Agent Orange and Neurological Disorders

Posted by Teresa, Volunteer Mentor @hopeful33250, Oct 2, 2016

I just read a post from a veteran who discussed the effects of Agent Orange and Parkinson's Disease. It made me wonder if there are others who have had similar experiences? If so, is there anything you have learned from your medical team and/or the VA regarding this? Please feel free to share your story.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

I forgot about the monthly AO Newsletter. I believe we received one or two in the beginning, but they have stopped. Thanks for that. I'll look into getting it again. Do you get it be physical mail, or by email? I can't open the site here. I'll try to copy & paste it in Safari.

The AO NEWSLETTER IS A BIG LIE AND COVERUP OF WHERE IT WAS USED. I PERSONALLY DORECTLY EXPOSED THOUSANDS OF VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO AO HERBICIDES ON ANDERSEN.AFB GUAM AND OFF BASE. THOUSANDS AND THOUSAMDS OF ARC LIGHT VETERANS DIRECTLY EXPOSED TO AGENT WHITE, AGENT BLUE, AGENT ORANGE , SUPER AO AND SILVEX POWDER AND CRYSTALS . I U3ED THEM ALL ON GUAM. DR ROBERT HADDOCK CHIEF EPIDEMIOLOGIST FOR THE GUAM DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES PROVED WHERE I PERSONALLY HANDLED MIXED AND POWER SPRAYED IT KILLED THOUSANDS OF UNBORN BABIES AND COUNTLESS THOUSANDS OF VETERANS AND CHILDREN ON GUAM FROM CANCERS, BIRTH ANOMOLIES, AND MANY AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES LIKE MS, PARKINSON'S, ALS, DIABETES II, ETC.

Thank you @johnjames for the reference to the US Department of Veteran Affairs website, in particular the section on Agent Orange. Here is the link http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/

macbeth- I get the AO Newsletter in the mail ( a hard copy) you can find it on line- there are now more than 20 sites about AO- you have to read them carefully, some are not from the VA standards and disability guild lines.JJ
