Grande mal seizures -
for
military and others?
There was a comment 2-15-04 on a
gulf war vets discussion forum from
a gulf war vet who had had a grande
mal seizure, asking for input.
A
Green Beret
just returning from Afghanistan
has the assorted 'gulf war syndrome
symptoms' and also said he had a
grande mal seizure & it almost
took his life.
This is something to do with the
Central Nervous System?
"In young
people
seizures can
be from
metabolic
disorders,
such as
abnormal
blood levels
of sugar
(glucose),
calcium,
magnesium,
vitamin B6,
or sodium.
Seizures
starting
after age 25
may be
caused by
structural
damage to
the brain
such as from
a head
injury,
stroke, or
tumor. When
no cause can
be
identified,
seizures are
called
idiopathic.
People with
a seizure
disorder are
more likely
to have a
seizure when
they are
under excess
physical or
emotional
stress or
deprived of
sleep.
Strong
stimuli that
irritate the
brain--such
as injury,
certain
drugs, sleep
deprivation,
infections,
fever,
low levels
of oxygen in
the blood,
or very low
levels of
sugar in the
blood--can
trigger a
seizure
whether a
person has a
seizure
disorder or
not. These
seizures are
known as
"provoked
seizures."
Avoiding
such stimuli
can help
prevent
seizures." |

Some interesting
points.
When you have a lot
of ailments, docs
prescribe a lot of
medication. This
Green Beret said he
was on way more
medication that he
was used to taking.
I am sharing this
info (and more)
hoping he will get
an accurate
diagnosis & stop
this carnage among
our troops today. He
also talked about
the bones hurting in
the back and neck.
Can this type of
fatigue lead to
paralysis? Symptoms
- technical terms -
Autoimmune Hemolytic
Anemia info
Checking Retic ratio
may give an
indication that
hemolytic anemia is
on the 'horizon'
The current military
man had a lot of
exposure to the
solvents in gun
cleaning compounds,
but try as I might,
I cannot find out
what these solvents
are.

Maybe in the interest of National
Security - Product Developers will
give up their proprietary
ingredients, which most likely
weren't supposed to be proprietary
in the first place
such as CLP
