Andre Agassi Took Drugs

Posted on 31 October 2009 by admin

Andre Agassi this week revealed he took crystal meth. He took it at a low point. He didn’t get addicted. He didn’t sink into a life of indulgence and squalor. And he did not suffer panic attacks. Rather he used it to power him on the drag his tennis ranking from being ranked outside the top 100 to winning several more GrandSlams. He felt euphoric and energised.

Agassi, was lucky however that he did not get addicted and take a slippery slope towards panic attack symptoms and paranoia.

And for most people it is a slippery slope. For example I start each morning with a coffee. Coffee is a drug! It’s a psychoactive stimulant drug. Studies have shown that heavy and prolonged use can induce panic attacks, OCD and even phobic symptoms mimicking mental diseases such as bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These symptoms may afflict as many as one in 10 of the population.

And coffee is addictive! I had better watch my intake!

What about alcohol?

Alcohol is rated as the fifth most harmful drug after cocaine, heroin, barbiturates, and methadone. The misuse of alcohol causes an estimated 22,000 premature deaths each year in the UK. (To put this into perspective, the illegal drug ecstasy kills 30 people a year). We know alcohol is addicitive too and creates many problems in society and damages family relationships when it spirals out of control. When misused it also makes it more likely for someone to suffer paranoia and panic attacks.

Smoking cannabis is also known to create an increased risk of psychotic illness. Smokers of cannabis are more likely to suffer panic attack symptoms and 2.6 times more likely to have a psychotic-like experience than non-smokers.

So watch your drug use- what starts out as recreational may start to control your life. If you do have any panic attack symptoms click, here to get help straight away…..

Michael Jackson Suffers Panic Attacks

Posted on 27 June 2009 by admin

Legendary musician Michael Jackson who has sadly passed away age 50 was well known for suffering several confirmed health problems as well as some rumored ailments.

In 1984 he suffered burns whilst filming a Pepsi commercial and had to have major surgery on his scalp. He suffered intense pain and this is when it was thought he became addicted to painkillers. He is reported to have several skin disorders including lupus.

In 1993, Jackson’s dermatologist, Arnold Klein, released a statement saying Jackson had a rare skin disease called vitiligo. This causes the sufferer to lose melanin. Jackson was also hospitalized with chest pain in 1990. A concert tour was cut short in November 1993 because of an addiction to prescription painkillers.

In 1995, Jackson was rushed to a hospital after collapsing during rehearsals for a televised performance; the incident was reportedly caused by a stress related panic attack.
Another time, The National Enquirer reported that Michael Jackson was so stricken with panic attacks that at the MTV video awards, he almost did not go on stage to collect an award from Britney Spears.

In 2005, Jackson went to a hospital for treatment of what his spokeswoman said was recurring back pain. More rumors emerged in May 2009 that Jackson had skin cancer.

Michael Jackson has admitted he had a troubled childhood, his father admitted he whipped him for minor offences like missing a note. During one interview, Michael reported that he became emotional and vomited before meeting his father. In court documents, mental health experts had the opinion that Jackson was psychologically a regressed 10 yr old.
It seems clear that Michael Jackson was suffering serious mental health issues as well as addictions to several drugs.

Hopefully we can learn from his experience and take action before things become overwhelming and out of control.

God bless him and his family.

The Linden Method-Read This First…

Posted on 24 May 2009 by admin

As many of you know I overcome my panic attacks by using Joe Barry’s wonderful program called “Panic Away” and I thoroughly recommend it. It is totally natural, there are no drugs involved and worked fast- for me- 3 days! And I have not had one since!

However different approaches work for different people. A very good friend of mine called Sasha has just has a wonderful new lease of life using The Linden Method.

It took her 19 days to say she felt completely recovered. She had suffered for 6 years and was unable to leave her home due to agoraphobia. She had got into a vicious cycle of fatigue, anti depressants, psychiatrists and avoiding most situations involving other people.

I saw her last week- we went out to lunch (for the first time in years) and she told me she had returned to work and was feeling relaxed and confident. The happiness in her face was so beautiful to see. I truly could not believe the transformation I saw in her.

Charles Linden was a former sufferer like us and went through many years of searching for a solution. He discovered that there is a small organ in the brain called the Amygdala, which is responsible for the symptoms of panic attack.

Charles’ program addresses the dysfunction in the Amygdala which is why it is so effective. I have uploaded quite a moving video Charles has done explaining his initial panic attacks and how his method works for you. Best of all he 100% guarantees his program- if it doesnt work for any reason- you pay absolutely nothing…

His program is used by government, medical professionals and the public. It is a clear, concise method of what to do and what not to do in order to free yourself from your symptoms.

Charles provides outstanding audio, video material and is available on email or over the phone support and advice when YOU need it for up to 1 year-FREE!

His method does not require learning, self hypnosis or exercises. Just read and implement- it is that easy. As well as the full method explained you will also get bonus audio and videos…click here to see the full details:

Guys: if you are still unsure; you get to try it free anyway for 56 days. If for any reason it does not work, simply get a refund! No questions asked! It’s a no brainer! What have you got to lose?

If you are suffering panic attacks or anxiety disorders, I urge you to try “Panic Away” or “The Linden Method” and get started in the next 10 minutes.

Do not leave your life on hold any longer!

And most importantly….don’t forget to let me know how you got on!

Symptoms of Panic Attacks

Posted on 04 May 2009 by admin

Panic and anxiety attack can make you feel like you are having a heart attack. Always be sure to get yourself fully checked out by your medical professional just to be sure you have an accurate diagnosis. Generally the chest pains are caused by excess muscle tension and the symptoms will decrease with deep breathing and massage.

 

Your heart may pound and cause you to feel short of breath, dizzy, nauseated and flushed. You may hyperventilate and get abdominal cramping. Sometimes panic attacks begin suddenly, without warning. Most panic attacks last about half an hour but sometimes they may last a day or longer. Some people experience extreme fatigue after one then panic about when the next one will occur.

Difficulty swallowing can be another unpleasant symptom. It is totally harmless and will not cause you to stop breathing. Some people go white during an anxiety attack. This is due to the” fight or flight response and the blood moving in towards the muscles.

Sweating is common and a normal response to cool the body when you get hot flushes. Many sufferers experience vomiting, diarrhea and indigestion as a result of the blood moving towards the muscles and away from the stomach.

If your symptoms become regular and frequent you may have developed panic disorder. If they become prolonged you may develop agoraphobia because you are unable to leave your house. This is a natural response to feeling threatened. It is important to get help to regain control as quickly as possible as avoidance of situations will not help.

Other symptoms that occur include insomnia, hallucinations, pins and needles, hyperactivity and derealisation- where you feel dissociated from the real world.

As well as physical symptoms, many panic disorder sufferers experience emotional and psychological symptoms like depression, fear of going mad, suicidal feelings and aggression. Sometimes there are confused messages gong to the brain and altered body chemistry. As you learn to relax these feelings will disappear.
