From getting the jitters from too much caffeine, to the feeling of calm after a glass of milk or Thanksgiving turkey; there are components in our food that impact our mood. In this respect we are what we eat. The human body can be thought of a a car, when given the right fuel it runs optimally, but with inadequate fuel it might sputter and stall.

• December 11, 2009 Doctors are used to prescribing medication... it's what they're taught to do, not to mention it gets the patient out the door and the room freed up for the next patient (doctors are extremely busy and often overworked.) Most psychologists have never had a panic attack, so they have no personal experience to fall back on. Instead they use their training, which is generally outdated. The patient gets frustrated after a few visits, never returns, and the psychologist assumes the patient is cured. One of the over 26,000 users of Panic Away reports that he...

• December 10, 2009 [caption id="" align="alignright" width="210" caption="Image via Wikipedia"][/caption] The first attack a person experiences is usually fairly mild, and could be triggered by almost anything. (Subsequent attacks can be far worse.) Then the panic attacks become self-perpetuating, because the fear of having a panic attack will actually BRING ON another attack. The anticipation of the next attack starts the anxiety in motion. Then the slightest trigger launches the full blown panic attack. The only way to stop having panic attacks is to stop this cycle. Panic Away teaches a technique that breaks the cycle of anxiety and returns the person to normal everyday living. To get results, there is no need to regress into the past and find out why you had your initial panic attack. You just need to be willing to break out of the anxiety cycle.
