Alternative Medicine - November 2007

I was told that when the ALA's in flax oil convert, you lose about 80% of the benefits; thus, missing out on the possible absorbtion of DHA & EPA. I was also told that it is beneficial to take flax because of something in it that you can't get from fish oil. Any help in this area is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

They always seem to downplay anything natural. As if there is no way it could possibly work. They say there is no scientific evidence but yet they also say that certain products have not been evaluated by the FDA. So answer this: How do they know that there is no scientific evidence if the product has not been evaluated? And yet these harmful drugs are advertised on TV as if we have to take them or something! You cannot watch a football game without someone telling you how to enlarge you penis! "Take this for Herpies!" I don't have herpies! Then they say it doesn't cure herpies! well what does it do? "Side effects may include sudden death!"

I have been on medications for Bipolar Disorder for about 13 years now and the results have not been too wonderful. As a result of the Bipolar, I also suffer from extreme depression at times and extreme mood swings for a week or two leading up to my cycle. So really there is only about a week or two in the month where I feel able to deal with the world on a complete level. Mind you, I am not crazy. Before having my baby I was a professional in the medical field and have a very functional life. I am just looking for better ways of dealing with these problems. Please share your similar and success stories. Also, has anyone been on a non medicated regimen and how has it worked?

The Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Chiropractic practices are within the scope of Alternative Medicine. Logically, there's a school for such health practices like in Canada and it's very legal. There's even an "Alternative Medicine Research Institute Canada". So why the blame for "non-evidence"???
