No thanks. There ain’t enough money in the world to make me do something like that. I’ll stay here and help my neighbors.

What did his parents do that made him so angry?
Interesting read. I’m interested in knowing why he had to forgive his family, when it seems like they were nothing but supportive?
Thank you so much for posting this.
Not to be insensitive,but I will anyway. Under ZERO circumstances should anybody be allowed to go to a sh*thole and come back especially from the sh*thole that has the ability to spread a societal killing Pandemic. Anything ever good come from Africa post Colonialism besides death,disease,despair and dysfunction?
As long as there is no real cure for Ebola virus-caused disease those infected will die painfully. Do not be misled. You have only one life to lose. The only hope is quarantine....enforced quarantine - to stop the spread of the disease.
Crazy that he was in the control group, does that mean he was given placebo to see how he reacted while others infected received treatment?
No I didn’t read anymore than the excerpt.
I believe he needed to be taught to feel gratitude minute by minute and to turn all of his focus to thoughts of joy and pleasure and contentment (all determined by him). The hours he spent recycling all the bad emotions gave him nothing but more bad emotions. He was truly in an emotional loop.
I’m not saying medicine can’t help the severe PTSD patient, but it has limitations. It is far more important to have someone help you inpatient every hour of the day for a couple weeks re-focus on the good. Be in the moment of eating a delicious fruit popsicle, say, slowly savoring in the present. Then watch a fun sporting event, take a walk in nature, pet a sweet animal, watch a comedy, read something uplifting, listen to great music you love, the whole day, every day, for weeks. Therapy should consist of RELIVING POSITIVE, BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES instead of wallowing in the bad feelings from illness and recovery. Yes, feel the bad feelings. But it seems he was, and had, and it was time to hold his hand to teach him how to focus on gratitude. Within or without his religion. The point is that your thoughts create your reality, and he was heavily medicated for so long, he needed 14-30 days of learning how to create POSITIVE FEELINGS. They and gratitude lead to happiness. I wish him success.
Ebola has a 90% mortality rate. He is one of the 10% who made it.
This one made it thru the Tx border but died while in Detention.
