Shows a Link between ALS and a chemical known as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and a Drug named pyridostigmine bromide injected into 250,000 soldiers to counter act the posible effects of chemical warfare. [I] have the rest of this article for whoever is interested . Geo

George, my son-in-law suffers DSS and is on partial disability for it. He has pain in his hips so badly sometimes that he can't hardly walk or get up from a sitting position. Once in a while he can't breathe first thing in the morning so stays in bed. He was in Irac only 3 months and drove trucks of water through the oil fires. I know he was given many innoculations, including those that would prevent bleeding out through his pores if exposed to chemical warfare. I am very interested in your article. Thanks. Marjorie
