Re: Thoughts on panic attacks?

Have you looked into copper toxicity as well? It is incredibly common,

apparently, though can often show up as copper " deficiency " due to an almost

copper-resistant-like state of bio-unavailability.

Raspberry leaf tea and I believe coconut water are good dietary sources,

especially with how low calorie they are, you can easily get adequate

manganese without having to edit the rest of your diet.

800% each per day is REALLY high for a non-fortified diet... (which being

that this is the list, I'm assuming you're not using

fortified white flour) This is one of the issues I have

with calculators like FitDay and NutritionData - when they list meals they

often use fortified foods in their calculations so they're not really

accurate for things like B vitamins (that you don't add when making things

at home).

To give you an idea, 68g of liver has 800% RDV B12 but only 137% B2 and

under 100% for all the rest (the lowest being B1 at 9%).

If you are indeed eating a non-fortified diet, I'm really interested in

knowing what you're eating!!
