Even those not in the gulf have the same types of ailments

I've had quite a few health problems since being in the gulf. The worst of which are rashes on my arms ( which burn like hell ) and blood in my urine . bad night sweats, and chronic pain . I've been to the docs. , dermatologists, neurologist, numerous times to get no answers. In Dec. 2000 I got a letter from the office of the Secretary of Defense stating that I may have been exposed to chemical weapons during demo of an ammo dump in Khamisiyah Iraq between Mar. 10 -13 ,1991. About a year later I got a letter stating that the levels of chemicals released weren't high enough to cause any side effects. ( Ahem... BULL-SH... !! ) Like I wasn't expecting that. Anyhow I'm wondering if anyone got that letter or is having the same problems. 'glorifiedgrunt' March 2, 2006

Even those not in the gulf have the same types of ailments. That's why Walter Reed Army Medical Center told me the gulf war vets were no more harmed than the general population (BS?) ... except for ALS

Well ... I suspect that many ailments in civilian and military since WWII era are this chemical's poisoning

And blood in urine in early years ... is proof of it (along with red blood cells that are small-sized and the rest of the CFIDS pattern of symptoms (Later look for abnormal peripheral blood info)

Are there enough of these to consider you have the pattern of symptoms that is generally called Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome?

Prove this chemical's fatigue and you have found the common denominator

What you are actually looking for is acquired compensated autoimmune hemolytic anemia. But it doesn't show up as doctors expect it to - initial blood info looks OK. LOOK at the red blood cells

Rashes - an autoimmune issue.

This is primarily an autoimmune issue. Many things are autoimmune

It is my opinion that doctors offer little hope.

I think the best help is good nutrition & glyconutrient food supplements

The idea is that you give the body what it needs to communicate cell to cell and the 'friendly firing, autoimmune' immune system can straighten out and the body can heal itself. My words. The glyconutrient company doesn't say it that way.

Anyone interested in a trial with 'gulf war syndrome vets' using glyconutrients?
