Do they not care about veterans? There should be an endless stream of lawsuits against the VA, VBA, VHA, etc. I guess we simply are not important enough, rich enough, to get any justice after serving our country. Will any law firms stand up, help veterans? Do I hear ONE? No, did not think I would. It is all about the yankee dollars, in their pockets, not ours.

I was WTF, get me out of here. He was a pain in the ass, and I left totally stressed, and wanted to just shoot him right there. How do jerks like him keep their jobs at the VA.?

I use it responsibly as any other medicine, because it works, and has no ill effects. It is so much better than all of the prescribed drugs I get at the VA.

The forgotten group of vets.

We vets here in Michigan are allowed to use it while patients at a VA medical center. It sure helps me cope with PTSD symptoms.

It is very old technique. Sometimes it works on a patient, sometimes it does not. As they say, throw everything at the wall, and sooner or late something will stick.....

I also would like to thank my great doctors, Dr Brian Hays, DO and Dr. Biber, MD., both at Battle Creek VA. These two docs have saved my life a few times in my struggles with chronic PTSD and other conditions. Most of the staff at my VA are really great, helpful folks. The best new year to you all.
