Ok, I have Bipolar Disorder, OCD, Depression & ADHD. My question is, does anyone know any natural remedies for these? Because currently I take 4 medications in all. So, I have been taking these medications since 2004. So, I am getting pretty tired of taking them. So, does anyone know any natural ways to replace the medications?

First, I'd like to know what meds you have been taking since 2004. What are the names of them and in your honest opinion, have they helped you any?
It's not wise to just up and discontinue psych meds. Why? because your chemistry has adjusted to them. Even though you may feel better, stopping the meds without a process under a doctors supervision can cause you to become imbalanced - which could lead to a relapse of your illnesses.
Natural remedies for those type of disorders are not always proven effective for everyone. Talk to your doctor, maybe he will agree to ween you off some of your medication. Also, some natural substances should not be taken if you are on psych meds..so be careful and read the labels before you take any supplement.

Sarcoma is a very rare cancer. It is even rarer for it to occur in the lungs. Is it a primary tumor in her lung? Is there more than 1? What stage is it? How big? Is there vasculature? Is it going to be surgically removed? There are so many factors to consider here that only her immediate health care providers would be qualified to assess. First of all, there is no cure for cancer, natural or otherwise. There are treatments, some of which work for some, some of which work for others. My recommendation to you is for your mother to get as much information as possible. She needs to have a good talk with her oncologist, and maybe get a second or third opinion from other oncologists, if she is so inclined. If she is determined to only take natural agents, she might want to see a Naturopath that specializes in oncology. Ideally, there should be open communication between your oncologist and naturopath. My naturopathic oncologist is very clear with her patients about the odds and lets people know when chemo or radiation is the best option, and she often recommends treatments as complementary to conventional treatment. She often discusses her patients with their oncologist and together come up with the best protocol to present to the patient. Be wary of anyone that promises a 'cure' from any healing modality. There are no guarantees, from any sort of treatment, natural or otherwise. Just odds and probabilities and some degree of gambling and luck. Let's say she is pressured into having chemo, though in her gut she was set against it. So, she goes through it, suffers and dies feeling angry and resentful over being pressured into doing something she didn't really want to do. Not good. Let's say on the other hand she uses only natural therapies and dies thinking she made a mistake and should have had the chemo. Not good either. There are so many different scenarios one could play out. I know because I have gone through them all in my mind over and over again. Whatever decision she makes, she needs to be at peace with it, having looked at all the options and gathered all the relevant information from her health care providers. I don't mean to sound negative in all this, but while it is essential to be hopeful and optimistic (since millions of people do survive cancer) one also needs to explore the other possibility. That is all I can recommend at this time. Good luck and good health to you and your mom!

I have used these method to cure my depression a few years ago. Take tyrosine (a component of amino acid). Stop taking those anti-depression pills as these pills dulls your thinking, putting you in a semi-sleeping state : no thinking, no depession; doctor's solution. Get a lot of sun. Do alot of anti-gravity exercise (jogging) to sweat it out and pump oxygen into your depressed brain. Lastly meditate using the buddhist method. Drop me a message if you need more help.

Don't know about natural. I have been on 4 medications way longer than that. My friend says "If it helps don't complain". I guess I have to say hes right

these disorders are anxiety related. i would be careful about taking so many meds. they are just as bad in the long run as being off because they cause SERIOUS crippling side effects.
i am off meds for good. i stick to vitamins and minerals supplements occasionaly and learning to cope with my anxiety disorders (ocd, depression, gad) because i know i can naturally control them with my own mind. so can you but it is a choice and everyday battle until you find your way out.
take care
