postures, it's level of difficulty is higher. And the longer you can hold the pose, the more you'll definitely begin to feel the burn. Like every posture in yoga, it tests our mind's focus and will power to work through what we may be resistant to and/or uncomfortable with. Emily doesn't really like this pose, but she does it because of how it shapes those particular areas of her body.

Yoga Chair Pose for a Firm Butt and Flat Abs by Emily Herakovich

http://thenaturalguide.com - Watch this video if you want a firm butt and flat abs! Yoga instructor Emily Herakovich shows us how to do Chair Pose (Utkatasana - also referred to as Power Pose or Thunderbolt) for a toning workout that gets results! Utka, meaning fierce, in Sanskrit, is the ultimate way to describe the pose she will show you how to do. Most commonly referred to as Chair pose, which is a pretty boring name given its literal translation, it is a pose that has benefits for almost all areas of the body. Today we'll focus on the areas of the buttocks and abdomen, but as a result, you'll also feel the power in the knees and thighs. This pose, by itself, can be a workout in and of itself. It heats the body, acting as both a general warm up and then really gets the heart pumping to start burning fat and calories. It's not about sitting as deeply as you can and forcing yourself into a painful state, it's really just about engaging the areas of focus in a way that is both productive and relatively comfortable. If you only have 5 minutes per day to give your body some attention, this posture is a great place to start!

TinaB Slams GMO Food in Support of CA Prop 37 to Label Genetically Modified Food

http://thenaturalguide.com - Share this video! Label GMOs! Vote Yes on CA Prop 37! In this video, TinaB slams a piece in support of California Proposition 37 which would mandate package labeling of Genetically Modified Organisms - GMOs - in consumer foods. GMOs are also referred to as Genetically Engineered food. GMO food was released into the world food system in the 1990s by Monsanto before human and environmental health impacts were fully studied. The United Nations World Health Organization and the American Medical Association have called for mandatory safety testing of genetically engineered foods.

The California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act (Prop 37) is simple: The initiative would require food sold in retail outlets to be labeled if it is produced through genetic engineering, and would not allow these products to be labeled as "natural." Prop 37 is a citizen initiative, meaning that Californian volunteers collected over a half-million signatures to get this on the November ballot. Labeling GMOs is the first step in raising consumer awareness to give consumers a choice to avoid them. GMO crops have been linked to allergies, organ toxicity, infertility, and more.

The first long-term study of its kind was released in September 2012 in the peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicity, which linked tumors to consumption of GMO corn. Further studies are expected to more precisely define the effects of GMOs on health. GMOs are also responsible for environmental problems such as an increase in pesticide and fertilizer use, an emergence of super weeds that siphon water and nutrients from staple crops, and the contamination of non-GMO crops through pollen-drift. Until GMOs are labeled, keep yourself safe by eating organic food whenever possible. Share this video! Help Label GMOs! Vote Yes on CA Prop 37!

We Love Los Angeles for its Sunny Weather, Great People, Fun Beaches, and Healthy Food!

http://thenaturalguide.com - Seven people on the streets of Santa Monica share why they love living in Los Angeles and Santa Monica, California. Delicious food, sunny weather, friendly people, great beaches and more were the top reasons why these people love living in Los Angeles. This is my first shoot with my new Panasonic HPX-170 P2 video camera, shot in the 720 24p cinema mode. I didn't use any lighting or extra microphones, and so far, I love how this camera looks. I can't wait to shoot more footage with proper lighting and audio/microphones to see what this camera can do! I'm loving both Los Angeles and this new video camera! ~ Larry Cook

iPhone 4S Video: Seagull Squawking At Venice Pier In Los Angeles

http://thenaturalguide.com - I videotaped this seagull squawking with my new iPhone 4S and the picture quality is fairly good, but the video codec is bad. I imported the footage into iPhoto, then imported it into Final Cut Pro 6 and put it onto the timeline. The audio is not 48KZ, so I had to render the audio.

I'm running an 8-core Mac Pro and the footage slowed all responses on the timeline: cursor, start, stop, etc. I added transitions to the timeline, and those took forever to render, and then wouldn't play correctly. I outputted the timeline to Quicktime and the transitions were a major fail. So I took out the extra footage and just uploaded this clip. My first upload was with it at full size in the Apple Intermediate Codec, and YouTube rejected it! This clip is a scaled down video (640 X 360) of the original, and actually I'm quite surprised I had to do that.

Although the footage looks great on the iPhone, I just can't ever see using it in any type of professional application. If you know of any tricks on how to handle this footage in Final Cut Pro, please leave a comment.

For Best Relief, Relax During A Chiropractic Adjustment

http://thenaturalguide.com - 19-year-old Robert got his first chiropractic adjustment within minutes of birth, and he has been getting adjusted ever since. His father is Dr. Donald Trepany, a Los Angeles based Chiropractor. Robert suggests that the best way to get adjusted is to relax—not tense up—as relaxing allows the vertebrae to move the easiest, thereby not causing pain, but rather, relief.

Chiropractic adjustments are manual adjustments to the vertebrae that bring them back into alignment so that nerve signal flow is optimized. Although the adjustment may look painful, in reality, most people feel a sense of relief once the vertebrae has been moved back into alignment. Since spines go out of alignment on a daily basis, getting regular Chiropractic adjustments is recommended.

Naturopathic Doctors Treat Root Causes of Symptoms for Healing Success

http://thenaturalguide.com - Why manage symptoms with drugs when you can treat root causes of symptoms and heal? Naturopathic Medicine, practiced by Naturopathic Doctors, is a system of medicine that identifies root causes of symptoms so that proper natural therapies can be used to help the body heal on its own. Once the patient is diagnosed, treatment will often include dietary change, nutritional supplementation, herbal/botanical remedies, homeopathy, and other highly effective nontoxic natural therapies designed to help the body regain balance and therefore health.

Naturopathic Doctors attend four year federally recognized and accredited Naturopathic Medicine schools and learn the same sciences as their medical doctor counterparts, and also learn about using natural, safe and highly effective alternative medicines that stimulate the body's ability to heal. California licensed Naturopathic Doctors are primary care physicians who are allowed to order lab tests and treat all diseases, except cancer (although they are allowed to treat the side-effects of cancer therapies, and also offer "wellness support" to their cancer patients). Naturopathic medicine is a highly effective alternative medicine modality that has high success rates for those who follow their Naturopathic Doctor treatment protocols.

http://realizehealth.org is a new website devoted to educating people about Naturopathic Medicine and over the next year new content will be added that will help people understand the natural approach to medicine. Indeed, why manage symptoms with toxic side-effect producing drugs when you can treat the problem naturally and regain your health?! Visit http://realizehealth.org today, learn how it can help you heal, and talk to a naturopathic doctor.

http://vegcoach.com - Eat Vegan On $4 A Day author Ellen Jaffe Jones gives her story as to why she went vegetarian, then vegan. It began as way to improve her health as she witnessed most of her family suffering from a number of diseases, including cancer. At one point she went off her plant-based diet, only discover her own health deteriorate to the point of landing in the emergency room. Yet, when she went back to eating plants, her health regained. She also explains where her protein comes from, and what she does about vitamin B12. She concludes the video with why she wrote her book: because she watched on TV a welfare recipient explain that welfare money was not enough money to eat healthfully. Eat Vegan On $4 A Day shatters that myth by showing us how we can buy whole plant foods from the produce section as well as beans and grains in the bulk section of our grocery stores and that when we cook this food from scratch, we can most certainly afford to eat healthy while on a budget.

Ellen Jaffe Jones is "THE VEG COACH." She is a personal trainer, running coach, author, and teaches healthy cooking classes designed by respected doctors and registered dieticians.

Get More Nutrition By Drinking Juiced Vegetables, Leafy Greens and Fruits

http://thenaturalguide.com - Drinking juiced vegetables and fruit minimizes digestion processes which then helps the body to absorb a maximum amount of nutrition in a short amount of time. Juicing is an easy way to get more nutrition that the body needs. Many people have done 10-day, 30-day and even 60-day juice fasts and have had amazing health results. In fact, a documentary was recently released about this very topic: "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead," which I highly recommend.

In this video, Mario from Tribest Corporation shares some benefits to drinking fresh-juiced vegetables and fruits, and also explains some of the features of their Green Star juicer. You can find Tribest juicers at http://tribestlife.com.

How to Encounter Your True Self and Access Your Full Potential

http://thenaturalguide.com - To live in your full potential requires that you embody your True Self. What would that feel like? It would feel like loving and accepting who you are, being fully present in your feelings, alive to your desires, inspired by the pursuit of your dreams, and joyfully engaging with others, without letting in judgments, blame, or other thought patterns that might violate your inner sanctity. Your True Self embraces four modes of interaction: Love, Respect, Compassion and Appreciation. It is your birthright to live in your True Self. Thankfully, there are some extraordinarily effective psychotherapy techniques that can help you get there.

Let Yourself Go: How to Release Stress in 45 Minutes With Oxygen Therapy

http://thenaturalguide.com - What if, in just 45 minutes, you could let go of all the stress that's stored in your body? Well, you can: by increasing your oxygen level. With hyperbaric chamber therapy, you lie comfortably inside a soft vinyl chamber, while oxygenated air pours into the chamber. Oxygen fills your 75-trillion cells, your muscles, and every inch of your brain and organs. The result? Tensions and pains release, a stream of energy lifts you into comfort and ease, and you feel mentally sharp, physically strong and rejuvenated. If stress reduction is something you're looking for, give mild-pressure hyperbaric therapy a try.

Where Emotional Issues Come From and What to Do About Them

http://thenaturalguide.com - From time to time, we all suffer a level of emotional distress that requires professional help to resolve. Why is this? Well, primarily because our minds are divided. They're actually like a mosaic of different points of view. And this mosaic can present conflicting feelings and agendas, which leads to emotional distress.

For example, did you ever feel conflicted over whether to eat a piece of chocolate cake? How did this mosaic come about? You see, as we move from childhood to adulthood, we develop a legion of different parts of self, each of which has its own view of what it must think or do in order to get the love it needs to survive. The extent to which each of these parts is able to accept new points of view depends upon the extent that they were deprived of their needs in the past. While most psychotherapies ignore these individual parts of mind, and consequently have limited success, certain psychotherapy models achieve greater results by resolving the conflicts between these inner states of mind.

One treatment approach in particular, the Developmental Needs-Meeting Strategy, is revolutionary. It systematically brings parts of self that are stuck in the past into alignment with your present, mature state of mind. Unlike any other, the Developmental Needs-Meeting Process tends to bring about comprehensive and permanent healing of deep emotional conflicts. To learn more, please visit http://dnmsinstitute.com.

Get Happy: Increase Your Mood in Minutes With EFT

http://thenaturalguide.com - Could you use a boost in happiness? What if you could make yourself feel happier just by tapping on your body whenever you felt depressed? Happiness is possible with the help of an emotional release approach called EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique.

EFT is a method whereby you tap repeatedly on certain trigger points while making statements that affirm your self-worth. As you practice EFT, stored emotions discharge and are replaced with positive energy. For example, I can tap my collar bone and say, "Even though I believe there's something wrong with me, and I have these feelings of shame and sadness, I am beginning to love and accept myself deeply and completely." I would do that maybe 10 times, adding other statements and release points, until it feels true. So, to learn EFT, look for a practitioner near you at http://energypsych.org—you'll be happy you did.

Vegan and Vegetarian Protein Builds Muscle For Strength and Endurance

http://vegcoach.com - All vegetarians get asked, "Where do you get your protein?" It's a question that comes up because the meat and dairy industry has done an excellent job of suggesting that we must have animal protein to build muscle or be healthy. However, humans can get all their protein requirements from plants, since all plants have amino acid building blocks (in varying degrees) required to make protein. Many very large animals—elephants, giraffes, cows, etc.—get their protein from plants, so why can't humans? Well, of course they can. In this video Ellen Jaffe Jones discusses vegetarian protein and muscle building from her personal experience—as an accomplished athlete.

Install a Water Filter To Remove Fluoride, Chemicals, Metals and Pathogens

http://thenaturalguide.com - City tap water can have any number of contaminants in it, including chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, chemicals, and pathogens. Therefore, drinking tap water is not recommended unless it is filtered first with a high quality water filter, such as a reverse osmosis water filter. Dan Saltsburg, president of Big Brand Water Filter, shares with us what types of contaminants can be found in city tap water, and what kinds of water filters will remove those contaminants. For drinking water, installing a high quality water filter in your home will help ensure good health for your whole family. There are also whole house water filtration systems that can also improve health because showering and bathing in chlorine and other contaminants is greatly reduced; remember, whatever we put on our skin can be absorbed into our body.

Midwife Supervised Childbirth: Birth The Way Your Body Intended

http://thenaturalguide.com - Giving birth at home or in a birth center with a midwife can help ensure that the birth process is as natural and rewarding as possible. Many women opt for hospital birth because their insurance pays for it, but once in a hospital, they may be forced to deliver at the convenience of the doctors and not within the natural cycles of the birth process. Working with a midwife can be extremely helpful and ultimately more healthful for the baby, mom, and even the dad. Aleksandra Evanguelidi, a licensed midwife, shares her thoughts about pregnancy, birth and why expectant moms and parents should investigate all birthing options before deciding where to give birth.

CA Initiative: Label GMO Food (Genetically Modified Organisms) For Health

http://thenaturalguide.com - Simply put, GMO food should not be in our food supply. There is plenty of evidence now that GMO food can cause allergic reactions in some people, and animal studies show that genetically modified food will cause reproductive problems. We should have the right to know whether or not we are eating GMO food. Pamm Larry has launched a campaign in California to require labeling, which I fully support. The United States is one for the few countries that does not require GMO labeling—let's make California the progressive state it is and force GMO food manufacturers to label their products as such. You can help by going to http://labelgmos.org and then volunteering your time, or donating your money, to this worthy cause. Help make history: get GMO food labeled so that we can all avoid it. In the meantime, you can avoid GMO food by eating organic food.

Eat Organic Food To Improve Your Health and Save Money

http://thenaturalguide.com - Organic food is more nutritious, better tasting and safer for us than conventionally grown food.

Eat A Vegan Diet To Save Money On Food And Health Care Costs

http://vegcoach.com - Eating a plant-based diet will save on food costs and health care costs. Ellen Jaffe Jones, Author of "Eat Vegan On $4 A Day," shares how in this video: A half-cup serving of beans cooked from scratch costs about a dime. The same serving from a can of beans is about twice that much. The same size serving of the cheapest hamburger meat—which is 30% fat—costs fifty to sixty cents, or at least 5 times more than beans. When you look at more expensive cuts of meat, such as beef tenderloin at 85 cents an ounce and that equals $3.40 for 4 ounces or $6.80 for 8 ounces! And that is 34 times more expensive than beans! Another way to save money is by avoiding the hospital. Meat consumption causes cardiovascular disease. And a bypass surgery in the US can cost between $100,000-$200,000.

Breast Thermography Is Safe and Effective Radiation-Free Breast Cancer Screening

http://thenaturalguide.com - Liz Angeles of LA Thermography gives an excellent overview of how breast thermogrophy works using infrared technology to detect abnormal blood flow increases to potential tumors. Breast thermagrophy is safe, free of radiation, easy to administer, painless, accurate, and low cost. It's an excellent alternative to mammograms and mammography. Women of all ages can benefit from this breast exam technology and thereby find out sooner whether or not corrective actions need to be taken if there are abnormal findings.

Thermography can detect cancer 8-10 years earlier than conventional methods. Breast Thermography detects physiological abnormalities, whereas conventional methods (mammograms, ultrasounds, MRIs, etc.) detect anatomical abnormalities much later.

Chiropractors Find and Correct Nerve Interference In The Spine

http://thenaturalguide.com - Why get adjusted by a Chiropractor? To improve nerve signal flow! Watch Dr. Donald Trepany, a Los Angeles based Chiropractor, explain vertebral subluxation and what he does to correct it. He continues his explanation while adjusting a patent, and then we watch what the patient says about his Chiropractic treatment.

Chiropractic adjustments are manual adjustments to the vertebrae that bring them back into alignment so that nerve signal flow is optimized. Although the adjustment may look painful, in reality, most people feel a sense of relief once the vertebrae has been moved back into alignment. Since spines go out of alignment on a daily basis, getting regular Chiropractic adjustments is recommended.

Healthy Stir Fry Cooking: A Green Pan, Coconut Oil, Soy Sauce and Cumin

http://thenaturalguide.com/recipe.html - Healthy eating does not need to be bland! In this video I share how I make healthy and delicious stir-fries by using vegetables, coconut oil, Shoyu sauce, and a spice, such as cumin.

In this video:

1. Eat more whole foods and less processed foods.
2. Whole foods are in the produce section. I also recommend eating organic food (see http://thenaturalguide.com/organic-food.htm for more info).
3. Processed foods include breads, pastas, crackers, cookies, and most foods found in a box, can or in the freezer section, and of course, fast food.
4. An easy way to eat more whole foods is to eat stir-fries on a regular basis.
5. Use a pan with a nontoxic surface coating. Most pans have a surface that releases toxins into the food. Avoid those, and instead, buy a good pan with a nontoxic surface. Green Pan (http://green-pan.com - found at Target Stores) and Cuisinart (http://cuisinart.com - Green Gourmet) make nontoxic surface pans. Another option is to use a stainless steel pan. But never use an aluminum pan; those are not good at all.
6. Fry your food in a cold-processed oil, like coconut oil. Most oils sold in conventional grocery stores are chemically extracted or heat extracted, and therefore they are not good for you because they can cause trans fats, among other things. I discuss refined oils at length on my website: http://thenaturalguide.com/synthetic-food-refined.htm. Coconut oil is good for you; it tastes good, and does well in medium to high heat.
7. When you cook your veggies, start with dense foods first, and then add less dense foods. For example, cook potatoes first, then add broccoli, and then add leafy greens. Brown everything ever so slightly. Use your imagination and try different veggies each time. You can also start with Tempeh or Tofu, and I show you how in my recipe videos (http://thenaturalguide.com/recipe.html).
8. Once all of the veggies have been slightly browned, add a little water (a few tablespoons) and then add Shoyu sauce (or Tamari sauce) to it, maybe a tablespoon or two. Shoyu is a type of soy sauce (learn more here: http://san-j.com/product_info.asp?id=5) and helps to blend all the flavors together. Stir and mix the veggies.
9. Immediately add a spice to your stir-fry, like Cumin, or Mexican Spice Seasoning (http://frontiercoop.com/products.php?ct=spicesaz&cn=Mexican%20Seasoning). Stir for another moment and then taste. Add more Shoyu sauce or spice for proper flavoring, and then serve.
10. I also like to add flax oil to my stir-fries for added flavor, and the health benefits. You can learn more about flax oil at http://thenaturalguide.com/supplements.htm.

Sore Throat? Flu? Sick? Try Natural Remedies For A Fast Recovery

http://thenaturalguide.com - Last week I had a sore throat and in this video I share which natural remedies I took that helped me recover in one day. Natural remedies work by giving the body the nutrition and energy it needs to build the immune system to fight off pathogenic microorganisms, like viruses and bacteria. We really don't need to be injected with poison - a flu shot - if we understand that the body is perfectly capable of overcoming pathogens—when given the right natural remedies and nutrition. On a preventative note, it certainly helps to eat well (minimize processed foods, maximize whole, plant foods), take potent supplements, drink lots of filtered water, exercise, and get plenty of sleep every day. Truly, living a more natural lifestyle will minimize sickness, and disease, and then using natural remedies for the occasional sore throat, cold or flu will help the body recover quite quickly. The remedies I discuss are:

Moisturize Your Skin With Plantlife All Natural Aromatherapy Herbal Soap

http://plantlife.net - Discover luxury with an all natural soap made from organic botanicals, pure essential oils and nothing artificial. Plantlife Natural Body Care uses a "cold process" manufacturing method. This means that they don't add heat or chemicals during the manufacturing process, and that produces two unique qualities. First, the soap retains the medicinal value of the added essential oils, and this is why they emit such a powerful and delightful fragrance. Second, although glycerin is usually an unused by-product of the soap making process, Plantlife does not remove the glycerin because it promotes retention of moisture. And that makes Plantlife soap gentle enough for even the driest and most sensitive of skin.

Plantlife soap comes in a wide variety of scents, from earthy, to flowery, to everything in between. With over two dozen types to choose from, you're sure to find several in the Plantlife collection that you'll fall in love with!

Our Modern Social Order Is Hazardous to Your Life - Dr. Terry Preston, Ph.D.

http://drterrypreston.com (Video by Larry Cook) How the Hierarchy Takes Our Knowledge of Our Own Power: You think you have instincts. Think Again! A mouse in the field has more instincts than you do. Contrary to what is commonly taught, human beings don't have instincts. Human beings learn everything, and this is how we adapt. You have the same potential for power to learn as everyone else. A hierarchy, which is our social order, limits and controls each of our senses of individual power. A hierarchy uses the tools of fear, the deficiency model and substitution of control for power. Here is the reality, power lies in choice. Human beings have infinite choices and, thus, infinite power.

The Intent To Keep Us 2 Years Old Emotionally - Dr. Terry Preston, Ph.D. & Dr. Cathie Lippman, M.D.

http://drterrypreston.com (Video by Larry Cook) Thwart the Plan; Grow Up: What our social order, a hierarchy, teaches us is a lie. The lie is that some people have greater potential for power than other people. The truth is that every person has the same potential for power as every other person. People sense they have more power than they are taught. Our sense of power comes from our emotions. The first function of emotions is to give information. The second function of emotions is to manage energy. Under the hierarchy, we remain 2 years old emotionally. A 2-year-old brain thinks "either"-"or." We suppress the awareness of our emotions, not the emotions themselves. By learning about and managing emotions, we mature. By maturing, we grow into the knowledge of our own individual power.

Mom Refuses Ritalin and Heals Her ADHD Autism Kids With Natural Medicine

http://thenaturalguide.com - (Video by Larry Cook) Deborah Merlin raised prematurely born twin sons diagnosed with a host of medical problems and neurological challenges. She refused to put her children on Ritalin or other stimulant medications while at the same time the other conventional medicine treatments and therapies she tried resulted in multiple failures. After seven years of determined research she finally found success with dietary change, supplements and natural medicine therapies prescribed by an integrative medical doctor. Her integrative medical doctor ordered an amino acid panel and found that one of her sons was deficient in several amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of neurotransmitters in the brain. Shortly after her son started on the amino acid supplements, his facial tics stopped, his violent behavior went away, his seizures disappeared, he became happier, and remarkably, he went from failing in school to getting A's and B's in school. Watch the video to hear the whole story, and then order her book, "VICTORY OVER ADHD: a holistic approach for helping children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" from http://amazon.com or her website http://victoryoveradhd.com.
