Many people experience some symptoms and hear that these symptoms are anxiety or stress related and decide to take things into their own hands trying to find that panic or anxiety treatment off the shelf and git rid of the problem.

Some people might have examples of some people who did just that and were able to overcome their anxiety disorder. I would say congratulations to those people, but at the same time I would plead with these people not to advise others to do the same.

Getting good results from wrong procedures does not justify the procedure. These people were simply lucky.

We all know that anxiety is a condition we cause. It only lingers when we don’t understand it or know how to reverse it. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder. And when we say panic attacks these are sudden surges of overwhelming fear that that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than having anxiety or the feeling of being ‘stressed out’ that most people experience.

If you want to know on how anxiety panic attacks works you can ask anyone who has ever suffered from these kind of disorder on how horrible they feels. Yeah, I know that many of us have probably had one and just didn’t know what it was. According to statistics by www.anxietypanic.com, one out of every seventy-five people worldwide will experience anxiety panic attacks once in their lives. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress, but when anxiety becomes excessive, even routine situations become dreaded. And here are some common symptoms of a panic attack, such as palpitations, hyperventilation, dizziness, chest pain, headache, tingling of the hands or arms, feeling sweaty or nauseous.

We should understand that these feelings of impending doom are not easy to get rid of once they start, especially when you’re sitting in a room full of people, or when you’re in the middle of Wal-Mart screaming silently in your head. Depersonalization and derealization can also occur with panic, like you are living in a dream, feeling that you are not really a part of what is going on around you, that you’re detached and looking from the outside in. As symptoms continue and intensify, avoidance behavior develops which can produce agoraphobia, causing the sufferer to restrict social interaction and retreat to safety until total withdrawal occurs. It’s important for people with anxiety panic attacks to learn all they can and be knowledgeable about the illness and the available treatments. There are many theories about what causes anxiety and panic disorder; is it biological, psychological or psycho dynamic, that is, is the disorder caused by a past experience or trauma?

Well, heres some sort of information I want to share it with you. According to my mother she used to call fear anxiety and depression the unholy Trinity. Although she was being melodramatic when she said it, it held a lot of truth for her. She always had some of the symptoms of anxiety attacks whenever things got tough for her. There are certain things she was phobic of and, no matter how much she did try to treat them, they never quite went away. Her fear anxiety symptoms, I am sorry to say, lasted from her childhood until the day of her death.

As for me, as a parents I want to raised my own kids, I vowed that nothing would give my children anxiety attacks. Sadly, there is only so much you can do as a parent. I don’t know what it is, but my youngest ended up having the same symptoms as my mother – fear anxiety and depression. There is only so much you can do as a parent to prevent certain conditions. What I really had to do was to get the kid treatment.

She got some relief from traditional methods. I didn’t want her to get drugs, but the doctor convinced me that anti anxiety medications would be very helpful to get the symptoms under control. Sure enough, once they were prescribed for her, she stopped having panic attacks. Then we got to the root cause of the fear anxiety. That required a lot of therapy. She went to a psychiatrist several times a week. That cost a lot of money, but it really helped her. Besides that, she started going to a children’s anxiety support group. In the long run, it worked wonders. Now she is a happy, healthy, well-adjusted kid. I am glad I stuck with her through all of it.

To all parents out there, if you have kid who suffers from fear anxiety, don’t waste time blaming yourself. It doesn’t so much matter who is at fault as what you can do to stop it. People now understand that fear anxiety is an extremely complicated thing. There is a genetic component, an emotional component, and a social component to it. Sorting it out can be a lot of work, but it is worth it. When you see your kids finally live panic free, you’ll know what it is to be a happy parent..

However even anxiety disorder recovery is attainable, there aren’t any "quick fix," "miracle cures," or "secret remedies" for it. Anxiety recovery requires accessing the right information, help, and support, then applying the right tools to bring about lasting success. Anyone can do it when they know how and have the proper support. But, lasting results can be attained. We know what it takes to return to lasting normal health because we’ve done it ourselves.

In fact the most commonly used treatments for anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias is a combination of medication and psychotherapy, including cognitive therapy to change negative thought processes and behavioral therapy to change daily habits. There are also drug-free therapies to induce relaxation, release tension, lower blood pressure, slow heart rate and breathing, in addition to meditation, hypnotherapy to overcome specific phobias, and other alternative therapies. For the most recent research and more about anxiety panic attacks and related topics, go online to National Panic & Anxiety Disorder News at www.npadnews.com. Information is updated regularly about new conventional and alternative treatments for anxiety disorders. If you feel like you have, or could be developing anxiety panic attacks, go online and take a self-screening test at one of many informative sites to see if your symptoms indicate an anxiety disorder.

To Overcome Anxiety Panic Attack it’s important to understand the contributing factors. Anxiety Panic Attack is a response to stress–specific stressors which include nutritional stressors. This article is focused on handling nutritional factors as the first step in overcoming anxiety panic attack.

Very little progress is possible in dealing with anxiety panic attack and agoraphobia without addressing diet. In fact many professionals believe that addressing diet is the total cure for overcoming panic and anxiety. However, I’v learned that other factors such as personality, understanding the general adaptation syndrome, methods of dealing with disappointment, understanding the difference between observation and conclusion… are also important to deal with in detail. This program produced results of 80% success rate for those suffering from anxiety panic attack and agoraphobia.

So let’s begin with diet. Diet is the foundation of improvement and without it we can not expect any improvement–absolutely none.

A high refined carbohydrate diet consisting of bagels, rolls, breads, cakes, coffee and sodas containing caffeine is the biggest mistake that can be made. Why?

Simply because refined sugars from these types of foods easily break down to blood sugar causing a rapid rise of blood sugar–as much as 50 calories/minute. For years this may not be a problem, but eventually it’s like crying "wolf." This rapid increase in blood sugar is sensed by the pancreas which counters it with the creation of insulin to reduce the blood sugar. Under normal conditions the blood sugar would stabilize, however, after years and years the system is overtaxed and causes an over abundance of insulin to be created. This over abundance causes the blood sugar to drop too low which is the condition known as hypoglycemia.

If you do any internet search for hypoglycemia you’ll find a page full of symptoms which include jitteriness, nervousness, shortness of breadth, anxiety, increased heart rate, palpitations… which is why many professionals treat anxiety with diet alone. And if it were not for other learned complications such as months and perhaps years–even decades–of conditioning dietary correction might well be all that’s required.

Conditioning? Pavlov did the initial experiments in conditioning. Every time he fed the dog, he rang a bell. And then, after a period of trials (conditioning) he only rang the bell (no food) and the dog salivated just as it did when given food. Thus the bell became the conditioned response. Likewise, every time the anxiety response was triggered by hypoglycemia, there were surrounding physical and mental stressors so that eventually just thinking about the possibility of an anxiety attack (the bell) brings on an anxiety attack.

Never the less, diet is the first thing to correct. Start by eliminating all forms of whitewhite bread, bagels, rolls, cakes, white potatoes, white processed rice, sugar. And of course stay away from anything with caffeine. Avoid fructose. I would not suggest artificial sweeteners in their place. If you’re looking for a zero calorie sweetener, stevia, an herb from Paraguay, is the best natural sweetener and is available in health food stores everywhere.

Eat nuts, meats, eggs, non processed cheese, vegetables, and consume only breads made of whole grains. Use natural sweeteners such as honey sparingly. And at first, avoid consuming more than one portion of fruit a day. Minimize consumption of cold cuts.

Because you may have nutritionally stressed your body, I recommend a multivitamin such as RainBow Light’s Complete Nutritional System–available in most health food stores or you can order from my website at a discount.

Minerals have likewise been depleted–especially calcium. The best calcium/mineral supplement is in ionic form such as a product called Xooma Coral Calcium also available through my website.

In summary, nutrition is where you start. The next challenges are to learn to handle life’s disappointments because how one’s personality is oriented leaves one emotionally at a loss in dealing with disappointment. It’s actually the desire to escape disappointments which when symptoms are experienced accelerate and contribute to activation of the general adaptation syndrome (GAS) activating the flight response. Dvd/cd programs for the professional working with panic and anxiety are available through the website.
