Amino Acids and Magnesium cured my Anxiety

[Damavandi]

Hi:

Your approach was brilliant to cure yourself--congratulations.
I was deficient in vitamin D3, and I also got cured by taking care of this
problem. Please read my Thread " The Cure ?" at the depression forum of this site.

I know a lot both about amino acids, and vitamin D3. Please send me a private message.
I tried to send you a private message. Somehow, it seems that the cpacity of your in-box is full.

Best wishes,
Ali

I am curious what your D3 level was? I recently had my D3 level checked and it was at 34. The lower limit of the range is 30 so I am close but not technically deficient. Do you think this is low enough to cause symptoms?

nf1234,

A wonderful resource online is the Vitamin D Council (you can just google "Vitamin D Council"). This is a non-profit organization founded by Dr. John Cannell. I have followed Dr. Cannell's work for a few years and have begun to routinely get Vitamin D levels in my patients now. This is all thanks to Dr. Cannell. I was fortunate enough to interview him for an hour on my weekly podcast a few months back. He is an amazing individual.

I would say that AT LEAST 80% of the Vitamin D levels I get on my patients comes back as deficient. And that is being conservative.

Take the time to research Vitamin D. It is worth your (everyone's) time - and health.

Kindly,
Dr. Zafirides

Thank you for your insight I have since looked at the Vitamin D Council website. They claim your level should be at least 50 so it sounds like I need to supplement. Would you say, with your experience, that my low vit D level of 34 could be causing symptoms?

Don't you think it's rather a placebo effect?

Hanino,

I have read the entire thread on magnesium and anxiety. I must say I more than intrigued in this topic. I will try to do some research on this topic and see if I can't get a guest on my weekly podcast to shed more light on this issue.

Has anyone on this thread know come across any professional/researcher I can contact to see if they want to come on The Healthy Mind podcast to discuss this further? Any help would be appreciated. Fascinating!

Thanks to all of you for your contributions. It has piqued my interest and I hope I can return the favor by having an expert on my show to discuss the role of magnesium in anxiety.

Kindly,
Dr. Zafirides

I find that Tryptophan works very well. I know many people that have used it and have achieved positive results. Although just like all other medication it's important not to take high doses of it, otherwise it can induce drowsiness.

Let me know how you get along and pm me anytime.

Day 5 using the Amino Fuel and Magnesium as suggested by OP: The buzzing/ringing in my head is all but gone (unless I concentrate on listening for it). The weird sensations in my head are all but gone. The constant on-edge waiting for the next mind-melting sensation or fear of a panic attack is all but gone. This weekend, I experienced zero anxiety while at the grocery store, I drove in the dark without freaking out by every car that went by me, and I sat through an intimate dinner with friends without having to focus on holding myselft together. And, most notably, the ever-present heavy foggy headed feeling like i have wet concrete for a brain are quickly being replaced with feelings of normalcy.

I want to shout it from the roof tops! Thank you hanini!!!!

What an inspirational post to read! Psychological reasons can also cause anxiety disorders predominately, but chemical-biological activity mediates our physical and mental conditions. Optimal nutrition of the essential amino acids and minerals, especially magnesium and calcium, will tackle natural coherent functioning of the body and mind, but if this does not completely subside your anxiety join it with a little psychological knowledge of anxiety, maybe by therapy or personal learning, and then both sides of the condition will secure the cure of an anxiety condition of mind. The natural vitamins and minerals in food and supplements can obtain natural brain and body chemistry, but remember the mind has equal effects on biology as biology has on mind. Let the nutritional-biological nurture work its magic though! Again, amazing to hear of people relieved from the crippling state of anxiety!

Day 13 and I still feel amazingly better. Not 100% - I still have that annoying head buzzin, but it's mostly just in the evenings now (perhaps from the Mag getting used up?) and the occasional feeling where my head is imploding on itself when talking one-on-one to others. Otherwise I'm feeling great!!
