Hi all.

My name is Robert and I am a Vietnam Vet. Most people that know about the Vietnam war know of the herb-aside used in the war called "Agent Orange" It was after I came back to the US at the hospital having a kidney operation that I found out about "Agent Orange" So you can imagine how pist I was after learning about this.

Anyway here I am decades later with several health challenges that I have been looking for natural alternatives to recover health. Very glad to report that I did find some things that have helped me especially with chronic pain, tremors, poor memory and having to get up to go pee all night long.

Anyway, I am glad to be here. Be blessed in all that you continue to do.

Robert

Jessica, Agent Orange is a toxic cancer causing herbicide and defoliant chemical weapon, one of the "tactical use" Rainbow Herbicides. It is widely known for its use by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971. Youtube has many videos blogs.va.gov/VAntage/17744/...

Hi Robert and welcome. Just wondering if you have been back to Vietnam. I was there in 2014 and saw some very young people with severe disability as a result of Agent Orange. I also went to the war museum in Saigon and I was horrified by the photo's of kids born with unbelievable disabilities due to Agent Orange. It's such a terrible thing that it's hurting people born decades after the war. I'm glad you have found some things to help you with you're symptoms. All the best. Lola

First off.. thank u for ur service to our country ! :) Welcome to our community ! I have a family member with Agent Orange and he also is a Vietnam Vet. I have seen what it has done to him. Hes the funniest guy to talk with but being ill myself I am the same. We hide the pain we suffer from.

I suffer with the same.. have u tried medical marijuana/chiropractic or acupuncture? Has helped me ALOT.

The clue is in his name😉

Robert,

Hi, Thank you for your service! Sorry to hear about the agent orange diagnosis. I have read that it can be devestating.

I have been reading or rather listening to a video by Dr Brownstein who is a naturalpathic doctor. Anyway, he is a regular M.D. who quit his practice because conventional medicine just wasnt curing people and he became a holistic doctor. I hear in the video that he does ozone therapy and it intrigued me. I am currently reviewing information on that topic. Apparently, it has shown to have great beneficial effects on a lot of illnesses. Ill post the link to this video so you can review it yourself. You should listen to the whole thing as I cant recall how far down they start talking about Ozone treatment. Good luck to you. Judy

thank you for your service. my father is also an agent orange victim. I, as his youngest child, suffer from neurological disease as does he. it doesn't run in either side of my family... no one in his past had anything like what he's had to endure. i'm planning a hip replacement (i'm in my 30's) for the spring and just realised yesterday that he's the only one of his siblings who has had joint replacement (for him it was the knee). he's also the only one who served in Vietnam. i'm glad you've found some relief. stay strong.
