Be My Friend - www.myspace.com Gwen Olsen spent fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales rep working for such health care giants as Johnson & Johnson, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Abbott Laboratories. She enjoyed a successful, fast-paced career until several conscious-altering experiences began awakening her to the dangers lurking in every American medicine cabinet. Her most poignant lessons, however, came as both victim and survivor of life-threatening adverse drug reactions. After leaving pharmaceutical sales in 2000, Gwen worked in the natural foods industry first as an Account Manager for Nature’s Way, and then as a Regional Sales Manager for Gaia Herbs. She is currently a writer, speaker, and natural health consultant. In this video Gwen discusses anxiolytics (anti-anxiety medications). These medications are sometimes also called minor tranquilizers. These drugs include the benzodiazephines such as Valium, Xanax and Ativan. Buspar is also non-benzodiazephine anxiolytic. These drugs are highly addictive and people experience severe withdrawal symptoms when coming off of these drugs. Gwen specifically talks about her own Xanax addiction. She also discusses “rebound syndrome” and “discontinuation syndrome”, which are basically just withdrawal symptoms. www.gwenolsen.com www.youtube.com www.livevideo.com

www.Depression-Hero.com In this series on how to beat depression naturally without antidepressants, I answer the question of whether you can cure depression by eating chocolate. Chocolate is a great mood enhancer and contains stimulant that help you feel more alert and energized . For example, the Theobromine in chocolate leads to increased serotonin, an organic compound associated with decreased levels of depression, tension and fatigue. Chemicals that increase serotonin are also found in antidepressants, like Prozac, which are used to treat depression. The problem is that antidepressants have so many side effects that are often worse than the depression itself. Chocolate also contains phenylethylamine, a stimulant that is also released when you’re with your lover and which also puts you in a great mood. You can get these antidepressant qualities from eating good quality dark chocolate, not the milk chocolate that is filled with sugar and other unhealthy fillers. Although you may feel great for a moment, chocolate does not cure the root cause of depression. If you are depressed and you want a natural cure for depression that does not involve any antidepressants, you have to go deeper. I give you some depression self help homework in each video to help you cure depression if you do the homework honestly and persistently. You can do it.
