    The Definitive Supplement Regimen to Help Cure Your Anxiety

    After being my own lab rat, and taking everything I could get my hands own, I wanted to make a list of supplements that I feel anyone and everyone having anxiety or panic disorder should be taking. This isn't the only ones you can take, but I highly recommend you at least do these. I truly believe that these remedies not only can help keep you calm, but will actually help rebuild your over sensitive nervous system and help bring your body and brain chemistry back to balance. I hope this becomes a sticky at the top.

    I use the word "Cured" a lot when I talk about overcoming anxiety and I do this on purpose. I want you to get used to the idea that you can be cured and not just maintained. You want to get to a level where you do not need to take anything! That is cured. Of course all humans have stress and a certain amount of anxiety occasionally can be normal. The problem is when you step into the realm of it being a disorder. We all know what this is without me having to explain it. I know you may think this may cost you a lot of money, but this can really make a difference. Think of how much the doctor costs you with all those tests and exams and without even a way to cure most people. And if your like I was, you have ambulance and ER visit expenses. These even cost you anywehre near that.

    I do not make money or get any endorsements on any of these products. These are products that I used as part of my recovery and believe this to be of great importance in slowly healing you. I am posting links were you can buy these products, and again, I am not making any money off this. I tend to use iherb.com because over $40 its free shipping and their prices are almost always the cheapest. You do the steps to heal your mind, retrain your brain by creating new and better habits, and you need to also do the steps to heal your body, and supplements should be a part of that regimen. Doctors medication can get you functioning, but I have no faith in their drugs to actually offer any type of long term cure for anxiety.

    Note: Some people believe in taking amino acids to help increase serotonin and acetyl choline and I did this too. To be honest, it was so long ago, I can't remember exactly what the regimen was. I'd advise you to research for natural ways to increase these 2 neurotransmitters. I will focus here mainly on herbs. I was taking Acetyl-N-Carnitine, Lipoic acid, Fish Oil, amino acid complex, glutamine, taurine, and some others. I don't know if it helped or not because I was doing and taking so many things, but it may have been part of my healing. I will let you do your own research on those. I don't feel that I can recommend those with confidence as their effects aren't totally clear to me. I can recommend the products below though with confidence and really think everyone should be taking all of these for at least some time:


    All at the same time 2 times a day:
    Passion Flower Extract. 2- 350 mg pills- 2 times a day
    http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Passi...90-Vcaps/18044

    Eastern Easentials Calm and Relaxed Formula- 6 pills 2 times a day
    http://www.easternessentials.com/sto...laxed-formula/

    Pharma Gaba- 2 capsules 2 times a day (There is debate if GABA can penetrate the blood brain barrier. I say its worth a try.)
    http://www.iherb.com/Natural-Factors...ggie-Caps/8905

    Suntheanine. 1 150 mg capsule 2 times a day (This is the amino acid in green tea that makes you feel calm and good. Not the caffeine part)
    http://www.iherb.com/Doctor-s-Best-S...gie-Caps/12959

    Take these 5 products I listed above twice daily together. Once after breakfast and once later in the evening.

    Before sleep take 2 more Passionflower Extracts pills with 2 cups of chamomile tea. 2 tea bags, use the tea bags twice for a total of 2 cups.
    Here is awesome tea! Chamomile, Lavender and Lemon Balm combo all organic! Drink this as much as you want. Buy boxes of this stuff. Cartons, crates! Take baths in it if you have to.
    http://www.iherb.com/Traditional-Med...-oz-24-g/41694

    Use 1 teaspoon of organic raw honey with your tea. Let the tea cool for a few minutes before you add it so not to cook the honey and lose its nutrients. If you have a bee pollen allergy or an infant 1 year old or under don't use it.
    This stuff is awesome! http://www.iherb.com/GloryBee-Organi...oz-510-g/33159

    DO NOT TAKE B VITAMINS OR CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTS UNTIL YOUR ANXIETY IS UNDER CONTROL

    Take Milk Thistle Extract- 1 250 mg pill 2 times daily
    http://www.iherb.com/MRM-Silymarin-W...ggie-Caps/4650

    1 scoop a day of this incredible green drink. 1 tablespoon (6 g) Contains the Antioxidant Equivalent of 24 Servings of Fruits & Vegetables
    http://www.iherb.com/Paradise-Herbs-...oz-182-g/12309

    1 pill daily of 5000 mg Vitamin D3.

    1 capsule 3 times a day of 200 mg of Magnesium Glycinate
    http://www.iherb.com/Bluebonnet-Nutr...90-Vcaps/14198


    What is so great about these supplements, is there are no side effects and they are making you healthier! Not like drugs that add no benefit to your overall health and have side effects. I recommend you get all of these.

    No soda. Drink water and the chamomile/ lemon balm/ lavender tea.
    No alcohol!
    Get in a yoga class 3 times a week. Do it at your own pace no matter how out of shape you are. It isn't a race. Yoga is all about what it does to you internally. Take avery beginning class if you have to. Enjoy being in such a positive healthy exercise environment.
    Breathe through your nose as much as possible throughout the day every day.
    Read The Power of Now.

    If you are overbreathing or hyperventilating then read and practice this book by Patrick McKeown on Buteyko breathing
    Anxiety Free: stop worrying and quieten your mind

    Something out there brought you to this anxious state for a reason. It is in this state where you will be motivated to heal yourself and create a much better you. Enjoy the healing process. Believe in something, God, Jesus, The Force, The Flow, whatever you chose. Believe in a greater purpose of your life and that you are being guided by something that wants you to be happy and healthy. Focus on your future happy and healthy non anxious self as if it is happening right now, until you reach it. You know, basic Law of Attraction stuff.

    Don't be so hard on yourself and try not to get too dramatic about stuff. Learn to flow with life and try and enjoy yourself. This is not a rehearsal. This is it! This is your life and try to make it the best you can! Leave the bad times in the past and start looking forward. All that matters is what is going on right now and what you will do with the rest of your life.

    Good luck!
