My own personal feeling is that abductionists should always recommend psychiatric counseling to their subjects from the outset - but should stress that such recommendation is for the purpose of PTSD or EAT therapy only and not (necessarily) for the treatment of some perceived psychosis. A disclaimer should be signed, and thereafter if the patient balks at the recommendation it becomes his/her problem (from a legal standpoint). >From the standpoint of the licensed practitioners, on the other hand, who might charge abductionists with practicing medicine without a licence, I feel such charges are unwarranted. First, most states do not require a license for "counseling", and as long as the abduction therapy is conducted strictly within this context, I don't see a conflict. Second, if counseling abduction victims is considered "medicine", it might be incumbent upon mental health professionals to show where Abduction Syndrome is a "disease." THAT could prove interesting....

I've suggested to Lynn that she and/or her coworker contact you here. jbh My co-worker S.W. observed a UFO a year or so ago. She later had a series of nightmares which gradually faded. Recently she had the following dream which seemed quite realistic and disturbing. I knew something was wrong. Instinctively I ran to one of windows looking out on the backyard. An intense panicky feeling overtook me as I saw the huge dark metal disk hovering outside. There was no sound and no lights. Fear was over powering and my mind began to race. I turned away from the window and began to run from the room into the hallway. I thought if I could reach the front door and could get outside, I would be safe. For some unknown reason I knew deep inside my efforts were futile. No sooner had I stepped into the hallway then I felt my body began to slow down. My steps were quickly becoming labored, my movements slow and awkward. The panicky feeling was slipping away and my breathing began to slow. I stood in the dark hallway, finding myself needing to lean back against the wall. Just standing was becoming a difficult task in itself and against my will, my legs gave out and I slid slowly down to the floor. My arms fell limp against my side, even my head felt heavy, so heavy that when I heard the rustling of other bodies around me, I could not look up. I simply stared at my legs outstretched in front of me. I was aware that several of them were standing around me, others moving about the dark house. There was no fear anymore, I could hardly feel anything. One of them bent down next to me and laid out several things beside her. I somehow knew it was a female even though I could not move and lift my head to see. She took my left arm in her hand and I watched as another hand handed her a syringe. As terrified of needles as I am, I wanted to cry out, but my mouth wouldn't worked. I watched in horror as the needle penetrated the back of my wrist. Surprisingly there was no pain, not even a prick. For some reason this fascinated me. I felt another hand on me, reaching for my hair. The one who had taken my blood, asked me if I was still taking the medicine. This confused me somewhat. I couldn't remember taking anything, but strangely I tried to say yes. I couldn't open my mouth, but I heard her say "Good" There were a few more details of an intimate nature that S.W. did not wish to reveal. She woke up before the exam was complete. She later examined her wrist but saw no evidence of a needle insertion. Any comments? -- John Hicks - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: David.Jacobs@f21.n1010.z9.FIDONET.ORG (David Jacobs) Subject: Budd Hopkins Date: 29 Apr 92 06:56:35 GMT Budd Hopkins had a kidney problem that was corrected with surgery. A potentially difficult situation was caught in time and there are no residual effects. Everything is now all right and no other therapeutic regimins are indicated. We all held our breath and then breathed a sigh of relief.

As I remember, that show was on at 4:00 a.m. Denver time. It was hard to imagine that anybody would be listening at that time. It was difficult enough for me to get up at 6:00 a.m. to do the show. The best thing about the show for me was that Barber let me ramble on for much longer periods of time than do most interviewers. Therefore, I could pick up a head of steam a little. Anyway, thanks much.

I would like to see David Jacob's comment on realistic dreams, having had a few myself (but nothing as scary as your friend, John). Did she describe what parts of these creatures she DID see? Did their hands look human or otherwise. Did she hear the creature speak with her ears or in her head? Keep us posted of further details, if possible.

It did not appear that you were leading people toward any direction of personal bais only presenting the facts. Good job. Now, I want to ask you something. If the guy that got drunk was able to resist the greys mind control and dance around the room. Doesn't that suggest that some kind of medication could help to resist these things? What about learning hypnosis as a means of fighting their mind control, would this help? You said that you had little data on men that have been abducted after having had vasectomy's but that women have been abducted even after having had hystorectomy's. Just to give you one more little piece of information. I have had numerous sightings (in the sky) since I was a kid, and you know my most recent experience. I had a vasectomy 15 years ago. Finally, I noticed that you have a support group going for abductees, what is available here in Central Florida? I'm still hanging out here in no man's land.
