Hello Holly J,
The herbalist/nutritionist that I see is expensive and my insurance does not cover it. But your insurance might cover this type of care. My nutritionist is like a holistic doc and for me, he is addressing one issue at a time. He sees me once a month, but typically sees people every six weeks. So the expense isn't so bad as I can plan on a once a month expense of about $200 - $300. Eventually, when my body is back on track, the expense will be significantly less as I won't need to see him as often and I won't need as many supplements. I have found that it is well worth the expense. He is saying that it will take about 2-3 months for me to be back on track, but some people may need more time.
The first issue he addressed was my thyroid health and excessive epinephrine hormone levels (adrenaline). He also began treating infection that is throughout my intestines (not treatable by typical prescribed antibiotics), which also attributes to an internal inflamation, which also attributes to my throat closing issue. I noticed significant improvement within a week.
Now he is working on my menstrual hormones as they are out of wack too. Everything has been working fine with the thyroid/epinephrine treatment and then I went into my usual mentrual cycle PMS fun and the anxiety started up again. My menstrual cycle has been trouble for me for a long time, but I didn't realize that it was one of my sources of anxiety as my anxiety just started for me this last April. I just started on the menstrual hormone supplements (and also staying on the thyroid/infection supplements as well) and will let you know how it goes. He says that all my symptoms point at a "Hypothyroid", which I was actually surprised to hear because I thought I was "Hyperthyroid". Either way, the thyroid was not functioning properly and I trust his knowledge.
My friend told me about him. She said that he was hard to believe when she first saw him. He sort of came across like a farce and was very apprehensive to invest in his treatment. But she was having so much trouble with pain that she decided to give it a try and she was astounded at how well everything went for her. She said that in a week she was 90% better and after a month she was well over 100% better. I experienced the same (farce) thing with him, but because my friend had such a positive experience with him, I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did. I would not be as well as I am now if I had not. His title is Robert Thiel, Ph.D., N.H.D.
His wife was diagnosed with a disease (Lupus I think) and was suppose to be passed away 20 years ago. And his son has a disease that causes him to have seizures. The doc researched and studied his field and cured his wife and has managed his son with no troubles. He is known nationwide. And although he admittedly sais that he isn't able to help everyone, (usually because they don't stick to what he "prescribes"), people from everywhere contact him and have had great success with his help.
I notice that you are in So. Cal. You might check around there to see what is available. You may have many more opportunities than I do here on the Central Coast of CA. Here are a few web sites you might check out.

Google "Anxiety cure" and see what comes up.
Also, I want to say that although this all points at a very physical side of anxiety, I do believe that Lucinda's program is still necessary. My lifelong cycle of emotional trauma and stress is what has brought be here to my anxiety/panic. I think that Lucinda's program is meant to fix the lifestyle mess that I'm in. This in addition to the supplements, I think that this will take care of my anxiety/panic.
I hope this is helpful to you. I hope you can try it out and that it will help you. It sure helped me. If you would like to chat more, you are welcome to e-mail me at eratcliffhr@yahoo.com.
Let me know how it goes. My heart goes out to you and I will be praying for you.
Take care - Eileen

Hello again Holly J,
I wanted to add that I noticed Lucinda's program has a section that covers health, diet, supplements, etc. I hadn't started her program until today and wasn't aware that she covers this topic in the program. I know that she also offers a supplement that helps with the anxiety symptoms. There may be other supplements that she offers as well. In addition to the other info that I forwarded to you, you might want to check her web site as well for other products that she may have available. Sorry that I didn't mention it in my last post to you. Just didn't know about it until later today.
Take care - Eileen
