inability to accept, process and move on from traumas and stressors. Supporting PTSD patients with nutritional supplements and emotional desensitization techniques (like NET) would definitely help to resolve many aspects of their problem and thus The Resiliency Program was born.
The first few years of the program were fueled by word of mouth, with one successful case sending in several others until the buzz was all around. Request for meetings by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Navy and Marines lead to an even greater buzz and an urgency to expand the program. Those in command of troops and responsible for their well-being were quick to accept and promote the program, but government red-tape and the lack of vision by military medicine looked like the end for the program. A chance encounter with Jack Downing, the CEO of Soldier ON a Veterans’ service organization, led to the exponential growth of the program. Jack Downing saw the vision of restoring emotional and physical health back to Veteran so that they would have a high quality of life. He realized that The Resiliency Program could do that quickly, effectively, and cost efficiently.
The Resiliency Program in conjunction with Soldier On has been able to help 100s of Veterans achieve a higher quality of life, greater than what was ever thought possible after being diagnosed with PTSD. The program is loved by Veterans for its quick and long-term results. Their families love that the program restored their loved one to an active part of the family again. The key to the program’s success comes from understanding how the mind-body processes and heals from trauma and restoring those normal pathways through clinical nutrition and hands-on work.
