Namely natural remedies work as well as prescriptions. I have a chapter on cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), and it's extremely effective for insomnia. Probiotics (in the form of kefir and all the fermented food recipes in the book) may be the "new Paxil" because they work really well in reducing anxiety, but very few people know about how effective they are. There are also a lot of great tools - like self-hypnosis, progressive muscle relaxation, and autogenic training -- that work too. I've had well-educated friends who read up on yoga ask me what [these tools are], so I know people need to know more about all these effective antidotes.
