StillCalm
A new study has found a clear link between exposure to trauma and chronic health and mental conditions
among South Africans. The University of Cape Town study, using data from the South African Stress and Health
Study (SASH), found that exposure to trauma had a direct link to arthritis, cardiovascular and respiratory disease,
chronic pain and mental illness such as anxiety. Research leader Lukoye Atwoli, associate UCT Professor and
Dean of the School of Medicine at Moi University, said: 'My research, for the first time, demonstrates a link
between trauma exposure and physical health in an African context. I hope my findings will be used in designing
interventions for trauma survivors.' The research found the most common trauma causing events were related
to the unexpected death of a loved one and witnessing a traumatic event occurring to someone else. Based on
the study, Atwoli, recommended that interventions for trauma survivors should include witnesses of traumatic
events. New StillCalm is said to provide what could be the most effective natural anxiety and stress supplement
on the market. It has been produced using a proprietary extract of sceletium which contains the exact ratios
of necessary alkaloids to provide a finished product that is superior in quality and effect. StillCalm provides
a fast and effective solution to reducing anxiety levels from the very first time you use it. If you are
not completely satisfied that StillCalm is the most effective
natural anxiety supplement you have used after taking a
single capsule, then please contact our office so that we can
