Can Someone Tell Me What's Wrong? Posted: 06-12-05 13:20pm
My husband has been having problems. He
cannot stop thinking and worrying.
Granted we do have a lot to worry about,
but it gets to the point where you have to
quit worrying. Even if there is nothing
that is directly effecting him, he worries
about the things going on in the world to
a point where he cannot eat good or sleep.
He has tried going to the doctor but most
doctors either put him on something that
does not work or think hes out to get
drugs. Valium seems to work but they will
not give him that. Does anyone know what
is wrong?

Sounds like anxiety or depression.
Medication like prozac should work for
this...Has he tried this? Maybe you could
take him back to the Dr. And ask aks them
for a different prescription?
Just give him your love and support
throguh this rough time for both of you,
the very best to you guys.
I hope he feels better, you take care too
and keep posting on how you're doing and
any improvment.

He has tried prozac, lexapro, and even st
johns wort. They all make him mean.
Seems to have the opposite affect. I will
keep you posted. Thanks

Dear hb30427,
it seems to me that your husband is
suffering from anxiety attacks that is
often associated with depression. As a
nutritional psychologist I am not in
favour in drug therapy, which should be
used only as a last resort.
People who are overproducing adrenaline
are inclined to be worrying about all
sorts of things.
The reason why some people overproduce
adrenaline is because the brain senses an
energy starvation caused by insulin
resistance, also called hypoglycemia.
The brain is entirely dependent on energy
derived form the sugars we eat, and when
there is an obstruction in the absorption
and metabolism of sugars, the brain is
starved of energy and hence trigger the
release of stress hormones like
adrenaline.
The treatment is going on a hypoglycemic
diet.
This condition can be medically tested by
a special test described at our web site
as:
“testing for hypoglycemia and how the
doctor can help” by dr george samra
sydney australia.
Please read:
“what is hypoglycemia?”
“beating anxiety”
“depression a nutritional disorder”
at our web site.
Please discuss with a doctor or other
therapist familiar with hypoglycemia and
nutritional disorders.
Thanks jurplesman. I read about
hypoglycemia and it sounds just like what
he has. He is going to the doctor in a
couple of days. Hopefully, they will test
him. How convienient is the diet? Is it
very hard to follow?

Hello hb30427,
no the diet is not hard to follow. Sugar
is the main culprit and the avoidance of
various chemicals in manufactured foods.
It is just a natural diet we are meant to
eat.
See:
"the hypoglycemic diet" at our web site
most naturopaths and nutritionists are
familiar with the problem.
