that led me to this Hope,
TERROR TURNS INTO TOXICITY, TOXICITY INTO TERROR
My warning in Canary about the Gulf War veterans went unheeded. Why? Because the experts of the Department of Defense (DOD) were unable to reach beyond the old and obsolete one- cause/one-disease/one-drug model of thinking. They could not—or did not want to—accept a simple fact of human biology: At a cellular level, terror turns into toxicity, and toxicity into terror. Both terror and toxicity feed on each other, and cumulatively lead to cellular oxidosis, acidosis, and dysoxygenosis.2-5 It is important to point out that I did not find a single reference to severe and persisting derangements of redox equilibrium and oxygen homeostasis in the sick veterans of the 1991 war in hundreds of reports on the subject. therapy satisfactory responses to deepening energy and immune crises of the sick veterans.
Needless to say, psychological evaluations were not an acceptable substitute for laboratory tests to detect crucial defects in cellular energetics. Nor were the prescriptions for sleeping pills, anxiolytic drugs, antidepressants, and talk
THE CHALLENGE
In this column I challenge the DOD to consider a proposal for the prevention of the Iraq War-associated sickness ("I-WAS") based on an energetic-molecular model of chronic disabling illness focused on solid scientific evidence for redox dysequilibrium and oxygen dyshomeostasis seen in persons with intracellular accumulation of toxic substances—metabolites of the Krebs cycle, products of impaired hepatic detoxification pathways, mycotoxins, mitochondrial uncouplers, and others.6-9 Why should the DOD consider my proposal for this clinical trial? I ask the DOD to consider the following three quotes, one from Navy News and two from The New York Times:
1995: Navy News:
Gulf War Syndrome—Who's Addressing the Issue? Long before the first veterans returned from the Persian Gulf Dr. Majid Ali, associate professor of pathology at the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University in New York, predicted five outcomes: (1) That a large number of service men and women in the Persian Gulf region would return with a variety of chronic environmental, immune and stress-related problems; (2) The disabling fatigue would be a dominant clinical feature while other symptoms would include recurrent infection, food allergy reactions, abdominal problems, disorders of mood and memory, and skin rashes, among others; (3) That sick veterans would initially be dismissed as malingerers and labeled with various psychiatric diagnoses and prescribed large doses of mind- numbing drugs; (4) That the chronic health disorders of these veterans would worsen with multiple drug therapies; and (5) That when everything else failed, these veterans would be prescribed long-term broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy that would play further havoc with their bowel systems. Five years later these predictions are now observable facts. Headlines debate the cause and fate of those men and women who left healthy and returned home sick—nearly 75,000 at last count. (Navy News, September 13, 1995)
1996: The New York Times:
Current evidence does not support a causal link between the symptoms of chronically ill veterans of the 1991 war in the Persian Gulf. (Report of the President's Advisory Committee to President Clinton, quoted by The New York Times, October 15, 2004)
2004: The New York Times:
Chemicals Sickened Gulf War Veterans, Latest Study Finds: A federal panel of medical experts studying illnesses among veterans of the 1991 war in the Persian Gulf has broken with several earlier studies and concluded that many suffer from neurological damage caused by exposure to toxic chemicals, rejecting past findings that the ailments resulted mostly from wartime stress . . . the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses concluded in its draft report that "a substantial proportion of Gulf war veterans are ill with multisymptom conditions not explained by wartime stress or psychiatric illness." (The New York Times, front page, October 15, 2004)
NO TO $5 MILLION FOR THE SICK,
YES TO $450 MILLION FOR THE SYNDROME
Truth was systematically perverted during discussions of the Gulf War syndrome. Stated bluntly, the health and lives of the sick veterans were sacrificed at the altar of the pseudoscience of the one-disease/one-cause/one-drug model of the prevailing medical thought. Am I being melodramatic? Consider the following three quotes from the prestigious science journal Nature concerning the issue:
Nature, October 19, 2000 (page 819):
Desperately seeking a syndrome--The US Congress should stop pushing researchers to invent a medical definition for Gulf War syndrome, the collection of maladies associated with veterans of the 1991 conflict in the Persian Gulf.
Nature, March 8, 2001 (page 135):
Fracas over $5 million Gulf syndrome grant. The battle over Gulf War syndrome has broken out again . . . this time over a US $5 million grant. The funding has been granted without peer review, to the laboratory of clinician Robert Haley, whose research on veterans is controversial. Ross Perot...Hutchinson's action. "Those goofballs in the Pentagon are trying to just sell stress [as the cause of Gulf War illness] and not do anything for the men," he says.
Nature, July 4, 2002
On 25 June, an advisory panel appointed by veterans' affairs secretary Anthony Principi concluded that research into whether neurological damage had been caused by vaccination or exposure to nerve agents "should be aggressively pursued," and recommended that Congress commit $450 million over three years to the project.
