Rescue Remedy on Dr Oz
Rescue Remedy was just featured on the Dr Oz show as one his Favorites! Please note, the correct dose of Rescue is 4 drops or 2 sprays (not 4 sprays).

Remember, if you feel stressed over and over and keep using Rescue, you probably should look at the single remedies in the Bach system to address the underlying causes of your stress. What triggers you to get stressed? Tale the Bach Quiz.

Antidepressants....More Harm Than Good?
A new article by PhysOrg (http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-04-evidence-anti-depressants-good.html) shows that antidepressants may be doing more harm than good. Researchers found that since serotonin is involved in so many bodily functions, SSRI drugs, which increase serotonin levels in the brain, are actually putting many normal bodily functions out of balance. In fact, only 5% of the body's serotonin is found in the brain; 90% of the body's serotonin is NOT in the brain, but in the gut itself. Serotonin performs a vital role in many bodily functions. The researchers conclude that 'benefits of antidepressants are generally outweighed by their costs'.
The study also brings to light other previous studies and commentary on the efficacy of SSRI's, including a statement on the TV show 60 Minutes, made by a US FDA representative that the symptom reducing effect of antidepressants relative to placebo is “rather small” (Bonin, 2012).
The research study itself may be found at Frontiers in Evolutionary Psychology: http://www.frontiersin.org/Evolutionary_Psychology/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00117/full
For those of us working with complementary healing modalities, including the Bach flower remedies, this study further proves that, as Dr Edward Bach stated, we should 'treat the person, not the disease.' Humans are so more than a mechanistic compilation of chemicals and parts. We are spirits dwelling in physical bodies. The true disharmony lies in the conflict between the personality and the Soul, which often manifests under the term 'stress'. The answer lies not in a batch of chemicals, but in the restoration of balance, which allows the inner divinity of each individual to shine through.

This is a very important time! Just as I posted this video, we received another solar flare, an X.5 flare, which is quite large. This latest flare will reach us right at the time of the full moon in Pisces. Please take time to transmute this energy by linking up with others in prayer from your own home. For more info, watch this video and visit www.webofgood.com
