My name is Charles Linden. I am 40 years old and have spent a large proportion of my adult life fighting acute anxiety, panic attacks, OCD and agoraphobia... BUT NOT ANY MORE!

I was diagnosed, about 17 years ago, as having severe anxiety, panic attacks and associated phobias.

After an anxiety 'breakdown' at the age of 23, my doctor prescribed antidepressants and sedatives and then kept re-prescribing them without question. But they just made me feel progressively more ill.

My life was in ruin. At 24 years of age I thought my life was about to end. I was eaten up with fear and worst of all, no one understood how I was feeling, sympathised or helped me in any way.

Over the course of my condition, I visited doctors, psychologists, immunologists, hypnotherapists and hoards of alternative therapists. My doctors were at a loss, they prescribed drugs, but were they helping? No, they just hid the symptoms and produced others. It all became so confusing, I didn't know what to do next, I was desperate, but, this went on for five years!

I wanted to be well, but no one offered any hope of recovery. I decided that there had to be a cure and I had also met many recovered sufferers, although none of them were certain what they had done to get there! I decided to set about finding out.
