“Veterans exposed on U.S. soil have had to wait even longer.”
The New York Times Magazine: The Army Thought He Was Faking His Health Issues. Turns Out He Had Chronic Lead Poisoning.
My Toxic Exposure Story:
After Lead Poisoning Symptoms Dismissed by PTSD Diagnosis, It Results in Brain Inflammation, Fatigue, Muscle Weakness, Digestion Issues & Chronic Pain
I Watched My Father Die From a Brutal & Painful Battle with Terminal Bone Cancer… And My Toxic Military Leadership Kicked Me While I Was Down
My Treatment to Prevent Cancer:
- Weekly Ozone Sauna to Sweat the Lead Out
- Weekly Homeopathic Infusion to Push the Lead Out of the Body
- Supersmart – EDTA 1000mg per Day – Calcium Disodium EDTA Supplement | Non-GMO & Gluten Free – 180 Vegetarian Capsules to detox the lead out of the body
- BioPure ZeoBind – 100% Natural Mineral Blend of Clinoptilolite and Mordenite Powder That Detoxes and Cleanses The Body to Support Immunity, Gastrointestinal Health, and Microbiome Balance – 200g to detox the lead out of the body
- Chelation Therapy (EDTA) infusions (this stopped after 8 infusions because the California Board of Pharmacy banned it from the State of California despite the fact that it’s the only recommended form of treatment by the CDC in the United States)
- Replaced all teeth after chronic lead poisoning went untested and untreated for over 20 years and created Burton’s line
“Living with symptoms is difficult,” an Army veteran said, “but living without validation and causation of your symptoms is maddening.”
REPORT: Ending the Wait for Toxic-Exposed Veterans
INFOGRAPHICS: A Century of Military Toxic Exposures and Presumptives
According to NBC News:
“…The symptoms emerged one by one throughout the pages: stomach cramps, incessant headaches and extreme exhaustion. By the time [Mark] Jackson made it back to Melbourne, Florida, in April 2004, the former marathoner said he could barely walk up a flight of stairs.”
“Jackson filed for disability compensation for all his ailments but said he only got approved for the thyroid disease. He is among many veterans who say they are waiting for the government to recognize that their illnesses are related to military toxic exposure, advocates say.”
“A report released Wednesday found that sick veterans have waited an average of 31.4 years from when they first made contact with dangerous toxins on duty to when the government acknowledged they were exposed.”
“Most recently, in August 2022, lawmakers passed the PACT Act, which expanded benefits to millions of veterans exposed to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan and other toxic substances. Before then, advocates said it was challenging for veterans to prove their sickness was related to their service in order to receive disability compensation. ‘In both those instances, and for many other military toxic exposures, it took decades for the VA and Congress to finally act,’ Wednesday’s report said. ‘Some died before achieving justice.'”
“Veterans exposed on U.S. soil have had to wait even longer.”
“In one of the largest water contamination cases in U.S. history, up to 1 million people who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune from 1953 to 1987 may have been exposed to a drinking water supply contaminated with chemicals that have been linked to severe health problems, including cancers and birth defects, federal health officials said.”
“The agency [VA] said it is conducting a scientific review to determine whether there is a relationship between toxic exposures and three conditions — acute leukemias, chronic leukemias, and multiple myeloma outside of the head and neck — for service members who deployed to Uzbekistan and other locations.”
