Reply #15: Anxiety is not Zoloft deficiency

[KT2000]

I'm sorry but the drug answer is but one of many avenues you can take to address your anxiety and it may be the least desirable.

I would recommend seeing a physician who specializes in alternative preventive medicine first. Sometimes avoidance of certain products and taking supplements that do such things as balance the calcium/magnesium/potassium in your body may help. Proper management of sugar intake helps too.

As we are learning from Gulf War research, some chemicals can cause the autonomic nervous system to misbehave in certain people when they are exposed. Over time, the defenses against these chemicals can be depleted as is the case of certain enzymes. If you do some searches on some of the chemicals we are exposed to on a routine basis you will see that the nervous system is a target in many of them. Check out formaldehyde - something that is in most products and found in office settings. Also check out benzene and all the yard chemicals that are so prevalent now.

Modern medicine refuses to acknowledge that we are being dosed in our air, food and water with a soup of chemicals. It is not for lack of effects they are not concerned about this but fear of angering the biggest corporations on the planet. The corporate answer to chemical poisoning is to make another expensive chemical to fix it!

Even if you have to pay out of pocket for alternative medical care, you may find a better resolution to your problem.
Good luck, no matter which way you go -
