5. Concentration Camp Survivors
- "In 1960 I (Abram Hoffer) planned to study the effect of nicotinic acid on a large number of aging people living in a sheltered home. A new 1 had been built. I approached the director of this home, Mr. George Porteous. I arranged to meet him & told him what I would like to do & why. I gave him an outline of its properties, its side effects & why I thought it might be helpful. Mr. Porteous agreed & we started this investigation.
A short while after my 1st contact Mr. Porteous came to my office at University Hospital.
He wanted to take nicotinic acid himself, he told me, so that he could discuss the reaction more intelligently with people living in his institution. He wanted to know if it would be safe to do so. 

That fall he came again to talk to me & this time he said he wanted to tell me what had happened to him.
Then I discovered he had been with the Canadian troops who had sailed to Hong Kong in 1940, had been promptly captured by the Japanese & had survived 44 months in 1 of their notorious prisoner of war camps. 

25% of the Canadian soldiers died in these camps. They suffered from severe malnutrition from starvation & nutrient deficiency. They suffered from beri beri, pellagra, scurvy, infectious diseases, & brutality from the guards. 

Porteous, a physical education instructor, had been fit weighing about 190 pounds when he got there.
When he returned home he weighed only 2/3rds of that. On the way home in a hospital ship the soldiers were fed & given extra vitamins in the form of rice polishings (bran/germ). https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1466856420303192 
There were few vitamins available then in tablets or capsules.
He seemingly recovered but had remained very ill. He suffered from both psychological & physical symptoms.
He was anxious, fearful & slightly paranoid. Thus, he could never be comfortable sitting in a room unless he sat facing the door. This must have arisen from the fear of the guards. Physically he had severe arthritis.
He could not raise his arms above his shoulders. He suffered from heat & cold sensitivity.
In the morning he needed his wife's help in getting out of bed & to get started for the day.
He had severe insomnina.
For this he was given barbiturates in the evening & to help awaken him in the morning, he was given amphetamines. 

Later I read the growing literature on the Hong Kong veterans & there is no doubt they were severely & permanently damaged. They suffered from a high death rate due to heart disease, crippling arthritis, blindness & a host of other conditions. 
Having outlined his background he then told me that 2 weeks after he started to take nicotinic acid, 1 gram after each meal, (always with food) he was normal. He was able to raise his arms to their full extension, & he was free of all the symptoms which had plagued him for so long.
When I began to prepare my report [20] I obtained his Veterans Administration Chart. It came to me in 2 cardboard boxes & weighed over 10 pounds, but over 95% was accumulated before he started on the vitamin.
For the 10 years after he started on the vitamin there was very little additional material.
One could judge the efficacy of the vitamin by weighing the chart paper before & after he started on it.
Porteous remained well as long as he stayed on the vitamin until his death when he was Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan. In 1962, after having been well for 2 years, he went on a holiday to the mountains with his son & forgot to take his nicotinic acid with him. By the time he returned home almost the entire symptomatology had returned. 

Porteous was enthusiastic about nicotinic acid & began to tell all his friends about it. He told his doctor (who) cautioned him that he might damage his liver. Porteous replied that if it meant he could stay as well as he was until he died from a liver ailment he would still not go off it. His doctor became an enthusiast as well & within a few years had started over 300 of his patients on the vitamin (B3). He never saw any examples of liver disease from nicotinic acid (niacin). 
https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Nicotinic-acid (Try Niacinamide which is NOT flushing.)
I have treated over 20 prisoners from Japanese camps & from European concentration camps since then with equally good results. I estimated that 1 year in these camps was equivalent to 4 years of aging, i.e. 4 years in camp would age a prisoner the equivalent of 16 years of normal living. 

George Porteous wanted every prisoner of war from the eastern camps treated as he had been. He was not successful in persuading the Government of Canada that nicotinic acid would be very helpful so he turned to fellow prisoners, both in Canada (Hong Kong Veterans) & to American Ex-Prisoners of War. These American veterans suffered just as much as had the Canadian soldiers since they were treated in exactly the same abysmal way. The ones who started on the vitamin showed the same response. Recently 1 of these soldiers, a retired officer, wrote to me after being on nicotinic acid 20 years that he felt great, owed it to the vitamin & that when his arteries were examined during a simple operation they were completely normal. He wrote, 'About 2 years ago,
I was hit, was bleeding down the neck. The MDs took the opportunity to repair me.
They said the arteries under the ears look like they had never been used.' 

There is an important lesson from the experiences of these veterans & their response to megadoses of nicotinic acid.
This is that every human exposed to severe stress & malnutrition for a long enough period of time will develop a permanent need for large amounts of this vitamin & perhaps for several others. 
(Helps to take with low dose multi-B.)
This is happening on a large scale in Africa where the combination of starvation, malnutrition & brutality is reproducing the conditions suffered by the veterans.
Those who survive will be permanently damaged biochemically, & will remain a burden to themselves & to the community where they live. Will society have the good sense to help them recover by making this vitamin available to them in optimum doses?"
(Reminder, titer slowly up or down when on a RX or vitamin regime, taking lots of fluids.) (Also good for heart problems.)

Re-establishing Normalcy
- Understanding Emotions "Picture the brain is as an onion folded over like a fist, with millions of 2-way connections going in all directions & between all of the layers.
The brain can be thought of as having 3 major parts:
the neocortex (new brain), the limbic system, & the paleo-cortex (old or original brain).
The outer layer (neo-cortex) allows us to consciously integrate with the world, the middle layer (limbic system) allows us to process how our body and brain perceive & respond to the world, & the deep layer (original brain) manages the internal workings of the body. The neo- or cerebral cortex (also called your gray matter or cell bodies of the brain), plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, & consciousness...
The region of the brain just beneath the neo-cortex is often referred to by the collective term limbic system (a part of your brain’s white matter or connecting wires) & has a number of structures that help to integrate the outside world & the inner body. The components of the limbic system have multiple roles, many of which are affected or are malfunctioning with PDS. One role of the limbic system is to help to integrate sensory & motor signals between the body & the brain, so that we can be aware of & use our bodies effectively...Probably the most important role of the limbic system for folks with PDS is its responsibility in emotions & long-term memories...
2 key structures of the limbic system, the amygdala & hippocampus, are particularly important in dealing with significant events & stressors & in putting down long-term memories of these events. The limbic system is directly linked by nerves & brain chemicals to all of the organs & parts of the body that may be involved in these emotions. These linkages, particularly the vagus nerve, result in all of the bodily responses (sweating, rapid breathing, fast heart rate, tightening of the gut, bowels & bladder) to fear & other emotions. Fear response & conditioning (such as with PTSD, anxiety, or pain) are 2 common emotional issues that the limbic system regulates. The amygdala is the center of emotional memory, emotional learning, behavior, alcohol overuse, & long-term memory development. The other key structure, the hippocampus, plays key roles in long-term memory & spatial navigation. Although the amygdala may house the primary emotional responses to stress or trauma, it requires integration of the stress or trauma experience by the hippocampus to truly recall, be able to process, & clearly remember the specifics of the exposure. Otherwise, you may recall how you felt during your periods of stress (anxious, uneasy, palpitations, short of breath) without actually be able to objectively recall the specific events that initially made you feel that way.
This disconnect between how you feel about an event, what you remember about that event, & what you think may be causing those feelings is a common factor limiting recovery. Injury to or disease of the hippocampus, such as with PTSD or Alzheimer’s disease, results in memory problems & disorientation as the 1st symptoms...
The original or paleocortex (also part of your white matter brain or connecting wires) joins all elements of the body, from the nerves receptors of the skin, joints, & the internal organs to the action nerves of the muscles & heart, to the higher centers of the brain, including the limbic system & neocortex. In addition to providing the pathway for all of this sensory data to be transmitted to the higher brain, signals from the brainstem are essential to maintaining the minute-to-minute life functions of the body...
All our emotions stimulate us. They stimulate us to think & act in certain ways. It’s all part of the way our bodies & brains work. The emotions that we had as infants & children actually determined the way our brains are initially wired. These also determine how our brains are wired now. They determine what we like and don’t like, how hard we work or don’t work, & how we relate to others. We don’t always have to do what they say, but they prod us never the less...Emotions are chemicals & impulses” & that they are tied up with our thoughts."

Baptism COMMENTARY - When both we & our doctors fail to help us, be reminded the human is a spirit (offspring of our Father God Who is a Spirit).  1st our human spirit needs Holy Spirit intervention.  2nd we have a soul (mind/emotions/will-power) which needs remediation.  3rd we have/wear a suit of flesh which also needs attention.  We are a 3 part trinity just like the spiritual Trinity (Father/Son/Holy-Spirit).  Thus, each human needs a spiritual overhaul.  Spiritually we each need to invite God's Son, Yeshua/Jesus to be our Messiah AND Holy Spirit baptizer.  We do not realize the significance of this until AFTER (in same manner we do not recognize the power/relevance of intercourse until after it has 1st occurred in marriage or rape/fornication/adultery/other.  The prince had to awaken up Sleeping Beauty with a kiss.  Our human spirit needs to awaken to the kiss of Jesus.)

"This is what the Lord told me that He would do. Only He can do it. So as long as a person has the memories of the trauma, then you can say to them to just (during the prayer ministry only) focus on that feeling of that trauma like fear, or anger, anxiety, &/or when somebody put them down & they had a reaction.
As long as you activate the neuropathway of that particular incident of the trauma, then while its connected, you (during ministry) do the (hand)clapping & say (in Jesus' name)
"I command the power of this event & memories of
event & neuropathway to be 'cut off' (clap)."
Then say immediately, (in Jesus' name)
"this will be
replaced by brand new neuro-pathways of peace, love, safety & acceptance."
This is the supernatural way of eliminating PTSD (Post Traumatic Streee Disorder), especially in people with real life threatening experiences & that's deeply-deeply embedded, even like satanic ritual abuse" (SRA).
Regarding nightmares, "
What the Lord told me to do was as I have said:
I
ministered to her in the supernatural. When she was thinking about it & the visual images, that's when (where) the neurological connections have been made for those particular (traumatic) memories.
I said, (in Jesus' name) 'I cancel (Clap) & nullify (Clap) the power of
these memories of the event & the neurological connection be cut off,
& now
(I loose from heaven's storehouses, in Jesus' name) new pathways of peace, love & safety."

Safety is very important. She felt unsafe in her environment."

 
Hutchings, Mike @ Microsoft Word - Sid Roth 1102 Hutchings.docx 11/1/2021 - (edited excerpt)
SID: 1 of the traumas that most people have heard of is PTSD.
MIKE: PTSD is a mental health diagnosis, that means post-traumatic stress disorder, which means that a person carries enough symptoms of unresolved trauma that their mind & emotions are affected, (as to) how they feel about themselves (& others). They can have chronic nerve pain, suicidal thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares & night terrors that take them right back to that traumatic event. It's been famous with: military folks, 1st responders like police officers, firefighters & emergency medical technicians. But I'm saying to you, anybody can have post-traumatic stress, depending upon the level of trauma, because (most) everybody's had trauma.
The issue is, does it still haunt you today? Do bad memories & images still affect the way you think, feel & make choices or think about yourself? PTSD a disorder (medical/insurance label/diagnosis but spiritual revelation suggests that) unresolved trauma is a soul injury. Medical & psychological professionals say that they can help people with medicine & coping skills, but many of them say there is no healing for PTSD. I can tell you that over the last 7 years, I have personally prayed for thousands of people & trained over 10,000 people in how to bring healing prayer, to folks who carry PTSD. We have over 12,000 documented testimonies of people who have been completely set free from the symptoms of PTSD, where they don't have to be on their medicine anymore. They don't have to continue counseling. (Instead) they are praying for others & (God is) setting them free from PTSD because of the healing that they have received.

Long, Barbara - PTSD part 5: Emotional Trauma’s Impact on the Brain 6/18/2012 @  https://spiritualvistas.wordpress.com/2012/06/
"The hippocampus is responsible for memory & experience assimilation. Additionally it acts as a gatekeeper for new events; deciding if they are safe, something to be concerned about or even dangerous.
Basically, this is how it works: the 5 senses perceive an event. When the hippocampus gets word of what is going on it must decide several things. 1st it decides if an immediate response is needed (such as fight or flight), or if the event is a stressor at all, or maybe even if the event is a humdrum event. Basically it puts events in an index file in the brain. When there has been ongoing or unresolved trauma the hippocampus doesn’t sort as well.
It will take situations with any similarity to the original traumatic incident & label them dangerous, which in turn increases cortisol production, which further damages the hippocampus’ ability to process events appropriately. This is why survivors of traumatic events have a startle reflex.

The amygdala controls emotional regulation & in individuals with PTSD it responds to fear rather like Pavlov’s dogs responded to the sound of a bell. Where there has been repeated or unresolved trauma the amygdala goes into overdrive producing strong emotions even in reaction to minor events.
In PTSD the amygdala can actually be enlarged physically, like a muscle that is used constantly.
The reticular formation is located on the brain stem & has several functions: it maintains general wakefulness, handles habituation (decides what to tune out), keeps us in line with what we consider normal, & pushes out thinking that is outside our belief system. It impacts what we believe about what we can be and what we deserve in life. During traumatic events the reticular formation is opened & neural pathways are formed in ways that causes us (contributes) to believe that bad will always come. 1 of the reasons that straight cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is insufficient for trauma is because the reticular formation remains closed.
Lessons learned in CBT are remembered in the intellect but are not able to impact our emotional beliefs.
These 3 basic brain parts keep us stuck in trauma & impact our lives in negative ways.
1. The hippocampus shrinks and does a poor job filing memories away into appropriate areas of the brain.
It may wrongly alert the body that a critical stress situation is currently happening, or conversely it may look at a potential critical stress situation & miss all the warning signs thus not warning the body to protect itself.
2. The amygdala enlarges & over reacts to fear, anxiety & other uncomfortable emotions.
3. The reticular formation keeps us in the same thinking patterns & belief systems we learn from trauma."

Long, Barbara - PTSD Part 3: Staying Present When Your Past Invades Today 6/4/2012 @  https://spiritualvistas.wordpress.com/2012/06/ -
"Trust me; you are not going crazy. Everyone feels that way. Who wouldn’t when their past comes rushing into their present on a regular basis, when emotions are constantly raw, a sense of self & even personal history
(it the traumatic event was from a younger age) is suddenly confusing. You are NOT going crazy.
These feelings will NOT last forever...
(Jewish/Hebrew) Davening.
Ever see someone after a traumatic event rocking back & forth? It is an instinctive self-soothing technique.
If you watch web-streams of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem you will see people doing this while praying.
Give it a try & see if it helps you...
Some people find that deep belly breathing helps them calm down. Inhale slowly through your nose, & exhale slowly through your mouth. Use your diaphragm. Feel your belly pull in when you inhale & go out when you exhale. Pay attention to how it feels...
Maintain a list of soothing & relaxing activities such as walking, playing with your pets, gardening, etc...
Part of PTSD are the old tapes that play in the mind. Old messages & lies learned from the past experiences. Meditate on the truth. What does the Bible say? Dwell on the truth. Be careful that you don’t allow yourself to dwell on the negatives. Too often when dealing with PTSD people will focus on the judgment of God. If you are His you have passed out of judgment into mercy (1 Peter 2:9-10). Find 1 of those lists of scripture of who you are in Christ. Keep that to meditate on. Truth be known, we are better able to recall things we learn during times of trauma. That is part of why those old messages are so strong in your mind. Turn that to your advantage by memorizing truth when anxiety takes hold of you."  (Long recommends:) Aiko Hormann's Tools of the Spirit - www.aikohormann.org + www.xpmedia.com/channel/ahormann )
