A Panic Attack is a distinct episode of anxiety, the onset of which is sudden, and the duration relatively short. During a panic attack symptoms of anxiety are severe, intense and overwhelming, so much so that many people end up in A&E fearing that they are having a heart attack. Repeated Panic Attacks, where an individual’s biggest fear is having another Panic Attack and where this fear is interfering with their ability to do everyday things, is called Panic Disorder. This page deals with Panic Disorder as this is a problem for which people need to seek help.
Do you have an overwhelming fear of having a Panic Attack? Do you worry about fainting or collapsing in public? Do you worry that you are going to cause a scene as a result of feeling anxious? Do you worry that you are going to go mad when you feel anxious? Do you worry that you will suffocate or have a heart attack when you start to feel anxious? Do you avoid situations that make you feel anxious or always make sure you have an exit strategy? Do you experience 1 or more of the following physical symptoms:
If you have answered ‘yes’ to one of more of these questions you may benefit from some counselling for panic attacks.
“My experience of therapy has not only been positive, but effectively lifesaving. When I sought help, my anxiety was so bad I couldn’t sleep for more than 30 mins at a time, I had multiple panic attacks per day, and could barely leave my home. I had also been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which interfered with my life so badly I couldn’t work, study, or have a social life. I sought therapy through Skype, as the idea of going out to an appointment was too overwhelming. Within 2 or 3 months, my condition had improved so much I was back at work part-time, I was controlling my panic attacks enough to have a social life, and 5 months after that went back to university. The CBT we worked with in sessions (and the individual work I did outside of the sessions by myself) was able to cure my CFS (a controversial statement, but I can say that this no longer affects my life in any way), and get a strong handle on my anxiety, meaning the idea of any future panic attacks no longer scared me: I had a fool-proof way of dealing with them”.
One of our Therapists will meet with you to find out more about your panic attacks, the concerns that you have about them and their impact on your life, relationships, responsibilities and self-esteem. They will also ask you what you would like to achieve through your counselling and then use this information to tailor a therapy programme to exactly what you need.
You will begin by learning about anxiety and panic attacks, why we have them and their effect on our mind and bodies. This knowledge will place you in the strongest position from which to resolve your symptoms.
You will then work with your Therapist to identify the thoughts that are triggering your anxiety and where appropriate, develop alternative thoughts that are more accurate and helpful to replace them. Over time these will induce feelings of balance and calm.
In preparation for step 5 your Therapist with teach you strategies to reduce your anxiety to a more manageable level.
The next step will be to identify the things that you are doing which are keeping you stuck and preventing you from resolving your difficulties (e.g. avoiding situations). Your Therapist will then structure a programme that will enable you to gradually make changes here.
You will then work with your Therapist to build up your self-esteem and confidence to speed your recovery and protect you against future relapse of symptoms.
After experiencing an initial attack (usually triggered by high levels of stress), panic attacks will develop into a Panic Disorder if an individual becomes so fearful of experiencing another attack that they become hyper vigilant of physiological changes in their body, interpreting benign shifts (such as increased heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness due to exercise, getting up to quickly, and drinking coffee) as signs of another attack. The factors that place someone at risk of making these misinterpretations are a combination of catastrophic thinking patterns (a person tends to make the worst case scenario into the reality) and early experiences where they have learnt that they are at risk and ill-equipped to deal with that risk (for more information see our Anxiety Page).
The government body NICE recommends the same treatment for Panic Disorder as for other types of Anxiety (see link to our Anxiety page) with the exception of the use of Benzodiazepines (e.g. diazepam) which should not be prescribed.
From this Wikipedia article, I read that Sauerkraut has been fermented by lactic-acid bacteria, giving it its distinctive sour flavour. This fermentation process also makes sure that Sauerkraut can be stored for long times (months) without the need for refridgeration – which once was the primary reason for creating the stuff in the first place.
This ability to store Sauerkraut for long times means that pasteurization is not necessary. Also, pasteurization may kill most of the bacteria you seem to be looking for.
About boiling Sauerkraut: that’s the way it is traditionally consumed in my country. It is then a main course. You may also use it as a side dish, without it having been heated. Even then, of course, pasteurization is not needed.
Note that Sauerkraut was used as one of the main foods during winter and early spring by most of the population during the middle ages, and by travelling salesmen and armies alike during the entire year – without any pasteurization. For the same reason yoghurt is never pasteurized, Sauerkraut needs no pasteurization either.
It doesn’t matter whether it needs pasteurisation, it comes that way in most supermarkets and is very commonly processed into jars that way.
It is done to keep an even longer shelf-life, so therefore it is done for long-term selling in supermarkets. Just because it isn’t done in your country doesn’t mean that what I’m saying is “wrong”.
I bought some pasteurised sauerkraut last year and it said use by 2015. Unpasteurised doesn’t last that long. It will spoil way before then.
I suggest you check your attitude at the door before posting on things you don’t know everything about.
I went to whole foods and my local nutrition store and all of the chickory coffee contains barley. Is barley acceptable on the “strict diet”?
I purchased an Ayurvedic Coffee and it hasn’t created any issues as near as I can tell. I havent had any in over a week though. Here are the ingredients:
I’d get organic chickory where chickory is the only ingredient. They may sell some in the herbs section. You can order online or grow in garden as well.
Thanks for the advice Raster. Much appreciated, we are beginning to plan our garden for this year. I will add that in. I’m still interested to know if any of the ingredients are already known to cause flare ups.

Funbuzz, I purchase mine from Nuts.com. The only ingredient is Chicory. I have been using the company for years and they produce great quality products. The version I buy is not organic. The price is 6.99 for 1lb. I think Chicory should be definite for all on this diet based on it’s high Prebiotic %. Able drank it for several months during his treatment and is healed now;further proof it’s a good choice. I have really grown to like it and drink it without any coconut milk, just a dash of cinnamon.
I personally wouldn’t consume something that has grains in the ingredients such as barley and rye. Whole foods will take it back if you don’t like this…
I would definitely avoid the glutenous grains it contains (barley, rye). Mountain Rose Herbs sells very high-quality herbs in bulk online, and I suspect you can get chicory from them.
You can go online to vitacost.com and order chickory root coffee. Chickory root is the only ingredient. I notice a significant reduction in my blood sugar. Great for me since I’m a diabetic. It is roasted chickory. The best that I can find and I havbe been looking for quite a while. Good luck
One of the most common questions new cigar smokers ask is, “What is a humidor and why are they so important?”
A nipple piercing is a body piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple. It can be pierced at any angle but is usually done horizontally or, less often, vertically. It is also possible to place multiple piercings on top of one another. The perforation of the nipple to apply jewelry has been practiced by various people throughout history, male and female. Why do people get their nipples pierced you ask? Most men and women claim an increase in sensitivity and arousal after having their nipples pierced. As a result there has been a reported increase of men and women requesting this procedure.
While there are not many potential complications some people have noted that they can take up to a year and a half to heal fully. The nipple is typically fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection. However, if the nipple jewelry gauge is too thin or the piercing is not deep enough to begin with, there is a risk of rejection. Certain complications can make rejection more likely, such as metal allergies, infections, or excessive pulling/tugging. If your nipples are sore during the healing process, an ice pack can do wonders. If you don’t have an ice pack, a package of small frozen vegetables like peas or corn works really well. Also salt water soaks will provide comfort to a sore nipple piercing. Most nipples will rest comfortably in a small cup of salt water, so this can be done easily while watching TV, reading a book or relaxing. Soak each pierced nipple for about 5 minutes and then rinse well. During the day or for an easier solution you can simply use the H20cean Piercing Aftercare Spray which is made for piercing aftercare.
To avoid any complications you will need to care for your piercing! First you need to soak the piercing in an epsom salt water solution for about 5-10 minutes. Once you’ve soaked the piercing you will need to properly clean and disinfect the area. Wipe away all the dry and dead skin, then apply liquid soap on a q-tip or cotton ball and gently clean the area. Rinse the area well and be sure to get all the soap off. After you’ve soaked and thoroughly cleaned your piercing, you can finish with the saline solution. Squirt the entire piercing with the saline and then rotate your piercing very carefully to prevent the skin growing to the piercing. You will also need to make sure your nipples stay off limits until healed so as to not suffer setbacks.
Nipple piercing jewelry can come in a variety of choices! One of which is barbells, which includes straight barbells, circular barbells, curved barbell, and spirals. You may also choose to wear a ring which could be a fixed ring, or a captive ring. A few other choices are stirrups, shields, collars, whirls, rounders, clamps, discs, spirals, covers, caps, and swings. With so many choices how do you choose? Well its really a matter of personality and what you find attractive! Don’t limit yourself be open to different options! Just make sure the material they are made from is safe! Usually you want to stick with Surgical Steel, Gold, Hybrids, or Titanium, some others that are commonly used are , blackline, and acrylic pieces.
A common question that comes up for women is, will nipple piercings affect the ability to breastfeed? There is no evidence that pierced nipples will affect your ability to breastfeed. Your breasts will still produce adequate milk for your baby. Each nipple has between fifteen and twenty tiny nipple pores that the milk comes out of, so even if some were damaged, there should be plenty left for nursing. However there is always the chance of complications that are not the norm, and can not be accounted for so it is each woman’s decision.
There however are several complications resulting from nursing with nipple jewelry inserted can include poor latch, slurping, gagging, and milk leaking from the baby’s mouth. So it is best to remove nipple piercings before breastfeeding. Most body piercing Professionals however will refuse to pierce a pregnant woman because piercing causes stress on the body that could potentially complicate a pregnancy.
By following these guidelines and your piercers advice you should be able to avoid complications and enjoy your piercings to the fullest!

Complete your shirt with a suitable tie that matches the rest of your outfit. The color of your tie should closely complement your shirt, whether in the "background" of the tie or inside of a subtle pattern on the tie. Striped ties are classic and conservative, while solid ties are generally more formal. Remember that the sleeve lengths are approximate. If you are tall and slim, then your sleeve length will likely be longer. Don't be afraid to ask someone for help. For example, a size 17/34-35 shirt is supposed to fit men who need either a 34- or a 35-inch sleeve. In general, exact sizing is preferable.
While it may seem unconventional, light pink is a fairly common color for a dress shirt in the workplace. This is not to be confused with a "hot pink" or magenta color, which is less common.
Tailored shirts are designed generally for individuals with an athletic or otherwise cut build. If you have a big stomach, then stick to a shirt with a traditional full cut.
Contrast is key. If you are wearing a solid dress shirt, choose a patterned tie. If you are wearing a blue dress shirt, then consider a red or a yellow tie [yellow is more summer-oriented]. Be certain that your tie has a bit of blue in it to match your dress shirt.The U.S. size chart above refers to men's shirts; women's shirts utilize a different sizing system. Some shirts may be labeled with Italian sizes or under some other sizing system. When in doubt, it is often best to try the shirt on before you buy.
Other collar types include pin collars (which feature holes on each side of the collar to accommodate , tab collars (with small cloth tabs that button together, holding the collar tight around the tie), and banded collars (a less formal narrow collar that does not fold down, normally worn without a necktie). You may want to try these variations on at a clothing store to determine whether they're right for you.
If you are a conservative dresser, conventional wisdom once held that one should avoid monotone combinations, such as a red dress shirt with a solid red tie, or a black dress shirt with a black suit. For trendier tastes, the mono-color look has become fashionable in recent years.

Among other illegal activities, the Camorra mafia clan has evidently been running a string of very successful bakeries in Naples.
According to The Local, police in Naples seized more than 3 tons of bread in a raid on the mafia clan’s illegal bakeries and closed at least 17 of the 1,500 bakeries being operated. Police say the illegal bakeries were unhygienic, with bread being produced among "insects and mouse droppings" and baked in wood-burning ovens that were treated with toxic varnish and not up to health standards. Police even found bakeries out in the countryside, where they were illegally operating out of stables and producing bread right next to the animals.
Illegally baking bread in backstreet bakeries in Naples is estimated to generate around $680 million a year for the Camorra mafia clan, authorities say. The loaves are supplied to street vendors who sell bread out of the trunks of cars. Some loaves even make their way into restaurants and shops in Naples.
Baker’s association UNIPAN welcomed the raid, with president Mimmo Filosa saying he had been campaigning for years for the protection of "genuine Neapolitan bread" and urging police to do something about all the illegal baking going on in Naples.

Mumbai, Jan 4 - New orders and easing of inflationary pressures pushed the output of the Indian service sector higher during December, key macro-economic data showed on January 4.
According to the seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Services PMI Business Activity Index, the service sector's output returned to marginal growth during December due to growth in "Information & Communications and Finance & Insurance".
Subsequently, the seasonally adjusted index registered an overall increase from 48.5 in November to 50.9 in December.
The impact of higher Services PMI accelerated the overall private sector's output during December -- the highest since October 2016 -- and greater than the average recorded in 2017.
Consequently, the seasonally adjusted Nikkei India Composite PMI Output Index rose to 53 in December from 50.3 in November.
