Some people have posted on here that they have anxiety and/or panic issues. Ive lived it for years to the nth degree, at one point having 15 hour a day panic attacks and constant anxiety. The last panic attack I had was in 2005 and if I get anxiety 1 or 2x a month on a minor level thats lots now.
The first step for me was accepting panic cant hurt me. That was in July of 2005. I remember the day clearly, I was getting an attack out of nowhere again and just decided if it was gonna happen, piss on it, I'll let it happen. After that day it never happened again. Looking back, I firmly believe now that panic attacks dont come out of nowhere. The biggest factor, imo, is thinking about them all the time. If you do, they will happen. If you accept they cant hurt you, they will go away. As a severe panic sufferer, this is easier said than done, but if I can do it, anyone can. Stress can contribute to them and so can lack of sleep. Heres one that pisses me off. People drink coffee on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and then complain about anxiety and panic. WTF do you think is gonna happen if you put caffeine into an empty system if you already have anxiety/panic issues? It's like mainlining a problem. For me also, allergies to food contributed massively to anxiety and panic. An allergic reaction can mimic the unable to breathe actions from panic. Dehydration was a major contributor also, when your body is dehydrated, your brain is dehydrated and leads to emergency signals and panic. Shoving high sugar high GI foods into your gut without anything else will spike the insulin which also will feel like panic for those who suffer from panic/anxiety.
Anxiety, a more common problem used to plague me to a major degree. It came in the form of stomach anxiety and chest tightness anxiety. Lots of similarities in why it happened as to the panic, especially in the areas of food allergies. The biggest discovery I made which, knock on wood, has made my anxiety 99% disappear was anti-histamine eating. Lots of foods contain histamine and produce histamine, and these foods were absolutely savage to my anxiety. I had absolutely no idea about this until told about it by someone else. I did extensive reading and studying on the subject and have since eaten only anti-histamine foods (I eat paleo all the time), and if I go off the mark even slightly and eat a histamine food I pay for it big time in the form of anxiety, grouchiness and overall misery. Also, the environment produces histamine in various ways, and for this I use a spray called Rhus-Toxico Dendron 3x per day which combats this histamine. I cannot speak highly enough of what these changes have done for me.
I came from years of SEVERE panic and anxiety attacks all the way to no panic and barely (1 or 2x a month) anxiety so I really believe in what worked for me. I always wanna help people who have these issues as I know how brutal and crippling they can be. Feel free to pm me anytime.
and yes, tldr, ylls, hth etc etc

I've always had a lingering sense of anxiety, I have it under control now but going back a couple of years ago I'd get super bad anxiety attacks. I would stop eating and lose tons of weight. I'll get a flare up if I'm stressed but it only lasts a couple of days than a couple of months.

Potatank, when was the last time you took steroids?
When did you begin taking the SSRI, I think it was Paxil?
-
I went through 12 months of hell with constant panic attacks and anxiety but I recovered eventually and now I very rarely am bothered by it too. I agree with you totally that caffeine and high sugar foods raise anxiety levels. Also don't forget a lot of preworkouts and "fatburners" contain substances like Yohimbine which is used to induce panic attacks in Lab rats yet a lot of people are consuming these and wonder why they end up with an anxiety problem! Personally I have not found that eating low carb does much to improve anxiety, the only thing is to avoid sugar energy drinks and very fast acting carbs, I can eat potatoes and oats, wholemeal bread and other slow releasing carbs up to 500grams a day and if anything my anxiety is lower. Being in a caloric deficit is proven to raise anxiety levels too by the way.

I last took steroids in 2012..before that 2003
I started paxil and epival 16 years ago
-
Agree about yohimbine. That stuff screws with me like a serious brain drug for some reason.
-
I've been on this earth for a while and I still don't know what the hell a "panic attack" is. Sounds very retarded. Are you just fine one minute, and then start screaming and shouting jibberish and eventually end up in a corner?
-

Same here. Yohimbe fucks me up and makes me feel like I'm having a stroke.

no wonder why you don't look like the way you want. Your test levels are those of someone your age if not worse (so low anyway) your natural gh production is/has been in the shitter...what do you expect to happen while you're lifting and eating healthy? For all the work you're doing you're gonna be very underwhelmed by the results.

Id rather have negative results than ever take steroids again. Top 5 of stupidest things Ive done in my life is do steroids.

no, it's like your body is turning against you. Imagine the greatest fear you've ever felt, I'd compare it to the time I almost lost my son at six flags, I almost went fuckin nuts in an instance. Now imagine getting that feeling over nothing at all , no reason your just driving down the road and boom you have an attack

Read up all the symptoms of a heart attack that's exactly what it feels like. Normally it's all internal and people around you can't really notice it unless your shaking.

Do you think your anti-depressant medication creates a bleak outlook on the world and causes your erectile dysfunction and non existent libido?

The pain is indescribable, very very intense, there's nowhere to turn mentally in the midst of an attack. Plenty of tough men have laughed at the idea of panic attacks... until they are hit with one. It's humbling.
-

2 and 3 yes...bleak outlook always existed

Where in the green hell do you get that Im looking for sympathy? No one else sees it. Only a drunk lonely pedophile like you sees it. Go back to creepin on underage girls and calling them "baby doll". Lol...who says that? Yes Ive seen your facebook to know tou say that.
-
Great info Josh - I've been haunted by this stuff for nearly all my life. Depends on the personality and many other factors. The diet comment is spot on too. Had I known this from the beginning there would have been way less unpleasant interruptions in my life.

Very humbling indeed

I used to laugh at anxiety and panic,until about 8 years ago and its been getting worse every day,it makes me want to kill myself although i wouldnt.I get ativan and only take it when needed maybe once or twice a week.It is a horrible feeling,i get short of breath,palpitations and dizzy,been to doc to rule things out and it all comes back to anxiety.I cant grt rid of it,if i have a couple hours a day were i dont have it im very lucky as i have it most days all day long.I dont think i will ever get it under control.It has def ruined my life.

Good stuff Josh..............I`m a complete mess and have a lot of anxiety on a daily basis.
I`ll try my best to implement some of your advice but I need my coffee in the AM,though I did cut back on it the rest of the time.
Panic attacks and anxiety,the feeling of impending doom, and making your molehills into mountains is a bitch,only someone who has the condition can truly understand how uncomfortable you can be in your own skin,usually over nothing.
Very hard to control for me.

Very hard for people to understand that dont have it as i never understood it either.Now my wife,mom,dad friends they dont get it so you feel all alone which makes it worse.Very frustrating to not be able to control this.

Some of what you say makes sense, i often find people with anxiety overfocus on peripheral details that may not have a central role. For example, your spray is a homeopathic, it's just water, there's nothing in it, it's doing nothing.
I wonder if high histamine foods have other things in them you may be attributing to histamine.
-
Very interesting/sounds scary...I have yet to witness or have one...Many take feeling normal all the time for granted and People with these conditions must see normal people and be envious
-
Donny getting owned and melting down in another thread lol. What's new lol
-
Good thread and respect all the honesty in here.
Always felt that dealing with just my addiction issues(recovering alcoholic) would make everything better, which it did and does to a certain extent, until everything the last couple of years made me just sit back and totally surrender to the fact that in my own case they went hand in hand.
The irony today is improving and maintaining my physical, mental, emotional health are all so tied together that I am unwilling to slack on any of them.Up until a few years ago I could neglect 2 out of 3 of those things, even all of them, go through hell and bounce back.
Not anymore..that is what getting older is.

create the time and space in your life to work on it, you can get it under control, have faith and move forward.

why exactly?

Steroid can really mess up the mind too. I remember Mike Mentzer writing about that but he also added to it by using speed.
When you're on steroids you feel confident. They use to label steroids in the PDR as giving a sense of well being. It's true. Again you feel confident and aggressive. When you truly go off you can feel anxiety, nervous and meek. Most guys cycle so frequently they are never off long enough to feel this. Hormones have a powerful effect on mood as any parent of a teenager can attest. Now compound this with extraneous androgen in the form of recreational steroids.
I have never heard of histamine foods. Tell me about it.

Steroids can bring forth anxiety and panic disorders in people who never had it before. It happens quite a lot actually. That's why I asked Potatank when he last used steroids.
-
My wife and my brother suffered from them. I think stress is the #1 contributing factor to them. Along with certain medications and drugs interacting with it.
-

Absolutely I think steroids can bring them up. I believe my steroid use in my 20's contributed to my panic and anxiety problems in my 30's. The doctors said what happened to me was gonna happen sooner or later, it was just a case of the rubber band waiting to snap.
-
Explain more about anti histamine eating. Curious what kind of foods. I get serious anxiety but realize that I only do it to myself but still fail to control it. I find not enough caffeine and I feel a sluggish anxiety and too much I get that panicky type. Just the right amount and I get an alert well being and controllable anxiety

I find this list to be best--I eat absolutely nothing on this list.

Interesting list. I barely eat those foods. It makes sense about pineapple. I love eating it but always get an odd physical feeling afterwards. I need to stop eating yogurt and cottage cheese. Why is it dairy causes this. Makes sense why bodybuilders hate dairy and claim it causes a thin layer of water. That water layer would be caused by the body fighting the histamines.

for me dairy causes problems cause it is the slowest digesting food. More blood is diverted to the stomach for digestion causing some emergency/anxiety signals to be sent out to. Just my opinion from what I have read. Dairy is murder for me.

A huge factor in panic anxiety disorder is ideal hydration with the correct balance of electrolytes/sodium balance. Many people seem to lean towards overhydration which dilutes the sodium levels in the body, creating a panic anxiety response. It's a tough situation. It seems to be an area of "cycles"... Anxiety breeds Anxiety, and before you know it, you're stuck in a vicious cycle that's hard to get out.
I find that if I pace myself drinking water(without pounding liter after liter in a short amount of time), I feel very calm like all functions of my body are in perfect harmony. When I used to be more addicted to water, or having the common fear of, "I'm not drinking enough, I'm getting dehydrated, etc..", I could feel the anxiousness kicking in.

agree 100%. My hydration used to be 2-4 litres of diet coke per day...and I wonder why I had anxiety. I quit pop completely and now drink 8 500ml bottles of water daily and the difference is EXTREME. And ya, I agree you can overhydrate.

Taking stimulants all the time acts on the adrenals, same as fight or flight mode, hence the anxiety. I have cut down massively on caffeine and other stims. Didnt affect me when i was early 20s but now i feel shit if i take too much caffeine.
All these young kids horsing red bull/monster/energy drinks is a ticking time bomb. Noone took coffee when i was in school (graduated school 2002) and now i see 16 year olds in gym drinking energy drinks like a whore drinks cum.
Combine this with their complete inability to socially relate to people and they will all be mental messes soon.

yup, some serious doom coming for the younger generation as they age

Of course you`re correct Josh,but I damn sure am addicted to it........especially first thing in the morning.
I`ve got an addictive personality anyway,but I will work on quitting coffee if it helps with my anxiety...............ca n`t stand the constant worrying over nothing at all.

Good post and yes,these kids are fucked.

Meditation folks.

Cortisol is super high in the morning, since it's released in order to wake the body up from sleep. Ideally, coffee should be used a few hours after awakening to be better utilized after the cortisol levels have naturally lowered. I think waking up, jacked on cortisol, then drinking a lot of coffee furthers the massive flood of autonomic arousal.
But, we're all different. You have to find what works with your own body.
-
Meditation folks.
meditation is a personal thing, you cant profess to everyone to do it. I actually tried it, and I got insanely worked up and anxious from just sitting there trying to meditate. It was so not my thing, I would rate it as one of the worst things Ive tried for panic and anxiety
-
well its the best thing for me.
perhaps really working through and releasing on a deeper level unconscious patterns of thinking,feeling and sensing is really what is needed, even though it can be very challenging.
-
The pain is indescribable, very very intense, there's nowhere to turn mentally in the midst of an attack. Plenty of tough men have laughed at the idea of panic attacks... until they are hit with one. It's humbling.
Hahahah! I remember the time crawling on the floor and thinking, this is my last day on earth :D Then it happend 2-3 more times, and then never cam back anymore accept some small stuff. Then we have next big step to experience, depression, anxiety and stress that follow :D. Life is nice!
Worst time ever in my life : ). Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run. Your trapped and fucked like a prisoner in a dark cold isolation cell.
-
Good post and yes,these kids are fucked.
I actually think it's the complete opposite, just because something hasn't been done (like coffee consumption) has no bearing on it's effect. It's well known coffee particularly black is super healthy and will create much more productive and intellectual people. We also use to have lead in our paint, we are fucked now there is no lead.
It's effects are quite helpful, it protects neurons from death and is very effective at enhancing cognition. If we want to live longer, science not nature is the answer, we are living machines.

Hormone imbalance and Depression/anxiety and Panic attacks. Cycling steroids is a pretty retarded thing to do. But getting hormone levels in check and keeping them there is one of the smartest things a person can do.

fuck yes, if hormones get out of balance too far you will feel the wrath of panic and anxiety. I feel sorry for woman in this area
-
Caffeine and stimulants like ephedrine can be both anxiolytic and anxiogenic IMO. Nicotine same thing. I know I feel less anxious on ephedrine, perhaps because it boosts mood and alleviates depression. If caffeine causes problems by all means drop it, or just use less. Coffee is healthy like Necrosis said. I don't think caffeine is evil.

Everything is under control

I think anything that causes withdrawals when you stop probably isn't a good thing. Majority of productive society is hooked on caffeine. I wonder what kind of drop in production "as a whole" the world would see if everyone stopped using caffeine at the same time? And without caffeine, would the production numbers ever get back up to where they are today...Just a guess but I don't think the numbers would be anywhere close to what they are in a world hooked on caffeine. Probably talking losses in the trillions. Because so, we will never get the truth from the media on caffeine and all it's negative effects...

I started taking magnesium pills and it helped with my anxiety. And I have baaaaad anxiety .

I didnt say caffeine was bad. I said i cut my intake a lot. Green tea with lemon and mint leaves is my wake up now.
I said overuse of stims exacts same effect as adrenaline. Edgy, in survival mode... and i was studying/working 8am to 10pm with workout at lunch back then. These lazy fucks do nothing but get hyped and watch youtube.
-
create the time and space in your life to work on it, you can get it under control, have faith and move forward.
I try to just say fuck it and not pay attention to it,then it cresps its way back in.Very fucking frustrating.I feel weak and helpless when it comes to this shit.
-
why exactly?
Probably because whenever i feel horrible i think its the years of steroid use coming back to haunt me.As someone mentioned anxiety attacks read like a heart attack or stroke.I feel that i damaged myself and will die prematurely from it.Maybe not but with anxiety it just sticks in your head.
-

I think another huge factor for me is I have absolutely no fear of death. Im gonna be 50 in a couple months, Ive already gone past what most people thought I would based on my life lol. Im completely comfortable going tomorrow or in 50 more years. Its all bonus time now.

push all those thoughts far away. Look at Frank Zane, Lee Haney, Robbie Robinson etc there doing fine.

Then what the hell do you worry about? Transcending the fear of death is something yogis meditating for years strive to attain, yet you've already attained that state of fearlessness? Rejoice then!
-

so 3 examples of people who you have no idea what they are like behind closed doors makes it all good?
listen pot pie, unless you experience a panic attack or extreme anxiety, I truly believe you have no place to comment on it. Many many many people have said if they had to choose between cancer and panic attacks, they would take cancer. You have less than zero clue what one is like

Then what the hell do you worry about? Transcending the fear of death is something yogis meditating for years strive to attain, yet you've already attained that state of fearlessness? Rejoice then!
um, what am I worrying about these days? I havent had a panic attack since 2005 and havent had anxiety at a high level in ages. Quote the exact post where it says I worry about anything? I'll be waiting for it
when BigRo posts, I honestly put my head in my hands, shake my head and hope he is trolling and not a total moron in real life. Im not even being mean here, he just comes across as fucking brain dead dumb
-
brain dead is what you are sir, keep popping those anti depressants zombie.
I know what anxiety and panic feel like.
Your not free from anxiety so don't pretend you are. Work on your mind as well as your body. Your not ready to face death consciously, I,m sure of it.

lol did I say Im free? I said I get it mildly a couple times a month. Wow, what a tool.
Heres a story for you. Your buddy junior will know exactly who Im talking about. There's this chick where I live--your age---all her social media posts are about buddha and meditation and all that garbage. She is a fucking moron, a complete and utter moron. Every person in Regina she knows acknowledges she is dumb as a post while trying to come across as some buddha/meditation twat. You are a dead ringer for her. Beyond stupid but wanting people to believe you are smart. Its essentially the same as the internet tough guy, but in this case the internet smart guy.
Ive never faked who I am. Im not the smartest guy around, not the best looking and definitely not the best built. I have mental health issues that I completely acknowledge and deal with the best I can and always speak my mind and the truth. Theres no phony with me. You CLEARLY cannot say the same. Now go show us that amazing hand speed on the heavy bag ::) ::) ::) lolol
-
you're Boring Son.
Yeah, that's what drunks use to say to sober people...
-
push all those thoughts far away. Look at Frank Zane, Lee Haney, Robbie Robinson etc there doing fine.
Believe me im trying,my father did alot of dbol,test and winstrol when he was younger and he is fine at 66,its just hard to control the thoughts when you hve anxiety cause you think they are gone and they manifest in another way.Very hard to explain but if you have had it you know what i mean.I know lots of guys juicing in their 50s and dont have a care in the world,i used to be the sane way then one day it all changed.what really sucks is most drs know nothing about anxiety and just say deal with it,i wish everyone could exoerience one day of brutal anxiety so they would get it.It truly is brutal and hard to treat correctly.Very weird when your mind goes rogue.
-
science not nature?
everything manifest is nature.
I agree, but in a practical sense no. Science is a part of nature, the part that tells the truth.

Indeed.
You and those like you who have no inner peace or spiritual elevation in them who are cynical and have their minds made up on everything like to use the dumb low iq card alot. Where has your fine intelligence got you? I dont mean materially, but in terms of well being? Not very far.
Start meditation now and realize your true nature in this birth ;)

Where did I say I have fine intelligence? Nowhere. Again and again you step up and prove yourself dumb beyond belief.
ALSO. You have, in order to further your bodybuilding career, posed naked and in ridiculous photos, and, most telling of all, stuck a mans cock in your mouth for this "career". Did that require meditation? I may have mental health issues, but I dont need to gay it up, nor would I ever want to. Did Buddha teach you to do that?

My job and life are stressfull. Anxiety for me goes on my stomach and intestin. When i'm stressed or anxious, i've got trouble to digest.
I was drinking 6 coffee at least e.d, not that misprint watery coffee you drink in usa, only genuine grounded strong coffee, plus preworkout.
I believe coffee can ruins your stomach.
I believe too much stimulant can ruin your life, always alert, never tired, always thinking about the next minute without enjoying the present, always trying to put 48 hours on a 24 horus day.
So i stopped cafeine, started magnesium before bed and listenning bill evans.
I feel like a different man now.

Plus if you're prone to high blood pressure cafein is bad. My doctor told me to stop it, and i read few studies that showed that ppl prones to hpb are more sensible to caffein than normal ppl.
I realised that caffein was my nicotine. I was always thinking about "my next coffee".
So no more caffein for me and a better life style.

Lots of good dialogue in this thread. I dealt with mental illness as a youth for about ten years. Thankfully, I was able to build my coping skills and able to move forward in my life. The things I dealt with before adulthood have proven to be a blessing because as an adult I have been able to tackle serious stuff with said coping skills in my "toolbox." My spiritual relationship has also been impactful in dealing with this stuff for me.

REPORT
Ashwagandha Stress Reduction, Neural Protection, and a Lot More from an Ancient Herb
By Dale Kiefer
Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha, an exotic Indian herb, has remarkable stress-relieving properties comparable to those of powerful drugs used to treat depression and anxiety. In addition to its excellent protective effects on the nervous system, ashwagandha may be a promising alternative treatment for a variety of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Ashwagandha has powerful antioxidant properties that seek and destroy the free radicals that have been implicated in aging and numerous disease states. Even more remarkable, emerging evidence suggests that ashwagandha has anti-cancer benefits as well.
Powerful Protective Effects on the Nervous System
Stress, environmental toxins, and poor nutrition all have a detrimental impact on our nervous systems.
Scientific studies support ashwagandha’s ability not only to relieve stress, but also to protect brain cells against the deleterious effects of our modern lifestyles.
For example, in validated models of anxiety and depression, ashwagandha has been demonstrated to be as effective as some tranquilizers and antidepressant drugs. Specifically, oral administration of ashwagandha for five days suggested anxiety-relieving effects similar to those achieved by the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam (Ativan®), and antidepressant effects similar to those of the prescription antidepressant drug imipramine (Tofranil®).1
Stress can cause increased peroxidation of lipids, while decreasing levels of the antioxidant enzymes catalase and glutathione peroxidase. When ashwagandha extract was administered by re-searchers one hour before a daily stress-inducing procedure, all of the aforementioned parameters of free radical damage normalized in a dose-dependent manner.2 Premature aging associated with chronic nervous tension may be related to increased oxidative stress, which is abolished by the potent antioxidant properties of ashwagandha extract. Researchers believe this finding supports the clinical use of ashwagandha as an anti-stress agent.
Other studies of chronic stress support these findings. For example, in a remarkable animal study, examination of the brains of sacrificed animals showed that 85% of the brain cells observed in the animals exposed to chronic stress showed signs of degeneration. It is this type of cellular degeneration that can lead to long-term cognitive difficulties. Amazingly, when ashwagandha was administered to chronically stressed animals, the number of degenerating brain cells was reduced by 80%!3
In one of the most complete human clinical trials to date, researchers studied the effects of a standardized extract of ashwagandha on the negative effects of stress, including elevated levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Many of the adverse effects of stress are thought to be related to elevated levels of cortisol. The results were impressive. The participants subjectively reported increased energy, reduced fatigue, better sleep, and an enhanced sense of well-being. The participants showed several measurable improvements, including a reduction of cortisol levels up to 26%, a decline in fasting blood sugar levels, and improved lipid profiles. It would appear from this study that ashwagandha can address many of the health and psychological issues that plague today’s society.4
Over the past five years, the Institute of Natural Medicine at the Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University in Japan has conducted extensive research into the brain benefits of ashwagandha. The Institute’s scientists were looking for ways to encourage the regeneration of nerve cell components called axons and dendrites in validated models of the human brain. This important research may one day benefit those who have incurred brain injuries due to physical trauma, as well as those who suffer cognitive decline due to destruction of the nerve cell networks from diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Using a validated model of damaged nerve cells and impaired nerve-signaling pathways, re-searchers noted that ashwagandha supported significant regeneration of the axons and dendrites of nerve cells. Furthermore, ashwagandha extract supported the reconstruction of synapses, the junctions where nerve cells communicate with other cells. The investigators concluded that ashwagandha extract helps to reconstruct networks of the nervous system, making it a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.5
In another study at the same institute, researchers found that ashwagandha helped support the growth of nerve cell dendrites, which allow these cells to receive communications from other cells. This finding suggests that ashwagandha could help heal the brain tissue changes that accompany dementia.6
Finally, in a third published study, the researchers noted that ashwagandha helped promote the growth of both normal and damaged nerve cells, suggesting that the herb may boost healthy brain cell function as well as benefit diseased nerve cells.7
These findings provide tremendous hope that ashwagandha extracts may one day help heal neurodegenerative diseases in humans, freeing patients from the mental prisons of dementia and Alzheimer’s. Clearly, this is just the beginning of research into ashwagandha’s ability to encourage physical re-growth of the brain.
Ashwagandha also shows promise as a treatment for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, chronic neurodegenerative conditions for which there currently are no cures. In a recent study using a standardized model of human Parkinson’s disease, ashwagandha extract reversed all the parameters of Parkinson’s-type neurodegeneration significantly and in a dose-dependent manner.8 Remarkably, an earlier study showed that ashwagandha extract inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down one of the brain’s key chemical messengers. Drugs currently used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, such as Aricept®, act in this very manner to slow the progression of this frightening, mind-robbing disease.9
Studies Suggest Potent Anti-Cancer Activity
In addition to ashwagandha’s documented neuroprotective effects, exciting recent evidence suggests that it also has the potential to stop cancer cells in their tracks. For example, a recent analysis showed that ashwagandha extract inhibited the growth of human breast, lung, and colon cancer cell lines in the laboratory. This inhibition was comparable to that achieved with the common cancer chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (Caelyx®, Myocet®). In fact, researchers reported that withaferin A, a specific compound extracted from ashwagandha, was more effective than doxorubicin in inhibiting breast and colon cancer cell growth.11,14
Scientists in India recently conducted cell studies showing that ashwagandha extract disrupts cancer cells’ ability to reproduce—a key step in fighting cancer. Additionally, laboratory analysis indicates that ashwagandha extract possesses anti-angiogenic activity, also known as the ability to prevent cancer from forming new blood vessels to support its unbridled growth. These findings lend further support to ashwagandha’s potential role in fighting cancer.15 Based on these studies, research in this area continues.
In another study, orally administered ashwagandha extract significantly inhibited experimentally induced stomach cancer in laboratory animals. Tumor incidence was reduced by 60% and tumor multiplicity (number) by 92%. Similarly, in a rodent model of skin cancer, ashwagandha inhibited tumor incidence and multiplicity by 45% and 71%, respectively.16 Ashwagandha’s protective effect against skin cancer has been shown in other studies as well.17
A recent experiment demonstrated that ashwagandha extract produced a marked increase in life span and a decrease in tumor weight in animals with experimentally induced cancer of the lymphatic system.18 This is an exciting finding, suggesting that ashwagandha could enhance survival in individuals with cancer.
Ashwagandha's Pharmacological Activity
Scientists speculate that some of ashwagandha’s benefits stem from its antioxidant properties and ability to scavenge free radicals.10
Two main classes of compounds—steroidal alkaloids and steroidal lactones—may account for its broad range of beneficial effects. Steroidal lactones comprise a class of constituents called withanolides. To date, scientists have identified and studied at least 12 alkaloids and 35 withanolides. Much of ashwagandha’s pharmacological activity has been attributed to two primary withanolides, withaferin A and withanolide D.11
Other studies reveal that ashwagandha has antimicrobial properties, with antibacterial activity against potentially dangerous bacteria, including Salmonella, an organism associated with food poisoning. This activity was demonstrated in cell cultures as well as in infected laboratory animals.12
Additional studies show that ashwagandha root extract enhances the ability of macrophage immune cells to “eat” pathogens, as compared to macrophages from a control group that did not receive ashwagandha.13
Ashwagandha extract may also have applications as an adjunct to cancer chemotherapy treatment. One of the consequences of chemotherapy is neutropenia, a decrease in white blood cells called neutrophils that can leave patients dangerously vulnerable to infection. A study of animals demonstrated that orally administered ashwagandha extract protected against this decline in infection-fighting neutrophils. While further human studies are needed, these findings suggest that ashwagandha may be an excellent adjunctive therapy to chemotherapy.19
Another animal study investigated ashwagandha extract’s effects in normalizing the immune-suppressing effects of chemotherapy. When test animals received a common chemotherapy drug, levels of the desirable immune factors interferon-gamma and interleukin-2 decreased.
When the animals also received orally administered ashwagandha extract, however, their immune system parameters remained normal. These findings add support to the idea that ashwagandha may help protect immune function during chemotherapy treatment.20
Conclusion
Chronic stress exacts a high price from our bodies as well as our minds. Many degenerative diseases, as well as premature aging, are associated with chronic nervous tension. There is great need for safe and effective prevention strategies to combat the ravages of stress on our nervous system.
Ashwagandha, an exotic Indian herb, has demonstrated anti-anxiety and neuroprotective effects, and tantalizing evidence suggests that it is also a cancer fighter. Animal toxicity studies indicate that this remarkable plant is safe and well tolerated.21

stress is a killer. Like alcohol, smoking and various drug.
But stress is insidious. For me stress = high bp, trouble digesting, and eczema on my abs. The stress is killing you slowly, day after day.
So, be quiet.

I usually have 3 ,8 oz. cups of coffeee in the AM then I go train and then to work.................cut back to 2 cups so far and it was tough.
I feel like shit so early in the morning but I know the caffeine isn`t helping my anxiety,in fact I think it contributes to it.
-
Caffeine makes blood sugar do some wonky things, which can contribute to panic-anxiety too.

I can tell you this as a former caffeine junky. It is making your anxiety much much worse.
It sucks for us early birds, but I drink a diet mountain dew on my drive to work and that's it for the day. It took me about 2 months to stop drinking coffee like a madman. I feel much less on edge these days.
You get used to it, but it takes time.

I notice my sleep is solid during the night now, without caffeine. For a long time, it felt like everything was building up in my system and I couldn't get the correct type of sleep. Now, I'm out in about 3 minutes after laying down and my heart beat isn't as heavy and the crazy dreams are gone(without waking up in a panic attack).
To be honest, I have more serious energy getting my ideal hydration in order. The correct amount of fluids seems to super charge my endurance. Imagine that ;)
The bottom line is figuring out what works for you, just like anything else.

I didnt say caffeine was bad. I said i cut my intake a lot. Green tea with lemon and mint leaves is my wake up now.
I said overuse of stims exacts same effect as adrenaline. Edgy, in survival mode... and i was studying/working 8am to 10pm with workout at lunch back then. These lazy fucks do nothing but get hyped and watch youtube.
NO SHIT, Caffeine directly stimulates the release of adrenaline. So it is not "having the same effect" it is literally causing your body to release the hormone.
