But Gulf War Syndrome is not one cause, not one illness. It is many causes, many illnesses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think there is one cause of Gulf War illness.
This gulf war syndrome thing is truly unfortunate, and I've met some of the vets who have this. These are my guys, and I feel terrible about it.
What some of us believe is that it is possible that if chemicals are related to Gulf War illness that some of the more severe symptoms may not erupt until 10 or 20 years down the line.
Cancer is not one disease but many diseases.
There's never been anything like the so-called Vietnam Syndrome: it's mostly a fabrication.
An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.
The number one root of all illness, as we know, is stress.
I believe a lot of disease comes from anxiety, loneliness.
We saw in 2003 the beginnings of an outbreak of an illness called SARS. SARS ended up killing 800 people which is a significant number of deaths, but nowhere near as high as it could have been.
War is just an effect, not a cause.
