Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome Testimonial

Below is an endorsement by Dr. P. Bosman - Psychiatrist from Limen Clinic:

"As a Clinical Psychiatrist, I work daily with people suffering from: Burnout Syndrome, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, Traumatic life events, going through a divorce or the death of a loved one, intensive work stress, experiences of a hijacking or robbery, which are all part of our demanding social lifestyles today.

But what most people don’t realize is that stress isn’t just about psychological strain. Stress puts a major load on all body systems: From our muscles, bones and nerves to the biochemical world of hormones and enzymes. Powerful stress hormones like adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol, flood the system priming the body for action. The heart pumps faster, blood pressure rises, muscles tense and arteries constrict to reduce blood loss in case of wounding. Saliva dries up (giving you a dry mouth) and perspiration increases (sweaty palms). That is why people’s coping resources are drained. They suffer from headaches, Insomnia, total fatigue, frustration, anger, anxiety, memory loss and concentration problems, mood swings, behavioral changes and feeling completely out of control. Children that are subjected to stressful lifestyles are sometimes diagnosed with ADD or ADHD.

Taking this into consideration, it is no wonder that through blood chemistry we found that people suffering from depression also have a tendency to have a GABA (gamma amino-butyric acid) imbalance. GABA is utilized in the brain to provide normal neurological functioning, and it also serves as a detoxifying agent in the body – removing harmful elements from the body and the brain.

Very often we find that people are given prescription medication with various side effects. This is often done without proper evaluation and the symptoms that are treated are in many cases (as we see in our clinics) only a result of not being aware of what is causing the imbalance in their lives. More often we see that these people are actually suffering from nutritional deficiencies or lack of proper sleep due to their lifestyles and the demands of our world today.

At Limen, a Clinic for the Alternative Approach To Psychosomatic Illnesses, we started looking for alternative medication, medication that addresses the real issues of our stressful lives through a Holistic approach. That is when I came across Glutamag, a natural product that contained the very essence of that which we were looking for: namely to address nutritional imbalances of the body that cause people in a fast-paced world to suffer from these symptoms.

Glutamag converts l-Glutamine and pyridoxine in the digestive system producing GABA for optimum neurological functioning. Vitamin B6 also has a vital role in coping with stress and depression. It also contains Magnesium Lactate which helps with the absorption in the body.

At Limen we started giving patients Glutamag in June 2006 and within 2 weeks some of the patients that had been on anti-depressants for as long as 13 years started to feel the difference, older patients feel as if the wool, so to speak, was lifted from their bran, memory was better and the Mini Mayo-Mental Test showed that what they were experiencing was real. Sleeping patterns improved and an overall feeling of well-being occurred. Students reported that they have more energy and concentration levels were higher than before. From the rehabilitation side of alcohol and drug abuse, a patient said that it is the first time in years that it feels good to get up in the morning.

At this stage, after three months of using the product, the use of headache tablets in the clinic dropped completely, anxiety medication dropped by ¾. Patients that are on the detoxifying program, especially for drugs, are no longer taking any other substance to help them through the therapeutic phase and that makes them feel in control of their lives again.

Through the patients that we saw in the working environment, many reported that they seem to cope better with everyday demands and that thy felt less frustrated.

This is a real breakthrough and a product that I would recommend for everybody – prevention is always better than cure."
