The microbes are expected to live up to seven years. 2) Protect your medical records. Obtain copies of military and civilian medical records for your use. If they are missing or if you are denied treatment at the V.A.., get it in writing. Do not provide them to attorneys without copies. Some attorneys who have filed class action suits are not going forward with them and are providing your information to the U.S. government. 3) We will be providing information regarding attorneys we feel can be trusted to pursue these cases in the interest of the veterans and their families. 4) We need your evidence to proceed with our investigation into the Gulf War Syndrom. If you are willing to split sand samples, etc. call (713) 587-5437. 5) The use of vitamins and minerals and herb preparations have been recommended to strengthen the immune system. If you have symptoms of GW illness, provide this information to your physician. Send us a letter documenting your illness, your attempt to get treatment from the VA Hospital or DOD. 6) Your donations are much appreciated so we may continue to notify the GW servicemen/women of the use of germ warfare. 7) Unfortunately we cannot respond to the large number of people requesting information about the Chronic Fatigue (CFIDS) at this time. We feel there is a correlation to the large recent numbers of CF patients and Dr. Nicolson will be doing controlled studies in the future. 8) Contact Dr. Nicolson's office at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (713( 792-7491 regarding testing for Mycoplasma incognitus. They test your blood for free (GW Vets and Families). However, your physician must make arrangements to get your blood sent to Houston. TREATMENT: There appears to be a treatment, if caught early, however it is NOT a cure for those suffereing with the Mycoplasma incognitus infection. According to the Journal of the American Medical Assn (Feb 11, 1995) the recommended treatment is Doxycycline (Tetracycline) 100 mg. two times a day for 10 days. Up to six courses of treatment have been required. For those who cannot take tetracycline, Cipro has been found to be effective. WHY? WAKE UP, AMERICA - Here it Comes!!!! It is NOT a Secret!!! The U.S. Government and the Department of Defense actively DENY the existence of the Gulf War Disease (AP 3-96). There is overwhelming evidence to substantiate the use of biological and biochemical weapons used during the Desert Storm (Ltr to Secretary of Defense William Perry from Senator Riegle - Riegle Report dated October 9, 1994. This report can be obtained from (202) 224-7391 or FAX 5137 - Ask for Senate Hearings 103-900, 103-983, 103-984. In the Riegle Report, you will learn that about 10 to 18 different biologicals were shipped to Saddam Hussein. These biologicals were MADE IN THE USA in Texas and Florida. The Riegle Report's states that these biologicals were shipped to the Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission. The disease(s) caused from the use of these biologicals are COMMUNICABLE and affecting not only the Gulf War Veterans but the spouses and children. A very high number of miscarriages and congenitally deformed children are being reported. There are immense political and criminal implications as it has been illegal under the Geneva Convention Regularions of 1972 to make, experiment with, distribute or sell germ warfare!!!! Just because you did not serve in the Gulf War, does not mean you cannot get the disease. It is communicable to the general population and can be transmitted via sex and perspiration as it is airborne. Animals can be carriers. This is not a story of the PAST but one that will haunt us in the FUTURE. The presenting symptoms are: chronic fatigue, night sweats, severe joint pains, shortness of breath, vision and hearing problems, rashes, benign and malignant rumor growths, and neurological problems leading to paralysis and DEATH. AFFIDAVITS NEEDED: If you served in Desert Shield/Desert Storm and have information regarding biologicals use, please complete a written affidavit or statement with the information you have. Keep the original in a safe place and send AGWVA a copy for your protection. If you served in DS/DS active duty or Reservist and are SICK - please write your story and send it to AGWVA. We need to know where you were, what you saw, what immunications you (think) you received along with what Scud activity you were exposed to. We do not say this lightly - your life and the lives of your loved ones are at stake. Approximately 12,000 have died and around 200,000 are sick. We must stand together and demand the antidote and answers from those who had knowledge of this horrendous insult to mankind. WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE GULF WAR SYNDROME? Contact your local media and challenge them to tell the TRUTH about the GW Syndrome . Tell them to call (713) 438-1699. AGWVA needs your financial support. Write to your Congressmen/women and Senators and demand an accounting of the truth behind the Gulf War. America's ugly secret is OUT. WE WILL NOT BE SILENT. Joyce Riley.
