Research Narrows Cause of Gulf War Syndrome

Chemical nerve agents, PB and many of the pesticides to which Gulf Warveterans were exposed belong to a class of chemicals calledacetylcholinesterase inhib-itors.

These chemicals inactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which isessential for breaking down the neurotransmitter chemical acetylcholine, achemical which affects numerous bodily functions, according to the report.

Forsythe believes a mixture of the three items above in combination withvaccines given to Gulf War service members can't be ruled out as a possiblecause for Gulf War Syndrome.

"Forsythe believes a mixture of the three items above in combination with vaccines..."

I like how they tacked on the last part within the article (with vaccines) as if that was a secondary thought regarding Dr. Nicolson's findings.

"At first, service members were told that the illness was all in their heads. So now, it's very validating for those service members to see that there are real physical differences between themselves and the Gulf War veterans that are not ill," Forsythe said.

Lol, sounds familiar huh?  It's all in your head!!!
