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. >______________________________________________________________________ >This insert added by Peter Kawaja : >"are required to trigger an onset of illness" ?? , say WHAT, you sure ? > (remember the excerpt from Peter Kawaja's US MILIITARY ALERT ?: >(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.

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. > >[ read my lips, not George Bush's. >"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.

Clearly additional research >must be done to identify the other "hits" and to determine the role of >these findings in PGWRI," said Dr. Susan Guba, Assistant Professor 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.

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.
