<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.maps.org/sys/nq.pl?id=2468&fmt=page#" target="_blank">Toronto Sun. "DND would consider using Ecstasy to treat PTSD: Top doctor."</a> By Kathleen Harris
<p>In this article, Lt. Col. Rakesh Jetly, a psychiatrist and senior health adviser for the Canadian Forces, said the department of national defence (DND) is committed to evidence-based care, and would embrace any treatment that has undergone rigorous scientific research to help relieve suffering of battle-scarred troops. &quot;If you replaced Ecstasy with substance X - whether it was an absolutely approved legal drug, a mainstream medication, my answer would be the same. The fact that it's Ecstasy means nothing to us,&quot; Jetly told QMI Agency. &quot;If there's any substance, any drug that has the research, the randomized controlled studies, the publications to prove its efficacy, we would entertain adding it as an approved treatment.&quot;</p>]]></description>
