1. George Kafantaris George Kafantaris United States says:

    Genetic markers also have a direct link to Gulf War Illness that affects one in four of the 700,000 veterans who served in Desert Storm -- and may possibly have contributed to the untimely death of General Norman Schwarzkopf.
      
    These veterans were exposed to sarin gas from our 1991 bombing of the Iraqi chemical plants. Worse yet, the veterans were administered diabolical immunization pills to help them live through a nerve gas attack.

    Dr. Lea Steele of Baylor’s Institute of Biomedical Studies had this to say about the connection between a veteran’s genetic makeup and Gulf War Illness:

    “It has long been known that genetic differences can produce differences in how individuals metabolize certain chemicals. These results [published 1/20/2015] are important because they identify a specific genetic factor that would plausibly put veterans at increased risk for GWI in connection with a chemical to which personnel were widely exposed during the 1991 Gulf War.”
