PTSD Help 2000 is designed to help combat veterans suffering from
post traumatic stress disorder from traumatic events and stress causing
situations.
This syndrome, or disorder, can cause the veteran to display symptoms that
in past
wars were called shell shock and then battle fatigue, and are usually accompanied
by a strong case of survivor's guilt. The treatment, therapy, counseling
and
medication provided by the VA are the same as treatment for rape and other
civilian traumas, but there are important differences. Combat veterans suffer
from being the aggressor not the victim. This results in a shattered self
image
that requires repair, (usually by helping others), and most importantly,
the veteran
must forgive him/her self in order to heal.
Now with helpful advice from Patience Mason,
Editor, The Post-Traumatic Gazette and
author of Recovering From the War!

Marines, dependents, Naval personnel and
civilians who lived and worked aboard MCB
Camp Lejeune in NC from the 1950s through
1987 may have been exposed to highly
contaminated water. More than 70
chemicals
were found in the water and many of them
are known carcinogens. The U.S.M.C. is
asking anyone who was at Lejeune between
1957 and 1987 to register on their website at:
www.marines.mil.
The Mesothelioma Cancer Center provides
a complete list of occupations, ships, and
shipyards that could have put our Veterans
at risk for developing asbestos-related
diseases. In addition, they have thousands
of articles regarding asbestos and
mesothelioma and they’ve even created a
veterans-specific section on their website
in order to help inform them about
the dangers of asbestos exposure.
