At a warehouse near Dallas, a black Lab named Papi tugs on a rope to open a fridge and passes his trainer a plastic water bottle with his mouth.
Service dogs are often trained to help veterans with physical disabilities. Now, a growing number are being trained to meet the demand from vets with post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues.
Those dogs learn extra tricks — how to sweep a house for intruders, for example, so a veteran feels safe.
“We teach them something called perimeter, where they go into the house and they check, they just touch all the doors and all the windows,” says Cheryl Woolnough, training director at Patriot PAWS, a nonprofit in Rockwall,

These dogs also learn how to create personal space for a veteran by stepping in front or behind the owner to block people from approaching.

During my fourteen years of success with CES, Cerebral Electrotherapy Stimulation has become a world-wide accepted phenomenon. Having made numerous devices using the simple circuit, shown at __http://www.redcircuits.com/Page19.htm, I have had only favorable reports from users. Many persons who used the home-made CES reported favorable responses after 20 minutes of usage. All reported better sleep and less anxiety after daily usage for five or six days. CES devices no longer require an M.D. prescription, and prices vary. However, daily usage of a CES will bring recovery from PTSD symptoms. An excellent article is at_ http://www.curezone.org/forums/am.asp?i=924711 which also includes reference to one specific, excellent CES device.
