I have no idea what that stuff does to your body. I'll try looking into it, but I don't think I'll find much. I think the following suggestions would help someone suffering from some kind of post-traumatic stress, which perhaps is related. I wrote this originally for depression/ anxiety. make sure you give ginseng pills a try. anyone who is depressive should take a good multivitamin most days with a meal. while you are at it take a calcium-magnesium-zinc pill. I won't go in to detail here about why. just do it, it's not that expensive. also, get lots of beneficial fatty acids - particularly omega-3. take a couple grams of fish oil daily. then try getting lots of sunlight. get some vigorous cardiovascular exercise as often as you can. practise good posture and learn a little about basic yoga postures and t'ai chi warmups. eat a varied very high protein, high fiber diet low in saturated fats and refined carbs. shun additives and preservatives. you want whole foods, not overcooked. eat leafy greens and colourful vegetables. eat tree nuts,eat fish, eat more fish, the more nutritious fruits (berries, etc.), herbs, and some WHOLE grains. don't eat sweets or drink sweet/ sour drinks. instead eat fruit. diet really really really matters. it has a slow cumulative effect. stay hydrated. this can be a matter of simply avoiding certain foods that dehydrate you. try to get plenty of regular, restful sleep. that's all that comes to mind. you might wanna check if you notice any effect from ginseng pills. watch the caffeine, especially late in the day. good luck. i also think you should try the following for a month and decide if you think it might be helpful: whenever you shower, when you are about finished, turn the water to all cold, or as close as you can handle. do whatever you want; tense up, or relax. but sit in the cold for a minute. afterwards, go hot, and then if you are not in a hurry go back to cold for a minute. repeat one more time if you want. |
