Re: Nutritional Treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

 The statement above:

 "So, did you use any type of therapy method on yourself, or was it truly & soley nutritional?"

 reflects a common misunderstanding about psychonutritional therapy, that it deals with "nutrition" alone. As the term implies it deals with both the biological (nutritional) aspects AND the psychological aspects of mood disorders.

The difference is perhaps the cardinal principle in psychonutritional Therapy THAT YOU TREAT THE BIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF THE ILLNESS BEFORE TREATING THE "PSYCHOLOGICAL" ASPECTS. See Julia Ross.  It is simply matter of scientific medicine that you cannot cure a medical disease by means of psychotherapy or talk therapy.

Further more "psychonutritional therapy is an "evidence based" approach and there is hardly any statement I make that is not supported by some studies.  The references I gave before were faulty because the hypoglycemic Association of Australia (www.hypoglycemia.asn.au) changed their web site and altered te URLs.

The drive towards an alternative approach to the treatment of "mental illness" is the fact that the vast majority (around 30 percent) of people being treated by conventional therapy by means of medication and/or psychotherapy, remain treatment resistant. See studies. But if you want to have access to vast amount supporting evidence I suggest you look up:

Research Evidence for Hypoglycemia

Index of Specific Topics

and look up such terms as PTSD, depression,

As to "psychological treatment", there are many schools of psychotherapies of which "meditation" is only one. We have a self-help psychotherapy course at our web site that reflects the influence of RCBT at: Psychotherapy Course. But tyhe knis=d of psychotherapy approach is up to the person.
