The Great Flu Story

Flu

    In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor who visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu.  Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

    The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy.  When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).  The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope.  She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion.  It obviously absorbed the virus, therefore, keeping the family healthy.  

    Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser in AZ.  She said that several years ago many of her employees were coming down with the flu and so were many of her customers.  The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop.  To her surprise, none of her staff got sick.  It must work..  (And no, she is not in the onion business).
 
    The moral of the story is, buy some onions and place them in bowls around your home.  If you work at a desk, place one or two in your office or under your desk or even on top somewhere.  Try it and see what happens.   We did it last year and we never got the flu.
 
      If this helps you and your loved ones from getting sick, all the better.  If you do get the flu, it just might be a mild case.

Resource Guide of Bipolar Toolkit

Resource Guide Bipolar disorder books:
There are many excellent choices available so I will just list some faves. The first is highly technical, but is the most comprehensive and authoritative textbook available (read this and you will know more than your doctor), and the second is deliberately designed for “easy reading” but has terrific content:
1. Frederick K. Goodwin and Kay Redfield Jamison, Manic-Depressive Illness: Bipolar Disorders and Recurrent Depression, 2nd ed, Oxford University Press, 2007.
2. Candida Fink, MD and Joe Kraynak, Bipolar Disorder for Dummies, 2005
In February 2009, the medical journal Psychiatric Services published findings showing that bipolar disorder can DOUBLE your risk of early death from a range of medical conditions - including those that can be controlled through diet and exercise. This information resulted in the book, The Bipolar Diet.
Recommended websites:
There are so many websites springing up about bipolar disorder that it is easy to waste time, and hard to know who to really trust. My fave sites are:
1. NIMH (National Institute of Mental health): Bipolar Disorder
2. The Black Dog Institute: An Australian educational, research and clinical facility offering specialist expertise in mood disorders.
3. bp Magazine : an excellent quarterly magazine about bipolar disorder which also comes in an online version and has a great online forum.
4. About.com: Bipolar Disorder

Conclusion of Bipolar Toolkit

Conclusion
Have you noticed how each of these 3 tools builds on the one before it?
Use all 3 in the sequence they have been presented for maximum results. For example:
1. Start mood charting immediately. If it seems like too much trouble, choose the simplest chart. Then start including more details as you become more familiar with the technique and the habit becomes ingrained as part of your daily routine.
2. Review your mood charts with your spouse, psychiatrist or other trusted supporter. Start identifying any patterns and developing insight into your own personal stressors, triggers and early warning signs.
3. Use this information as input into your Wellness Plan and document your unique, individual list of triggers, early warnings signs, and “stay well strategies”, taking into account both mania and depression.
4. This same information about your stressors, triggers, and warning signs can be used as input for your Treatment Contract.
5. Your Treatment Contract requires additional information about your signs of wellness, more serious symptoms, and more extreme strategies that may need to be used if a serious episode of mania or depression develops. (Even with the best Wellness Plan, you still need to prepare for this possibility, even though your Wellness Plan can be so powerful in helping to prevent episodes from escalating.)
6. Gather this extra information through your mood charting and through open discussions with your medical team and loved ones.
