Guest guest Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I would actually suggest that this mom have a hair test from DDI, but not until a few months after she's done breastfeeding, so as to get a more accurate test. It sounds like she might benefit from the info it could provide. In the meantime, it maybe that her adrenals are shot. If that is the case, I would suggest Adrenal Cortex supplement, along with a B100 and a couple grams of C divided up into 4 doses a day. To give you an idea, my son who weighed around 40 pounds at the time needed 750 mgs of AC a day. Tyrosine can also help some people with anxiety. I'd also supplement with a very good source of omega 3's. I'd also increase magnesium, maybe to quite high levels, as people can be very low in it. She may be esp low in lots of stuff since she just had the baby. The two you suggest below may also be helpful. Some people have anxiety related to blood sugar lows. Does she eat small, frequent meals with protein? Also, chromium and vanadium can help with blood sugar regulation. She is smart to worry that it will impact her baby. Sadly, we pass the same crap on that made us sick in the first place: toxicities, nutritional deficiencies, fragilities, etc. Anita > > hi everyone just posting this as a favour to a friend who has suffered > for years from anxiety and she has recently had a baby (3/12months ago) > and is feeling REALLY anxious and I wondered if perhaps she could take > things like 5htp and l'theanine and also GABA?She is willing to try > anything as the anxiety is sooo crippling that it is affecting her > entire life and she worries even more that feeling so anxious will > affect the baby too help!!!
