Websites and articles about post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Fight Off That Constant Exhaustion
Shannon Bartlett writes about Dr. Martin Pall’s research that focuses on one cause for four chronic and controversial diseases: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Fibromyalgia (FM), and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)

Gupta Amygdala Retraining™
Ashok Gupta offers a DVD program, as well as in-person treatments, to help retrain the brain and calm the hyperaroused amygdala—the brain’s fight or flight center of fear and anxiety. His program treats Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), as well as related conditions of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Fibromyalgia (FM), and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).

Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a short-term naturalistic approach to the resolution and healing of trauma developed by Dr. Peter Levine, based upon the observation that wild prey animals, though threatened routinely, are rarely traumatized. Animals in the wild utilize innate mechanisms to regulate and discharge the high levels of energy arousal associated with defensive survival behaviors. These mechanisms provide animals with a built-in “immunity” to trauma that enables them to return to normal in the aftermath of highly “charged” life-threatening experiences.

The Tenth Paradigm Society
The mission of the Tenth Paradigm Society is to gain recognition and acceptance for a tenth new major theory (or paradigm) of human disease, which explains previously unexplained multisystem illnesses and to conquer these illnesses which include: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS or CFIDS), Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Fibromyalgia (FM), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Gulf War Syndrome (GWS).

The Tenth Paradigm
Martin L. Pall, PhD’s website that offers a detailed explanation of his NO/ONOO theory on a common causal (etiologic) mechanism for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Fibromyalgia and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Earthwalker

Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.

Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.

A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.

She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.

In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.
