Re: pesticides

[Guest guest]

,

What's interesting about that is that many of the soldiers coming back from the

Middle East are also being effedteed.  So are a large number of the police and

fire personnel that were at the twin towers.  This disease sure should not be

hitting our little ones-- and it does rarely. I don't know much about how long

Agent Orange stays in the enviroment- so is this a genetic issue for him?  I

sure hope that he doesn't have NS-- my heart goes out to you and him. 

Sarcoidosissharma may have some answers for you.  I'll try to find some info and

send it on.

Take care,

I have posted a couple of times about my son (9 years old) and it is looking

increasingly

likely that neurosarc. may be my son's final dx.  He was always ill as a

toddler, young

child... often ill for 3 weeks out of every four... and I mean really high

fevers, etc., etc.  Not

just normal childhood stuff.  All the docotrs said, " He'll grow out of it. "  

Yeah, right.

Anyway, I have done some research and reading and come across the fact that some

Vietnam War vets are receiving disability as they  effectively proved their

sarc. was caused

by Agent Orange exposure during the war.

This is of interest to me as my son is Vietnamese and was adopted from an

orphanage in

Phu Yen province. 

If anyone knows more about sarc. and pesticides (especially Agent Orange), can

you please

let me know.  I'm looking for all the info I can get my hands on,

, If you go to the links in the email below there is a lot of information, I looked and did not find exactly what you are looking for, however I did run across the National Jewish hospital website, and you may find information on agent orange exposure there, I believe it's Nationaljewish.org, or just google National Jewish, Denver Co and you will get it, let me know if you find some answers there. Hope this helps, this disease is bad enough, but to have your child have it, I am sorry, our children should just be able to get sick and my heart filled feelings are with you. Marl a
