Ever heard of a torque wrench? It's a tool mechanics use, to apply twisting force to a nut or bolt. It's used when the amount of force has to be just right. It's normally used on machines under some sort of heavy load or continual strain; the same way a brain is that is enduring bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, or killer stress. My system applies the necessary force to both counter the load of your symptoms, allowing you to hold it all together, and steadily "torque back" its strength, until it weakens and possibly ceases entirely.

A Brief Outline of the Steps in TORQUE BACK

1.   Take your vitamins and minerals (but just the right kind)

2.   Oil up. Fish oil with omega-3s (but just the right kind)

3.   Relax. Meditate (but use the best scientific tools to do so)

4.   Quit all addictions

5.   Unnecessary stressors must be removed

6.   E Eat right and Exercise

7.   Be OK with your life as it is right now

8.   Address physical ailments

9.   Chat - Talk to someone

10. Keep a journal
