Chronic Throat Pain

Hi Dr. Walt,

Thanks for the info on bracing. This may be the cause...? I saw a report on 20/20 once with a Dr. Sarno that talked about something like this.
The docs I've seen are about 6 ENT's and 3 Psychiatrist and 3 Primary Care. The ENT's didnt find anything and only suggested decongestents, antibiotics, and allergy shots. I tried them all and the shots for a couple years to no avail. The psychiatrists said it was conversion disorder but gave me no real way to get over it. I have had panic disorder/agoraphobia since 3 years before this throat pain started. So maybe it is that I'm bracing my throat muscles?? I do also have alot of back pain mostly in my thoracic area. I also had headaches nearly every day for over 2 years after I started having the anxiety/panic. So what do I do to heal all this?!?!? Do you know which would be the best natural product for panic? I've tried almost all the drugs and they either dont work or the side effects are too bad.
Also I have had blood tests for candida and scored high on it and all the other multiple choice tests, saliva tests, etc... Do you think this pain could be caused from candida?
One of the questions on the candida tests is about burning, and unexplained pain. I notice it gets wors when I eat vinegary, sugary foods. And I CANNOT eat any spicy foods (which I love). Please let me know what you think and suggest.

Thank you for responding so quickly!

Kenneth

Thanks, Kenneth.

The astounding thing is that, of all the "allopathic specialists" you have seen that none of them have suggested a structural cause (bracing)---perhaps because allopathy does not teach anything about this.

Bend all of your efforts towards eliminating bracing and let us know how you are doing in about a year. I do not think that candida is causing this although, if bracing of this magnitude persists long enough, you can eventually have candida too.

Let us know what you learn and how you do.

Walt
