Mr. Edward J. Bryan685 Broadway St. Unit # 74Malden, Mass. 02148Tel. 781-321-3161The Honorable Scott Brown317 Russell Senate Office BuildingWashington, DC 20510Phone: (202) 224-4543Subject: Illnesses and Diseases without Treatments Re: Senate and House Veterans Affairs CommitteesFebruary 28, 2011Dear Senator Brown,The gulf war in 1990/1991 caseud many health issues for thousands of veterans and as a result of the above mentioned illnesses approximately 70,000 or more veterans have died and our own Government doesn’t acknowledge these veterans. We need to fix the VA system, it‘s broken. To date the U.S. Government only has one biopsy of the brain from any veteran from the 1990 war, this is un-called for. The VA doctors should do history exams on the gulf war veterans equivalent to the history’s done on the Vietnam Veterans found out about their illnesses or diseases. The U.S. Congress has had many hearings both positive and negative but without treatments. Gulf War Veterans are dying every year due to the lack of real treatments that our government will not issue. The only answer I have is to put the gulf war advocates to work under VA control and the treatment issue will go away. We do need a Neurologist as a primary care doctor and referrals to Environmental / Industrial Doctors to asses treatment plans. The VA must do more on Navigating gulf war health issues along with our returning veterans health issues. There are no coordinators at VA to help you. You have to accidentally or by chance Find this information or hunt for doctors offices, the VA is still in the dark when it comes assisting veterans. We must have focus groups and coordinators that have group meetings on how the VA systems works, as of today, there is none. The U.S. Congress should make federal regulators issue medical treatments for sick or injured gulf war veterans and returning veterans. We have tried with IOM and the institute found that military treatments were not peer reviewed and as a result couldn’t issue treatments or understand the exposures from chemical weapons or environmental insults. We need to start finding better ways to a treatment process. It has been 20 long years and veterans are dying. Please help our veterans. The treatments and planning should have been processed in the last couple of budgets, Congress should start with an emergency funding that has a starting figure of at least $ 250 million dollars to help these veterans. Dr. Haley study should be looked in to for further treatments of the brain.Sincerely yours,Edward J.
