Gulf War Illness a Myth!

A report published in the British Medical Journal has claimed that Gulf War Illness is not caused by anything specific to that war, such as Depleted Uranium or untested chemical weapon vaccines, but that rather the symptoms described have been suffered by soldiers in all wars in the last century.

The report by Edgar Jones compared the symptoms to those of soldiers after the 1899 Boer War and claimed they were very similar. A Ministry of Defence spokeswoman said that it "provided useful information about the health of veterans after conflicts."

US veteran groups estimate that as many as 13 000 have died and 270 000 are suffering from Gulf War Illness.

Malcolm Hooper, Chief Scientific Advisor to the UK Gulf Vets would certainly have something to say about this bogus report!
