1. Take All One Powdered Multiple Vitamins & Mineral Dietary Supplement daily. Manufactured here in Santa Barbara by Nutritech , this product contains a composite of 50+ vitamins, amino acids, and minerals in the proper ratio. You will need to take them for 6 weeks to see the maximal benefit. It’s available at Lazy Acres and costs about $30 for a month supply.
2. Order OmegaBrite Gel Caps from http://www.omegabrite.com ($25). Take 1-2 grains of omega-3 fatty acid (EPA plus DHA) daily. This promotes a healthy nervous system. Phone orders: (800) 383-2030
3. Take your basal temperature and pulse twice daily on the form provided. I recommend you buy a Digital Thermometer from Longs Drugs or equivalent. It costs about $6.50. Subclinical hypothyroidism is often overlooked and thyroid supplementation (natural or prescribed), if needed, can make a dramatic difference in your speed of progress. You can read more on this at http://www.nutri-meds.com/bookstore/thyroid_books.htm
4. Order the home skin temperature trainer:
Stress Thermometer™ [Computer] Program] - SC945 from http://www.cliving.org/prod01BF.htm . It costs $60 for the kit. If you are on a budget, order the SC911 model for $20 and ask me for one of the $10 relaxation tapes I stock at my office. Phone orders: (800) 5-STRESS. Use it daily and your brain will catch on to neurofeedback faster.
5. Reduce sugar intake. This is difficult for most people, as sugar is very addictive. Your brain has to work harder when you have a high intake of sugar.
6. Perhaps as difficult to reduce or eliminate is consuming Aspartame , also known as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. This artificial sweetener is, unfortunately, a neurotoxin, and many people have adverse brain reactions to it. Another neurotoxin to reduce or eliminate is monosodium glutamate (MSG), which unfortunately is added to most processed foods, especially ones labeled as low fat.
7. Buy, read, and follow: “The Anti-Aging Plan: Strategies and Recipes for Extending Your Healthy Years” by Roy L. Walford and Lisa Walford ($11). Based on decades of research, this eating plan will help keep your brain well nourished.
