About the Book

A VETERAN RETURNS TO THE LAND OF HIS NIGHTMARES IN DAK TO, VIETNAM. Dak To Rx is just what the doctor ordered for healing PTSD and coming home from war to peace. John Wesley Fisher is a man of many places and roles: seeker, chiropractor, surfer, traveler, and Vietnam Veteran. Dak To RX is a journal of his journeys throughout Vietnam (in particular a six week solo trip in 2012) where he finds compassion, acceptance, peace, and healing from the people he meets and the places where he walks upon the land. His nightmare becomes a dream of peace and healing. Fisher notes that it is "a sacred time being on the road," and his journey is a sacred journey of healing. He meets many Veterans (his former enemies of the war) and survivors of the American War in Vietnam along the way. What he learns from one former enemy is, "Now all survivors are the same...we didn't kill each other, so now we can be friends and teach the world about peace together."--David R. Kopacz, MD Psychiatrist, National VA Education Champion, Assistant Professor (Univ. Of Washington), Author: Becoming Medicine and Walking the Medicine Wheel (co- authored with Joseph Rael-Beautiful Painted Arrow) and Re- humanizing Medicine.I have been working with John Wesley Fisher for many years, and I've seen his work to help the Vietnamese people and the Vietnam veterans. For the Americans, PTSD after the Vietnam War is a big problem. This is not so in Vietnam and I think Bac Sy (Dr.) John has an honest understanding of the reasons because of the differences between Vietnam and American culture. There are so many Vietnam veterans who have PTSD and cannot be cured even though they have seen many psychologists, but a lot of them feel much better after the trip back to Vietnam as they can find peace for their mind here. Vietnamese people come from a great culture of community spirit with a big influence from Buddhism and Confucius' philosophies. Vietnamese can easily leave the past behind and live within the present moment. By just moving on, we can be better and we can have a better future. That is the way of the Vietnamese. The past is the past, the future is in front, and we live now. Being a tour guide on the trips with John Wesley Fisher, I have seen so many cases when the Vietnamese can forgive their former enemy, even to the one who may have killed their husband, wife, children, brother...that one only happens here in Vietnam. John understands that well. He has helped so many veterans to feel better after showing them and helping them to understand the real culture of Vietnam. Reading this book, you can understand more about what I talk about.--Vu Duc Anh, Vietnamese Tour Guide, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Dak To RX provides valuable insights into healing the souls of soldiers whose suffering results from their experiences at war. Only one who has experienced war and returned to the country of his nightmares, as John Wesley Fisher has, can offer this kind of depth for healing. Fisher guides us across Vietnam from the Mekong Delta to the northern frontier with China. We also meet Bol, a former Viet Cong soldier who guides him back through the jungle to a former battle field and profoundly remarks, "The war was a long time ago and we live today, and today there is no war"! This book is uniquely insightful and a valuable tool for healing the trauma of war. We need this wisdom as an effective alternative to modern mental health strategies. For Veterans of the Vietnam War in particular there is no need to travel back to Vietnam to receive this healing, it is right here in this book, Dak To Rx! By the way, if one does intend to visit contemporary Vietnam, Dak To RX is an excellent travel guide, but if you do intend to travel, your best in person guide would be John Wesley Fisher.--Michael Orman, PhD (H) (Medical College of Wisconsin), Vietnam veteran, Author: Souled Out; Conquering the experiences of war.
