Review: "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Anxiety, Phobias, & Panic Attacks: the All-Natural Program that Can Help You Conquer Your Fears"

Douglas Hunt, MD’s book, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Anxiety, Phobias, & Panic Attacks: the All-Natural Program that Can Help You Conquer Your Fears is a quick an interesting read.

Hunt’s argument is quite simple – many of our anxieties, phobias, and panic attacks are caused by a lack of the proper nutrients.

Hunt begins his book by telling the reader that an accurate diagnosis from a physician is paramount, and he stresses working with a physician throughout the book. This is excellent - he doesn’t leave the reader to figure out what is wrong and heal himself.

He then gives an overview of various disorders and what might possibly help – again – see your doctor.

Then he presents his program of determining what nutrients are lacking and making sure that one gets adequate sleep and exercise.

The book concludes with a resource and reference section, which would be useful, once one has a diagnosis.

The one down side to this book is that there are no footnotes to show how he came to his conclusion – only the reference section at the end.

Even so, there are some nutrients I am going to talk with my doctor about to see if they might be helpful to me.
