Manic Depression
by: Arthur Buchanan
So, What's the Difference?
Manic Depression is also known as Bipolar Illness.
Like depression, people with this disorder go through stages of depression, but Mania or Manic adds a cycle.
Mania is a very "up" mood, over elated, over happy. Too much of anything is no good, and because of these cycles, people experiencing Manic Depression visit the two extremes of depression and elation.
Sure, sounds great to be able to be really happy and energetic all the time. However, with the elated mood, the sufferer will often talk rapidly, and become disjointed.
There are three types of cycles that people may go through during mania. These are Rapid Cycle, Ultra-Rapid cycle and Ultradian cycles. All of these show how many episodes of mania the person goes through a year.
Rapid Cycles are most common, and this means 3 or 4 cycles of mania per year.
Ultra Rapid Cycles mean that the person goes through episodes that are shorter than a week, a bit more often.
Ultradian cyclers go through distinct, dramatic mood changes within a 24 hour block.
Manic Depression Symptoms:
-persistent sad, or empty mood
-feelings of hopelessness, or pessimism
-feelings of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness
-loss of interest in ordinary activities
-decreased energy, a felling of fatigue or of being "slowed down"
-difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
-restlessness or irritability
-sleep disturbances
-loss of appetite and weight, or weight gain
-chronic pain or other persistent bodily symptoms that are NOT cause by physical disease
-thought of death or suicide; suicide attempts
*If you or anyone you know experiences a large portion of these symptoms on a regular basis, you may need to talk to a professional.*

Should You Bake Your Own Bread?
Should You Bake Your Own Bread?
by: Beth Scott
Maybe you?ve never heard it before, but you really should be baking your own bread.
Why?
I think the number one reason everyone should bake their own bread is that it redeems you from years of bad health and medical bills.
How so?
HOMEMADE BREAD IS HEALTHIER
It is much healthier to bake your own bread instead of buying bread that contains chemical addatives, hydrogenated oils, unhealthy preservatives, and fattening sweeteners.
If you buy white bread you're also getting bread that is nutritionless, but don't be fooled, store bought whole wheat bread is just as bad for you.
A lot of times the whole wheat bread sold in stores isn't really made out of "whole meal" but is just white bread that is colored (using caramel) to make it appear like it's whole grain and healthy.
Store bought whole wheat bread also contains the same emulsifiers,...

Weight Loss and Fitness - Facts not Fiction
by: Martin Harshberger
The world of weight loss and fitness is certainly vast, and the American consumer can absolutely get lost in the thousands of easy effortless and ostly useless ads if not careful. With my books and research I want to clear the air about the various myths and false statements regarding our health and fitness that have clearly muddied the waters for many Americans.
What I want to stress in particular is that there is no magic answer, potion, or diet pill that is going to make everything better. The ad on TV where the pretty lady says "it's easy. you'll love it", is appealing to our need for instant gratification with no effort. We don't want to hear the facts so we continue to look for the instant solution. If there was a magic diet pill, or diet plan, over 60% of Americans wouldn't be overweight, in spite of spending over $35 billion annually on diet products.
