There's no way to know that what you're buying is what it says on the label, in many cases. Also, there's very little known about inter-drug reactivity with a lot of herbals.<br/><br/>Things like fish oil and vitamins that have been looked at with credible medical research and are marketed by reputable companies are usually ok. But again, it's something you SHOULD at least mention to a doctor or pharmacist because of the potential drug interactions..

Sometimes, doctors and people in general just look for an excuse to make or have a diagnosis, just to make their behavior more, acceptable somehow. That said, I do believe there are some cases in which drugs would work, or at least aid in the process of getting better...just as a little hard work and actual effort put in to the process would work too. Finding the right mix...whether it's hard work and determination, or hard work, determination and drugs is key. I guess when it comes right down to it, everyone's different and what works for one might not work for the other. I do however think, that things like mood disorders of all kinds, as well as ADHD are WAY overdiagnosed. I’m right there with you, Guy.

The kids have Mario Party 7 for the Game Cube and they love it. We were psyched to find out that they could use their Game Cube games on the Wii too. Made it well worth getting, if not for that fact alone. Sounds like a good idea, although I have to say, Scene It wasn’t too tough on us (especially Ryun who totally kicked ass).

Great fun for family game night. Not hard on the parental units to play either. Fun board game like game with lots of mini games to keep things fun. you should look into 2 more Wiimotes and a copy of Mario Party 8 for the Wii. Great fun for family game night.

I don’t know Sharon….’mood disorders’ covers a lot of territory from bi-polar or skitzo to depression.

I feel the answer lies somewhere in the middle. I think that often Dr's give drugs out when the might not "really" be needed, Because its A.easier, and B. Most people want a quick easy answer.<br/>I say try that Natural treatments but don't hesitate to go to a Dr if it doesn't seem to be working.

Anything else I would be hesitant to put complete faith inj because if it was proven, more docs would recommend ....you might say well the drug co are just trying to make $ but the people who manufacture herbs etc are making $ and there is o official testing or goverment oversite. I now someone who was completely halth and fit and is now seriously ill because of over doing it with the socalled natural remedies. So bottom line is don;t fool around with things not known and recommended by professional educated medical personnel. fish oil is a proven method of improvement of triglicerides and othre heart related matters and doctors recommend it.
