Brookhaven National Laboratory has been awarded funds to do urine analyzes to detect Plutonium 239 in Atomic Veterans. You may be told that a urine analyzes can detect Plutonium 239 even if internal deposition took place 36 to 53 years ago. Supposedly, if Plutonium is not detected, then you were not exposed. Don't believe it and don't submit to such a trap by giving urine samples. William Brady, Scientific Advisor for NAAV states that, "When Plutonium 239 oxide from bombs or any other insoluble radioactive nuclide is breathed into the lungs it stays there or migrates to the lymph nodes where it causes cancer of the lungs or lymph nodes and other diseases. Only very small amounts of these nuclides are coughed up and swallowed and are then excreted in feces. Amounts in urine are nil and cannot be detected, so don't let the government or its contractor sucker you into this trap."

The United States started an offensive biological warfare program at Camp Detrick (today Fort Detrick) in Frederick, Maryland in 1943. Ten years later, the defensive program began. By 1969, the U.S. had weaponized the agents causing anthrax, botulism, tularemia, brucellosis, Venezuelan equine encephalitis, and Q fever.

Burkholderia (formerly Pseudomonas) pseudomallei is a gram-negative bacillus isolated from soil, stagnant streams, ponds, rice paddies, and market produce in endemic areas and can cause epizootics in sheep, goats, swine, horses, and seals. Humans contract disease from contamination of abrasions with soil but may also ingest or inhale organisms. Melioidosis is endemic to southeast Asia and northern Australia, but it may occur anywhere between 20 degrees north and south latitudes. It is most widespread in Thailand where it accounts for 19% of hospitalizations and 40% of deaths from community-acquired septicemia. Mild or subclinical infections are common; 80% of Thai children are seropositive by age five years.

Melioidosis most commonly presents as an acute pulmonary infection, but it may present as an acute localized skin infection or septicemia. Chronic suppurative infections often develop with secondary abscesses in the skin, brain, lungs, myocardium, liver, spleen, bones, lymph nodes, or eyes. Melioidosis may remain latent for years. Even months of treatment with appropriate antibiotics do not necessarily eradicate the disease. Histologically, caseating granulomas as found in tuberculosis are seen. Melioidosis has been called the ‘Great Imitator’ because the disease does not show any specific clinical features except perhaps the presentation of suppurative parotitis in children. Fulminant respiratory failure, multiple pustular and necrotic skin lesions, or the radiologic appearance of tuberculosis without isolating any mycobacteria suggests the diagnosis of melioidosis. Definitive diagnosis requires culturing organisms from blood or body fluids. No carrier state exists; recovery of organisms denotes active disease.

Antibiotic treatment should be based on sensitivities. Ceftazidime has been most responsible for reducing mortality. Treatment must continue at least 30 days, but 60-150 days is recommended for pulmonary disease and 6-12 months for suppurative extrapulmonary disease. Before antibiotics, 95% of patients died. The mortality rate for septicemic disease is over 50% and 20% for localized disease despite treatment. Overall, mortality is 40%. There are no available vaccines.

According to a Department of Veterans Affairs report released in 1983 Melioidosis is most active in Vietnam and according to the DVA is a parasite that all military and civilian personnel stationed in Vietnam came into contact with and most have contracted this disease. According to this DVA Roport it take 72 hours to properly incubate this parasite in a lab before it can be detected in the human body. It kills it's victoms within 24 to 48 hours from the time it becomes active.

Biological Warfare and Its Cutaneous Manifestations

According to a Department of Veterans Affairs report released in 1983 Melioidosis is most active in Vietnam and according to the DVA is a parasite that all military and civilian personnel stationed in Vietnam came into contact with and most have contracted this disease. According to this DVA Report it take 72 hours to properly incubate this parasite in a lab before it can be detected and identified. It kills it's victims within 24 to 48 hours from the time it becomes active.

A person can get this disease by simply breathing in the hot dry air blowing in through an open window or by breathing in the dust as they walk along a dry dirt road. This parasite can gain access into the human body through any open cut or it has been suggested that it can even pass through the pours in the skin. For those members of the American Armed Forces who were stationed out in the bush and especially in the rice paddies this parasite could very well gain access into their bodies through their penis, any small cuts or abrasions , and even through their anises. That is not counting their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Once this parasite gains entrance into the human body it can stay in a state of dormancy for 30 years or better. While in it’s dormant stage this parasite is passed on to others by means of sexual intercourse, sharing of eating utensils, and through the act of kissing a person who has this disease. Offspring are exposed to it at the time of conception and are born with it already living in them.

The real problem with this parasite is it’s ability to mimic other human diseases. In the early stages of activity it has been diagnosed as tuberculosis, pneumonia, and in some cases as hepatitis. It can even take on the characteristics associated with cancer in some patients. Once this parasite leaves the dormant stage and becomes active it reproduces and spreads very rapidly usually killing it’s victim with 24 to 48 hours.

Once this parasite becomes active "IF" properly diagnosed and treated it can be forced back into it’s dormant state for another 10, 20, or 30 years. There is a test for this parasite. It is a blood test which can be administered by any doctor. The blood sample is then sent to the Army’s Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID). The doctor must contact the USAMRIID first to learn the proper procedures required in handling and shipping the samples for incubation and study.

Previous blood tests have revealed that the spouses and especially the children of those individuals who have been exposed to this parasite are at greater risk of dying from it as are those who originally came into contact with it.

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs this disease first started appearing in World War II POWs who were held in Japanese Prisoner of War Camps. While it wasn’t as prevalent in those Veterans returning from Korea it has had a major come back in those Veterans returning from Vietnam according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Above all if you are a Veteran of the Vietnam War or if you have had sexual intercourse with a Veteran of the Vietnam War have yourself, your spouse, and your children tested for this disease today. If you wait until you start feeling sick you are already dead.
