Adrenal Cortex Extract.
I think what we miss almost all the time when trying to treat anxiety is that we feel like we are trying to calm down a runaway train. While benzos and such temporarily put that train on an uphill slant that slows it down, the train is still in runaway mode.
Complicated and lengthy to explain, but we are talking about adrenal function quite messed up. Stress or illness starts it, weak adrenals makes it worse, then it is a selffullfilling things when the symptoms themselves continue to make the underlying cause even worse. To put a stop to the madness, take a load off the adrenals. Tell them to rest. That can be done with Adrenal Cortex. It might sound weird that feeding the adrenals food that makes more adrenaline would calm things down, but that is what usually happens, by way of the feedback loops kicking in.
