To find a holistic/homeopathic practitioner, an herbalist or a naturopath...look in your yellow pages &/or use the internet. I'll give u some links & numbers:

Have her do a cleanse. The store The Vitamin Shoppe IS 1 OF THE BEST (& has the best prices too) to help u with that including vitamins, medicine, protein, sunlight therapy (I've seen some at Costco & Sam's club), etc.

Change the way she & the family eats, it WILL DEFINITELY HELP a lot. Do not eat farm raised fish, eat USDA organic foods~everything from milk & cereals to goodies like candy/sodas/cakes/pies/etc., aromatherapy with organic oils DEFINITELY helps too, NO white processed flour or sugar~use organic ones, drink water before & after meals including breakfast/drink 8 a day & if shes not a water drinker have her drink as much as possible/take it day by day,

Use ONLY NONTOXIC 100 percent organic household cleaning supplies. Oprah did a show on this on April 20, 2007. go to her website to view her favorite green things including household cleaners, OPRAH.COM then search on her website using "favorite green things" or search by the date. Vinegar, organic being the best of course, is awesome to clean, bathe in, & cook with. What a person beathes in has an affect on the brain, so don't give the brain & body what they do not want. Soooo many adults, ESPECIALLY children, are always getting sick from household cleaners. Read the story of Ms. Amilya Antonetti. It Will blow your sister's & your mind away too, LOL! She does have 2 websites, www.amilyaschoice.com (under construction)
& www.soapworks.com. Also, she was on the Big Idea With Donny Deutsch, www.bigidea.cnbc.com.
Tv shows for information too, RECORD THEM & KEEP THEM. If u have a dvr or dvr cable box u can also look under keyword "organic", all of the shows will pop up then u can set a reminders for each of them. Make sure u also set your recording settings for each show to "save until manually erased":

1~Get Fresh With Sara Snow, on the Discovery Health Channel.
1B~Sara Snow's other show Living Fresh, on the Discovery Health Channel.
2~Alternative Health, hosted by Naturopath Doctor Valerie Saxion, on the TBN Channel. ((Totalhealthlabs.com or Tbn.org)).
3~ANYTHING that Dr. Oz ((REALAGE.COM)) is going to make an appearance on like Oprah for example. The Discovery Health Channel has shows that they show once in a while with him. I believe they were titled YOU: The Owner's Manuel. U can also order those shows through the Discovery Health Channel online or going to the website to get their phone # & then calling them. His & Dr. Michael Roizen's books are amazing too! They also come on cd or dvd, if your not the "reading" type like me, ^~^ lol.
4~Alive & Well, Hosted by Michelle on Goodlife Tv Channel.
5~The Green, hosted by evironmental expert Simron Sethi on the Sundance Channel.

3~E3 Live Green Superfoods @ awakenedshoppe.com.

Walking for 30 mins., (what Dr. oz has said on Oprah 7 his website) every day or every other day for a start is a MUST with her favorite music. The "good feeling" endorphins are released when the body is exercising & I DEFINITELY feel good after an amazing walk. Massage Therapy is AWESOME not only for the brain & body, but the soul & heart too.

Here's a resource that is inexpensive:
1~Go to a massage school for deep tissue massaging or any type of massaging that the head person recommends. Your sister WILL LOVE IT ^~^!

Anything holistic:
1~Go to a holistic school.

Anything on acupuncture (painless):
1~Go to an acupuncture school.

Anything on natural healing:
1~Go to a school for dietetics & nutrition.
**She could end up getting into this field soooo much & loving it, til she could end up choosing to make this her career to help others, lol, u never know ^~^! God always takes a negative & turns it into a positive like he has done in my life ^~^!** If I had the time, I DEFINITELY would ^~^.

To find any organic grocery stores (big & small/inexpensive & expensive): look in your yellow pages under Health & Diet Food Products~Retail. Also, Wal~Mart, Target & other stores like them also sell organic food, drinks & vitamins. *wink*.
Paul Newman Organics are very good too, OMG they are soooo good lol! I eat his candy bars & cups, he has peanut butter cups, caramel filled cups, solid chocolate bars, everything. Plus he has dressings, produce & more.

I have finally discovered organic ice cream since I've been here in Ca. & it is sooo amazingly good. Besides the obvious when it comes to eatling organic goodies, including cookies lol, is to keep your body from craving sugar sooo often. When some women are on their cycle they have a very strong craving for something sweet & salty, organic goodies takes care of all of that ^~^! lol! I rarely crave for sugar & it's best to keep the candy in the freezer with the ice cream & b/c they are not made out of junk, they are not hard as a brick when u pop them in your mouth (just let them melt slowly & chill) ^~^ lol! If u are in Ca., there are even organic restaurants like Soup Plantation. I can promise u, that if she will give her body what it wants every day, she WILL feel amazing!! Give her brain & body about a mth. or 2 weeks to start feeling better.

When I changed my ways of eating, (I have an 8 yr. old too), my brain felt like it FINALLY WOKE UP & my son slowed down ^~^! Another thing, depression can sometimes keep u from sleeping, therefore she needs what is already in the body...melatonin. She can get it in a pill ((it's a VERY small orange colored & flavored pill & is my favorite b/c it melts under your tongue & u just sip on water or a different drink. She has to BE IN BED when she takes it or otherwise she'll hit the floor like I did my first time lol & she WILL wake up feeling well rested or better)) or a liquid.

There is a such thing as holistic health insurance or alternative health insurance, GOOGLE those & see what u come up with or u can google (enter state) holistic health insurance or (enter state) alternative health insurance. To give u an example of the prices for Ca.~usually under $20.00/mth. or even under $15.00/mth. ^~^!

LAST~Keep THAT jackass away from her & anyone else that is a negative person, ESPECIALLY if they are family I've had to keep others out of my life too, leaving from home to come to Ca. was one of the best thing I did for myself ^~^. Negativity DOES have an effect on a person's soul, mind, body & heart. Also, forgiving is very important too, it may be hard, but it's VERY benficial. Dr. Oz said that too, lol.

Everything I have told u about, I have done & still do to this very day ^~^! My depression has been managed VERY well for almost a yr. now & it will be a yr. in July ^~^. If she works or can't work b/c of her depression, she can get ssi (supplemental security income), I have a couple of relatives on it, it does help. ANY medicine from the fda is junk. They LOVE their money & are making more & more off of people who are depressed, injured, or whatever. Thats y they want to shut down anything that is organic or has to do with chinese herbs/acupuncture, alternative medicine, massage therapy, & so on. People are OBVIOUSLY sick & tired of being lied to so thats y they are going the alternative way ^~^. Another resource about EVERYTHING, including the fda (selfish ignorant idiots), is newstarget.com. Btw, the medicine that a doctor has to prescribe does & will make u gain weight. I kept being prescription after prescription for different pills til it was very crazy. I will never forget the mornings I woke up with bruises all over my legs because the pills made me sleep walk & VERY sick to where I could NOT keep food down, not to mention crying after waking up every morning & not knowing why, plus not sleeping therefore being VERY sleepy & tired the next day. I got sick & tired of every damn thing!! What the fda puts out has side effects that WILL & CAN do harm...organic herbal medicine does not.

I hope all of that info. helps. Ive been typing for a bit here, lol, & I don't mind b/c I'm helping out. *smile* ^~^! Lol!!

Anything I can do, let me know. U can i.m/email me. If I'm not online, i.m me anyways & I'll get the message when I log on. I welcome your sister to i.m/email me too, especially so I can lift up her spirits. Thank God u are in her life! God knew what he was doing when HE blessed the both of u in each others lives. I had to do 97% of everything on my own, no help from anyone except my mom & she didnt know much of what to do either b/c she had never been in the situation before. Again, the both of your are TRULY BLESSED ^~^!

If for any reason the phone #'s or websites I gave u don't work, let me know as soon as u can ^~^. I'll be more than happy to help in any way I can ^~^. I'll even give u websites of organic foods/sodas/goodies if u would like ^~^.

Stay Blessed & Enjoy God's Purple Angel Blessings ^~^,
