Hi John,

Love your advice mate... well said, and welcome to the forum. My own diet actually consists mainly of certified organic ingredients, all of which most definately make me feel better than I have before, being as you said, most of the goodness is gone from fruit and vegetables with pesticides, chemicals and so forth, before it hits the shopping market shelf. It costs us more, but we eat much better, much tastier food, all of which is much higher in nutrional value to us all.

I will say though, that it is not the solution to PTSD, as PTSD stems far past just stress, as PTSD itself is a chemical imbalance within the brain, and learning how to rebalance your right and left hemispheres is just as equally important.

Something discussed on this forum about this exact thing, is teaching yourself to become ambidextrous, as that in itself medically demonstrates a higher chemical balance of the brain than a person who is only one sided capable, vs. both sides capable equally.

I think there is much to be researched about the natural alternatives to many illnesses, as prescription medication definately causes more problems than its worth IMHO.
