I was taking the GNC multi-oil supplement, . . . → Read More: Sleep Reduction with Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids

My life just 8 years ago was a muddled mess of barely started projects, partially completed articles and late appointments.

I thought he meant it as a joke, but he did not smile or laugh. “It is true”, he emphasized in a solemn voice, “they . . . → Read More: Difficult parents of children with autism

My journey towards a positive life attitude

It is not a coincidence that many people with Asperger’s or high functioning autism are constantly unhappy, anxious and depressed. Nothing seems to work in their lives, no matter how hard they try.

Even after I have switched to a more positive outlook in life, I still felt extremely tired after 6pm in the evening, especially during work days. This has precluded me from the option of studying part-time for night classes.

I sometimes wonder with some envy, how some of my colleagues (and classmates) manage to . . . → Read More: Chronic Fatigue & Low Blood Pressure

Although I managed to restore my blood pressure to normal using by taking extra salt, I still experience sporadic tiredness throughout the day especially around afternoon time. Now believing that I have a biomedical problem, I continued to search for new options.

Do you know that the intestines of newborns are sterile?
