Question: More people seem to be suffering with anxiety attacks than ever before, & unfortunately I am one of them. I just hate the idea of living my life on medications, but without them I'm afraid to even leave the house. It bothers me that I can't get a handle on this part of my life. All of my medical tests show that I'm in great health, and that makes me even more anxious. Are there things I can be doing that are more holistic & have fewer side effects? ANSWER

Question: Is it just me, or is everyone suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Gastric Reflux? I was at a party last night & believe it or not this was the hot topic of conversation!

I hate the idea of stomaching this along with my high blood pressure & other physical declines! ANSWER

To be very honest the idea of a long retirement like this scares me. I'd be happy to have some insights in this regard. ANSWER
