Healing Terrorism Sickness
By Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D.

Author, psychoanalyst, specialist in Critical Incident and Post-Trauma Management


IN TERRORISM, the numbers of persons affected are huge; terrorism is *meant* to affect thousands and millions of people --all at the same time. Most think terrorists' main aim is to kill people and destroy installations. This is only secondary. (Yes, I know that sounds unbelievable, but it is so.) The main goal of terrorism is "intentional trauma" to the living. The murder and mayhem are SECONDARY goals.

The concept of doing ongoing psychic injury to thousands and millions "all at the same time" is an important tactic of terrorists. Terrorists understand, if only in their diseased unconscious's, that accomplishing such will unleash a greater communicable and spreading "psychic infection" than any biological or germ warfare could ever hope to achieve.

This "infection" that terrorists hope to circulate is that of innocent persons becoming afraid of life, afraid of the future; of causing people to put off the living of life, to move in ways that are far less than their previous free selves. The effect of living in such a crouch hurts the human spirit and heart. The main goal of terrorism is "intentional psychological trauma." Murder and mayhem are only secondary and sometimes even tertiary goals.



Stealth Viruses: Nature's Biological Weapons Program

Man has evolved in constant competition with disease causing microbes. Major epidemics of rapidly developing, easily identifiable infectious illnesses have occurred throughout history, leading to major losses of human life. Examples include the Black Plagues of the Middle Ages and the 1919 worldwide outbreak of Influenza. Less rapidly evolving human infections, such as the progressive destruction of the immune system by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), were slower to be recognized by healthcare providers.

ME (CFIDS) Being Misdiagnosed as MS!
By S. Blair, M.D. The National CFIDS Foundation *
The Stealth Virus Support Group

It is not unusual for a patient with classic ME/CFIDS to be misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). I know of several diagnosed MS patients who have been sent to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital's MS specialist, Charles M. Poser, M.D., FRCP, only to return to their diagnosing physician with a diagnosis of ME(CFIDS). This scenario was even seen with one patient of an internationally known expert! The National CFIDS Foundation has questioned members who write of their immediate family members being diagnosed with MS. Indeed, it is an alarming and prevalent mistake.

Traditional [Native American] Indian Medicine: Treatment of Chronic Illness:
Lewis E. Mehl-Madrona, M.D., Ph.D.

Clinical Program Director Center for Health and Healing Beth Israel Medical Center
Development of an integrated program with conventional medicine and evaluation of effectivenes.

Increasingly, traditional Native American healing practices are being requested by Native Americans and non-Natives alike. A series of meetings among traditional Native American healers and the author resulted in a dialogue between the Native American world view and that of biomedicine. Recommendations arose for how treatment should proceed in the modern world and how best to introduce interested non-Natives to Native American healing practices. An approach was developed for bridging cultures to facilitate the interaction of non-Natives with traditional healers.
