Gulf War syndrome

That's right.

It's like what caused Gulf War Syndrome from the stupid vaccines.

And we were importing all kinds of animals around the world from China, including pigs, which carry those mycoplasmas.

They had to, weirdly enough, destroy a million pounds of pork that was being imported from into New Jersey because it tested positive for bird flu, supposedly, or the swine flu.

Thank you.

Uh, in this country she's been involved with peace groups, sustainability groups, 9/11 groups, uh, and of course, uh, uh, with Gulf War Syndrome.

And, um, anyway, she's the, she's a former member of the City of Berkeley's Environmental Commission, because everything seems to hook on the environment, as you probably know.

Uh, she's an organizer of the World Committee on Radiate- Radiation Risk.

Yeah, whatever his special d- na- niche or ability was, yeah?

Well, and that's, you know, this is where the first Gulf War Syndrome comes up.

Right.

Well, they were doing a lot of experimentation on-

Inquiring minds.

Former Canadian spies and security officials want parliamentarians to get to the bottom of what really happened to diplomats plagued with Havana syndrome and whether Ottawa did enough to help them.

A brewing storm.

An American ban on some Canadian imports is now in effect.

And if they hadn't found something to put their foot in, they really could have put their foot in it.

We're going to take a short break now.

When we return, a former CSIS director tells me what he wants parliamentarians to do about Havana syndrome and who he thinks might be behind it.

Stay tuned.

And then with my hands, just doing it, doing different procedures, like the hand part, because medicine is one of those things where you, it's used a lot of different parts of your, your whole being.

And so start getting really interesting insights where I'd start connecting the dots between things like hypermobility and which is when people's joints are a little loose with a lot of weird different diseases like chronic fatigue, fibro, post-concussive syndrome, Gulf War Syndrome, things like that.

Start connecting dots with environmental illness where you grow up.

Why is it that certain places in Afghanistan, people get sick? Well, there's lots of these things called endotoxins in the air in certain valley areas in Afghanistan that come from camel dung, of all things.

The Gulf War, 1990, 1991.

Something called the Gulf War illness started to pop up during and after the Gulf War where a lot of people in the military and veterans were getting sick.

So it's called Gulf War Illness or Gulf War Syndrome or Chronic Multi-Symptom Illness.

It is a chronic debilitating disorder affecting roughly one third of 697,000 US service members who were deployed to the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf War.

Now, in case you guys were wondering how long my mother was in the Navy, my mom was in Operation Desert Storm.

So my mom was in the military and was deployed during the Gulf War.

The symptoms of Gulf War illness are chronic severe fatigue that is not relieved by rest, widespread muscle and joint pain, memory loss, brain fog, and concentration difficulties, headaches, dizziness, and insomnia, gastrointestinal issues like irritable bowel syndrome and indigestion, as well as respiratory disorders and skin rashes.

So the causes and risk factors, the research points to toxic exposures during deployment in the Southwest Asia Theater of Operations.

was respected in these circles, apparently.

But then I can't tell how much he was maybe relegated to some sort of kind of Gulf War Syndrome conspiracy theory stuff.

Because what's very strange about these organizations that he founded, they all seem to be oddly tied into this Sufi lodge of his.

Okay.
