Excerpt from The Anxiety Epidemic
Introduction:
The past seventeen years have seen a virtual chain reaction in the public’s outcry for information on the enhancement of a sound mind and body. As one result, nutrition has become a true science and is now taking its place as an integral part of health care. For years the American public lived by "you are what you eat." That has now changed to reflect the need for information about behavior, and the public is beginning to understand that "you are what you absorb."
The content of this book will focus on well-documented information and studies by leading researchers and authorities in the field of clinical nutrition, behavioral medicine, and orthomolecular psychiatry and therapy. And the point I offer you is the importance of nontoxic, natural substances to relieve stress, fear, anxiety, and phobias—most specifically, the proven effectiveness of Gamma Amino Butyric Acid, or GABA, for this purpose.
The forerunner in the use of natural substances to treat deficiency states and to produce a normal brain biochemistry is orthomolecular psychiatry. This therapy was first named and described in 1968 by Dr. Linus Pauling, a two-time Nobel Prize laureate and director of the Linus Pauling Institute. Orthomolecular psychiatry has continued to develop and provide a successful model for treatment with specific nutrients in the diet and supplementation as required. The Academy of Orthomolecular Psychiatry is now an organization that includes physicians and researchers from throughout the world. The Academy has published extensive research information on amino acids, minerals, vitamins, and their effect on the chemistry of the brain.
Since orthomolecular psychiatrists rely heavily on nutrition and megavitamins, they emphasize that the human body is not naturally composed of Valium, Xanax, or any other of the tranquilizers so commonly prescribed today. The message is clear that there is no such thing as a tranquilizer deficiency! In contrast, amino acids, vitamins and other nutritional factors can easily be inadequate for the body’s needs, and these deficiencies can and do affect the mind and behavior.
Recently released figures show that there are some six to ten million people in the United States alone who suffer daily from dreaded anxiety attacks, fear, panic, and phobias. They swallow annually something like 982,550 pounds of barbiturates and spend an astounding $875 billion for Valium, Xanax, Prozac and Zoloft.
GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid) is possibly the natural solution needed by these millions of sufferers!
"Billie Sahley understands the many faces of pain and stress and offers new and exciting alternatives for relief."
Dr. David Bresler
Author of Free Yourself From Pain, and Former Director of the UCLA Pain Control UnitThe Pain & Stress Center was founded in 1979, but the dream started long before that. The goal is to help individuals realize their true potential and to support and conduct research in the areas of man’s greatest needed—natural alternative.
The principal areas of concentration are research and development of natural alternatives for pain, stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and depression.
Prescription drugs are not the answer.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A TRANQUILIZER DEFICIENCY!
This book will give you the information you need to begin the healing process using amino acids and nutrients that create needed neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are the KEY! By using the orthomolecular program described in this book, thousands who have suffered from anxiety, panic and fear have been helped.
"It is so good to know that there are people out there like yourself who are making a commitment to creating a difference."
