Kate is a long-time sufferer of anxiety and panic attacks. She first experienced them after a very nasty seperation that resulted in a severe depression in 1998. After a few years of treatment with the usual pharmaceutical drugs and a therapist that was ineffective, she resigned herself to her situation. The doctors and the professionals seemed to think things were working, they must be right. Kate later met a new man who was very kind, gentle and understanding – but she still had anxiety attacks.

Feeling increasingly useless and a burden to her family, she totally withdrew from society and was terrified to go out of the house for nearly 5 years. Kate experienced extreme social phobia and was nearly catatonic with agoraphobia if she stepped outside the house alone. She was only able to be out of the house with her husband who she felt protected and safe with.

Eventually Kate saw a professional therapist that specialized in depression drugs. A different prescription did help and she was able to go back to work part-time. But she was tired and listless all the time. The drugs helped, but had a nasty side effect. She gained a lot of weight and though she didn’t suffer with the anxiety attacks anymore, she knew things should be “better”.

It was only after some soul searching and learning meditative practices and yoga, that Kate was able to finally stand up for herself and say “Hey! This drug makes me feel terrible. There has got to be another solution”. She weaned off the medication that had made her feel like a zombie for some 10 years. With the help of her Homeopathic doctor, Kate is now free of medication and panic attacks or any kind of anxiety.

Being free from stress and anxiety really is possible. Sometimes the body is lacking in diet and needs supplementation. Our environment is toxic, the food we eat has toxins, hormones and pesticides in it. It’s very hard on the body to be bombarded constantly by toxins we can’t even avoid.
