Do you crash or get cranky if you go
more than 2 or 3 hours without food? Do you depend on caffeine
or sugar to get through your day? Then this one evening
lecture may be of use to you. The Hypoglycemic Syndrome is a
problem of faulty blood sugar regulation that can eventually
lead to Syndrome X and Diabetes. In this talk we will explore
the many different causes of hypoglycemia, many often
overlooked by the medical establishment. We will learn how to
recognize, control, and even eliminate hypoglycemic symptoms.
Herbs, supplements, dietary measures, and lifestyle changes to
help balance ones blood sugar and overcome hypoglycemia will
be covered in detail. Also included in the course fee are
lecture notes, symptom surveys, and additional resources and
references. |

world of flower essences and teach you ways to incorporate them into
your daily life. In this class we will also spend time

wildflowers.
