The Persian Gulf War begins as Coalition planes strike targets in Iraq and Kuwait.

It occurs to me that the Dept of Defense clearly states you were all healthy when deployed.

And it is obvious that with all the studies on 'gulf war syndrome' the doctors can not figure it out.

So, why do they take so long to tell me what exposures you had
to 2-butoxyethanol and diethylene glycol monobutyl ethers?

Why should we hunt and peck and look for the unobvious ones?

And what insult added to injury

I must add, though, that the USA doesn't think these chemicals are harmful, and the reason they must be saying that the gulf war caused no more harm to the soldiers than was found in the general population ... is because it is very likely a pandemic situation for all Americans: 2-butoxyethanol poisoning of many, many people, and NOT ONE getting an accurate diagnosis for the source of harm - only on the multiple secondary symptoms There is endocrine disruption, too; searing headaches are in area of pituitary gland

Maybe if one person got an accurate diagnosis, the next one would and so on and so forth. Give your doctor this info and hope and pray the doc will order the extra bloodwork and find the real cause of harm
