Bipolar Disorder, Manic Depressive Illness

I now know two people whose brilliance can be attributed to
manic depression.


I've met many people within the past year because my circles of
life have broadened. I've belonged to five or six dance groups,
I've expanded my influence and communication via the internet,
I've traveled within my own state a little bit more, and I've
held quite a few business meetings. During this time I've met
two people who have told me they have manic depression. It so
happens they are two of the most out-going, delightful people
in all my circles. So I have begun to educate myself on manic
depression and my two friends have helped me freely.

I have made a terrific discovery regarding the control of manic
depression.

My two friends have become users of Young Living Essential Oils
and supplements, and we all three have marvelous things to
report! I'm not claiming to be professionally knowledgeable
about this subject, but I AM claiming to have observed something
remarkable and noteworthy. I want to tell (and I do tell...)
everyone I know about it . I want the word to spread.


First a bit of background:

* One of my friends was *incarcerated* into a mental
institution at age 17. I'm not sure how long he was
institutionalized, but he's out and about now. He is in
his 50's and has had manic depression under control for a
decade. He says the key for him was getting his hormones
into good balance. He uses Prenolone Cream from Young
Living, a very basic hormone cream which provides the
building blocks for hormones in any person's body. (Each
person has different requirements, different hormones out
of balance, and the Prenolone Cream allows each person to
build what he needs at the time.)

* My other friend has quick cycling manic depressive moods.
During a 24 hour period, he may cycle down and up three to
five times, maybe even more. He has been using the Prenolone
Cream Plus (which has DHEA), Alkalime, (a mineral powder
which balances his pH each night), and Berry Young Juice, a
powerful blend of the highest known antioxidant juices with
the strongest anti-aging effects. In addition, he uses the
oils of Joy, Peace and Calming, Present Time, and Forgiveness,
and a strong antibiotic blend of Thieves and Oregano and
Frankincense and Thyme (his blood and organs have bacteria
and fungi, mold and yeast beasties).


My second friend is none other than my husband, whom I
practically idolize. I've gotten to know him pretty well...
and I've observed him closely. Believe me, I've made an
important discovery regarding the control of manic depression.

My husband, Dave, works in the woods with chainsaws and hand
tools and trucks. He must've been superhuman when he was a
younger man, because even now, in his mid-fifties, he's brawny.
When I was a new bride, I often saw Dave fade away in strength
and energy after working hard for two or three hours. His voice
would become mumbly and low, practically unintelligible and he
would get into a *zone* where he just worked on and on and on,
methodically and slowly. After a while, we purchased some
Berry Young Juice from Young Living. WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES OF
DRINKING ONE OUNCE, DAVE WAS UP AND OUT OF HIS ZONE, UP AND OUT
OF HIS MANIC DEPRESSIVE MOOD. That caught our attention...we
were amazed!

Then, after being married awhile, we took a trip to see our
various children. We drove about 3000 miles round trip and on
the return trip, ran out of Berry Young Juice. That was really
too bad, but it also proved to be a wonderful lesson: never
run out of your Berry Young Juice. By the time we got home,
Dave was going down into his zone. He went to bed and could
barely get up; in fact, he really didn't get up. He went to
his recliner, then later back to bed. He missed several days
of work.

Finally I got my head on straight and he openly asked for help...
I began using what essential oils I had on hand for him. I put
Joy over his heart, Peace and Calming under his nose and on the
bottoms of his feet, and Present Time on his head. And then I
changed my order for Berry Young Juice from 1 liter/month to 4
liters/month. We hope to never be without it again.


How we use Berry Young Juice.

Young Living Essential Oils, the company I'm affiliated with,
advises us to drink at least one ounce of Berry Young Juice
each morning, but also lets us know that three ounces are ideal.
Gary Young, the president of Young Living, says he takes his
juice before working out and exercising. The protein (carried
by the sugar in the berries), is immediately useful to the body
and so muscles are built on the spot. Gary is a body builder
and has placed 1st and 2nd in his class in the state of Utah.
He's very handsome and strong looking; he's nearing 60 years
old and has a full head of hair! I must also say that we three
mentioned in this article, being closely acquainted with the
attributes of manic depression... believe that Gary Young is
manic depressive. We haven't told him we think this, but we
are quite experienced and in definite agreement with each other.

Well, Dave started out using only one ounce of Berry Young Juice
per day. But he has more than one downward mood, in which he
can't be quite himself. So, now that we have 4 liters/month to
work with, Dave takes one or more ounces mixed with water, twice
a day (mid-morning and mid-afternoon). Each time we witness the
same remarkable results within 15 minutes. And sometimes, Dave
doesn't seem to fade as was normal; but we still give him the
regular drink.

He's responding very well in several different ways. I can say
this as his wife... He communicates with me more evenly, more
deeply, and more appreciatively. WOW! Surely that's good news
for many people. It truely seems to me that Berry Young Juice,
which is incredibly high on the ORAC antioxidant scale, has
begun to build Dave up. I believe his brain AND his thinking
processes are being enhanced health-wise and strength-wise.
(To read more about Berry Young Juice and its antioxidant
properties, refer to an article I wrote: Ningxia Wolfberry
is the Highest Antioxidant Food. I wrote this article before
I ever met Dave.)

The reason we buy four instead of three bottles of Berry Young
Juice per month, is because the company gives a discount in price
for the purchase of a 4 bottle pack. Instead of $40/liter, we
pay $35/liter, and I get to use the extra juice for myself. I
use it to help me fast once a week. One day each week, I drink
several glasses of fresh vegetable juice and two *doses* of
Berry Young Juice. It is making a marvelous difference in my
tummy area. Being a new wife, and wanting to impress my
favorite person, I have been eating too much of my own
impressive cooking. But now, I'll be slim again!

Some attributes of manic depression.

My two friends who are manic depressive, experience moods that go
from high to low, from euphoria to depression, from recklessness
to listlessness. They may have feelings of extreme optimism and
inflated self-esteem; or feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, or
hopelessness. Their speech may be incredibly fast or noticeably
slow and hard to understand. Their thoughts may race away in
fifteen different directions and allow them to plan and
accomplish superhuman projects, or they may spiral downward into
a space where they can't concentrate and are easily distracted.
They may be experiencing life in the fast lane unable to sleep
at all, or they may sleep all the time. Their lives are not
predictable except to know that they will have a high experience
and a low experience, on and on and on. Some people who are
manic depressive are incredibly high achievers. Others have
trouble managing their day to day affairs.


The following individuals have stated publicly that they are
bipolar/manic depressive:

* Robert Boorstin, writer, special assistant to President
Clinton
* Rosemary Clooney, singer
* Dick Cavett, writer, media personality
* Kitty Dukakis, former First Lady of Massachusetts
* Patty Duke (Anna Pearce), actor, writer
* Connie Francis, actor, musician
* Shecky Greene, comedian
* Bill Lichtenstein, producer (TV and radio)
* Kristy McNicols, actor
* Spike Mulligan, comic actor and writer
* Charley Pride, musician
* Axl Rose, musician
* John Strugnell, Biblical scholar, Harvard
* Ted Turner, entrepeneur, media giant (U.S.)
* Jonathon Winters, comedian, actor, writer, artist


What then shall we say...

We shall say that manic depression can be useful and beneficial
to a personality, but we shall also say that it needs to be
managed well. Brilliant accomplishements are wonderful, but
so is sleep. Naps are pleasureable, but so are relationships.
People with manic depression need to balance their moods and
their activities.

I'm happy to be able to tell you about Berry Young Juice and
the Prenolone Cream and certain essential oils which contain
high levels of sesquiterpenes (chemicals useful to the manic
depressive's forebrain, chemicals that aid the transport of
seratonin). Some of those essential oils are: Frankincense,
Sandalwood, Cedarwood, and the various blends mentioned above
that have Frankincense and Sandalwood in them.

I highly recommend these therapeutic essential oils and
supplements because of our own personal experience with them.

I've done my best now to tell you about Berry Young Juice, about
managing manic depression, and even about my own use of Berry
Young Juice. I hope you'll pass this information on to your
circle of friends and family. It's important to know about
these things and implement them.
