This natural, dairy-derived protein has a calming effect on the nervous system.At a dose of 150 mg per day, it has been shown to reduce the effects of stress such as mood swings and tension. The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported a double-blind, randomized, crossover, placebocontrolled trial involving this protein derivative. It included 63 female volunteers who suffered from at least one disorder related to stress such as anxiety, sleep problems, and general fatigue. Those who took alpha-casein hydrolysate for 30 days had decreased stress-related symptoms.

Anxiety Drugs and Their Natural Alternatives: What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety
It is normal to feel anxiety or worry at times. However, feeling anxious without reason or having it disrupt functioning in daily life can be signs of a generalized anxiety disorder. Symptoms may include:
- Restlessness
- Being keyed up or feeling on edge
- Sensation of a lump in your throat
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Impatience
- Being easily distracted
- Muscle tension
- Trouble falling or staying asleep
- Excessive sweating
- Shortness of breath
- Stomachache
- Diarrhea
- Headache
Conventional treatment usually consists of anti-anxiety medications and psychotherapy. Natural medicines offer a much safer long-term approach. Addressing underlying psychological and spiritual imbalances is the key to prevention.

Natural Alternatives to Antacid and Reflux Drugs: Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice Root (DGL)
This herbal extract is very soothing to the lining of the esophagus and stomach. It also has natural anti-inflammatory effects. Studies have shown DGL to be effective for healing ulcers, and many practitioners find it helpful for GERD. There have been no direct studies of DGL for GERD.
Licorice Root
DOSAGE
Chew one to two 400-mg tablets three times daily, 20 minutes before meals. DGL is also available in powder form.
SAFETY
While higher doses of regular licorice root may elevate blood pressure and cause water retention, this is not a concern with DGL. Glycyrrhizin, the constituent that may elevate blood pressure and cause water retention, has been removed.

Antacid and Reflux Drugs and Their Natural Alternatives: What is gastroesophageal reflux disease?
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD or acid reflux, is a common condition that affects more than 60 million Americans at least once a month. It occurs when the liquid content of the stomach backs up into the esophagus. This backflow occurs when the valve between the lower esophageal sphincter and the stomach fails to close properly, permitting stomach acid and other liquid contents to back up. The stomach acid irritates and can damage the lining of the esophageal tissues and causes pain.

With the explosion in scientific validation of natural therapies, combined with public concern over potential side effects of pharmaceutical drugs, the current medical climate has created an unprecedented demand for natural alternatives to pharmaceutical medications. This book provides a resource for patients and doctors alike to bridge the gap between these two fields of medicine.
