Could agent orange sprayed in Vietnam have caused my bones to deteriate (bone density) ?

Answer 1

Agents Orange, White, and Blue (all herbicides) and their contaminants were used all over Vietnam. Operation Ranch Hand was how the program was refered to.

I know, I sprayed the sh!t and can even tell you that Orange tasted like garlic. Touch it and soon you were tasting it.

Get yourself tested by the Registry listed below. The VA has admitted some diseases are caused by Orange.

Here is what the VA currently recognizes (keep plugging away if you and your doctor believe you have a good case, though):

Chloracne or other acneform disease consistent with chloracne. (Must occur within one year of exposure to Agent Orange).

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Diabetes Mellitus, Type II

Hodgkin’s disease.

Multiple myeloma.

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Acute and subacute peripheral neuropathy. (For purposes of this section, the term acute and subacute peripheral neuropathy means temporary peripheral neuropathy that appears within weeks or months of exposure to an herbicide agent and resolves within two years of the date of onset.)

Porphyria cutanea tarda. (Must occur within one year of exposure to Agent Orange).

Prostate cancer.

Respiratory cancers (cancer of the lung, bronchus, larynx, or trachea).

Soft-tissue sarcoma (other than osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, or mesothelioma).

Best of luck, my brother. It took them 30 years to recognize that my bad knee due to torture was service connected. If they reject your claim keep working on it.

I'm not sure what it can do, but i do know my dad was in Vietnam and got sprayed with agent orange....he spent the rest of his life after that with major problems.....he had heart failure.....artheritis....many strokes and many surgeries until he finally died from a stroke he couldn't recover from......shortly after his death a woman contacted my mom who said she was the wife of a man who served in Vietnam with my dad who through the years went through the same things my dad went through....I'm not exactly sure what agent orange was or the effects it had on people....but i do know what my dad went through caused by what happened to him in Vietnam.....it was horrible......who knows what else agent orange can do to people.

Answer 3

This chemical had many terrible effects. So many vets have died because they were exposed to it. Check and see if there is a class action lawsuit against the government or the military. Call the VA hospital and see if they know anything, but they will probably lie.

Answer 4

Where you in Vietnam or a solder in vietnam at the time?

Answer 5
