Thank you, Chair.
Dr. Douglas, in your bio it states that you have expertise in sanctuary trauma, which is the psychological mechanism by which invalidation, dismissal and betrayal by authorities not only perpetuates both physical and psychological injuries but actually impedes healing and makes the injury substantially worse.
As we've been studying a lot of issues around veterans, I have sensed over and over again that a great deal of the added stress, illness and trauma is due to having to try to prove that they are ill and this whole question of benefit of the doubt.
Could you speak to that a little as to the issues around mefloquine? There's a lot of information out there. We know it's there. We know we need more study, but in the meantime, what is your sense on this specifically for veterans who were forced to use this drug, had no recourse and are suffering now?
