Assess the Collateral Health Damage before going to WAR - ever
We
lost 148 soldiers
in '91 Gulf war ...+ 195,000 of 'the syndrome'
We lost 58,148
in Vietnam war .... + how many of
'the syndrome?'
We lost 54,246 in Korean war ...... + how many of 'the syndrome?' We lost 405,399 in WWII ............ + how many of 'the syndrome?' We lost 116,516 in WWI .......... + how many of 'the syndrome?' We lost 863,153 in Civil war ........ + how many of 'the syndrome?'
or similar chemical in 'bomb fumes in one's eyes,
autoimmune hemolytic anemia is the fatigue you are looking for, if so
Memory loss is also part
of CFIDS signs as is other Central Nervous System damage
Why I suspect 2-butoxyethanol
- NOT agent orange
I
think there should be a new
guideline for disability approval:
autoimmune
hemolytic anemia of CFS, FM, CFIDS
squamous cell
cancer - Not
much help for this Vietnam Vet:
Nor these
either Cholangiocarcinoma
-
My
husband, a Vietnam Vet died on
Dec.2002. He had a rather
rare form of cancer,
cholangiocarcinoma. It is
not rare in Southeast Asia, in
fact it is at endemic levels.
It can be caused by a fluke
(parasite) in the water which
can attach itself to the biliary
duct and remain dormant for
20-30 years then cause the
development of this type of
cancer. I tried to discuss
the possibility that this might
be a service-related cancer.
Of course, as with Agent Orange,
no one was too terribly
interested in finding out that
there is another possible
service-related cancer for which
families would be eligible for benefits.
It
seems that acknowledging the
havoc of Agent Orange and the
other dioxins that caused several
types of cancers has been
enough. I am hopeful that
there are others out there that
have gone through the agony of
watching their loved-one
ravaged by this type of cancer.
My husband was a former Marine
in the late 50's and was briefly
stationed in Thailand, and
then a Green Beret medic when he
was in Vietnam. He was
diagnosed with PTSD but that
gave him only 50% disability
benefits. Nine tortuous
months later, my tall beautiful,
healthy war veteran was
laid to rest, a skeleton with a
swollen belly.
Please,
please if there is anyone out
there who knows anyone else
going through this trauma,
perhaps we can group together
and alert the VNA to this
possibility. It is too
late for me, but I would feel an
enormous amount of comfort if
someone else is diagnosed
properly and this cancer is
determined to be
service-related.

To
MELLOLADY 1, Hello, I'm
sorry to hear about your
husband.
Cholangiocarcinoma is
devastating. My husband
also died from this at 56 yrs.
old (3 months after diagnosis).
I too, am searching for answers
and I'm sure that the fact they
were also in VN is not a
coincidence and we have to continue
to investigate. Liver
Flukes can be a
"silent" infection for
decades and not know you have
it. There are many
chemicals the VNV were exposed
to on a daily basis and some of
them can also be the culprit.
I've been in touch with a few
family members that have a VNV
with this or had it. Hope
to hear from you and others.

Help?
What
helps for GI Tract &
Liver?
The Liver is an organ that helps get rid of toxins, Does Milk Thistle , a natural herb, help the liver? Also consider glyconutrients * AND good nutrition! Bob's comments on glyconutrients Mike says it helped his wife - 'breast cancer' Autoimmune Disease seems to be the root cause of much harm.
Good
to focus on good nutrition!
?
It is the most probable cause of much health damage through the decades How prevalent is CFIDS?
