To better understand how it works and how you can benefit from it, read further below.

What is Hypnotherapy?

To understand how hypnotherapy works, you must first define what hypnosis is. The term is derived from a Greek word “hypnos”, which literally means “sleep”. It involves an instructor who will induce the patient into a sleep state such that they can enter a form of trance wherein they will provide truthful answer to questions asked during each session. The idea behind the use of hypnosis is to extract the true feelings and thoughts of a person, which is not often the case during interrogation.

Hypnotherapists are therefore the instructors who precede over this therapy session. Over time, there has been numerous hypnosis techniques that has been developed to elicit a more effective result using this kind of therapy. This has led to be used as a stress management technique knowing how stress has been determined to be caused by a combination of factors and often takes place in the mind.

Benefits of Hypnosis vs Stress

How is hypnosis useful in dealing with stress? This particular therapy enables the person to talk about the cause of their stress, confront it, address its root, and be able to overcome the problem. All of these are not often possible without entering the hypnosis trance since people tend to hold back information, or to deny the existence of stress in their lives.

The idea of bringing the real cause of stress and trauma onto the surface is believed to help find ways to reverse the symptoms. Hypnosis has been likened to meditation, although the former has drawn more curious attention ever since it was introduced. It also requires the specialized skill of an expert hypnotherapist that will facilitate in your entering into that mental state to ensure an effective therapy session. It has been known to be effective in curing not just stress, but also various conditions associated with stress namely phobias, post traumatic disorders, depression, dissociative disorders, habit changes, among other things.

Caution and Warning

As mentioned above, hypnotherapy requires a specialized set of skills to enable you to enter a trance mental state. Hence, your ability to benefit from this particular stress management technique relies a lot on your ability to tap the services of a truly qualified hypnotherapist.

When deciding which hypnotherapist to perform the therapy session on you, make sure to look into their expertise and seek proof of qualification. Aside from years of experience doing hypnosis, they must also have some good results to show off.

Tips Before Entering Hypnotherapy

If you have decided to use hypnotherapy for stress management, here are some tips to consider to help you get started:

• Always conduct a research on hypnotherapy if you are contemplating to use this technique. This will give you a broader idea on what to expect.

• Make sure to check the cost for each therapy session to ensure that you can afford it.

• Aside from the method itself, make sure to conduct a thorough research on the background for each hypnotherapist you decide to hire. After all, you are going to use them as a medium to take back what is rightfully years, which is your peace of mind.

Recently Lindsay Lohan has been instructed to attend psychotherapy session because of abusing substances. It is important to keep several things in mind while choosing such a program because choosing the wrong program or therapist will not only result in loss of money and time, it could also aggravate your problem. You do not have to be in a bad fix like Lindsay Lohan who was struggling with a substance abuse problem to visit a therapist. You may opt for psychotherapy if you simply feel that you could improve your life by learning how to manage your time, emotions, and your relationships.

One of the things that we forget over the years is that we should constantly be developing if we wish to lead a happy life.

One of things that psychotherapy enables you to do is improve your social life. By understanding yourself you will be able to understand what kind of a friend you are. This in turn will enable you to understand whether you are likable or not. Once you find out what draws people to you, you will be able create the relationships that will bring value to your life.

Often people forget that they ought to evolve to deserve the space that they want in the lives of the people around them. Irrespective of whether you are dating, a young mother, or a person who is finding it difficult to deal with a habit like smoking; attending a psychotherapy program will help you to identify the problem that is keeping you to feel as happy as you can be.

It actually enables people to find long term solutions because temporary fixes like drugs or simply feeling better for some time will not really change the quality of your life. Unless you come to terms with the issues that are really holding you back, you will not be able sort the issues.

It is a good idea to opt for a psychotherapy program that includes some group sessions. Unless you get to practice what you have learnt from the therapists in a controlled environment, you will never feel confident enough to practice these things in real life.

You must not feel that you can’t afford psychotherapy because some of the better therapists are often willing to charge less than their usually fees for people who cannot otherwise afford therapy. It would be good idea to contact TriBeCa Therapy for holistic solutions for life problems.

It is surprising how tolerant some parents are about the side effects of medicines for ADHD and also about their long term effects. That is why they never even consider non medicinal treatment of ADHD. It seems that they can turn a blind eye to many kids who are not sleeping properly, having emotional weakness like crying, tics and of course, the worst one of all, a reduced appetite. They seem quite happy with the band aid effect in that their kids are now quieter, calmer, less reckless on the street and in the home and can now do their homework without it taking all day and all night.

But I know many parents who take a much more intelligent approach. First they know all too well that non medicinal treatment of ADHD can get the same results and that there are no side effects. This is true of homeopathic remedies, for instance. There are no black box warnings at all and they can sleep peacefully knowing that there are no long term health hazards.

They can also sleep peacefully because they know that no teenagers will approach their children to sell them their meds. Some of the drugs like Adderall XR are popular recreational drugs and are also used illegally as study aids. They help college kids to study all night so that they can do last minute studying for their exams. They can also have better attention spans and get better results.

But non medicinal treatment of ADHD is often regarded as another name for therapy and is often thought of an extra or as an alternative to medication. In fact it must go hand in hand with any medical on non medical treatment. If we can get the child to be calmer, less hyperactive, and fidget less by using medicine of whatever type, that is quite an achievement.

The next step is often forgotten because parents do not realize that the application of parenting skills or behavior modification in their family unit is often going to be the foundation of the ADHD treatment plan. Without that, the effects of whatever pills or drops we are using will just fade away with time and the foundations of poor parenting will crumble. That is why parents often feel guilty or frustrated that ADHD cannot be successfully treated. But it can!

Now that we know that non medicinal treatment of ADHD is just one part of the jigsaw puzzle, why not find out what the others are by visiting my website. Thanks for reading this far!

One of the things one tends to do when in another city is use public transport. And so it was that I was waiting for a train at Sydney Town Hall Station when the billboard caught my eye.”7 out of 10 Australians will suffer a mental health illness” was the headline. Below the headline was a diverse looking group of people with thought bubbles above their heads.

Amongst the thought bubbles were things like, I am stressed at work, I am grieving for my mother who died, I have mortgage stress and I feel anxious at times. The billboard was promoting a charity, which amongst other things provides support for people with “mental health problems”.

There is an increasing tendency for a variety of medical groups, patient support groups and charities to make problems look bigger than they are so that they can get attention or raise money. To do so however, they reclassify normal parts of human emotion as an illness to boos the numbers and create a sense of crisis. In turn those who create the crisis stand ready to solve it with donations from the public.

If it is not a mental health illness to feel happy when you win a lottery why is it an illness to feel sad when a loved one dies. If it is not an illness to feel nervous before performing on a stage, why is it an illness to feel anxious sometimes? Stress in relation to work or finance is a normal response depending on the circumstances and is not an illness.

In a similar vein eating disorder “experts” are warning that anorexia nervosa is more prevalent than being reported. Part of the basis for this is that ninety per cent of teenage girls have allegedly been on a diet. The experts warned of an “alarming” number of young people developing eating disorders as they battle obesity.

Being on a diet is not the same as anorexia and people “battling” obesity are unlikely candidates for anorexia which in fact has nothing to do with food and is all about control issues. However “alarming numbers” and “experts” makes for great headlines, as did the claim that one in 10 women will develop an eating disorder.

One question though. How did they define eating disorder? Depending on the definition you could widen it to nine or even ten out of ten women.

Meanwhile it has been shown that Australians are being prescribed antidepressant medication for reasons other than those for which the drugs have marketing approval. This is particularly the case in the elderly. In the USA increasing prescribing rates for antidepressants over the last decade has not improved the overall mental health of the populace.

So here is the problem. Feeling stressed or down or a bit anxious is not the same as a mental illness. Conditions like anxiety and depression represent one end of a spectrum of human emotion and behavior. Labeling every emotion as a disease is good for sales of medications, for groups seeking to raise funds and for academics pushing research agendas.It is not good for people. Reclassifying normal human emotion and experience as a disease portrays people as victims in need of the support offered by those raising the monies or selling the medication. As soon as you are not a victim you are in control of your own destiny and may not need the “support”.

None of this is to deny that some people have genuine mental health illness and need support and in some instances medication. It is to say that it is easy to reclassify human emotion and behavior as an illness and that doing so can be very profitable.

It was 06:30 pm and the sun had just set on the highway. I was driving back home from work on a busy day and was keeping the care at the speed limit of 100 KMPH. The audio CD program ‘Power of positive thinking’ by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was being lapped up. All seemed well, except for one fact – I was asleep at the wheel.

Next thing I know, I have banged into a Nissan Sunny in front, blown off my front right tire, lost control and veered off into the concrete divider, blown off my front left tire and slid across the road back on the shoulder right in front of a hard-braking truck who just missed me by inches. I sit in shock in the car watching the tailback in the rear-view mirror. That evening was a turning point in my life that taught me a valuable lesson. That is when I swore to myself, I am going to get enough sleep from now on.

The weeks leading up to that fateful day, I was experimenting with reduced sleep time to maximize productivity during the waking hours. A friend of mine advised me that all a human body needs is ‘One cycle’ of sleep, consisting of Alpha, Beta, Theta and Delta levels, during the night. Each such cycle can vary between 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes, from person to person. Have you not wondered why you are sometimes wide-awake in the middle of the night after around 4 hours of sleep?

Then you look at the clock and hit the bed again saying that it is too early to get up. That is because you just completed one full sleep-cycle. At the end of each cycle the brain comes back to consciousness and then goes back into unconsciousness for another cycle. So if you can time your alarm to match with the end of each cycle, through trial and error, then you can wake up quite painlessly early morning.

I was so inspired by this new information that I started to put it into action. But I overlooked three important points, which helped my friend pull off 4-hour nights. And those were:

1. He was a meditation expert, and used to meditate at least 1hour everyday, but I did not.
2. He used to take a powernap every afternoon for at least 20 minutes, but I did not.
3. He did not engage in any physical exercise, but I did.

As you can see, it was a disaster waiting to unfold in my case. Since then, I have gone back to my usual 6 hours of sleep. Experts say that you need between 6 to 8 hours of sleep everyday. Anything less or more than that is not good for health. So my advice to you is to find what works best for you, between 6 and 8 hours. A well-rested person always performs better and longer than one who is not. W. Clement Stone, founder of Combined Insurance, used to take naps whenever possible – in the train, in a bus, etc. He used to claim increased performance after a good rest. My advice to you is to manage your rest as well as your activity. Find what is your perfect blend and stick to it. Do not experiment with lack of sleep because it can cause serious damage. In my case, I almost lost my life!

How can I hurt myself? Let me count the ways. But first let me distinguish between hurting myself and abusing myself. Hurting myself – self-harm is a term commonly used for physically abusing oneself by cutting, self inflicting blows, pulling out hair (Trichotillomania) skin or nails, starving or food misuse, extreme piercing, or purposely burning ones’ self. Abusing myself – self-abuse covers the entire spectrum of self-destructive behavior, which includes emotional and psychological abuse and unconsciously or indirectly exposing oneself to physical harm via reckless or dangerous behavior. Addiction is viewed as a symptom rather than a cause of self-abuse, but many addictions (i.e. any kind of substance abuse, unsafe sex and even gambling) can become a reckless behavior that leads to physical harm.

When people act in ways that seem abusive to themselves, we shame them. We disparage them as weak, selfish, suicidal. Sometimes we even ostracize them. Thus we are further punishing those who are already punishing themselves. But what do we gain from that reaction? Does this stop the self-abusive behavior? Does it make the underlying issues that instigated the self-abuse disappear?

Self-abuse is an acting out of negative emotions – but it is not about wanting to die or about wanting to hurt others. It is about trying to cope, trying to live. Why do people act out in this manner? It’s because the self-abuse is a recreation of abusive situations from the past that shaped these people. The feeling of being abused is familiar and connotes a way of communicating, because the people who abused them originally were probably people that either loved and took care of them or were supposed to love and take care of them. Hence, self-abusive behavior now as an adult becomes a way of them taking care of themselves.

The betrayal (social, physical, emotional) of children by trusted adults has devastating consequences. And while childhood trauma contributes to the initiation of self-destructive behavior, the lack of secure attachments helps to maintain it. Here is a young woman’s account of why she abuses herself.

“It helps me cope and is a way for me to vent the self hate I was given by my abusers, which I now turn in onto myself. I want the outside to show how I feel on the inside, because I feel I deserve it; because life without abuse is so unfamiliar it’s terrifying; because if I don’t harm myself everyone will decide I’m OK and leave me alone and I am not OK.” (”Healing the Hurt Within”, 1999)

While self-mutilation is directly linked to childhood abuse – drug and alcohol abuse is more complex. There are those who use substances to self medicate an undetected or undiagnosed emotional disorder (i.e. Depression, Bipolar Disorder, ADD, etc). They self-abuse to relieve psychic pain – but not necessarily pain that arises from childhood abuse. And in families with a history of substance abuse, there is the genetic component – albeit many times a more complex one than susceptibility to addiction. There may be several generations of emotional disorder that led to the substance abuse – most likely Depression.

Let’s look at how self-abuse relieves the suffering. There is a cycle to this behavior, and in a way it is similar to the cycle of domestic abuse:

The person is plagued by memories of past traumatic events or intrusive, shameful and unacceptable thoughts. They are reacting to a negative or faulty self-belief (schema) that tells them that they are bad and worthless.

These feelings are trapped inside and build – just like steam in an engine.

The steam (rage) builds to a point where it has to find release – the person feels as if they will explode.

The person either self injures or turns toward an addictive/compulsive behavior that temporarily dissipates the rage. While the person is in this state they may or may not be conscious of how their behavior is controlling them. They may or may not “feel the pain”. If they self injure, they either disassociate from the feelings or may actually want to feel the pain in order to externalize and concretize the internal psychic pain that they continually experience. Once they have acted out, there is a sense of relief – almost an orgasmic sense of relief. It will not last.

How can people counteract this cycle? First they must understand and acknowledge it. They particularly need to look at the negative, faulty self-belief that tells them that they are worthless and prods them on. Where did this belief come from? Where is the evidence that it is true? Does holding on to this belief serve any purpose or does it just keep me down? Is it truly my belief or the way those around me made/make me feel? If you can reflect on it and slow yourself at this point; if you can come up with a counterargument to the one that has always led you down this path; then you can begin to take back control of your behavior.

The goal is to develop a new relationship with yourself and alternative methods for self-care. This is not an easy road. It may take time. But the first step is always a desire to change.

Did you know that just because you may feel down, sad or are going through a phase of mild depression, there may be no need at all to resort to anti depressants? Very often, the answer may simply be a matter of increasing our serotonin levels in the brain by other means. As serotonin is one of the brain chemicals mainly responsible for keeping us in a good mood, cheerful and confident, it should never be overlooked.

Serotonin and depression are obviously closely connected. But serotonin also plays an important role in sleep, appetite and sex drive. That is why the anti depressants, while often solving in part the problem of mood enhancement, start affecting our appetite and libido in strange ways. Many people find that they have solved part of the problem but have created others which are not so easy to fix. Of course medical advice should be sought but I just wanted to point out in this article that there are other ways of solving the problem of the blues.

Many people do not realize how the right foods can influence our mood positively because they are actually capable of increasing serotonin levels. As you can imagine, the benefits are enormous. We have a much healthier diet and we are in a better mood and the blues no longer dominate our thoughts.

I am sure you have heard of ‘comfort foods’. These are simple carbohydrates and they certainly do give us a quick mood boost. But this is not very healthy as these foods are fattening and they will NOT lead to steady levels of blood sugar and they may even cause mood swings. These foods such as white pasta, biscuits and white rice are a two edged sword.

Let us have a look at the complex carbohydrates such as brown rice, wholemeal bread, grains and cereals, nuts, legumes. These are much healthier and the great thing is that if they are combined with certain proteins containing tryptophan, then these will balance our serotonin levels and boost our mood and confidence.

Why is tryptophan so important in the complex question of serotonin and depression? The answer is that the tryptophan is a sort of precursor of the manufacture of serotonin and it works best by combining it with a few of the complex carbs I have mentioned above. Apparently if we eat lots of protein rich in tryptophan this is not sufficient. The tryptophan rich foods are turkey, cottage cheese, nuts, fish, cheese and eggs.

Did you know that if you are feeling down, you can also get a helping hand from some herbal remedies? But which herbs?. Fortunately I have done all the work for you and you can find out which one is the safest and most effective one in balancing your serotonin levels from my website below.

Stress symptoms will appear as our physiological responses to the environment that is not nice and not friendly. However, if the body is able to overcome stress by certain physiological adjustments, some adjustments will occur and symptoms of stress are fixed. But on the contrary, the possibility of danger that will happen is very high if the tension is not relieved and can not be overcome.

So, what are the symptoms of stress?

Every one of the children, adolescents, and adults, can be affected by stress (women can be affected two times higher than in males). When our body fails to cope, physiological adjustments did not work, and symptoms of stress will continue. Physical condition, physiological or psychological problems can occur in people affected. He can not possibly live a normal life.

Keep in mind that stress, if not addressed, can change our lives from good to bad, from bad to worse, even to the worst circumstances. If you’re under stress and stay at home, it will affect your relationship with your spouse and other family members. If you’re inside an educational institution, it will affect the study. If you’re at work, it will affect the quality of your work. So stressful, with all levels, must be addressed, so that we can live normally and productively.

How do you know that you’re stressed?

Stress has a long list of symptoms. The signs and symptoms of stress can be physical, physiological or psychological. Usually a combination of all kinds often occurs. Also the same weight may not occur in all people affected by stress.

The signs and symptoms of stress is a manifestation of functional adjustments that occur in the body. This varies depending on the type of stress whether it is acute, chronic or delayed stress. Functional changes are physiological changes that eventually became the signs and symptoms of physical stress. The changes are:

* The transfer of blood from less vital organs to the more important organs.
* Increased heart beat faster to supply blood.
* Improvement of blood pressure to supply blood as efficiently as possible.
* Increased respiratory rate to get more oxygen from the air.
* Improvement of glycogen in liver and muscle to get more glucose.
* The formation of glucose is more than a non-carbohydrate substance.

Changes in the functions mentioned above are real signs of stress from the symptoms of stress both physical and psychological stress.

What we know as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is not a neurological disorder per se, but rather a constellation of symptoms that point to underlying imbalances in the body and brain. Chronic neurological disorders are often related to problems in the gastrointestinal tract. As a matter of fact, there are a growing number of studies that support the link between leaky gut syndrome – the intestine’s inability to absorb nutrients – and childhood ADHD, even if the children do not exhibit any gastrointestinal symptoms!

Our gastrointestinal system is far more complex and unusual than we think it is. It is the only system other than the skin that comes into direct contact with the environment through the food we eat. It is also the only bodily system that has its own nervous system, also known as the enteric nervous system. The enteric nervous system is so sophisticated that scientists often call it the body’s “second brain”. It contains the same number of neurons as the spinal cord, and produces 95% of the body’s serotonin, the neurotransmitter that makes us feel happy. Aside from being host to the body’s second nervous system, the gastrointestinal system also supports 60% of our nervous system via a flourishing ecosystem of gut flora. There are literally hundreds of different kinds of healthy bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract, responsible for proper digestion and our overall good health.

Not all the bacteria in our gastrointestinal tract are good; there are also bad bacteria species to be found. A healthy gut usually keeps their population down to manageable numbers, but if a bacteria overgrowth happens, the bad bacteria ends up consuming nutrients and producing toxins. This causes the gut lining to become inflamed, preventing it from fulfilling its filtration and absorption function. Instead of keeping toxins out and absorbing important vitamins and minerals, it does the exact opposite: toxins get absorbed and vitamins are kept out. This is what occurs when a person has leaky gut syndrome, or a permeable intestine. If you remember, a deficiency in key vitamins and minerals and presence of toxins in the body are two of the leading triggers of ADHD. It is likely that these are caused by a leaky gut.

There are many symptoms that point to leaky gut syndrome and many of them are experienced by children with ADHD. Symptoms include abdominal pain, gluten intolerance, poor memory, chronic fatigue, food intolerances, and anxiety.

Because over half of the children with ADHD also have gastrointestinal problems, treating a leaky gut should be an important part of any ADHD treatment protocol. Repairing a leaky gut requires a specific procedure that can only be performed by a health practitioner trained in functional medicine, a naturopath, or a holistic chiropractor.

The procedure takes four steps:

1) Remove. The child’s diet is stripped of all foods that may be overburdening the gastrointestinal tract. This includes artificial food additives, gluten, wheat, caffeine, and other foods that lead to intolerances. Harmful bacteria are also neutralized using herbs.

2) Replace. The child is given digestive enzymes to ease food digestion.

3) Reinoculate. Healthy bacteria are added back (reinoculated) via probiotics and prebiotics, to restore balance in the gastrointestinal tract’s ecosystem.

4) Repair. The intestinal lining is repaired so it can resume its role as a filtration system.

Alzheimer’s is a degenerative disease that slowly destroys memory and cognitive ability over several years. It affects over 5 million older Americans, including over half of those over age eighty-five and is expected to affect 15 million by 2030. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, one out of eight baby boomers will develop this disease. It’s the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. according to the CDC National Center for Health Statistics.

Alzheimer’s disease currently costs the U.S. medical system three times as much as any other disease. “If left unchecked, Alzheimer’s disease will destroy the health care system and bankrupt Medicare and Medicaid,” says Sheldon Goldberg, former president of the Alzheimer’s Association. The same could be said for the spouses and families of those afflicted with Alzheimer’s, with nursing home costs averaging $70,000 a year.

There is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, which is why the most important step you can take is prevention. In the past few years, much has been learned about preventing Alzheimer’s and maintaining a sound mind and memory, even at an advanced age.

How to Get Alzheimer’s Disease

Scientists who’ve been researching the relationship between diet and Alzheimer’s have virtually all reached the same conclusion: If you want to get Alzheimer’s disease, eat lost of fat, red meat, cholesterol, sugar and white flour.

If not, eat lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes (beans), whole grains and omega-3 fats. These plant-based foots are high in anti-oxidants – substances that can boost your immune system and protect against free-radical damage. Reducing free-radical damage can slow or prevent most degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

Regular exercise is also proven to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. A five-year study published in the Archives of Neurology found that people with the highest activity levels were only half as likely to develop Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. The study concluded that the more we exercise, the healthier our brains remain as we age.

The Journal of the American Medical Association also published a series of studies confirming that regular exercise helps even folks in their 70’s and beyond stay mentally sharp. One of the studies found that older men who walked two miles a day had just half the rate of mental decline as men who walked under a quarter-mile a day.

Why does exercise work? It increases the flow of oxygen to the brain, which increases the number of capillaries, and boosts brain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin, which are essential to cognition.

Although eating antioxidant-rich foods is important, supplements can insure that you get adequate levels of critical antioxidants. Current medical research is finding that oxidative stress is an important factor in developing Alzheimer’s disease. Antioxidant supplements help block the oxidative process, and protect your brain, as well as your whole body. Here are a few antioxidants to consider adding to your personal “Alzheimer’s Prevention Plan.”

Blueberries

Researchers analyzing fruits and vegetables for antioxidant power found that blueberries were right at the top of the group, with one of the highest capacities to eliminate free radicals. A 2005 study also found that blueberries can improve memory and restore healthy neuronal function to older brains.

Grape Seed Extract

Grape seed extract has been found to block the formation of senile plaques. It’s one of the most potent antioxidants, with 20 times more free-radical fighting potency than vitamin E, and 50 times more than vitamin C.

Vitamin E

Studies have shown that vitamin E can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and slow the mental decline of those who’ve been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia. It also boosts memory and cognitive ability in those without Alzheimer’s.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine

Acetyl-L-Carnitine is an antioxidant that protects brain neurons from beta-amyloid plaques that damage brain tissue. It also helps produce the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This slows the progress of Alzheimer’s disease and can even help those in the later stages of the disease.

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

NAC increases glutathione levels in the body, which can help reduce oxidative stress and cognitive decline.

Aged Garlic (Kyolic garlic)

Aged garlic contains an abundance of antioxidants, which reduce inflammation. Studies have shown that garlic can protect neurons in the brain from beta-amyloid plaque damage.

Vinpocetine

Vinpocetine protects cells from free radicals in addition to increasing brain metabolism and blood circulation. Studies have also shown it’s ability to protect brain cells from beta-amyloid plaque damage.

Be sure to check with your health care provider to determine the suitability and dosage of any supplements.
