| "What about British and US government research grants and bio-markers for gulf war Syndrome? What about the relationship between ME and CFS researchers and the insurance industry? What about the reluctance of the major chemical companies and their insurance experts to agree upon the existence of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity? What about the power which medical research workers have to determine the treatment of thousands of powerless patients?" - Martin J. Walker, Skewed: Psychiatric Hegemony and and the Manufacture of Mental Illness in Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, gulf war Syndrome, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

 "Lest you be skeptical, we do in fact have a shining example of just such an event occurring in adults as a result of the government's brilliant inoculation program perpetrated on soldiers serving in the gulf war. These soldiers were required to take seventeen different vaccines over a short period of time, a massive assault on the immune system. As with the children and babies, many became ill and suffered debilitating disorders, many of which were neurological.
The Department of Defense recently admitted that there was a 200 percent increase in the incidence of ALS in gulf war veterans."- Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.) |
| "GULF WAR VETERANS: Captain Joyce Riley, who has headed the battle in exposing gulf war Syndrome, has noted that approximately 80- 90% of the gulf war vets are now on or have been offered one of the SSRI antidepressants. As a result many have had their lives turned upside down with others committing suicide or murder/suicide. When you see one of these tragedies keep in mind that if the perpetrator was a gulf war vet the chances he was on one of these medications is very high. This raises questions about Timothy McVeigh who bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City." - Ann Blake Tracy, Ph.D., Prozac: Panacea or Pandora?

 "One mini-epidemic of CFS, although not preceded by infection, did occur in veterans of the 1990-1991 Persian gulf war. Rates of this illness were approximately three times higher in these veterans than in veterans who never left the United States, and the incidence of illness was also higher in female than in male vets. The mini-epidemic onset of CFS in these veterans suggests that something about serving in the Gulf triggered the illness. The nature of that trigger remains a research question even today."- Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "A number of my patients are veterans of the first Persian gulf war, and many of them experience severe, medically unexplained fatigue. Many of these vets believe they got sick due to some exposure they experienced while on military duty, or perhaps to a vaccination they had to have for their military service. Although there is little evidence to support their beliefs, I don't tell them they are wrong, because we may never really know what triggered their illness." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) "If I took the other tack and simply told the gulf war veteran that his or her assumptions were wrong, that first visit would probably be the last. If the doctor is insensitive to the discrepancy between his or her take and that of the patient, the doctor will find the patient uncooperative and perhaps angry, and the patient will feel as if the doctor does not care or understand why he or she is there. Obviously with such a negative experience, the patient will never return. That's not what a good doctor wants to have happen." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.) |
 "Did the so-called gulf war Syndrome result from the fact that highly stressed American soldiers, already facing combat during the first Iraq war in 1991, were then given multiple powerful vaccines—as many of 24 different kinds—that their stressed-out immune systems were unable to properly defend against? In an aging population, were there particular stressors— such as mourning the death of a spouse, or caring for a spouse with Alzheimer's—that undermined already vulnerable immune systems?77 What about cancer?"- Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) "What was the effect of stress on the immune systems of other vulnerable groups: elderly people, gulf war veterans, cancer patients? In this period, it seemed as if there was no place in the body where stress did not stalk, and stories of stress became about as dark as they had ever been. From "Broken by Modern Life," we move to two alternative kinds of redemption narrative templates that both begin, in different ways, by emphasizing the effects of modern life on our health, but then offer two very different kinds of solutions to making things better." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "He has served on the Presidential Advisory Committee on gulf war Veteran's Illnesses, and as senior advisor on children's health at the EPA, where he also established a new Office of Children's Health Protection.
Dr. Richard Lathe qualified in Molecular Biology at Edinburgh and Brussels. With a special interest in Neuroscience, he is currently director of Pieta Research in Edinburgh.

| "All chronic illnesses studied (including gulf war Syndrome, CFS/ME, AIDS and multiple myeloma) show prominent RNA not observed in normal controls.
There is an increasing literature on the issue of ME/CFS being frequently diagnosed as multiple sclerosis; as recently as August 2001 one paper listed the similarity of signs and symptoms (numbering 28) and discussed the similarities of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in ME/CFS." - Martin J.

(Get the book.) "These relationships make his research work on gulf war Syndrome quite different from the work of his more independent colleagues and clearly involve conflicts of interest. Professor Wessely was one of the co-chairs of the 'NATO-Russia advanced research workshop on social and psychological consequences of chemical, biological and radiological terrorism,' held in March 2002 at NATO Headquarters." - Martin J.

 "And the Iraqi insurgents, by definition, did not come into existence until after the second gulf war in 2003. The U.S. government, by contrast, has been brewing disinformation in Iraq since well before the first gulf war.
Still, there's no denying that the press can do damage—lots of it. Back in 1990, the fellows in charge of the PR game came from a DC. firm, Hill & Knowlton, which hatched the first of many fables that took the country down the road to war."- William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.) |
 "Collectively, these mysterious new illnesses came to be known as the gulf war Syndrome." (O'Shea, pg. 140) Investigations followed, and investigation of investigations. Senators and committees came into view. The result? Unproven chemicals and untested vaccines were given to those soldiers. Well, what a surprise! The military has a history being used for dangerous experiments. But let us stay on Iraq war number one."- Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
 "An Expansion in Media Reporting of Business News
The first all-news television network, the Cable News Network (CNN), appeared in 1980 and gradually grew, with viewership boosted by such events as the gulf war in 1991 and the O. J. Simpson trial in 1995, both stories that fueled great demand for uninterrupted coverage. The public acquired the habit of watching the news on television throughout the day (and night), not simply at the dinner hour. CNN was followed by the business networks. The Financial News Network, founded in 1983, was later absorbed into CNBC."- Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "When the first gulf war began, the U.S. Air Force employed two squadrons of F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets to find and destroy Scud missile launch sites in the Iraqi desert. After a Scud was airborne, it would leave a light trail in the night sky, allowing the fighter pilots to narrow down the site of the launch to a few square miles. The Iraqis were using modified flatbed trucks as their launching sites, moving them around so they could launch from a different spot each night."- Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
| "In the end the report stated, there were 43% that had side effects from the vaccinations during the gulf war. Repeat: 43%.
The black book about military vaccination has not yet been written. Data on the first Iraq war exists; the 2nd Iraq war is not even evaluated yet. But this much is known, and again vaccinations were the talk of the day. And soldiers face demotion, fines and even dismissal when they don't obey. Despite the horrific findings, anthrax vaccine in 2003 was reinstated. Big Pharma started to recommend those vaccinations for the non-military personnel as well." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.) |
 "BUT WE STARTED ACTUAL RESEARCH ON MYCOPLASMAS AFTER MY STEP-DAUGHTER RETURNED FROM THE gulf war 101st ABN DIV AND CAME DOWN WITH gulf war ILLNESS AND WASHED OUT OF ARMY PILOT TRAINING AT FORT CAMPBELL. OUR WORK WITH TEXAS DEPT. OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE EMPLOYEES STARTED WHILE WE WERE HELPING EMPLOYEES WHO ESSENTUALLY HAD gulf war ILLNESS. WE FOUND THE SAME MYCOPLASMAL INFECTIONS IN THESE EMPLOYEES AS WE FOUND IN gulf war ILLNESS PATIENTS."- Boyd E. Graves, State Origin: The Evidence of the Laboratory Birth of AIDS (Get the book.) |
| "After the gulf war, backward-looking scientists called it "the Mother of El Nifios," a name worthy of the event. The exceptionally intense El Nino of 1982-1983 ravaged tropical forests in Borneo and brought floods to southern China and drought to Australia. Peruvian fish meal was so scarce that American farmers planted more soy as chicken feed. A poor harvest in the parched Philippines raised prices for coconut oil, soaps, and detergents. Renewed drought brought famine to the Sahel, and thousands of southern African farmers starved." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) |
 "During the first gulf war in 1991, remote viewers were asked to search for enemy missile locations hidden in the deserts of western Iraq.5 The project successfully pinpointed specific missile sites and eliminated other areas from consideration. The advantages of such a psychic search are obvious. By narrowing down the possible locations where the weapons could be, everything from time to fuel and money was saved. The greatest benefit, however, was to the lives of the troops themselves."- Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.) |

| "Parents want their children to get head CT scans for a bump on the head and abdominal CTs for belly pain, perhaps because we all tend to believe what the Air Force pilots thought during the first Gulf War: that photographs can't lie, that getting an image represents the surest path toward being safe rather than sorry.
Doctors say that when a patient demands a test, they often comply—even when they know the test is not warranted." - Shannon Brownlee, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine Is Making Us Sicker and Poorer (Get the book.) |
 "Our petroleum-dependent farming eats up oil faster than you can say "Gulf War," using ten calories of fossil fuel for every one calorie we produce. According to journalist Richard Manning, author of Against the.Grain: How Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization, the production of just one two-pound bag of breakfast cereal burns the energy of half a gallon of gasoline.
Even worse, as industrial farming pollutes our environment, it also pollutes our bodies."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "On the eve of the second gulf war, Barry made a batch of buttery popcorn, opened a beer, turned on CNN, and plopped down in his La-Z-Boy recliner for an evening of "shock and awe."
In Barry's world, the war has no consequence. Sure, he's paying more at the pump, more for his heating and electric, higher local and state taxes, and numerous social services have been cut, but that is the extent of Barry's sacrifice. The war had no real emotional consequence to Barry other than the inconvenience of higher bills and lower discretionary income."- David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "Several members of the scientific community have reinforced this argument against vaccinations by establishing a correlation between gulf war syndrome, which is predominantly characterized by chronic fatigue, and the vaccination program carried out by the military during the Persian gulf war. Although the federal government denies this, doctors have implicated the administration of multiple inoculations as a partial cause of gulf war syndrome, asserting that it was responsible for immune system debilitation in numerous servicemen and women."- Gary Null, Ph.D., The Complete Encyclopedia of Natural Healing: A Comprehensive A-Z Listing of Common and Chronic Illnesses and Their Proven Natural Treatments (Get the book.) |
 "Then, while no civilians were looking, during the gulf war in 1991, these "safe" chemicals (such as Deet and Roundup) morphed into battle-hardened warriors once again. In the late 1990s, advertisers shifted their tactics once more and began selling their chemicals as "environmentally friendly." Such doublethink opportunism punctuates the history of farm-chemical advertising and explains why it is so successful.
Farm magazines today still occasionally laud DDT and lament its loss."- Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.) |
 "Unexplained symptoms reported by veterans of the first gulf war with Iraq in 1991 have caused heated international debate. The symptoms reported include fatigue, skin rash, muscle and joint pain, headaches, loss of memory, shortness of breath, gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms, and extreme sensitivity to commonly occurring chemicals. Interestingly, the key to the puzzle of gulf war Syndrome (GWS) may be due to the particular combination of the numerous deadly chemicals that these soldiers were exposed to as a result of their posting."- Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets (Get the book.) |
