Alternative Medicine - August 2007

I couldn't help but laugh when I first saw them advertised on TV. It sounded so ridiculous. Yet, many people think they're a phenomenal cure-all for all sorts of ailments. Then, some say they're just a huge scam, and can even be harmful. (http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/gastro.html has an article about this) Still, the promise of weight loss and extra energy is always tempting. Has anyone here ever tried one? What kind of results did you have, was it what you expected? How much did you pay? TY for any info.

IFrom one year and a half I hade an accident after that I felt so scared that it might happen to me again so I went to see a doctor and he prescribed me Xanax 0.25 but I just take it when I need it and just half the pill. I know it's nothing but it helps me in 40% and I can handle the rest. My question is can I take xanax 0.25 before my flight if I felt nervous. Of course this time it won’t be half the pill because my flight is 7hr.

I was wondering if anybody knew of a good otc product for anxiety? I have been researching the internet as well as past questions on here and have come up w/either St. John's Wort or Valerian Root. The problem is, the research I have done on St John's is it is used more so for depression, which I do not have, and Valerian Root is used for insomnia, which I also don't have. I just have anxiety and get bad nerves. So I am worried if I take Valerian in the mornings, it is going to put me to sleep or make me tired, when really I just don't want to feel anxious. Does anyone have any experience with either? I have never taken, so I could be completely wrong? Or if not, do you know of any different otc medications that are just for anxiety? Thank you in advance!

I used to think that it's good but I just came to know that it has 33g of sugar in a serving that gives 200 calories. Isn't that too much sugar espicially that I think it's considered refined carbs... What do you think?

Has anyone had any results with using ibogaine for treating depression? For those that don't know, ibogaine comes from the iboga plant and is illegal in the US (but not in Canada, Mexico, and many European countries). It is also used for curing heroin/opiate addiction/withdrawal symptoms. The fact that it is illegal in the US does not mean that it does not have legitimate medical uses.

I've read that it can stop the body from absorbing iron due to the tannins in the herb. Anyone know more on this? Does it stop any others, and to what extent? I am a vegetarian, and especially concerned about getting proper nutrients. Thanks!
