Chloracne is,a presumptive disease however any cancers,can be service connected to AO. DD214 AND ONE OF THREE MEDALS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE BLOCK TO BE CHECKED. I highly recommend the MAYO CL8NIC worked closely with Dr Carolyn Clancy, carolyn.clancy@va.gov, Dr Victoria Davey chief research scientist at VHA victoria.davey@va.gov as well as SECRETARY BOB MCDONALD bob.mcdonald@va.gov about these concerns. The three medals are V AND SM AND VCM FOR ARMY AND MARINES ONLY AND RVNGCWP FOR ALL BRANCHES. I would post these documents jpg. But cannot.

I have 33 autoimmune diseases with 4 cancers. Including ischemic heart disease and peripheral neuropathy in all of my limbs and bladder disease and thyroid cancer hypothyroidism and Parkinsons-like symptoms and more. I have died twice. From handling, mixing by hand and power sprayed AGENT ORANGE HERBICIDES ON GUAM FROM SEPTEMBER 68 to June 78

Teresa, would you mind expanding on the disorder caused by Agent Orange you are researching, There is a monthly newsletter that comes out from the VA/system- titles " Agent Orange Newsletter and the Research of health issues and health care" Go to the web: and type in www,publichealth.va.Gov go to the link for AO and there should a number of issues approved by the VA and the type of health problems that Veterans are struggling with. They list in the area you mentioned: " Peripheral Neuropathy, and the early onset". and one of the hard issue is Brain cancer - and many types of brain tumors/ My best friend died from brain tumors and was approved by the VA as AO- and his family did receive all the 100% disability befits. The Nero/Dr that diagnosed my AO Parkinson's told me because of the AO in my system the Parkinson's will increase much faster than the norm. But don't go way just what other people say or share with you- find out for yourself what facts do we really know and especially for your own situation. JJames

@johnjames Thanks for the website. Please give me a few days to look at it. I appreciate the additional information. JJames
