Since I was five years old, I struggled with a severe speech impediment called stuttering. When I just began to stutter, there were only small hesitations in my speech. As I got into a social environment, other problems began to surface.

Particularly, I started to worry excessively about handling social situations that regularly took place in school. I felt anxious even when I was coming home from school. I still remember hiding under bed and not wanting to go out to play with other kids when I was a little. There were feelings of dread when I was attending classes because there was always a possibility of being called on in one of those classes. In school, I used to get so anxious I began having stomach problems.

I could not control constant anxious thoughts throughout day. I started skipping school. Nevertheless, the anxiety never went away even when I kept my mouth shut. I developed obsessive/compulsive behaviors. To my own suprise, I stayed in high school till I graduated.

I tried various conventional therapies in high school and in college. They were never successful even when I worked on my speech disorder. As I suspect the main reason why they all failed to work was because the underlying anxiety was never treated. Modern medicine simply does not have very effective tools for treating it.

Frustrated and depressed, I went to see a few medical doctors. The list of doctors included a psychiatrist and a primary care physician to get some kind of conventional treatment. Psychiatrists classify stuttering is a generalized anxiety disorder. For months at a time, I was swallowing different medications. I thought there was some improvement in my anxiety levels. However, I did not care anymore. I started to worry about various serious side effects of these medications that I experienced regularly since I started taking them. I was worrying more about the side effects than I was about the stuttering. Hey, if you have a horrible stomach ache continiously and your nose bleeds nonstop, you will think less of stuttering.

Another very unpleasant "side effect" of these medications is that I was broke again. Some of these medications ended up costing me about $200 a week. I had to stop using medications because of the side effects and because I could no longer pay for them anyway. Needless to say, all those doctors were not cheap either.

At the same time I was going to the medical doctors, I began reading all the books that I could find at my local bookstores about conventional medicine and alternative therapies. Of course, I could not buy every book that I was reading. However, Barnes & Noble and Borders became the places where I had spent the majority of my time. Reading those books eventually motivated me to begin seeing herbalists, hypnotists, acupunturists, flower essence practitioners, naturopaths, energy medicine practitioners, and homeopaths. I had seen them for many years. I never regret seeing those alternative medicine practitioners because I was beginning to get answers. I got control over stuttering. I finally got control over all symptoms that surround anxiety. I was eventually able to stop obsessive/compulsive behaviors.

After so many years of research and my own experimentation, I came up with the best natural remedies that can be used for generalized anxiety disorder. I learned to combine them into one therapy program.

Natural Therapy for Anxiety Disorders has some components that my original therapy program for stuttering had minus its speech component. It has been revised and tailored more for people with generalized anxiety disorder.

Since I have my own personal experiences with anxiety/mood disorders and years of experiemtation with alternative medicine therapies, I recently decided to open my own online company that would create natural products and programs for people with anxiety/mood disorders that can be used without leaving home.
