Re: anxiety / panic attack - help!

I came to read the thread entitled 'Klonopin' which contained information about anxiety attacks. Ray Collins gave very helpful tips on diet. I have been taking miso soup everyday, with very generous amounts of ginger. I have stopped adding ginger since last week as I felt my stomach react not so nicely (contractions). I also took a lot of tofu over the past few weeks. I also unknowingly consumed big portions of msg (the nori that I was eating was seasoned with msg). In addition, my mother used to suffer from panic attacks as well. My anxiety attacks were at its worst over the past few weeks so Ray's tips seem very accurate to my case.
Now for my questions:
1. avoid noodles - does this include pasta?
2. avoid strong aroma teas - i heard that chamomile with lavender is very good in calming the nerves. is this part of the strong aroma teas that i should avoid or is this a good beverage for anxiety attacks?
3. avoid vinegar - does this include brown rice vinegar and umeboshi vinegar?
4. avoid tofu - does this include fried tofu cheese. I was made to understand that frying tofu will make it less yang.
