Anxiety: A Look at Epidemiological Factors and Alternate Treatments DARE-SAFE: Denominator-Adjusted Rate Estimates of Substance Adverse Events Frequency Evaluation in Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines In addition to VAERS which records adverse events from vaccines and drugs the Denominator Adjusted Rate of Events, the adverse events per million doses administered was assessed. The doses per rates of adverse events or deaths for all vaccines and for 250 drugs used in the U.S.A was recorded after the CDC released that data.Key Points - Anxiety is 20% higher post Covid- Women are twice as likely to be anxious than men- Non-pharmalogic nutraceuticals to produce are cheaper, more accessible and have less side effects and give individuals more control over their anxiety versus going to a health professional and getting a prescription with potential side effects and costs if not covered or partially covered by insurance- Whole food diets, avoidance of processed foods, reducing sugar consumption are all encouraged to help manage anxietySummary of the Best Nutraceutical Options for Anxiety: Doses, Mode of Action, Side Effects, Sources, Clinical Trials (Page 7 Table 1)- Ashwagandha 300-600 mg/d- CBD (Cannabidiol) 25-600 mg/d- CBG (Cannabigerol) 5-50 mg/d - Lavender Oil 80 mg/d (oral) or aromatherapy- Lemon Balm 300-600 mg/d- Magnesium, pyridoxine (B6) 200-600 mg magnesium + 20-50 mg B6/d- Rhodiola 200-600 mg/d- Saffron 30 mg/d- L-Theanine 200-400 mg/d- Saffron 30 mg/d
