Most of us will never understand or even be able to comprehend what goes on while are troops are stationed over seas defending our country. Unfortunately for many, the battle never completely ends in their own minds. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) hinders a large number of veterans who return from war time services through the military; not only having an affect on their own well being, but those they love as well.
The formation of the Brady Oberg Legacy Foundation started last year - a non-profit organization dedicated to serving those who have served us, by making you aware of PTSD and its effects, has been busy the last twelve months and here to tell us about it is Katie Oberg.

Dr. Marx was the first researcher to link the use of a popular anti-osteoporosis medication manufactured by the Merck Company (Fosamax, 3.6 billion annual sales) with the death of bone tissue in the jaw. He testified as an expert witness in court cases against Merck and the drug maker Novartis, who manufactured a chemically similar drug. His two textbooks on the subject guiding his colleagues on how to recognize and treat this malady have been best sellers. His textbook on oral and maxillofacial pathology first described this condition and won the Medical Writers’ Book of the Year Award in 2002.
