Re: my heart aches

You're quite welcome my dear. Quite welcome.

Obviously I was lucky. I knew better than to go to the VA for help. To this day I have never taken a prescription or over the counter drug.

I've had two lives this lifetime. The original Ken that said adios in June 1970, third day in Cambodia, 6 hour firefight. The Vietnam Ken arrived. The problem with that is it took quite a while to understand that "I" the original Ken, was gone. My efforts the past 40 years have been to get him back.

Fortunately I had a great childhood and could remember what "normal" was. The Vietnam Ken finally left August 22, 8PM, 2005. "I" was back. No, there's no way I can adequately explain that to anyone.

Once back I got to work. Wrote "No More Parades" and "It's not Illegal". Put a web site together - felt things out for a while. Put "The Natural Healing Paradigm" on CD, reworked my web site and have now gone public with what I know and my experiences.

When I have to be on TV or Radio or even giving a lecture or publicly speaking it's very intimidating for us guys. I don't want to do it. Then I think about guys like your father and all the other vets that didn't make it, that didn't even have a chance to make it, and I do it. Never before in the history of man has there been a war like Vietnam. They stole our lives from us.

You know, I try to explain this to my own kids and they aren't interested. All they knew was their father wasn't "normal". My kids were fathered by the Vietnam Ken and he's not here anymore so I don't really blame them. They're polite to me but that's about it. Don't care to know about what "really" happened. Or the effort it took to overcome it.

I have many people to thank for my survival. Starting with my father who showed me and insisted I be "normal". No vaccinations or drugs. All the way to Barefoot for keeping John Christophers work alive. Palmer, Clark, Schulze, Hoxie, Donsbach, Eidener, my first love, all the prayers people petitioned God with, and many others.

It's too late for your father now. Any Natural Therapies he might try will put him in further jeapardy. I made a prolonged effort to help the Vietnam guys a few years ago but they couldn't get off the drugs the VA had them on. Plus, there's other factors that have to do with the war and not wanting to change anything as long as you're alive and safe.

When you see your father again tell him about me and tell him I'm going to spend the rest of my days trying to make "them" regret the survival of even one Vietnam Veteran. I will do everything in my power to inform the world about contrived wars and contrived terminal diseases. And most of all what they did to us.

I know where he's been and I know where he is right now. Tell him I love him and appreciate him more than you could possibly know. No offense to you, he'll know what I mean.

No more lies, Doc
