>RESEARCH TEAM IDENTIFIES GENETIC MATERIAL IN GULF WAR-ERA VETERANS: Mounting
>Scientific Evidence Shows Gulf War Vets Were
>Exposed to Chemical Agents
>Tampa, FL, October 7, 1996 --
>
>The detection of genetic material found in the blood of Persian Gulf
>War-era veterans was announced today at a national conference
>sponsored by the National Gulf War Resource Center. The study,
>led by research microbiologist Dr. Howard B. Urnovitz, is an
>important step in determining the potential research course,
>consequences, and treatments for Gulf War veterans.
>
>Persian Gulf War Related Illnesses (PGWRI) have similarities to
>illnesses associated with exposure to organophosphate poisons, such
>as chemical nerve agents, as well as many epidemics described under
>a variety of names related to epidemic fatigue syndromes (EFS). EFS
>have, in some cases, been described following specific viral infections.
>The ongoing study tested whether veterans suffering from PGWRI also
>had evidence of infections associated with EFS.
>
>"This study strongly supports the concept that microbiological markers
>may be associated with this veteran population," said Dr. Urnovitz,
>Chief Science Officer of Berkeley-based Calypte Biomedical. "We
>expect these findings to lead to the development of a diagnostic tool
>that would help identify individuals who may be susceptible to Persian
>Gulf War Related Illnesses." "We already know that the veterans
>appear to have immune anomalies that might put them at risk for
>common infections. The results of this present study suggest that RNA
>can be isolated from the serum of Gulf War veterans that appear to
>share some similarity to the enterovirus family. No similar RNA was
>found in the control civilian group," Urnovitz concluded.
>
>The study examined whether military personnel who developed
>symptoms of PGWRI had the presence of genetic material related to
>the group of viruses known as enteroviruses.
>
>Enteroviruses belong to a common virus family (there are several
>hundred different types ranging from common cold viruses
>(rhinoviruses) to those viruses that cause paralytic polio) and use
>RNA as their genetic material. Microbial agents can be detected by
>testing for genetic material that makes each agent unique. Serum was
>collected from subjects of three groups:
> - 22 randomly selected non-military civilians
> - 36 subjects deployed to the Persian Gulf
> [23 from California and 13 from Arkansas]
> 8 soldiers from Arkansas who were not deployed
>
>Using the new technology known as "gene amplification," the sera
>were analyzed for the presence of "nucleic acid bands." The
>presence of several unique bands were observed in 19 of 23 of the
>deployed California veterans, 10 of 13 of the deployed Arkansas
>veterans, 8 of 8 of the Arkansas non-deployed veterans, and 1 of 22
>non-military civilians.
>
>Analyses of the nucleic acid sequences indicated that they may be
>related to the enterovirus family. The results of the study also indicate
>that some aspect of military service may predispose individuals to the
>possibility of developing these Persian Gulf War related Illnesses.
>
>The eight soldiers who were not deployed are apparently healthy,
>indicating that other factors related to the Persian Gulf War experience
>are required to trigger an onset of illness.

>(immediately following)... "They" can "activate" GWS anytime by a
>missing ingredient, and those who are not already dead or deathly
>sick, WILL BECOME SICK and need the antidote or die. You have been
>lied to - it is laying dormant in most of you, (those who are not already
>exhibiting signs of illness from the Gulf).

>Dr. Marie Chow, Professor of Microbiology, Immunology and
>Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, one of
>the investigators of the Arkansas group, and a known enterovirus
>expert, cautioned that "while an actual virus has not been identified,
>this is an important first step in trying to determine what contributions
>microorganisms may play in the development of PGWRI. We still have
>a significant way to go before we understand the complexity of this
>multifactorial disease. There are clearly many factors underlying
>these symptoms."

>[by Peter Kawaja insert : Now the lies - er, damage control. Chemical Weapons
>are NOT contagious, BIOLOGICALS are ! Read it and weep.]
>One critical factor may be the exposure of veterans to chemical agents.
>"This was the most toxic battlefield in the history of modern warfare.
>Studies since World War I show that individuals exposed to chemical
>agents and related poisons have manifested symptoms similar to those
>of the Gulf War veterans," said James J. Tuite, III, an international
>security consultant and former director of the U.S. Senate Banking
>Committee investigation into the arming of Iraq and the health effects
>of the Persian Gulf War.
>
>"The high explosive weapons used to destroy Iraqi chemical
>munitions sites and secondary fires forced skyward vapors and toxic
>by-products from chemical agents. Weather patterns moved them as
>fallout over U.S. and coalition soldiers. As favorable conditions
>developed, the heavier-than-air gases fell to the ground where their presence
>was confirmed by multiple scientific techniques," he added.
>
>Tuite noted that other factors, including some preventive medicine
>measures and other occupational hazards could have exacerbated the effects of
>this toxic fallout. Supported by a growing body of literature,
>these exposures may have caused many of the veterans to develop a
>chronic autoimmune neurologic disease.
>
>Dr. Robert Garry, Professor of Microbiology at the Tulane University
>Medical School, and a known expert in the discovery of novel human
>viruses and autoimmune neurologic diseases, emphasizes the
>importance of this study. "If a virus is found to be associated with this
>disease, significant resources need to be dedicated to learn whether
>these microbes [ AHAAAAAAA - yes microbes, that's the ticket ! / insert
>by PK] are contributing to the illnesses of returning veterans and their
>families, as well as birth defects in their children after the war." [ so
>it IS contagious, thank you very much - by PK ]
>
>"Studies designed to detect microbial agents associated with
>organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathies and epidemic fatigue syndromes
>are important to understand the chronic diseases from
>which many veterans suffer," said Urnovitz. "These symptoms would
>appear different than the acute symptoms of toxic chemical exposure."
>"PGWRI are not only multifactorial, but are probably multi-hit illnesses -
>that is illness development actually requires a combination of several
>events.

>This study is important because it identifies a measurable factor which

>must be done to identify the other "hits" and to determine the role of

>Medicine and Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical
>Sciences and the Little Rock Department of Veterans Affairs Medical
>Center, and study coordinator for the Arkansas group. "We are seeing
>many symptoms of chronic diseases that have always been considered
>to have some viral component to them. It will be important to see if
>research yields the identity of a possible virus so that we can consider
>antiviral therapies as a possible treatment modality," said Dr. Jean

>California-Davis, Chief of Rheumatology, Veterans Affairs Northern
>California Health Care System, and principal study coordinator for the
>California veterans group. Dr. Urnovitz received his Ph.D. in
>Microbiology/Immunology at the University of Michigan Medical
>School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He began studying the origins of
>PGWRI in 1994. Dr. Urnovitz founded Calypte Biomedical (CALY:
