My daughter's father was diagosed with ALS in 1987 (passed away 2 years later). He filed a claim for benefits since he was a veteran from the Vietnam War. He firmly believed that his ALS was attributed to Agent Orange - albeit 20 years later. I am trying to find a common link so that I can carry on and help my daughter and other survivors and receive the benefits the vets were and are being denied.

If you have any input, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you. Elfie

I have not heard of this "Orange Anget" until I read your post. I researched it a little, and found that most people who were exposed DID have many health problems later in life. This is not surprisng to me at all. Some believe that TCDD is still used in drinking water in very small amounts. (concentration of 13 parts per quintillion) Some researchers believe it partake's a big part in hodgkin's disease. Many cancers are proven to be caused by TCDD. It truly and sadly does not surprise me one bit. I am a firm beliver that only a simple way of eating and staying away of every chemical that is man-made is essential for a long healthy survival. Meaning no preservatives or bleached sugars ETC. I shouldn't talk. I don't practice what I preach. I still eat the wonderful french fries and unhealthly things that are offerd. But I still stand by what I FEEL. That only healthy eating combined with the right modern day medicine will conquer all sickness. (including immunizations....)i am sure you knoe more about Orange Anget, can you tell me what you know? Thanks
