Some things help some people and somethings don't this doesn't help me. It made me worse, I can't have things over my face or on my face that includes touching a bag to my face.

What helps me is doing relaxation visualizations for example. I love warm summer weather so I close my eyes and imagine sitting or laying out in the sun and that the sun is warming my body from head to toe and at the same time I put my hand on my belly and breath so that my belly moves not my chest. To breath like that you have to breath slow and deep which of course stops the hyperventilating and the visualixation of the warn son calms and stops the panic.

My therapist and I also do relaxation visualizations during sessions and we record them so that I can do them on my own too.

As for high cholestorol and so on. since I have an eating disorder and health problems I can't just follow any exercise and diet programs. The best thing for me is to follow my physicians plans. If I took the magnesium you are suggesting it would throw off my blood and nutricianal counts. My doctor says no to even echinasea and vitimins unless my blood counts say I need them. otherwise I could end up storing to much iron magnesuim and so on and that leads to even more health problems.

Great ideas though for those that can mess around with diet plans, exercise plans and suppliments.

I would also like to suggest that before anyone messes with their programs and so on that they consult their family physician so that they know what plans are right for them. that way they won't be adding magnesuim when their magnesuim count is already where it belongs and so on.
