Veterans With PTSD

Soldiers returning from combat with PTSD are not receiving needed help. Medical psychiatry and its pharmaceutical overlords are at root cause.

Conservatively, 30% of U.S. soldiers returning from frontline duty in the middle east have PTSD. This means many thousands of military personnel come home needing emotional and mental help...and few receive it.

Most are kept waiting weeks and even months for a turn with a professional. Many who have not received help have committed suicide out of despair.

It has been well established in the media and by citizen activists that the Veterans Administration is hugely understaffed and ill-equipped to provide these soldiers with the help they need.

Psychiatry and PTSD
Compounding the problem is that PSYCHIATRY REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT IT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND PTSD AND THAT IT DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO TREAT IT. Psychiatry's inexcusable ignorance permits it to be led by an avaricious pharmaceutical industry and unwisely prescribes drugs to these soldiers. Drug therapies are completely contrary to the needs of the traumatized soldiers.

Drugs will anesthetize them to their inner pain, improperly separating them from this inner experience. In time, drugs will create a perilous mental pressure-cooker.

For these soldiers to heal it is necessary that their inner pain, and all memory associated with it, be raised up from the depths where it has been suppressed. It must be brought up, to the level of consciousness, to be faced, felt and expressed.

Yoga Breathing
This is accomplished with yoga breathing. Medical psychiatry, in the main, avoids implementing yoga breathing because if people learn of the simplicity and effectiveness of yoga breathing it will have psychiatry appear to be over-hyped quackery...which it is.

Anyone can learn yoga breathing in just a matter of a few sessions, as opposed to the years of questionable psychiatric study. Psychiatry does not wish to risk loss of credibility and power.

Soldiers in need of help must be informed there is an abundance of yoga breathing coaches and breath therapists throughout the USA. To locate these healing services they must search the internet with the following key words: rebirthing, conscious breathing, connected breathing, circular breathing, cosmic breathing, vivation.

For yoga breathing to be effective meds must be avoided prior to the session. Ultimately, they must be weaned off the meds.

Holotropic Breathwork
Among the few psychiatrists that incorporate breath healing in their practice is Dr. Stansilav Grof in California. He set it to fast paced music and calls it holotropic breathwork. His site is: www.holotropic.com. He has a number of associates trained in the holotropic manner.

Leonard Orr, the renowned western guru of yoga breathing calls it rebirthing. His site, www.rebirthingbreathwork.com, contains many contacts to trained breath therapists.

An organization that teaches yoga breathing world-wide is Art Of Living, headquartered in India. Its website, pointing to many teachers world-wide, is: www.artofliving.org. Use the "Select a State" function for the USA.

The head of Art Of Living, a holy man named Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (not the sitarist) has been the guest of the United Nations Assembly a number of times, and was a recent candidate for the Nobel Peace prize.
