Diet Change Helps With Allergic Asthma

For over 50 years, I've had to deal with allergic asthma, and diet plays a, tremendous, part in managing both allergies, and asthma. Also, having done the "Allergy Scratch Test", and receiving the allergy shots, has decreased the severity, and frequency of attacks.

Losing Yourself, In A Book

My children, and I, were at a bookstore, and one of my kids came up to me with a book - called "Why Paint Cats". My son showed me one of the pictures in that book, and it was a picture of Charlie Chaplin painted on a cat. Then he, along with his brother and sister - walked off. Leaving me alone, as I laughed out loud, in the middle of the store.

You can get "Why Paint Cats", at Amazon.

Coping with PTSD

I've found that there are many self help books, on the subject of PTSD. It takes a great deal of effort to put coping skills into a day-to-day, routine, but it is definitely worth the effort, at least that is what I have found to be true. The internet has several websites, where you can anonymously share your experiences, and get feedback, from people with relative experiences and stories. LINK>PTSD Diagnostic Criteria
