Re: Magnesium Oil and OCD

French fries cooked in vegetable oil is one of the unhealthiest things that you could consume.  Whatever relief you are feeling, it will be short-lived, and in the meantime you are risking harming your health.

What is the extent of your OCD?  Is it merely the rituals in doing things or are you also bothered by bad (or terrifying) thoughts?  Do you also suffer from anxiety and depression by chance?

The following supplements should bring relief, but with an obsessive compulsive disorder, you may also have to consciously work with it and, depending on the severety and the source of these actions, therapy may be necessary.  However, if a therapist or psychologist should ever suggest antidepressants or any type of medication, I would look for another therapist.  One simple exercise when addressing OCD is when you get a disturbing thought, don't give it importance.  And this takes practice.  When you notice it, just shrug it off.  Sometimes actually shrugging your shoulders helps.  Then, do deep breathing and relax, and envision the thought leaving, for example from out of the side of your head.  There are other exercises that you can do to stop the rituals.  However, there may be deeper emotional reasons for this behavior and this is where a good therapist can be of benefit.  They can also give you exercises and teach you some coping techniques.

These are the supplements:

Colloidal Gold improves neural communication in the brain. It is believed to be responsible for reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.  I have linked this product to Utopia Silver that is a Curezone sponsor.  They have certain discounts only for Curezone members.  Should you decide to order this supplement from them, if you are a first time buyer you will receive one bottle free for every 8 oz bottle you order.  But you must call them to receive this offer, as it is only available to Curezone members.  After that, coupon code LR001 will get you a 15% discount if it is not on sale.

Oleander Extract has demonstrated effectiveness against many conditions, including anxiety.

5-HTP turns into serotonin. Serotonin is important in regulating anxiety.

I-Theanine is a natural relaxant which supports the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

GABA - Low levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid may be responsible for a person not being able to handle day-to-day stress. GABA decreases anxiety, induces relaxation and increases alertness.

KAVA elevates mood, wellbeing and contentment.

Hawthorne Berry Syrup, besides supporting the cardiovascular system, has been reported to be beneficial for heart symptoms suffered during anxiety and panic attacks.

Iodine Supplementation. Oftentimes, anxiety is the result of an iodine deficiency. It is recommended that anyone suffering from anxiety and panic symptoms have their thyroid checked.  You may also want to pop into the iodine forum for specific advice.

Bach Flower Remedies aid in relieving a variety of emotional disorders.

Magnesium should also help.  However, calcium is also needed for the proper absorption of magnesium.  Supplementing with these two minerals should be done at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 magnesium to calcium.

Diet is also crucial in eliminating these symptoms.  Substances found in an unhealthy diet contribute to these types of disorders.  Eliminate sugar, processed foods, junk foods, fast foods, vegetable, canola, corn, and all unhealthy oils, sodas, etc.  Eat as many raw fruits and vegetables as possible.  Your diet should comprise of 80% raw, 20% cooked, consisting of chicken, turkey, and fresh water fish.  No red meats.
