To those of you that want to know more on the subject of d/u:

This information was reported by Melissa A. McDiarmid, And her reporting has flaws in it. They are as follows,

1). Treated as a Heavy Metal Poison
2). 24 hr sampling of urine
3). Whole body scan ( at special site' Boston )
4). D/U crosses the blood brain barrier in rats ( neuro )
5). They look at Retinol Binding Protein " In the urine they found a greater ( > ) 0.010 ug/g of Creatinine value
6). Musculoskeletal System
7). Cardiovascular System
8). Psychiatric Problems
9). Hematologic Parameters H / L Urine
10). Platelets Highest
11). Neutrophils 2nd Highest
12). Hematocrit 3rd Highest
13). Mann-Whitney Test
14). Neuro-cognitive - No Values ( But broke the blood brain barrier )
15). Reproductive Function ( Total sperm count ) High, Low
H583.5
L202.8
This Probabely caused the Testical Cancers

16). Leukemia No Data
17). 300 out of 12 needed more testing
18). Most of the Subjects are Young Active Duty Scouts 24-34 yrs
19). One scout ID ( H012 ) has a count of .103 ( 2/99 )
20). No Renal Function Problems

This Blind Study,

Analysis of Uranium in Urine by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

As a veteran trying to understand this ordeal, Before this meeting I had a talk with the Armed Forces Rabiobiology Research Institute , Informed me that this blind study d/u is distributed to various parts of the body, especially Kidney and Bone also the Thyroid

This test also showed a high level of ( ACID ) producing levels in the stomache.

As of today no lung testing, Just a study from ( Uranium Workers ), Not the factory workers, The " STARMET FACTORYS " DO NOT HAVE A EPIDEMIOLOGICAL DATA BASE SET IN PLACE. The factorys that caused the pollution through-out this great nation.

This problem produces free radicals in the body, And any vitamins that will help are the ANTI-OXIDANTS GROUPS.

No reporting on any Neurological problems from this study.

No Thyroid testing reporting

Whenever you have this test ( Request The Lower Limit Values )

The 2 two veterans that died 1 from a car accident, and the other had a shoulder an operation and developed cancer .

Like I said before, The cancers take 15 years (?) to develop in the human body, The U.S. Goverment missed the boat on reporting on this one.

Stay tuned for the mass d.p.h. study of depleted uranium in febuary meeting.
