Einstein Quote

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein - (1879-1955)
Psilocybin should only be taken with a spiritual mindset in a supportive environment.

Army Surgeon General on diagnosing and treating PTSD

Army Surgeon General defends PTSD diagnostic method
Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho testified March 28 at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee, Defense subcommittee hearing on military health and said military hospitals use the same method as the civilian sector to diagnose post-traumatic stress disorder, known as PTSD.

"It's the one standard that's out in the civilian sector as well as the military. It's the best standard out there for diagnosing PTSD," she said.

(Lt. General) Horoho also addressed the pain management task force that was stood up two years ago to look into alternatives to the use of pain medications after officials determined more than 35 percent of wounded Soldiers were addicted. Former Special Operations Command deputy and now retired Lt. Gen. David Fridovich in December 2010 admitted publicly that he'd been a narcotics addict for five years as the result of the pain caused by a shattered vertebra.

"I do believe we're on the right track," Horoho said. "We've seen a decrease in the reliance of polypharmacy -- multiple drugs, and many of our warriors have used yoga, acupressure, acupuncture, mindfulness and sleep management vice narcotic pain medicine we're seeing better patient outcomes."
