I am a vietnam vet also. I don't know if previous reply went or not.
But here we go again. I too question the fact of agent orange. I got
back and had some kind of a blood clot in one leg had to go 2 or 3
times, because they couldn't figure it out. They shot me up with
stuff, but no explanations. I have quit smoking 3 times. (If I don't
always make sense, having a strong attack.) I have been able to save
most of my limbs (till I went to VA). I put aloe on the wound lots of
Vitamins (E, niacin, C, a few others). Aspirin till I replaced it
with Gingo. For the hands I find warm water not applied directly
(till wound is somewhat healed, because of pain) is soothing and can
relief pain and help speed healing.
I still believe that this is A/O related. If it is all cigs then they
should be outlawed and any member of the board of directors from the
tobacco companies should face first degree murder charges, because
they knew they were killing people. The true enemy of the American
people. They are still using A/O in this country.
Thanks for letting me go on and on
