The insideous nature of Post Traumatic Stress

January 8, 2008

For those who have a nose for clinical details, the following

references provide some of the symptoms and variations in

presentation of what is popularly called " PTSD " .

The one that is not really covered is the PTSD resulting from

fetal distress occasioned by some 'experience' that the mother

of a child might have when she is pregnant.

My interest in this work was triggered with my involvement in an

Australian Government study into the illnesses (both mental and

physical) suffered by first and second generation children of

returned Vietnam Vets -- often leading to youth disturbances

such as ADHD, Autism and suicide.

Additionally, I have direct experience where something as simple

high blood pressure in the mother during her third trimester has led

to the complete collapse of the immune system of her child once that

child entered puberty.

Candida Albicans was one direct result .. MS followed later in life.

In working with researchers at the Menzies Institute in Tasmania, we

know that there is a direct relationship between the condition of the

immune system and the daily intake of Vitamin D through sunshine.

Its all very well to treat the presentation and symptoms, but the

pattern will repeat with exacerbation into a new and sometimes

different set of symptoms at a later time .. often on the anniversary

of some initial trauma because it is triggered by the circardian

rhythms.

Yes .. you may claim to have cured the symptoms of one presentation

BUT .. what steps have been taken to address the dis-ease?

education and interaction in neurology and psychiatry located in

Denmark.
