Treatment Possibilities and Recommendations

by Paul J. Hannig, Ph.D.

I recommend considering the following approaches for obtaining maximum results. Ask your doctor to explain these recommendations. Please check off those approaches that might be of interest to you and submit them to your therapist/coach.

1. The Orthomolecular Method ___ 2. Psychiatric Medications ___

3. Physical Exercise ___ 4. Psychological Counseling ___

5. Spiritual Methods ___ 6. Personal Coaching ___

7. Self-help Methods ___ 8. Telephone Therapy ___

Also ask about prayer, meditation, deep feeling methods, and talk therapy.

1. The Orthomolecular Method: The following substances have been used very successfully with the orthomolecular approach. In many cases the megadose method is extremely effective.... Vitamin C, niacin, P.S. 100 [phosphatidylserine], DMAE, 5-HTP, TCB 3 herbal stress formula (Chinese formula), Nature's Rescue (flower remedy), Melatonin, Valerian root, Kava Kava, etc. various natural, decaffeinated teas, like green tea, saw Palmetto, comfrey and chamomile.

2. Psychiatric medications: Great advances have been made in recent years with psychiatric medications. They are extremely effective; but not perfect. Treat them as if they were angels of mercy that can help balance chemical and neurotransmitter deficiencies in the brain. There are many ways to balance brain chemistry and this is one of them to consider in an overall program for advancing your growth. Overall good treatment requires a blend of the different approaches. Look to experiment at first, in order to find the combinations that work for you. Everyone is different and it will take a while to get the right combinations.

3. Physical exercise is a must for obtaining overall well-being. An effective physical exercise and training program can do much to eliminate poor circulation, out of balance chemistry and the ravages of free radicals.

4. Psychological counseling is a must for achieving overall success. There is a multitude of treatment interventions that can be utilized, once a thorough assessment and evaluation has taken place. The information that you give to your therapist/coach will help to mutually determine what techniques and approaches work with your personality and individual needs. Don't be afraid to discuss the various treatment possibilities that are available.

5. Spiritual Therapy: This approach has made great strides in recent years and should not be alleviated from your program. You may wish to explore the possibilities of prayer, meditation and deep feeling methods in your healing journey. A special interest is the area where quantum physics intersects with universal healing energy.

6. Personal Coaching: This is an approach that is gaining national popularity, since it combines very powerful techniques for achieving maximum, successful results in all areas of your life.

7. Self-help Methods: In the last 20 years there has been a tremendous upsurge in self-help methodologies. Ask your therapist/counselor to coach and teach you on how to use the many self-help methods that are available. You can receive a lot of benefits from the work that you do on yourself, at home.

8. Telephone Therapy: With the invention of advanced telephone technology and treatment procedures, effective treatment, coaching and counseling can be conducted from the comfort, safety and convenience of your own home. It does not matter where you live and how bad the traffic jams are. Amplified telephone systems make therapy, counseling and coaching something you can do at home.
