PTSD: The Silent Enemy

Addiction, alcoholism, failed marriages, failures as a parent, on and on. Homelessness. Yes, PTSD takes no prisoners and does not discriminate.

(DANANG, Vietnam) - Fear, paranoia, procrastination, self destruction, isolation, depression – I can go on and on with adjectives and descriptions. The feelings are so familiar to so many of us.

Australian Vietnam Veterans Call Attention to Illness, Suffering

An open letter to the Government of Australia addressing the ongoing concerns of Vietnam Veterans and their families.

(MELBOURNE) - Make no mistake. Our families and we Vietnam veterans have been poisoned by one of, if not the most deadly chemical known to man. The human cost of this poisoning has yet to be totaled. The two most important features of this killer are the slow effect rate and the diverse symptomology.

That is, its effects are delayed. After being ingested by the body, it is stored in the fat tissue only to be released at a later time.

Russian Prisoner: Private Phillip Leveque
A Very Lucky Dogface

Folks you are reading about a very lucky AMERIKANSKI.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I still get chills down my spine when I think about it even though it happened 65 years ago.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I am constrained to write this new story about successful Autism treatment because of an article I just read from TIME magazine May 25, 2009 titled HOW AUTISM AGES.
