GWS causes many illnesses which are real and terrifying. It can be both lethal and moderately contagious. It can be communicable through casual and intimate contact of bodily fluids from sexual exchange and by airborne contact by coughing and perspiration, making for secondary infectees. GWS is not imagined as the U.S. Dept of Defense has alleged for the past 5 years while refusing proper medical care and benefits to the vets and their families. To date GWS affects well over 160,000 of the Gulf War veterans. This ever-growing statistic does not include the secondary infectees: the wives, children, other family members, friends or associates who are sick, disabled, dying or dead.

Whole families are now ill. Their babies are being born with severe congenital defects and deformities, including being born with one or more missing limbs, missing an eye or ear or organs, and blood disorders. Sixty seven percent of babies born to Gulf War vets are affected, and over half of all babies born in Iraq since the war are affected. Even their pets are coming down with the GWS illnesses and dying. Iraq is also reporting alarmingly high increases in rare and unknown diseases, primarily in their children. Kuwait is also affected, as are the British veterans of the Gulf War.

At the end of the Gulf War, in March of 1991, the Pentagon hailed the war as a virtually bloodless victory-- for the U.S. But it may take decades and generations before the true casualty count is known.

Symptoms began immediately in some cases, but mostly they have appeared 6 months to 6 years after the time of exposure. They can get progressively worse until the victim is partially or completely disabled.

• Sarin a deadly nerve agent, same as used in the Tokyo subway attacks.
• Mustard gas, a blistering agent that can burn flesh and lungs.
• Fallout of biological agents released during and after allied bombings of Iraqi chemical warfare munitions facilities.
• Anthrax and Botulinum toxoid vaccines and several other experimental vaccines, all forcibly administered to US troops as guinea pigs. (There are remedies of these listed below.)
• Vets were also exposed to at least 21 potential reproductive toxicants possibly harmful to them and their future children.
• Pyridostigmine bromide, an anti-nerve agent pre-treatment drug forcibly administered to the US soldiers; it's use in conjunction with Deet insecticide repellant may have been noxious.
• Fifteen Germ warfare agents such as mycoplasma fermentans and incognitus which infects human cells and damages them.
• Last but not least, and this one has remained mostly hidden from public knowledge: Depleted Uranium (DU) in the American and British weapons and armor used in the Gulf War. Troops and the civilian population were exposed to weapons made from radioactive depleted uranium. DU is the most deadly cause of GWS. It consists of deadly radioactive nuclear waste and it is capable of causing almost all of the symptoms of the Gulf War illnesses.

DU was used in warfare for the first time in Operation Desert Storm. It was the Pentagon's first live field test of armor-piercing bullets, tank shells, and tank armor made of this deadly radioactive nuclear waste. Because of DU's ability to penetrate steel, it has become a popular weapon with the brass. When fired, a DU shell combusts on impact, and as much as 70% of the material is released and turns into an aerosol of radioactive uranium particles. It becomes an irradiating powder in the air. It travels in the wind or becomes mixed with dust and dirt. It can be inhaled and ingested and it can be trapped in the lungs or kidneys.

'Depleted' Uranium is a cleverly deceptive term for the radioactive by-product of the uranium enrichment process. 'Depleted' does not mean non-radioactive. Depleted uranium is radioactive, with a half life of 4.4 billion years.  It now contaminates battlefields, military bases, proving grounds, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who handled it, and the innocent victims of war. DU remains imbedded in soil, water, and bodily fluids long after its use, where millions can come into contact with it. When these highly toxic uranium particles enter the body, they become lodged in major organs or bones, affecting the bone marrow and producing DNA damage.

The causes of GWS, when they are viewed objectively instead of through the haze of diversion and disinformation that are served up by the government and the corporate media, prove that the Pentagon's brass knowingly used their own soldiers as disposable guinea pigs and cannon fodder, and they should be liable for such behavior. ( Documention can be found in many press articles and on the Internet.)

How the combination of these toxic and radioactive materials affect the immune system is not yet known, but the symptoms tell a lot.

These include many autoimmune symptoms and disorders; severe and chronic fatigue; chronic vomiting and diarrhea and other gastrointestinal illnesses; chronic fevers; skin sores and rashes including ones that look like giant ring worm; muscle and joint pain; severe weight loss (a wasting away); immuno-suppressant disorders similar to AIDS; heart problems, irregular heart beat; shortness of breath; headaches; bleeding and hemorrhaging; nasal congestion; twitching; oral ulcerations, blisters on the lips; swollen lymph nodes; multiple chemical sensitivities; severe muscle and joint pain and aches; chronic and severe headaches; hemorrhaging from any orifice; urinary tract infections, urinary urgency, incontinence, and other urinary and bladder and kidney disorders; nerve damage; numbness and tingling; partial paralysis; swollen lymph nodes; drooling; excessive sweating; cramping; diverticulitis; convulsions, loss of consciousness and coma; bizarre tumors and often brain stem tumors, and various radiation-caused cancers; lymphomas; leukemia; cervical cancer; severe sleep disorders, including insomnia for days at a time, night sweats; respiratory infections; an inability to function physically and mentally; neurologic and neuropsychological symptoms; Hodgkin's Disease; lymphomas; leukemia; tumors and various radiation caused cancers; Graves' Disease of the thyroid; microorganism infections; strange sensations that a body part is missing or as splashed with hot water or in ice; Multiple Sclerosis; Lou Gehrig's Disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and Guillain-Barr Syndrome-like symptoms. The female partners of affected G.I.'s and female G.I.'s are also developing ovarian cysts and tumors, cervical cancer, herpes, chlamydia; and a great number of other symptoms. Anxiety or nervousness are common, as are severe depression, deep sadness, memory loss, confusion, difficult concentration, personality changes, mood swings, irritability, violent angry rages, the need to calm down by self medicating with alcohol or drugs; and many are suicidal.

Aurum metallicum [metallic gold]
Depression caused by Gulf War Syndrome: Aurum is wonderful remedy to avoid or carefully replace anti-depressant drugs when the disposition fits. Many Anti-depressants such as Prozac and Zoloft are being prescribed by M.D.'s for the depression, grief and desperation which affects most sufferers of GWS because their lives are in ruin. They are very ill and being told it's all in their heads. Many can no longer function or work. Death and suicide is high among these vets, and the numbers are part of the cover-up. Depression, sadness, grief, and the trauma of all of the losses incured lead to suicidal tendencies, which are worse from pain, and impotency. They feel surrounded by a dark black cloud and alone, a failure and forsaken, having fallen from grace because of their losses. Self-condemnation and self-reproach about what has not been achieved and a sense of worthlessness, is followed by self-destructive attitudes. Ailments from violence.

They are prone to seasonal depressions which are worse in the darkness of winter and when the sun doesn't shine. They have a deep feeling of having "fallen from grace", as a result of their unrealized aspirations and there are losses and failures. When depressed, thay are inflexible and can't see any possibilty for changing their life. They want to die, and may talk and think cheerfully of death and suicide as a way out. Death as the solution to their suffering is very appealing and freeing to them. Financial loss or a business failure is a loss of their "golden touch: and can overwhelm their sense of self-worth.

They are very secretive and closed to keep the deep, dark secret (skeleton in the closet) hidden. The hidden factor is subtle, because they keep it from themselves and others. Like a chameleon, they need to fit in and conform so they won't be found-out or judged by others. Self-protection is always expressed in some way, and they are elusive. They are always trying to please and may change depending on who they are with. It is a very guilt ridden remedy and they may use the word "guilty" a lot, and can feel guilty for no distinctive reason. This is an aspect of self-blame and shame. The shame isn't always clinically sexual, but somehow it always affects the sexuality or is sexually expressed. There is usually some history of abuse, suppression and manipulation and they feel frail and unsafe.
