Back From The Brink: Trauma and Homemopathy

An estimated 7% of people in the U.S. suffer with post-traumatic stress disorder, experts say; that's roughly equal to those suffering with diabetes or coronary artery disease! The Cortlandt Forum warns healthcare workers that PTSD "can be easy to miss because the workup for medical disorders commonly associated with PTSD-arthritis, anemia, back pain, asthma, and renal and lung disease-doesn't usually take into account traumatic experiences. For example, early in the course of their illness, fibromyalgia patients may complain that something is 'wrong... lurking just beyond [their] awareness, something unknown and threatening.' These symptoms often represent the action of psychological factors, such as trauma, activating the body's stress response. Failure to address the psychological elements in such presentations may lead to a false diagnosis, one that is exclusively medical and dooms the patient to a long course of, at best, partially effective care." Because homeopathy addresses the whole person-body, mind, and spirit-and because it pays special attention to the mental/emotional root causes ofphysical illness, it is an excellent therapy for helping people suffering with PTSD.
