The story I related was my own and a valid one. Just as your experiences are also valid and cannot be taken away.
On the one hand you say we are all "on the same team" but then are quick to frag someone for relating their own personal experience much like your buddy MH saying that a natural healer deserves to be attacked and shut down by states attornies for charging money for their services. Excuse me?
Might I suggest that the Vietnam war is over and that relating a personal story does not need to be interpreted as an incoming barrage from behind Viet Cong lines. PTSD is a tough one to clear and the trauma still appears to be quite raw I am sorry to say. So be it.
We are all on the same team. It is time for the healing to begin. Peace.
