Promising Treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to Be Presented at Veterans For Peace Conference

Posted on: Tuesday, 8 August 2006, 12:01 CDT

SEATTLE, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Washington is the site for the national Veterans For Peace Conference, August 10th-13th, 2006, where speakers and workshop facilitators will address men and women veterans, and guests from across the country. One such presentation addresses a major concern and key health issue: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Shell shock, or combat fatigue, occurs in a very high percentage of men in armed services -- 60% of veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, with lingering effects being experienced by 20% of those men.

Although PTSD was first brought to public attention in relation to war veterans, it also can result from a variety of traumatic incidents, making this a topic of great interest not only to all veterans, but also to the 7.7 million Americans who suffer from PTSD. It not only affects adults, PTSD can occur at any age, including childhood. Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men, and there is some evidence that susceptibility to the disorder may run in families. PTSD is often accompanied by depression, substance abuse, or one or more of the other anxiety disorders.

DR. DAN KENNER PRESENTS PROVEN NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

Recent science reveals safe, effective, all-natural treatments for PTSD, based on maintaining immune system health. Dr. Dan Kenner, PhD, LAc, author, and lecturer, with more than 30 years clinical experience in natural health care, will discuss the well-documented successes of two all natural supplements: ImmPower-AHCC, a hybridized mushroom compound which has been researched extensively, particularly in a published study conducted by NASA for alleviating the effect of emotional and physical stress on the immune system; and the unique nutrient, Avemar, now available here in the US as Ave (2006 NutrAward Winner for Best New Product), which has been shown to help the immune system to boost its Natural Killer cell activity, enhancing the system's first line of defense. Both of these nutrients are available from the same nutritional company, NY-based American BioSciences, Inc., with abundant research available online at http://www.americanbiosciences.com/ , click on Research.
