Case Study #3: Gulf War I (1991) Benefits from Chiropractic Care

4/20/11: Several years ago, a patient approached me for help with chronic diarrhea, chronic back pain, chronic headaches and occaisional pain down both legs. His case history was fascinating: he had been stationed in Saudi Arabia with the U.S. Army in a forward missle battery when an Iraqi Scud missle came whistling overhead.

The Scud was intercepted by an American Patriot missle and there was an explosion. A fine mist fell upon this man's entire unit. It was Sarin Nerve Gas. Over the course of time, those symptoms I spoke of manifested and one by one, the men of "Bill's" missle battery started dying off. Make a long story short. "Bill" (*Not his real name) came to me in utter desperation. Chiropractic "Diversified" adjustments to him helped keep his symptoms at bay, albeit temporarily. He couldn't afford chiropractic and didn't have insurance so we did a trade: since he was an IT guy, he got his chiropractic at no charge and fixed my computers when they glitched up. The end result is that chiropractic care has been the ONLY thing that has helped this War Vet since he was Gassed.

Scud missles in Iraq.

It doesn't cure, but temporarily relieves the bulk of his symptoms for days and sometimes weeks at a time. EPILOGUE: The US Government is notorious for not treating its Veterans very well, especially the wounded. My Forensic Report on his condition together with multiple citations and articles pasted right into my report helped convince the US Government and the Army that Bill actually did have a serious problem; a problem the Government had long denied. His case settled recently and Bill is getting 20 years tax free back pay and additional funds for pain and suffering for a now recognized injury; that of Sarin Nerve Gas poisoning.
