Fw: Gulf War Syndrome Report a Cover-Up

[Guest guest]

We have seen so many servicemen present with the same types of symptoms we

have experienced....there MUST be some type of connection to the chemicals,

vaccinations, and other toxins that have a negative effect on our glandular

systems, central nervous system, and joints, etc. I hope that some brave

souls will keep marching toward the truth, and that scientific fact will

prevail, NOT politics.

> Joyce Riley, a spokesperson for the American Gulf War Veterans

> negligence. We are aiding and abetting the enemy by not caring for

> A panel ordered by President Bill Clinton to oversee the Pentagon's

> primary cause of the headaches, memory loss, nervous system disorders,

> chronic fatigue and other unexplained symptoms described by thousands

> So far, no specific cause for these symptoms has been identified. In

> is no scientific evidence that long-term health problems suffered by

> Gulf War veterans can be linked to exposure to such chemicals and

> vaccines as the nerve agent sarin, the drug pyridostigmine bromide,
