The Travels of Orange: and other toxins

by Donna Tornoe

Dr. Wayne Dwernychuk, a world-renown Agent Orange expert supported my research into the Panama Veteran. His opinion is:"When considering the Vietnam situation there is the formula employed by the Department of Veterans Affairs called presumptive service. Presumptive illness/disability for a Vietnam veteran is determined by certifying that the individual served on the ground in Vietnam or on a ship in the South China Sea anytime between 1959 and 1975. Such a certification is made by reviewing the individual's military service records (usually the DD form 214 - individual's discharge from active service document). Once the veteran has a diagnosis of one of the disabilities or diseases included on the approved list in Title 38 (US Code), they file a claim for service-connected entitlements and the claim works its way through the VA (Veterans Affairs) process. The degree (percentage) of disability awarded by VA is based upon the veteran's health at the time of filing the claim.It is my contention that military personnel serving in areas where Agent Orange or 2,4,5-T was sprayed, and not limited to the Vietnam experience, could have been exposed to the dioxin component of these two categories of herbicide, TCDD. Consequently, the presumptive service nomenclature/formula should apply to these personnel."This book proves that the dioxin TCDD was introduced into Panama.
