Yes.
For three decades no doctor could find the cause of my symptoms. The claim was that Agent Orange (exposed 1967-1968), except for the Environmental Protection Agency and other research findings, didn’t cause neuropathy (1969 to 2000). Then the reasoning continued that if dioxin in Agent Orange does cause neuropathy, it must only be the acute and subacute types since thousands of Vietnam veterans, with chronic neuropathy reported for help to the VA upon the announcement that it would recognize neuropathy from Agent Orange exposure.
The problem then became that since it is known that toxins including dioxin from Agent Orange are stored in the teeth, fat and bones of the body for decades, the claim is that the residual dosage is too low to cause a chronic neuropathy decades later. Therefore all the doctors concluded that I must not be ill or have a disease.
With all other causes ruled out and when many cases including my own showing linear proof of the connection between exposure, progression of symptoms, and response to treatments, the connection was affirmed and the cases were subsequently approved by the VA in a court of law. The facts and these cases have established once and for all that dioxin in Agent Orange does cause chronic peripheral neuropathy.
In the 1990’s Agent Orange it was claimed did not cause cancer (wrong again – thousands of veterans died without help – and the VA spent millions fighting their law suits in the 1990’s) until research in 2007 showed the VA wrong. Meanwhile thousands of Vietnam Veterans, exposed to Agent Orange with cancer decades earlier, died. Now we find out that cancer causes Peripheral Neuropathy and may be one of the early symptoms, let alone the fact that neuropathy is caused by chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
The research reported from the University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine in December 2007 settled the question that Agent Orange at any dosage is a toxin of the worst kind and a carcinogen of the worst order causing birth defects in the unborn, cancers, and other recognized diseases in Veterans and others exposed to it decades after exposure.
Lack of proof of a connection is NOT proof there is none; it only means we need to do the homework of research.
