"My experience with using the anxiety tape was life changing literally. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a life changing disability that brought on a tremendous amount of anxiety and had been to every doctor and of course they all wanted to put me on medications. I tried them all because I wanted to get better and get on with my life but the side effects were too much for me to handle.
I was in bed for months due to my disability and the anxiety. My body became stuck in a state of constant anxiety and there was nothing that anyone could do except drug me. The anxiety got so bad that it hindered my efforts to get better.
I ordered Sam's tape on anxiety and began to listen to it several times a day and before bed and within about a week I began to notice that I was relaxing and experiencing a sense of peace. I was able to deal with my disability and face it in a healthy way and now I use his tapes because they relax me each night.
I would recommend them highly to anyone. I intend on ordering more in the future and I believe they will also help my children as well."
Laura Brower, Georgia
