Continuation of the first part of the article “Anthony William talks about anxiety” .
The term “trigger” is often used in both alternative and conventional medicine, but in a way that makes people think they have found the cause of anxiety without actually identifying it. The focus remains on the challenges and symptoms, not the true physical cause – toxic heavy metals , viruses , and other neurotoxic exposures. Treating triggers does not eliminate the underlying reason why anxiety continues to manifest.
A variety of everyday situations can act as triggers. A confrontation with a coworker, social interactions, exercise, or even the food we eat can all trigger panic attacks or other manifestations of anxiety. However, these are not the cause in themselves – they amplify the already existing vulnerability of the nervous system caused by toxic heavy metals , viral neurotoxins , and other chemical exposures. For example, inflamed vagus nerves or compromised neurotransmitters can make a person more sensitive to these everyday triggers.
Even a lack of proper nutrients—low electrolytes, vitamin B12 deficiency , poor glucose absorption, or depletion of critical chemicals—can trigger anxiety. Again, this is a result of pre-existing physical problems, not the cause itself. If medical science fails to recognize the connection between toxic heavy metals , viruses , and other neurotoxic exposures, these triggers are often misclassified as the sole factors, hindering true understanding and treatment of anxiety.
Examples of anxiety triggers
Some everyday and unusual events can act as anxiety triggers. This is not an exhaustive list, but includes situations such as:
- Blood collection or blood donation
- Irregular or improper eating
- Insufficient sleep
- Stressful professional or physical demands
- New relationships
- Birth of a baby
- Cosmetic procedures or surgeries
- Emotional ups and downs
- Food poisoning
These factors are not the cause of anxiety in themselves. They activate an already existing vulnerability caused by toxic heavy metals , viruses , or other neurotoxic exposures.
The fine line between trigger and cause
Some factors can act as both triggers and causes of anxiety, depending on individual circumstances. This happens when the factors themselves are neurotoxic, can lower the immune system, or directly feed viruses.
Examples include:
- Perfumes, colognes, air fresheners and scented candles
- Dental and medical procedures
- Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides
- Caffeine and MSG (monosodium glutamate) consumption
Anxiety-inducing anxiety
Anxiety has the ability to reinforce itself: it can cause more anxiety, creating a vicious cycle. During an anxiety attack, the adrenal glands are activated in “fight or flight” mode, which increases nervousness and panic. In chronic anxiety, these repeated attacks can lead to mild adrenal fatigue .
Panic attacks can cause fear of breathing, loss of control, or fainting, which is a form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) . It is important to know that even if you faint from a panic attack, your life is not in danger – your body will stabilize and your breathing will recover.
Anxiety triggers can change over time, indicating that they are not the root cause. For example, a food or a certain place may trigger a panic attack once, but then no longer do so, while the anxiety remains. Changing triggers demonstrate that they only activate an existing vulnerability, not create the anxiety.
The example of driving and panic attacks illustrates how overstimulation of the cranial nerves can create a trigger. Inflamed or sensitive cranial nerves react to visual and auditory stimuli during driving, which can lead to an anxiety attack. Depending on the day and the state of the nerves, the same trip can cause less or more anxiety.
Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder
Anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are different conditions. One person can have OCD without experiencing anxiety, and another can have anxiety without OCD. It is also possible for a person to have both at the same time. It is important to understand that they are separate phenomena and require different approaches to understanding and treating them.
Ebbs and flows of anxiety
Our brain and body have the ability to adapt and fight for us, maintaining a kind of systemic balance and allowing us to function as best as possible in the current circumstances. Old cells die, new ones are produced, and the level of toxins in the brain and nervous system can change, causing anxiety to come and go. The new cells often still contain residual toxins if we don't actively work to remove them.
Part of the variability of anxiety is due to the natural renewal of brain and nerve cells and the adaptive capacity of the brain and body. For example, anxiety may only be present for a short period of time—like your time in college—and then disappear for years until another stressful moment occurs, like a breakup or pregnancy. Then the body's reserves are depleted and toxins that were previously under control begin to affect the nervous system.
The brain and body adapt best at a younger age, but over time and with a lack of critical components, the condition can worsen. With a conscious approach, we can change this. Removing toxic heavy metals and rebuilding brain and nerve tissue can significantly reduce anxiety. Some symptoms may remain if viruses are still present, but the level of anxiety will be lower.
To get rid of anxiety, it is necessary to eliminate all neurotoxic factors – toxic heavy metals , viral activity , and other toxic influences such as chemicals and fragrances. Only by understanding the big picture can we find true relief and restore the health of the brain and nervous system.
