Re: Healthy eating as cure for anxiety

"However, diet and proper supplementation is very important."

I agree with that.  Where I get irritated is that that there are people who pop in and post on forums like this one and the cancer, and depression forums, with "breakthroughs" or "treatments" for conditions of which they themselves have little to zero knowledge.  The big one they often post is diet related.  I hit that in the cancer support group as well.  Yes diet is important but there are people frantically running around out there in the real world rushing from one meaningless engagement to another stuffing anything that can get their hands on into their pie holes on the run with a double martini lunch thrown in here and there, and they have neither depression, anxiety, panic attacks, cancer, or heart disease.  I know.  I've worked with many of them.  (I have had all of them except heart disease.)  So when someone posts a singular solution to complex problems in forums here, where we are all trying to learn from, I find it significantly condescending.  It's as if we're all a bunch of idiots.  I just don't buy it.  And yes I run into exactly the same condescending attributes in some allopathic doctors and when I find one of those guys I fire him or her.  I've done it several times.

"First step toward healing:  I love myself for who and what I am at this very moment.  Acceptance is the key and with this love and acceptance the physical, emotional, and spiritual healing can begin to take place."

I agree with that one too.  Immensely.  Yet Luella, you know as well as I do that getting there is a journey.  It doesn't happen overnight.  That is what I see on this particular forum, a need to love one's self and how one goes about doing it.  It is the embodiment of implementing the Golden Rule which was taught many years ago as: "Love thy neighbor as thyself."  Many, many nod their heads in agreement but they forget the most important part of that quote.  You have to love yourself before you can even begin to love your neighbor.  It's what we are all here learning to do.
