Anxiety and panic disorders are the most common emotional disorder. It is reported that one out of every 76 people worldwide will experience a panic attack in their lives. Each year around 1/3 of American adults have at least one panic attack while most of these adults never develop repeated panic attacks. Only 21% of people who ever suffer from anxiety and panic attacks reach out for professional help.
Do I have Anxiety and Panic Disorder?
The truth is if you experience one or several of the following symptoms, it is very likely that you have it: heart palpitations, sweating, trembling or shaking, sensations of shortness of breath or smothering, feeling of choking, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or abdominal distress, dizziness or light-headedness, derealisation or depersonalisation, fear of losing control or going "crazy", fear of dying, paresthesia, and chills or hot flushes.
What you don't know about Anxiety and Panic Disorders
We receive thousands of emails via our web site from anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) suffers every month. What is very apparent from most of these is that people have a lot of misconceptions about anxiety and panic disorders. In order to cure them we need to know some facts about them first.
Firstly, anxiety and panic disorders are NOT mental illnesses. They are just behavioral conditions stored as memory, instinct and habit in the Amygdala, an almond-shaped set of neurons inside the brain. The National Institute of Mental Health has confirmed that conditions such as anxiety, depression, autism, PTSD, OCD, and phobias are caused by abnormal functioning of the Amygdala.
Secondly, anxiety and panic disorders conditions CAN be eliminated 100% permanently, contrary to what most believe. We already know that stress, bereavement and life circumstances are just the triggers for the anxiety and that Amygdala is THE cause. If we can change the way the Amygdala reacts, you'd be anxiety free. The good news is we can change the reaction of Amygdala quickly and permanently with immediate results.
Please visit our Anxiety Panic Away website listed below for more information on how your can permanently cure anxiety and panic attacks so you can make an informed decision as to the best course of treatment that would best fit you.

Panic Attack Symptoms: A First-hand Account Of The Symptoms Experienced During A Panic Attack
I seriously feel that if you’ve never been unfortunate enough to have experienced a panic attack then, it would be very difficult, if not impossible to realise just how overwhelmingly frightening they really are. On the other hand, if you have been in the unfortunate position of experiencing one first hand, then I doubt that you could ever forget just how brutal they are.
So what are the most common panic attack symptoms? Well, first of all you must appreciate that when you’re in the middle of one, the last thing on your mind is making mental notes about your current physiological and mental state. But thinking back to my panic days, the following list springs to mind:
1) Dry mouth.
2) Tensing of my stomach muscles.
3) A slight feeling of nausea.
4) Sweaty hands and feet.
5) People used to tell me that my face went as white as a sheet.
6) Pounding heart.
7) Shallow breathing.
There were possibly more than this but that’s all I can recall at this moment in time.
As I became more used to experiencing panic, I became able to spot the above symptoms and in doing so was then able to distract myself one way or another in order to prevent an attack reaching its peak. I will add though, that, for me, using distractions to ward off panic was a very hit and miss affair and it did nothing to reduce the massive amounts of anxiety that I had to deal with.
Now, when the panic peaked, it used to feel similar to someone hitting me hard in the chest with a soft hammer repeatedly. And these “hammer” blows would “echo” right through my body all the way down to my feet. Whilst this was happening, I would experience an overwhelming level of raw fear. In my case, the panic attacks only seemed to last for a few moments but they may have lasted longer in real time.
Once the panic had subsided, I would feel very light-headed and “not there” for at least thirty minutes afterward, sometimes, over an hour. And, if the truth be known, I wouldn’t feel completely myself for the rest of that day.
The panic attack symptoms that I’ve described above were more or less what I used to experience. But please be aware that it's sometimes difficult to attempt to describe physical sensations using only words. I’m also quite sure that other sufferers will have encountered different experiences when they come face to face with their panic.
I lived for all too many years with panic and anxiety as my close companions. They ruined my life by taking my love for life and replacing it with constant dread and fear. Panic and anxiety are both curable. I conquered mine and my lust for life returned just like it had never been away.

How to get the most from membership sites
They are everywhere and every marketer is creating them, a lot of them are offeruing low cost trial's of their membership sites but there is only so much time that a person can sit in front of their computer, connected to the internet. I, fortunatekly have a broadband connection and my computer is hooked to the internet 24 hours a day. But at times, when a lot of people are surfing, the connection can become real slow. and yet there are still people that only connect using a dial up account.
so, How can you take advantage of one of these trial accounts for a membership site. one of the many ways is by using an offline browser. When i first take advantage of a new mebership on one of these sites I'll connect with my offline browser which downloads the site to my own computer and then i can surf the site on my own time. When one of these browsers downloads a site to your system it changes all the links so there is no difference from using the site on your own system as opposed to using it while online. except for the fact that on your own system you won't have to worry about surfing the net when everybody else is. The duplicate site on your own system will run much more smoothly and faster. Now one thing to keep in mind is that some of these site's when downloaded could take up a gig of space or more on your own hard drive but usually i transfer these sites to a DVD via my DVD burner.
The only time i'll remain a member to one of these sites after my trial has expired isif I feel that the new posts will be something that i'll benefit from. So far very few have met this criteria but one of the ones i stay a member is the one run by Dan Kennedy. He sends out newsletters both via email and a hard copy once a month in the mail.
I just signed up for one trial tonight which offered a trial mambership for the first month of only a dollar. If I decide to stay a member past the first month the membership is just under $30 per month but if I don't monitor myself these memberships can add up.
The beauty of a trial membership and an offline browser is that once my trial has expired I still have akll the information that was offered for a lower price. I also want to mention that a lot of these marketers never purge their database of the old memberships that don't remain membbers. What this means is that your username and password will still work a year or two later even though you never kept paying a membership fee.
If i had a membership site i would make the password change every month. Give everybody the same password instead of letting them create their own.

Creating A Cash Generating Membership Site (on A Shoestring Budget)
By now you must have heard many online celebrities talking about how you should set-up your own membership site in order to create substantial, automatic profits...month in, year out. Is it all hype or can you really create your own dynamic membership site and get paid $29, $29 or even $97 plus every month?
I'll show you today that creating your own membership site is something that is highly achievable to practically every internet entrepreneur around - and unlike the old days (when setting up membership sites would set you back potentially hundreds of dollars a month) it's not going to deflate your Paypal account a bit.
The Benefits Of Creating Your Own Membership Sites
For a start, consider the age that we are living in - "the information age" - today, people are willing to pay good money for a regular stream of targeted, quality information (or software) in areas that are of interest to them. Sure, a lot of information is available free on the internet but the fact is that places like Google are just jam packed with sites that offer little more than thinly disguised sales pages. It takes forever to find quality information, and with todays lifestyle time is the one commodity that people simply do not have.
The result? They will PAY you for information that hits the spot as long as they get it NOW! This makes the membership site business model highly potent. Consider these advantages & benefits of setting up your own membership sites:
You can exploit your areas of expertise and create a full or part time business simply by disclosing your knowledge/skills into your members site.
A successful & profitable membership site can be started for practically any niche under the sun from rose-gardening to the Mumbai stock market! There are an unlimited number of niches that have markets with prospects that number in the millions.
While members sites used to be for the elite with budgets in excess of thousands of dollars the emergence of quality, mainstream software means that just about anyone can set-up with minimal capital requirements (I mean under $100).
Membership sites enable you to take advantage of residual streams of income - the beauty of this business model is that you can focus on providing tip-top content so that your members continue to deposit monthly subscription fees into your bank account. In effect, you're creating a monthly salary for yourself without the nuisance of having a pathological liar of a boss hovering over your shoulders every two minutes.
Membership sites only increase in value with each passing month. This means the longer your site is open, the more content/products are inside and the more subscriptions you'll receive.
Owners of membership sites are able to use their sites to gain an awful lot of leverage & engineer win-win situations for themselves. The great thing about digital information is that they spit out 100% profit-margins - the cost of producing a members site is negligible but you can use your membership site to trade with other product owners - in this way you can actually get webhosting, graphics, software and even opt-in subscribers free.
While stand-alone eBooks & mini-sites will always have their place, membership sites offer something far more valuable - both to the internet business owner as well as the end user.
What Type Of Niches Can You Set-Up A Membership Site In?
Certain types of niches are simply made for a membership style structure, typically niches with a huge number of potential topics.
The below are just some examples of the types of niches that you could set-up membership sites in:
- Internet marketing related content & products.
- Finance, money, property & stock market.
- Health, beauty & fitness.
- eBay, power-selling & wholesale goods/dropshippers.
- Career development.
- Gardening.
You have to understand that this is a TINY list of the potential possibilities - the fact is you could turn practically any subject matter into a membership-site.
Are There Any Difficulties In Setting-Up A Membership Site?
The main issue with setting up a content based membership site used to be the expense involved with running it. For example, one quite famous option that many people still use has an entry pricing plan of $3500 - that's for one single URL with a maximum of 1000 members and 1000 pages.
Not exactly within the budget of the average internet business entrepreneur!
Don't panic because recently, a couple of classy mainstream membership site creation software have been released that allow you to set-up as many members sites with as much content as you want for a tiny fraction of that (more on that later in case you're interested).
So now that funding is no longer an obstacle let's look at some other potential stumbling blocks that you will need to consider before diving in head-first into your first membership site project:
Can you install the software? This may sound like a silly thing to say - after all the software you can buy come with detailed instructions but some very fresh newbies (ie those that struggle with things like setting up payment links) may struggle to install the software. Even where this is the case, they can of course have the software installed for them for a low fee (typically $20 to $50) via online forums or using services such as elance. Those that can set-up web-pages comfortably should not really struggle too much with software installation.
Can you commit to providing fresh content, resources & value-adding material that will delight your subscribers? Remember, people will be paying you monthly so you have to make sure that you have the time, knowledge and ability to provide them with whatever it is that you're offering.
What Features Should Your Membership Site Have?
Your membership site should function quite smoothly on auto-pilot and you must offer your potential prospects the chance to pay using standard options (in the information field this is typically Paypal).
Here are a few features that you may want to look out for when considering your options RE purchasing membership site software:
-Ability to accept recurring Paypal payments.
- Subscriber should be able to automatically set-up an account with ZERO interaction on your account.
- Once subscriber ends the subscription the members-site should automatically deny them access without any interaction from you (your time is far too valuable for you to be fidgeting with manual things like deleting accounts every few hours).
There should be no limit to the number of websites that you can set-up using the software - or to the amount of content/pages that you can set-up. Once you get the taste of running a membership site you may well want to open another one...and another still - you don't really want to pay separate fees for each new site you create.
Setting up your first membership site will be your biggest challenge. Once you implement a successful first members-site then you'll have the skills and experience to create plenty more in the future - all churning out hundreds of $29 monthly payments like clockwork!

Introduction to Gold and Silver Investing
2008 was an interesting year for gold and silver investing. Towards year's end we saw record numbers of new investors who chose to get into gold and silver investing, forgoing the usual stocks and realty investment options that have become turbulent and unpredictable, to put it nicely, over the last few years.
Don't Pay Too Much for Gold and Silver Coins
People have opted to buy into metals for a very simple reason: Metals investing is simply more stable. Stock investments can go belly up, investment banks can close and realty prices can plummet. Meanwhile, while gold and silver do have their ups and downs, the historical tendency has always been for metal prices to rise over time and this is exactly why gold and silver investing is growing in popularity while fewer and fewer companies are offering solid 401K packages.
Most recently, precious metal investment grade coins have become a very popular option for gold and silver investing. This is due simply to their convenience. If you're new to metals and want to buy gold and silver you might think of bars and bricks, and that's easy enough if you're a billionaire, but gold and silver St. Gaudens and similar coins make it easy to put a few hundred dollars into your metals investment at a time. When you see that the prices of gold and silver are about to rise you can simply buy gold and silver coins, just enough to top your investment off and then not worry about it. Likewise if you need a little cash for a rainy day, you don't need to cash in thousands of dollars worth of metal at a time, you can simply sell as many coins as you need to sell in order to meet your goals or take care of unforeseen circumstance.
It's simply a smart option. Where stocks and realty have become wild and unpredictable, precious metals have almost always been solid to some extent. Certainly metals do have their declines now and then, but the price almost invariably tends to recover quite quickly. True, the pay off for metals may be less "explosive" than stocks, which have a tendency to rise overnight, but that also means that metals won't crash overnight either.
It's certainly a good thing that more and more people are turning to metals as the foundation of their investments and we can only hope that they retain these metals investments. In the past there has been something of a tendency for people to jump into gold and silver investing during times of crisis, only to cash in the minute the American dollar starts to take a turn for the better.
The fact is that you'd be wise to hold onto your metals investments in times of both economic strife and economic ease. Metals are not a "desperation" option, but rather an option to keep investors from ever having to become desperate. By keeping some amount of money in metals as opposed to cash, investment accounts, or other options, you should be able to always have money for a rainy day.

What Are the Options in Digital Hearing Aids?
Millions of people throughout the planet experience some degree of hearing loss. Fortunately, there are state of the art hearing aids available that provide these people with a chance to hear normally once again. The only problem is, there are so many different technologies and styles to choose from that it can be quite overwhelming to know what you need.
Most people these days will use a digital hearing aid, which has replaced the older, less efficient analog technology. With the latest technological advances, the cost of most of these devices has come down considerably. That makes them more affordable for many people, which has led to a decline in popularity of the older but cheaper analog styles. These modern devices can be found in four different types, and the kind you use will depend on your degree of hearing loss and what you can afford.
The "completely in the canal" (CIC) device is very small and, as its name suggests, fits completely inside the ear canal. But because of its relatively smaller size, it doesn't have as many features as some of the other models. The "in the canal" (ITC) style sits partially in the ear canal. The "in the ear" (ITE) model fits around the outer edge of the ear. The "behind the ear" (BTE) device is worn in back of the outer ear.
The latest digital hearing aids have a number of features that offer many advantages to those with hearing loss problems. For example, the most recent innovations involve advanced signal processing techniques that produce amazingly clear sound quality. Many of the latest devices are able to adapt to the current circumstances. They can actually distinguish between speech and other noises, and will suppress any background noise so that you are able to hear the conversation more clearly.
Most of these devices can be programmed to your personal requirements, and are also able to be reprogrammed if your hearing abilities continue to decline.
They provide a high degree of flexibility and will adapt to various situations. You won't have to adjust the volume every time you move to a new location, because it will do this itself. Various kinds of volume adjustment help to minimize distortion and provide crystal clear amplification. The digital processors filter the noise around you in order to provide superior sound quality.
You need to make sure you are purchasing a well made, high quality digital hearing aid. There are several well-established brand names to choose from, including Siemens, Beltone, Starkey, Phonak, Oticon and Rexton. These products feature the latest in technology, with an extensive assortment of features, styles and sizes to fit anyone's needs and budget.
Today's digital hearing aids are certainly exciting in terms of the benefits they can provide to those suffering from hearing loss. And the future is also bright with the promise of even better technologies to come.
Modern technology has led to the development of hearing aids that are smaller, more convenient and extremely reliable. These devices are able to amplify even the smallest sounds. Learn more at Hearing Aids Online.

Resource Directory Development-The Yellow Pages of the Internet
Directory development is a growing popular method for gaining quality content and traffic for a website. Resource directories consist of a number of links to other sites within a category of the directory-Just like the Yellow Pages organize businesses by category. Website owners who are considering using directories to promote their site should know why directories are important and what they do. And those who are considering their own directory should know about resource directory development.
Directories are very important for any website owner. When submitting to a directory, the URLs are typically human reviewed for quality assurance. By getting accepted it means your site meets the directories guidelines and is a quality site. Some directories are more difficult to get into like Yahoo! or DMOZ. Yahoo! charges $299 for a directory inclusion, while submissions to DMOZ are subject to an editors’ approval.
Many websites seek out directories they can submit to. On a daily basis a website owner will seek out several directories and add their site. This increases their number of inbound links, and well as increasing their visibility on the internet.
Tips for Submitting to Directories
*Include the most important keywords in the title.
*Submit your homepage. Directories will typically not accept extensions. It is good if your URL has your keywords in it.
*Write a good description free of grammatical errors. It will save time to write two descriptions, one long and one short, for different directories.
Some directories focus on a particular niche, while others have categories for just about everything. An example of a targeted directory would be one that only accepts sites about search engine marketing or search engine optimization. Choosing a niche directory that relates to the keywords of the site will help bring more visibility to that particular directory as well as the links.
If developing a directory for your own site there are some important things to keep in mind. It must be search engine friendly so it may be indexed properly. Choose categories carefully so they are aimed at your market or the markets to which you wish to appeal. Also don’t let categories go to deep. The more pages away from your homepage you get, the lower becomes the ranking of the directory pages. Make sure the directory is functional so other websites can easily add their URLs. An email notification is a good idea. An acceptance email will not only reassure the website owner but also help you to develop more relationships with other website owners.
Tips for Directory Development
*Keep listing results small, to about 20 a page. More than that can be overwhelming and confusing to users seeking out information.
*Maintain and update your directory frequently. Search engines like to see a site updated regularly, and maintaining the directory will assure that all the links are still functional and that all the URLs still exist.
*Incorporate the look of your website into the directory. This will help users to associate the directory with your site.
Always keep in mind that you want to represent the best of your site in any listing. So whether you are submitting to the best directories or creating your own directory make sure you are providing the most accurate information and the best possible representation of your site.

Choose categories carefully so they are aimed at your market or the markets to which you wish to appeal. Also don’t let categories go to deep. The more pages away from your homepage you get, the lower becomes the ranking of the directory pages. Make sure the directory is functional so other websites can easily add their URLs. An email notification is a good idea. An acceptance email will not only reassure the website owner but also help you to develop more relationships with other website owners.
Tips for Directory Development
*Keep listing results small, to about 20 a page. More than that can be overwhelming and confusing to users seeking out information.
*Maintain and update your directory frequently. Search engines like to see a site updated regularly, and maintaining the directory will assure that all the links are still functional and that all the URLs still exist.
*Incorporate the look of your website into the directory. This will help users to associate the directory with your site.
Always keep in mind that you want to represent the best of your site in any listing. So whether you are submitting to the best directories or creating your own directory make sure you are providing the most accurate information and the best possible representation of your site.
