"Organization is the key to success", print it out, write it down, do it

Drink Lots of Water between meals
Best: Evian, Fiji, Iceland
Next: Arrowhead, Sparklets, Dasani
Water provides pH Balance (soda, coffee, milk, or juice do not)

Fresh Vegetables (organic preffered) helps your pH, especially Cucumbers

Low pH (acidic foods) is associated and causes, health problems, weakness leading to disease, ill temper or acidic personality, and deterioration. It is a War Against Acidity. Only Water can ballance your pH (between meals). Baking Soda applied to your entire body when wet in the shower, let sit for a few miuntes, then rinse, will help restore your pH (thru skin absorbtion). And/or (better and), (not after eating) a half glass of water with a teaspoon of Baking Soda, stir for at least 90 seconds, not just time to disolve, but time to chemically react, then ingest (on an empty stomach). Reactions within 20 minutes, you will probably have a low belch, and need to urinate (to flush the bodies acids, to restore you pH). However, this can slightly constipate your digestive system, so don't over do it, nor too often, but its very very very healthy for you, to restore you pH, it works real good, and its cheap. See my article on pH (see HEALTH MENU link at top of page)/

B VITAMINS CURE DEPRESSION, KEEP YOU HAPPY, and COHERENT:
More detail: http://www.archure.net/salus/bhappy.html
B-6 cures depression (in 3 out of 4 hospitalized for depression), get 100 mg to 300 mg per day
B-12 also helps cure depression (and helps mental/physical coordination)
Get a 100 mg size of "B-COMPLEX", or "B-STRESS", or "B-100" (typical names)

TEMPER? ANGER? PEOPLE GET YOUR GOAT? (and they really try don't they?)

SEROTONIN: supplements of 5-HTP (newer version of "L-Tryptophan") AND St Johns Wort

Get BOTH (not just one or the other, BOTH 5-HTP ("L-Tryptophan") AND St Johns Wort

Lack of Serotonin often leads to anger and sometimes violent behavior
5-HTP ("L-Tryptophan") (neuro-transmitters) = SEROTONIN,
take monthly or more if needed, before bedtime (you'll be a pleasant sleepy head for a few days).

St Johns Wort regulates your serotonin, take 1000 mg DAILY as per Andrew Weil MD (it makes you pleasantly mellow). Weil say it takes around 6 months to really kick in

One university web site says 5-HTP is like the fule, and St Johns Wort is like the carburator.

CHOCOLATE & BANANAS & SOY products, contain Neuro-transmitters (for a happy feeling of well being), serve them at work and at parties, B Vitamins too (I bring them to work).

LACK OF SLEEP and/or LACK OF SEX = reasons for most mental problems
Get lots of sleep, and have sex on average of every 48 hours (24 hr min – 100 hr max)
(unless you have low libido (less sex), or high libido (more sex)
(35% of women and 16% of men have low libidos, that is natural for them & OK)

STABILITY (physical, mental, emotional):
LITHIUM, SODIUM, POTASSIUM, & HYDROGEN
Sources: Salt (sea salt), Baking Soda, Soda Crackers, Potassium: Bananas and Carrots (limited amount, no more than a pint, as carrots are acidic), lima beans (and very high pH reactive).
Gargle with Hydrogen Peroxide & water first, then quickly follow-up a re-rinse with baking soda and water to restore pH, brush your teeth with baking soda).

MELATONIN:
Melatonin (comes in sizes 5mg, 3mg, or less).
Enhances the mind, helps sleep, provides inspiration for artists, musicians, and writers (I take 10 mg before bed, the next morning I create music, etc).

Music background to this page Gamma and Alpha Waves which calms & relaxes people
More Detailed Info

MUSIC affects mental and physical health

ALPHA FREQUENCY 10 cycles per second, calms people down, and helps prevent seisures
quick load sound sample 10 hz (cps) brain wave speed with CALM MIND.

ASCENDING AUGMENTED TRIADS OR version II: sound odd, but resolve stress from sounds in ones enviornment.

TV MUSIC: often has stressful music (often to be scary, by traditionally using “Augmented 4ths” or “Diminished 5ths” (“Tri-tone”, called the “devils tone” hundreds of years ago, and was illegal, people were burned at the stake for the “devils tone”), so TURN YOUR CHANNEL to non-scary films/shows (when people watch scary music, they cringe in stiffness and stress. Relax, watch something else).

SAY POSITIVE THINGS:

If you say "I can't find my car keys" (then your conscious mind, which can only remember a few things at a time, is instructing your unconscious mind, (which remembers and stores everything, including where you last put your keys) to not find the keys

But if you instead say: “I will find my keys, and I will find them right away”, then your conscious mind instructs the unconscious memory to find your keys (after saying it several times, you may clear your thoughts, forget everything, and will quickly find your keys)

So if you say “I will have a nice day, and get along with everyone”, then you will
People who say: “I can’t do anything right”, can’t.
People who say: “I do everything right”, do.

Don’t oppress others, don’t hamper others, even if they are not consciously aware of your doing so, unconsciously they are aware of it, and will unconsciously react in revenge. COEXIST

Do not try to restrict peoples natural functions (“psychological Id”) natural functions such as drinking water (or liquid), eating food (go veg), having sex, using the restroom (if you gotta go, go, else psychological social problems), or the urge to transcend (allow a person physical and mental space: Physical Space 3 feet, or at least 18 inches in line, 4 feet for business relations). Don’t be a bully, don’t be bullied.

COEXIST

SMILE: "Smile and the world smiles with you", force your self to smile. A smile is body language, and means the same thing all over the world

Be aware that half the people would just rather run you over, while the other half of the population would give you the shirt off their back's

What goes around, comes around, do good things, be a vegetarian

Psychologist or Psychiatrist?
At any time you can consult a trained professional: "Psychologist" ("Psychiatrists" tend to be busy, spend less time helping, and tend to make people zombies with perscription medication (which contain small ammounts of vitamin B-6, which is available over the counter, any grocery store, any pharmacy), so that they legally must "observe you" regularly, and make more money, making and observing more zombies (there are good Psychiatrists too, but this is a trend in modern psychiatric medicine; while a "Psychologist" works with you, resolving issues. It's good to see a Psychologist for issues (internal or external), as well as preventative maintanance.

NUTRITION in a nutshell
Generally only Vegetables are high pH reactive, and the problems of the world, health, social, are all tied in with low pH problems.

GOOD FOODS: Salads (high pH), Cucumbers (high pH reactive), Limas (good pH, Potassium), Wheat Grass (high pH), Yams (hormones), Sweet potatoes (vit A), Carrots (vit A, and Potassium, but low pH, and also high glycemic (bad), use in moderation, 1 pint or around 7 carrots max), celery (high potassium to callorie ratio). Rice and Legumes (beans) both high in fiber and combine to a perfect protein, can be eaten on alternate days or together (warning, can cause gas, but this will soon pass). Soy: high pH, low glycemic (good), high protein, all the esential amino acids, and cheap to farm, more food per parcel of land than other sources. The future of the world, and population growth, is in the hands of soy (by mere economics, as well as nutritional standards. Soy is the future of the world. Avacado, Olive Oil, and Canola Oil are healthy fats.

Previous typo said cucumbers had potassium, error removed, but cucumbers are an Excellent Food as they (wheat grass also) are very high in pH reactivity, very very healthy to eat, good for you.

AVOID: Night Shade Plants (cause arthritis, aches, pains): regular potatoes (pink, white, russet), tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, bell peppers (but black and white pepper is OK), and avoid pepper based spices (except black/white pepper); as Night Shade plants all cause arthritis, aches and pains, and with peppers, add: temper issues, internal acidic burns (resulting in infection).

AVOID: Peanuts, Corn, Cauliflower, Brocholi, Brussel Sprouts, cabbage, as they all are potential damaging to the thyroid gland (some people more than others).

FATS: Most US Americans average 160 grams of fat per day (intake) while the Japanese get only 20 grams of fat per day (they are smaller people, so I aim for 60 grams of fat per day, of the good fats (avoid animal products, they contain the deadly Saturated Fats, both meat and dairy are full of saturated fats, and also are low pH reactive (dangerous, damageing). High Fat intake (especially Saturated Fats), is associated with a greater risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and other health problems (can be fatal). But you do need some fat (else you become constipated real quick), use the good fats, olive oil (extra virgin, bitter and better, you can get used to it in a week), and canola. Andrew Weil MD says "everyone asks me, where do you get your protein, but no one asks me, where do you get your fats?".

FIBER (or die): rice, beans, salads, cereals, dried fruits, there are 2 types of fibers (soluble and insolbule) you need both, so get a wide variety of fiber sources.

Avoid meat and dairy products, they hamper your pH, and cause aggression and low pH problems (a major issue which leads to other health problems, allows them to happen).

MENTAL HEALTH:

What are the 2 major reasons that most people who have Psychological Problems seek help?

Photo of author taken by his Mom at age 5 or 6 (Mom was formerly married to a Psychologist. Story Goes: in the interest of Humor, I had said something that might be considered funny, but my mother did not take it that way, and chased me, I escaping to the tree. She would not let me come down, untill I posed for her Funny photo, she tossing up assorted props, insisting I wear the party hat, and hold the penguin, etc. )
.
What are the 2 major reasons that most people who have Psychological Problems, seek help?
.
The initial symptoms may vary, but the 2 underlying causes that are eventually discovered to be causing a number of problems are......

1) LACK OF SLEEP
2) LACK OF SEX
.

SLEEP:
Getting 8 hours sleep is very important, or at least attempting to get 8 hours. If you find you can not sleep, Ben Franklin advises you air out your bed by pulling back the covers, open a window to get some fresh air (lock it back up of course), and then get back to sleep. Ben Franklin went so far as to have 2 beds, and if he had trouble sleeping in one, he would switch to the other.
.
If you are over 40, you may be lacking in "Melatonin", a hormone which the body makes on its own, but tends to make less of after the age of 40. One can get Melatonin in health food stores. Dosage sizes vary from 1 to 3 mg, it is highly advised that 1 mg (occasionally) will probably do the trick once you get used to it, as 3 mg or more is very strong and may make you sleepy even after waking up.
.
Allow yourself 9 hours of sleep if you can, thus giving yourself extra time to fall asleep. And an occasional 11 hour sleep is very good. Certainly one can get by on 5 hours sleep, but eventually it will take its toll. 4 hours sleep will keep your eyes rolling up in "suffering misery" the next day. You don't want to Suffer, you don't want Misery, get a good nights sleep.
.
SEX:
Everyone needs sex, I wont go into the details at this point (already have at SEX
http://www.archure.net/psychology/sex.html), but everyone needs regular sex, lest you suffer from sexual tension.
.
THE ID, THE EGO, AND THE SUPER EGO:
Sex is one of the Basic Bodily Functions that satisfy what Psychology refers to as The "ID" (pronounced ID as in "hid" or "lid" or "bid"). Basic functions that satisfy the desires of the ID are: body waste elimination (using the restroom), eating food and/or drinking water, and sex. Drinking water is very good, one should drink 8 glasses a day (it also cleans out your body, and it pH balances your body, drink distilled water, as Americas waters are polluted).
.
In addition to the ID, we have the EGO, which Psychology defines as: "Satisfying the ID, in a socially acceptable manner". We go to the restroom, not just anywhere. We have sex in private, not just anywhere. We use a serving spoon to put food on our plate, take it to the table, and eat it with utensils; we do not just grab food with our hands (in this culture, and even in other cultures there are rules regarding eating properly). Men just don't go grabbing beautiful women (else I would be grabbing all the time; Freud thinks that Sex is a major thing, and admittedly, I think of sex all the time). Most people develop a proper "Ego".
.
Beyond the Ego is the "Super Ego", which only a few develop (priests, volunteer workers, etc). A person with a developed Super Ego says "I already ate, and there is not enough to go around, you go ahead". (notice this is not a total sacrifice, as he/she has already eaten and is nourished). The Super Ego tends to be Socialistic. And it says in the Bible (cant find it now) that if there is something that is easy for you to do, that is hard for someone else, by all means give them a hand. Example: a tall person reaching to a top shelf to get something for a short person who cant reach it. (note again, this does not mean that a slightly taller person, who cant reach it either, should suffer all day with the shorter person, nor does it mean that being tall means being a life time servant to short people).
.
PHYSICAL FITNESS:
HEALTHY BODY, HEALTHY MIND
It helps to work out, join a gym, and/or study Yoga (very good, get a good book on it, or take a class, and "do it").
.
VITAMIN B COMPLEX:
Vitamin B Complex is the Happiness Vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12). the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is not large enough to keep your happy, the B Complex will keep you happy, take one daily.
Also, get both a MULTI VITAMIN and a MULTI MINERAL supplement, daily (in addition to the B Complex).
.
EATING MEAT CAUSES AGGRESSION
"It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." - Albert Einstein, Letter to 'Vegetarian Watch-Tower', 27 December 1930
