The medical community estimates that up to 85% of North Americans live with parasites inside their bodies that can cause chronic illness and diseases that are often undiagnosed. Parasites are DEFINITELY a problem here and not just in the Third World.
You might have parasites in various parts of your body, including your brain.
"We have a tremendous parasite problem right here in the U.S. It is just not being addressed." - Dr. Peter Wina, Chief of the Patho-Biology in the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in 1991
"In terms of numbers there are more parasitic infections acquired in this country than in Africa." -Dr. Frank Nova, Chief of the Laboratory for Parasitic Diseases of the National Institute of Health.
According the Department of Veterans Affairs there are over 30,000 different species of parasites indigenous to Southeast Asia and Vietnam in particular. Of those we are only able to identify less than 6% and of that less than 6% we are only able to effectively treat about 3%. The most common being tape worms, liver worms, heart worms, etc..
They are carried by mosquitoes. This is one of the more common way they are spread. However that is not the only way. Some of them are able to get into a person's body through the pours in the skin. Others are transmitted by sexual contact with an infected person. Yet still others are spread when they are inhaled or breathed in through the mouth or nose and yes even through a person’s eyes and ears. These are air born hitchhikers. They attach themselves to microscopic grains of dirt and dust and on a hot dry day when the wind is blowing they are picked up by the wind and are carried up into the air where they are breathed in by whatever person or animal may be near. The person may be sitting in an office near an open window or outside walking down a road.
While some of these parasites are harmless and some researchers believe that we could not survive without them, many more are harmful to their hosts and will kill them over time. The problem is that while some of the more common parasites can be detected and treated the vast majority can not be detected until after the host is dead and they are discovered during an autopsy.
Yet others have been misdiagnosed. Because by today’s standards of medical diagnosis and testing they can and many time do present themselves as some other disease or condition. This in far too many cases leads to improper Treatment or even worse no treatment at all.
A 46-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of swelling of her left breast. A x-ray examination revealed that 2 x 2 cm nodule was noticed in subcutaneous tissue. Breast cancer was suspected and the resection was performed. When her breast skin was cut open, a white string like parasite ran out.
For those Veterans of our African and Southeast Asian conflicts this also a very well kept secret by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The DVA has known about this ever since the end of World War Two when our POWs were repatriated and they were reintroduced to the problems during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
In the Department of Veterans Affairs attempts at denying Veterans their claims for a Service-Connected Disability Compensation the Department Employees only look for those things that cannot be a Veterans problems. All they are interested in is if a specimen sent to them for analysis is cancerous or not and nothing else. If something else pops up all they write on their report is that it is not a cancer and they let it go at that. It is the old, "If we do not look for a problem. Then we will not see a problem. Therefore no problem exists."
The American people in general just as much as America’s Veterans need to have an active and on going research program where the Department is actively looking for potential problems as well as known ailments. Whenever we send our young men and women into a foreign country we need to know that they are not carrying a potentially dangerous if not deadly infection with them when they return home. As it stands right now. The Government is too afraid of having to pay a Veteran compensation to even want to look. This has opened the door for far too many diseases; bacterial infections , viral infections and parasitic infestations, to escape into our society unchecked and spreading like a wildfire. We must rely upon the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, and the Centers for Disease Control to catch these things before they become a problem. But they don’t and the reason why they don’t even look for them is because they are afraid that they will end up owing a Veteran a little bit of money. We find this extremely unacceptable.
Between the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Medical System, the Department of Defense’s Medical System and the Centers for Disease Control we should have a very good if not the world’s best defense against these kinds of diseases getting in from some other country. But we don’t and the reason why we don’t is because they are not looking for them. Our Government spends millions possibly billions of dollars going to other countries on the pretense of trying to find solutions that they have totally ignored the American population which is already heavily infested simply because the Government refuses to pay it’s just debts to America’s Veterans and their families.
The United States Government is so intent on punishing those who are presently serving and who have served in the United States Military that they purposely ignore any and all potential health risks to the general public.
It is for this reason that we are highly encouraging anyone with a website to put a copy of this "page" on their website. Along with our Supimental Statement, Letter of Disagrement, and our request for Back Pay to the date of our Discharge. There is no charge. We need as many different sources for this information made available to whomever may need them as we can get.
If you do not have a website and you would like to help. You can make copies of this page and hand them out at Veterans meetings and/or on the streets. This could include taking them to your local homeless shelter and handing them out there and even handing them out at your DVA hospitals and clinics. We need to force the United States Government to pay it’s just debts and to start an active campaign to fully protect the American population against any and all such infestations. Thank you.
