Hi Tyler

Anxiety is a problem I still get unfortunately, I started getting low anxiety about the same time I got severe dandruff about 14 years old. The dandruff (dermatitis)/cracked heels problem has been really stubborn which raw carb paleo only produced a  limited improvement. I also know that there is a link between these skin problems and anxiety and said to myself a long time ago that my anxiety would not heal until these problems healed also..candida has been implicated in adrenal problems.
Over the last month I cut out 99.9% of carbs/sugar I have had some pretty bad candida symptoms come to the surface. These included severe eczema, severe thrush, tinnitus, severe sugar cravings, dry peeling skin on my face, nervousness. Now the thing is I was pretty low carb according to most thinking on the subject but once I went all meat I realised the hold carbs had on me. Once I got through the really bad patch my candida symptoms have subsided and scalp and feet have become smooth and supple, and I'm pretty happy with that! and feel this way of eating may also start to help out with my anxiety.

Cheers Andrew

i put bladderwrack & kelp (among other things such as a celtic salt brine, etc.) in my anaerobic meat fermentations
the seaweeds disappear in 24 hr, eaten by the bacteria i presume, but the iodine should still be there somewhere (in the meat, the juice, or the bacteria)

I was way more relaxed on eating cooked food/carbs/beer socially previous to zero carb even though I would feel pretty average the next day but it is important to eat out with people and worth it too. Just get straight back into it when you can.

I've always hated pickles but I liked the ones I just bought that were really tasty! anyway I'd heard people mentioning that eating pickles was good for cramps so I did a bit of research and seems cramps can be brought on by a acetylcholine deficncey, it's not the minerals in the pickles but the acetic acid from the vinegar combining with choline (B vitamin). So I thought I'll bolt down some raw liver (contains heaps of choline) and wash it down with some pickle juice.  Haven't fully tested how good it works yet but I couldn't bring on any cramps in my jaw which I usually can.

Iodine could be like vitamin 'C' where if you eat all carnivore you don't much? I sip seawater occasionally and also eat oysters occasionally I wonder if that's enough.
I might also try some seaweed next time I find some, there's a green one which looks like lettuce which I think aborigines would eat so I will give that a go.

Thirded.

Hi Felicie

I also have heard evidence that muscular people are more likely to suffer cramping problems.

But yes the acetylcholine deficiency could be the way to go in fixing cramps as I've taken magnesium before and doesn't do anything I haven't tried adding heaps of salt yet I used to eat heaps of salt in my SAD days and this did nothing to my cramps.

For me I suspect cramps are caused by candida. I've been struggling with candida ever since going zero carb. I''m not far off two months now and symptoms of candida are still causing problems.

As far as smoking goes I craved cigarettes occasionally and find it helped me think.

Tyrosine, is that an amino acid? I eat plenty of raw protein so I doubt it would do anything!.
