Re: Soldiers that face death need to watch their figure?

I agree that PTSD is a real disease, where any stress situation can trigger in us a depressive illness, which becomes associated with the trauma responsible for triggering PTSD. Most people recover naturally from a traumatic situations, when after some time the body starts to produce normal amounts of feel good neurotransmitters, such as serotonin. The reason why some people do not recover is because the traumatic event(s) triggered a PRE-EXISTING silent disease that underlies mood disorders. Thus it may be said that some people are pre-disposed to PTSD and others are not, depending on the state of health a person is in.

Most depressions are associated with pre-diabetic insulin resistance - one of the 'silent diseases responsible for mood disorders - and the number of PTSD cases following war situations can be reduced, if doctors would test people for hypoglycemia prior to sending them into war. Hypoglycemia is just another term for "pre-diabetic insulin resistance". Because conventional allopathic medicine does not recognise the existence of 'hypoglycemia' and it's connection to Depression in general, they cannot and won't test for it.

The test for hypoglycemic is described here at:
