an adrenaline supressant at night just before bed. A Vietnam Vet who
had been suffering from PTSD for 25+ years was the example they wrote
about for their testing (they had several patients tested). The
Vietnam Vet. took the prescription for 30 days as directed. He came
back looking much more well-rested and relaxed. When asked about his
nightmares, which occured nightly, the veteran said that he was a
little bit worried. He was no longer dreaming about the war or hurting
himself or others. Instead, he was having nightmares that he would go
to school and the teacher would give him a test over subject matter
that he was never given the assignment for study. To this, the doctor
replied, "Sir, I have those nightmares too. They're perfectly
normal."
What the website explained was that people with PTSD are always having
problems getting their adrenal glands to shut off at night, which
causes the nightmares and night terrors. There are no sleeping pills
that have the ability to shut off the adrenal glands at night. Without
adequate sleep, the chemicals all over the body go out of whack
causing things like mood swings, wieght gain/loss, depression,
anxiety, inability to cope with normal situations and with past
stress, can never relax even though tired all the time, etc. Of
course, with the added stress the nightmares cause, daytime moods can
be very erratic. I would imagine that you guys get sick rather
frequently due to all of this. I know this isn't an oil answer, but it
may help. The doTERRA products can definitely speed up the healing
process and make it more permanent so you can, hopefully, eventually
be able to wean off of medications. Just my two cents.
