Post back pain/surgeries

Any Desertstorm vets out there with back problems? I've had 3 surgeries on my lower back. Dr's couldn't understand the failed fusions.

Calcium depletion and rapid transit is rather common in Gulf War vets who served before the Gulf War. Specifically, sometime in the late '80s.

Cause of depletion is two-fold. The Air Force was required to guard missiles with rotating heads somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the Middle East beginning in the early '80s. Those missiles contain uranium, which is dangerous even before it becomes "depleted".

You can visit the lawyers who know it best by using the search engine of Baron & Budd, P.C., Dallas lawyers who won a whopping big non-class-action suit for the Little Pennsylvania town of Apollo (1998).

The double-whammy is that the rotating missile heads designed by TI and organized by a little Army post in northern Alabama (Red Stone Army Arsenal) were full of chemicals that kept the weaponized biological spores suspended in liquid until ready to fire upon whomever (Israelis? Sunni Muslims? Kurds?). Newsweek Magazine did an entire spread on that story in winter 1996 I think.

The U.S. sold all of that equipment, all of the chemicals and all of those biologicals to Iraq, and stored much of it in bordering Saudi Arabia. That's where American Air Force, Marines and Army came into play long before Desert Storm. I don't have privilege to post his e-mail address. But I have an Airman's medical records showing rapid-transit calcium depletion after serving a couple of years in the Gulf in the mid-80s. He's not in real good shape right now. And I keep custody of his records, because the good Lord willing, I'm gonna share information whenever possible.

That's why I'm in the information business.

I would like to discuss this calcium depletion in more detail. I have to use the library computer and sometimes my mothers, so I don't get to use the internet as often as I want. If I don't get back to you right away, just hang on. My whole arguement as far as my back goes is that I think that my service in the Gulf cause the degeneration of bone and disk in my body which then led to my injury of a herniated and then ruptured disk. I've been trying to find evidence to support this claim, got any advice?

Yes, I do have some ideas where you could start. The person whose calcium is depleting is suffering from deterioration of the major bones in his left leg. He also once had incredibly straight teeth. I think he still has them all, which means his roots are healthy, but his teeth are shifting inside the bones in his face. His teeth are crooked to the point he has to see a dentist about his bite and misfitting teeth.

This guy's exposure was in Saudi Arabia in the early to mid '80s. He was responsible for guarding those missile heads that rotate all the while they are stored.

From that, you can just about guess that calcium depletion is related to liquid chemical weapons or the uranium. I think I would search the Internet with an eye toward bone degeneration as relates to industrial worksite contamination.

Most plaintiffs lawyers in this nation look to the industrial worksites as the greatest hazards to civilians who suffer similar ailments to Gulf War vets. I would start with learning as much as you can about uranium, because it is the easiest to dispell if it is not the cause of your bone degeneration.

Chemicals will be terribly difficult to prove, because we don't know what all kind of chemicals were stored in those missiles, and sprayed all over the desert with mosquito spray trucks and crop dusters, which the U.S. sold to Iraq.

I'll try to track down this guy's medical records (he let me have them because I am so knowledgeable about the medical aspects of Gulf War Illness, but not the V.A. claims and appeals process). Those records should have some specific terms relating to degenerating bones.

I also wanted you to know that metals in your system may be off-kilter (magnesium, copper, zinc, iron). And that is caused from over-vaccination. The very process of making vaccines requires that they have mercury and aluminum in them. Vaccine cocktails mean you were intoxicated time and time again with at least those two metals.

In order for calcium to remain properly balanced in your system, metals must be balanced too. Specifically magnesium. If at all possible, you should ask for both blood and hair (from your head) samples to be tested for nutritional deficiencies and imbalances.

You might want to visit the "shot" website detailed in the "Resource Links" menu on the blue bar at the top of the Gulf War Syndrome menu page.

Thanks for the info, I will see what I can come up with on the bone degeneration and calcium depletion. And I look at the "shots" thing.
