Common Denominator Experimental Vaccines
Once and for all, I'd like to set the record straight with IOM, VA, NAS,
CDC and DOD.
Today's Study: Gulf War Syndrome Doesn't Exist is another in a long line
of irresponsible denials by agencies of our government in order to avoid
responsibility, accountability and liability for our government's use of
experimental vaccines and various additives and adjuvants on more than
20 years of active, reserve, and guard military personnel. This human
experimentation has been done without informed consent upon the human
guniea pigs we know as our protectors of freedom and liberty; our
Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Coast Guardsmen, active, reserve
and guards. Many thousands of Veterans and still active military suffer
from the results of such experimentation.
My son, a Navy Corpsman with the Marines left a strong healthy young man
for Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He came home a different person, not
only from battle issues, but his immune system had become compromised
somehow and he was beginning to exhibit from the cluster of symptoms
that which became called or known as GWS (Gulf War Syndrome), GWI, PGI
and other names.
In searching for answers to this thief of physical stamina, neurological
harmony and emotional well-being, one thing that stood out to me, a
common denominator was that both deployed and non-deployed personnel
were suffering from what some others were trying to say were
environmental issues specific to battle conditions.
I know that battle environments are unhealthy and that folks can be ill
from such exposures, like Agent Orange and radiation in my era, but I
have been around long enough to know if deployed and non-deployed were
suffering the same set of symptoms, there must be a commonality outside
of the battlefield.
In my search I was introduced to a group of exceptional researchers
including Dr. Pam Asa, Dr. Robert Garry and others, of Tulane
University. Their outstanding research work with the potential
involvement of experimental vaccines and adjuvants and the ramifications
to unknowing human guinea pigs has become a passion of mine beginning
shortly after the end of the Gulf War.
Along with their other hopeful scientific findings, the work done at
Tulane clearly showed the presence of antibodies to one or more
experimental vaccine adjuvant not lawful for use in any animals or
humans.
The adjuvant, Squalene, when injected into the living animal apparently
throws the auto-immune system into a type of hyper-drive; therefore,
bringing forth in the vaccine/adjuvant recipient an array of symptoms
(syndrome) which appears to be genetically predisposed specific to the
individual.
The following is some information that I have been able to glean may
prove helpful to those in need to know. I have shared this general
symptom, diagnostics, treatment overview with a large number of active,
reserve & guard military and veterans since shortly after the Gulf War
until now.
*Did you serve in the military between 1985 and 2005?
*Have you received Anthrax or other experimental vaccines?
*Do you exhibit or suffer from any of the following symptoms?
There are recommended diagnostic procedures and treatments available for
the syndrome of symptoms, frequently called Gulf War Syndrome, Persian
Gulf Illnesses, or Gulf War Illnesses.
Recommended Diagnostic Procedures for Gulf War Syndrome
It is recommended that one be seen, diagnosed and treated by an
immunologist or rheumatologist with extensive immunology training. If
suffering from neurological problems, it is recommended one be seen by a
neurologist, also with extensive immunology training.
-----------------------------------------------
GWS IS:
Autoimmune-Neurological Diseases with Connective Tissue Disorders. Many
are suffering Lupus-like and Thyroid autoimmune diseases. Not all
develop the disease processes or symptoms the same way or at the same
rate. GWS, being autoimmune has an ebb and flow action, with some days
being really bad and other days not quite so bad, in symptom severity.
-----------------------------------------------
GWS-SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE:
(These can have different degrees of severity within a
constellation)-Joint pain, muscle pain, rashes, photosensitive rashes,
mouth sores, hair loss anywhere on the body, lymphadenopathy, increased
allergic reactions, gastrointestinal problems, Raynaud's phenomenon,
autoimmune thyroid disease, Reiter's syndrome, uvetis, autonomic nervous
system neuropathies, autoimmune hepatitus, Sjogren's syndrome,
intermittent low grade fevers, headaches, cerebellar atrophy, cerebral
atrophy, memory loss, seizures, mood swings, autoimmune cardiomyopathy,
peripheral neuropathies, reactive asthma, pulmonary fibrosis,
polymyositis, MS, ALS and Lupus-like syndromes.
-----------------------------------------------
GWS-DIAGNOSTIC TESTING PROCEEDURES & APPROPRIATE TREATMENTS:
There are diagnostic testing procedures and appropriate treatments
available.
-----------------------------------------------
GWS-APPROPRIATE DIAGNOSTIC PROCEEDURES:
There are appropriate diagnostic procedures, for those GW Era Vets and
others with GWS illnesses and recommended treatments, depending on the
severity of the illnesses, for controlling and reducing the symptoms and
associated suffering.
GWS-RECOMMENDED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING:
Of importance is that the following tests need be done at the same time,
not in a 2 tiered approach. Some may be missed if part of the tests are
performed at different times. Also, if inconclusive at the time of
initial testing, it may be necessary to have the tests performed again.
-----------------------------------------------
GWS-THE TESTS:
FANA, ESR, CRP, CPK, Rheumatoid factor, C3, C4, anti-dsDNA, CBC (look
for anemia,
leukocytopenia, thrombocytopenia), SMA-20(look for abnormals), thyroid
profiles,
antithyroid microsomal antibodies, antiphospholipid antibodies, anti-MAG,
anti-MBP,
antineuronal antibodies, if having brain atrophy look for antiglutamate
decarboxylase
antibodies, for those with seizures, need exists for EEG's, MRI's, CT's.
GWS-RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS:
It is important to note that not all with GWS exhibit the same symptoms
nor do all progress in their illnesses at the same rate. Since that is
the case, not all treatments will be the same either. Treatments are
individualized to associated patient risks. Some do not respond to
various medications as do others. Treatments will also vary depending on
severity. All treatments should be decided upon by one’s health care
provider.
------------------------------------------------
GWS-THE TREATMENTS:
Some of the recommended treatments are: nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory
meds, steroid creams for rashes, cortisone, Plaquenil, Prednesone,
Sulphasalazine, I.V. Cytoxan, I.V. Gamma Globlin & Medrol. Use of the
individual treatments or in combinations will be physician determined
based on the results of testing and which syndromes or symptoms you may
have. For example, those with connective tissue difficulties, such as
inflammation of muscles, reduced muscle mass and strength, Polymyositis
& ALS-type symptoms, I.V. Gamma Globlin may be needed. For those with
Lupus-like symptoms, Prednesone, Plaquenil, and/or I.V. Cytoxan may be
required. If exhibiting Reiter's Syndrome, Sulphasalazine might be
prescribed. For those with brain atrophy and / or damage, steroids may
be useful.
Present this information to your DOD, VA or Private Care Medical
Physician for his/her professional consideration. If ignored or
downplayed by your Physician, you may wish to consider seeing another
Physician.
*Of important note; one does not require having been either deployed or
in the Gulf War, to be suffering the syndrome of symptoms frequently
called GWS, PGI, GWI. If serving in any military capacity anytime during
the 1985-2005 period, you may have received experimental vaccines
containing the reason for your current illnesses.

P.S.
Thank God, my other two sons (both Air Force) who served during the Gulf
War Era are not ill. I owe that in great part to the fact they never
received the experimental vaccines that their brother did. All three
sons blood was tested at Tulane for antibodies and these two sons were
negative. My son with Gulf War Syndrome was 2+ positive for presence of
antibodies.
