What they are really hiding about the ailments found in the Middle East War zones? What's more, what are they really hiding about Morgellons? Does the next paragraph about leishmania sound similar to the symptoms which are being ignored in those who have morgellons? Why are we not being tested for leishmaniasis, at least to rule it out? There are many different forms of this disease, from nodules, cutaneous, diffuse cutaneous and visceral and they cause widely different symptoms. There are many different strains of the leishmania protozoa which also cause different symptoms. One of these protozoa is known as a flesh eating variety called leishmania vianna. Please understand I am not saying we all have leishmania, but I have to question why none of us who do have parasite symptoms are being tested for any type of parasite infections when it is known that many of them are being imported into the country from other areas of the world. What is being said about leishmania:
“Leishmania is a very variable bug, There still is much we do not know about it. Very few people in this country have any reason to know anything about it, whether they be MD's or whatever. Persistent skin rashes, blistery rashes on the scalp, sores or wounds that do not heal should all be considered for leishmaniasis.”
Leishmaniasis infections being found in some returning military troops are just one disease scandal which is being swept under the carpet by the military and the government. Service men in both in the Gulf War and now in the current theatres of operation in Afghanistan and Iraq are being exposed daily to these sometimes deadly infections, at times even passing leishmaniasis on to their families. Here’s one particularly sad story about how this disease can even pass to a spouse through sexual contact. The two children born to this serviceman contracted leishmaniasis in the womb. His wife has now died from a rare form of cancer, but before this happened she also had been diagnosed with leishmania. It is known that some parasite infections may cause cancer, but of course it will be difficult to prove this link in her case.
I think we know it could be connected, having lost some people with M to cancer as well. Sue Law, a M patient who has since passed away, posted pictures of dead parasites which were directly connected to her treatment for brain cancer. The lack of concern for all of us who possibly have parasite infections is stunning. The government seems intent on hiding the outbreak in the US of parasite and other serious infections which are spreading with the influx of undocumented aliens and with the return of our own troops who have served in areas which have serious parasite issues. There are also concerns about zoonotic causes for parasite spread. Now for the story of how one returning vet passed the leishmania parasite infection to his entire family:
Update Arvid and Janyce Brown case
VA Owes A Duty to Veteran and his family Veterans Today
This is a rather tragic case of a Gulf War veteran who contracted an infectious disease while deployed and later transmitted the disease to his wife who in turn transmitted it to their child in utero. The wife has since died. VA initially sought governmental immunity under the Feres Doctrine but, in an appeal by attorney Robert Walsh to the 6th Circuit, this was found to not be applicable in a claim against VA. Now a federal judge has denied the government's efforts to have the lawsuit terminated as a matter of law ruling that our case can proceed on the theory that VA doctors owe family members a duty to warn them of potential risks when the veteran has symptoms of an infectious disease.
Arvid and Janyce Brown Case
The U.S. Army activated Arvid for service in the Persian Gulf in January of 1991. Arvid arrived in Saudi Arabia a few weeks later near the end of January. While stationed in Saudi Arabia, he was exposed to Leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is borne by sand flies. Arvid received military provided medical care for the bites of sand flies while in Saudi Arabia. The Army released Arvid from active military service on June 4, 1991, a little less than six months after he arrived in Saudi Arabia. At the time he left active service, Arvid had not been diagnosed with Leishmaniasis. On September 3, 1994, more than three years after his release from active service, Arvid married Janyce Elaine Surface, who has since passed away. Ten days after the wedding, on September 13, 1994, Arvid received a medical examination from the U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Michigan. This medical examination was part of the “Persian Gulf War Registry” project. According to the plaintiffs, this examination did not detect Arvid’s Leishmaniasis. Janyce bore Arvid two children: Asa, born August 30, 1995, and Helen, born June 18, 1997. Arvid unknowingly transmitted his Leishmaniasis to Janyce through personal and sexual contact, and Janyce, in turn, transmitted it to their children in utero. Arvid was diagnosed with the disease by a civilian doctor on October 1, 1998. His wife and children were diagnosed with the disease about two years later on October 4, 2000.
American doctors worry that North American sandflies, which carry another form of the disease, could pick up the Asian strain from returned veterans. It could then spread through the general population.
