Page 545 - Total War on PTSD

nutritional supplements would help in any way with the mental or physical complaints of active duty personnel. To prove that nutritional supplements can improve the emotional and physical complaints of active duty Marines I did a study, with the support of command officers looking for a way to help their Marines. I lectured to 100s of Marines on the signs and symptoms of Burnout, a less threatening term than PTSD, and had a group of volunteers ready and willing to be helped.
The participants were recommended nutritional supplements based on clinical lab testing that measured how well their biochemical pathways dealt with stress. These clinical lab results were correlated with questionnaires about their physical and mental complaints and a questionnaire about whether they felt burnout. This process was repeated at 90 days and changes to their nutritional supplements were made. The study was completed at 180 days.
The results of this study proved to be amazing and was the basis for The Resiliency Program. When the study began all participants were rated at “extremely to moderately” burnout. 180 days of nutritional supplements had made a remarkable change. A remarkable 95% of the participants had moved up at least two levels and the group were now rated at only “moderate to no” burnout. There was also an average 80% drop in the groups emotional and physical complaints from the start to the finish. This small study clearly showed that nutritional supplementation can effectively improve physical and emotional complaints in a short period of time.
