Default Visit my website and end your anxiety

http://www.endanxiety.moonfruit.com

I have set up this website as i suffer from anxiety but on my way to
getting fully better, I wanted to make this website to help people who also suffer with this depilating condition, who don’t know what to do to get better, It took me 2 and a half years to finally find out where this anxiety is coming from, and £5,000 on tests. No its not a mental illness no its not all in your head, and don’t waist your money on herbs and quick fixes, they don’t work, waist of money, And please do NOT take anti anxiety medication or anti depressants, you are masking the problem and making it worse, this is why people up their doses!!
I suffer from social phobia and general anxiety, with OCD, yes life has been hard but my trust is with God. There is a cure for everything. Now i’m on my way to health fast!

Meds can work and many people use the same dose for years. You are wrong to assume every case of anxiety is due to nutrition and diet causes. Anxiety can be due to many different things, a lot of which we don't fully understand yet. For example, genetic differences in receptors such as 5-HT1A are associated with anxiety:

Serotonin transporter genetic differences associated with anxiety:

While i agree that diet can have some effect on depression and anxiety it is not the root cause. I was depressed when eating healthy regular meals and i was depressed when i cooked less healthy meals when i moved out. Not to be mean or anything but if adrenlin is speeding up my metabolism and causing anxiety as you claim then how could i possibly go from 110lbs to 220lbs? Shouldn't the increased metabolism and healthy eating cause me to lose weight not gain it?

In the case of good bodyfat yes it would depend, but mine was 30 pounds of muscle and the other 80 was mostly my beer belly.

It is part physical but there is more. Knowing that you are acting okay with people, and being able to reassure yourself that you are, and to learn when you aren't. Being able to discipline yourself mentally and verbally and emotionally is also important.

To the OP:

Anxiety is not caused merely by excess adrenaline. There are numerous different pathways and neurochemicals involved in the fear and anxiety response, with adrenaline only being a single one of them, and generally more towards the end of the response; e.g., mediating negative physical/peripheral effects. If it was solely adrenaline at work causing anxiety, alpha/beta blockers and/or clonidine (which are drugs that block the action of adrenaline) would fully remedy it, and although they can reduce symptoms to some extent, this is not the case. Conversely, they work beautifully for performance anxiety, which correlates well with their inhibition of peripheral symptoms. I recommend you look into the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) to further your understanding of how stress and anxiety actually work.

Furthermore, as euphoria noted above, anxiety is not always or merely the result of nutrient (vitamin, mineral, amino acid, etc) deficiencies, hormone imbalances, or other related issues, but often and perhaps even usually because of genetic factors. Some people are born with mutations in the genes encoding proteins like the serotonin transporter (SERT), serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor, or brain-derived neurotrphic factor (BDNF), among others, and such alterations can strongly lower or even cross the threshold for a person inherently developing an affective disorder. In other cases or in combination, simple psychological environmental factors may play a role, like past or current child abuse, bullying at school or work, and so forth. Such phenomenon can result in long-lasting negative changes in the stress-response systems of the brain, such as the encoding of negative emotional memories in the amygdala that activate anxiety in response to specific, associated stimulus (for example, spiders or social situations) that have been learned to be dangerous or threatening. As an example, in rodents, chronic stress induces long-lasting depressive/anxious symptoms, and according to a study I was looking at the other day, a single social defeat can increase immobility (translation: worsen mood) in the forced swim test (FST) (an established test used to determine mood in rodents).

Last but certainly not least, long-term, antidepressants do NOT worsen people's conditions, and they actually tend to do the EXACT OPPOSITE. Antidepressants increase the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus, a signaling protein involved in brain development and neurogenesis. BDNF enhances neuron growth and survival in the hippocampus, among other areas. The hippocampus is a limbic structure which plays a major role in inhibiting the HPA axis, or in other words, its activation limits stress and anxiety responses. Indeed, in depression, atrophy of the hippocampus has been consistently observed, presumably due to a lack of activity of BDNF (note that stress suppresses BDNF expression, which antidepressants reverse). Selective knockout of BDNF in the hippocampus of mature rats abolishes the efficacy of antidepressants in the FST, and the direct injection of BDNF into the hippocampus produces antidepressant effects in its own right. Furthermore, and to completely disprove what you said, long-term treatment with antidepressants has been shown to significantly reduce episodic depression relapse rates even after their discontinuation.

Back in the 80s I discovered I had reactive hypoglycemia and radically changed my diet. It made a big difference I could actually feel the decreased adrenaline in social situations. The hypoglycemia was probably a big factor in the development of my SAD. I think there are other factors at work also, getting rid of the hypoglycemia didn't result in a complete cure for me by any means. However I don't think anyone can make real permanent progress to eliminating their SAD unless they take care of any physical problems they have like hypoglycemia first. I have to say eliminating the hypoglycemia was the best thing I've done for my SAD so far.

Nice to see someone's not being a jerk about this post. After reviewing the website, I think a change in my diet will help me out significantly. I'm going to give it a try, it looks really promising... (for my situation)

I believe drugs simply supplement chemicals in the body causing the body to produce less of it (you're doing the work for it). In that effect, nothing is being solved, just covered up. You need to put your body in the right state to produce the proper chemicals, allowing you to live a healthy, normal lifestyle. Diet is just a start, obviously, but anything is better than the band-aid solution that drugs provide. Thats just my opinion, if you don't like... F**k Off.
