I was suffering from major panic attacks (called 911 once) - First one took me over with accelerated heart, numb hands and legs, sweating and thought I was going pass out - a heart attack, I thought. It turned out to be a massive panic attack. I followed that up with another major attack 2 days later, and another the day after that. MDs were recommending Xanax and other anti-anxiety medication, but I chose to see Dr. Avedissian. He asked me to give him 4 weeks to get me back to health in the ""right way"". I agreed. Panic attacks are not fun (anyone who has them knows how much they take over your life). He muscle tested me for foods and stimulants that were affecting my adrenal glands. I cut those things out, and saw Patrick 2 times/week. The episodes I was having decreased in both intensity and number, and eventually went away. To boot, I feel better now than I have in a long, long time. I'm sold. If I had gone to the MD rout, I would be refilling yet another prescription instead of writing this.
