  Agent

My	
  little	
  brother	
  Brad	
  Thomas	
  who	
  honorably	
  served	
  these	
  United	
  States	
  of	
  America	
  
for	
  more	
  than	
  half	
  of	
  his	
  life	
  inspired

  THE	
  WHEEL	
  SPEAKS	
  ON	
  2013.	
  
Yesterday	
  he	
  post	
  a	
  picture	
  on	
  facebook	
  that	
  he’d	
  taken	
  with	
  a	
  Vietnam	
  veteran	
  and	
  
had	
  also	
  reference	
  our	
  uncles	
  all	
  of	
  them	
  great	
  men	
  who	
  served	
  and	
  fought	
  in	
  the	
  
war	
  so	
  infamously	
  known	
  now	
  as	
  a	
  part	
  of	
  American	
  history	
  that	
  many	
  just	
  want	
  
and	
  wish	
  they	
  could	
  erase.	
  There	
  were	
  many	
  men	
  that	
  served	
  this	
  country	
  
unfortunately	
  at	
  the	
  time	
  just	
  teenagers	
  who	
  lost	
  their	
  lives	
  and	
  many	
  of	
  them	
  who	
  
were	
  fortunate	
  enough	
  to	
  return	
  did	
  so	
  some	
  as	
  amputees	
  or	
  some	
  in	
  a	
  mental	
  state	
  
that	
  especially	
  in	
  the	
  60’s	
  many	
  doctors	
  weren’t	
  prepared	
  to	
  adequately	
  diagnose	
  or	
  
treat.	
  In	
  particularly	
  speaking	
  of	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  and	
  how	
  it	
  devastates	
  the	
  lives	
  of	
  
those	
  having	
  been	
  directly	
  or	
  indirectly	
  expose	
  to	
  it	
  over	
  50	
  years	
  later	
  ruining	
  lives.	
  
	
  
My	
  uncle	
  Sonny	
  birth	
  name	
  George	
  Rogers	
  Jr.	
  was	
  a	
  brilliant	
  he	
  was	
  a	
  sharp	
  dresser	
  
very	
  handsome	
  but	
  the	
  thing	
  that	
  impress	
  me	
  most	
  of	
  all	
  about	
  uncle	
  Sonny	
  was	
  
how	
  smart	
  he	
  was.	
  He	
  had	
  an	
  incredibly	
  high	
  IQ	
  intelligence	
  quotient	
  which	
  didn’t	
  
mean	
  much	
  to	
  many	
  but	
  for	
  some	
  reason	
  I	
  always	
  even	
  as	
  a	
  child	
  was	
  more	
  
inquisitive	
  than	
  most	
  in	
  the	
  family	
  when	
  it	
  came	
  down	
  to	
  him.	
  	
  
	
  
  2	
  
I	
  tried	
  to	
  walk	
  like	
  him	
  and	
  talk	
  like	
  him	
  but	
  when	
  he	
  came	
  home	
  from	
  Vietnam	
  like	
  
so	
  many	
  young	
  men	
  something	
  just	
  didn’t	
  seem	
  right	
  and	
  it	
  would	
  at	
  times	
  just	
  
suddenly	
  reveal	
  itself	
  when	
  least	
  expecting	
  it.	
  Sometimes	
  my	
  uncle	
  who	
  was	
  the	
  
smoothest	
  most	
  charismatic	
  person	
  you’d	
  ever	
  want	
  to	
  see	
  would	
  suddenly	
  become	
  
violent	
  and	
  uncontrollably	
  physical	
  mannerisms	
  such	
  as	
  speaking	
  to	
  himself	
  which	
  
especially	
  for	
  me	
  and	
  my	
  brothers	
  especially	
  was	
  hard	
  to	
  relate	
  to	
  as	
  young	
  children.	
  
Then	
  finally	
  I	
  ask	
  my	
  mother	
  to	
  explain	
  what	
  was	
  wrong	
  with	
  uncle	
  Sonny	
  to	
  me	
  
because	
  she	
  would	
  always	
  tell	
  me	
  “always	
  love	
  him	
  but	
  remember	
  he’s	
  not	
  the	
  same	
  
anymore	
  and	
  he	
  can’t	
  help	
  it”	
  finally	
  she	
  explain	
  it	
  to	
  me	
  (Agent	
  Orange).	
  
It	
  became	
  very	
  real	
  to	
  me	
  one	
  day	
  when	
  I	
  was	
  about	
  12	
  years	
  old	
  and	
  I	
  saw	
  uncle	
  
Sonny	
  walking	
  on	
  Bergen	
  Avenue	
  near	
  our	
  building	
  one	
  day	
  and	
  I	
  brag	
  to	
  all	
  of	
  my	
  
friends	
  “there’s	
  my	
  cool	
  uncle	
  Sonny”	
  and	
  as	
  we	
  got	
  closer	
  it	
  was	
  obvious	
  that	
  he	
  
was	
  having	
  an	
  episode	
  from	
  cause	
  by	
  the	
  side	
  effects	
  from	
  the	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  he’d	
  
been	
  exposed	
  to	
  in	
  the	
  war.	
  It	
  destroy	
  a	
  successful	
  man	
  who	
  had	
  a	
  great	
  job	
  working	
  
as	
  an	
  engineer	
  for	
  Western	
  Electric	
  with	
  a	
  beautiful	
  home	
  and	
  adoring	
  family	
  as	
  
well.	
  All	
  lost	
  as	
  well	
  he’s	
  mental	
  awareness	
  and	
  sadly	
  eventually	
  he	
  didn’t	
  recognize	
  
anyone	
  in	
  the	
  family	
  and	
  sadly	
  this	
  happened	
  to	
  families	
  all	
  around	
  the	
  United	
  States	
  
in	
  the	
  1960’s	
  and	
  70’s	
  it	
  was	
  shameful.	
  
	
  
Agent	
  Orange	
  is	
  the	
  combination	
  of	
  the	
  code	
  names	
  for	
  Herbicide	
  Orange	
  (HO)	
  and	
  
Agent	
  LNX,	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  herbicides	
  and	
  defoliants	
  used	
  by	
  the	
  U.S.	
  military	
  as	
  part	
  of	
  
its	
  chemical	
  warfare	
  program,	
  Operation	
  Ranch	
  Hand,	
  during	
  the	
  Vietnam	
  War	
  from	
  
1961	
  to	
  1971.	
  Vietnam	
  estimates	
  400,000	
  people	
  were	
  killed	
  or	
  maimed,	
  and	
  
500,000	
  children	
  born	
  with	
  birth	
  defects	
  as	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  its	
  use.	
  	
  
The	
  Red	
  Cross	
  of	
  Vietnam	
  estimates	
  that	
  up	
  to	
  1	
  million	
  people	
  are	
  disabled	
  or	
  have	
  
health	
  problems	
  due	
  to	
  Agent	
  Orange.	
  The	
  United	
  States	
  government	
  has	
  dismissed	
  
these	
  figures	
  as	
  unreliable	
  and	
  unrealistically	
  high	
  
	
  
Agent	
  Orange	
  and	
  exposure	
  -­‐	
  About	
  3	
  million	
  people	
  served	
  in	
  the	
  US	
  military	
  in	
  
Vietnam	
  during	
  the	
  course	
  of	
  the	
  war,	
  about	
  1.5	
  million	
  of	
  whom	
  served	
  during	
  the	
  
period	
  of	
  heaviest	
  herbicide	
  spraying	
  from	
  1967	
  to	
  1969.	
  
	
  
In	
  studies	
  comparing	
  Vietnam	
  veterans	
  with	
  veterans	
  who	
  had	
  served	
  at	
  the	
  same	
  
time	
  elsewhere,	
  blood	
  TCDD	
  (dioxin)	
  levels	
  were	
  found	
  to	
  be	
  higher	
  among	
  those	
  
who	
  had	
  served	
  in	
  Vietnam,	
  although	
  these	
  levels	
  went	
  down	
  slowly	
  over	
  time.	
  
Exposure	
  to	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  varied	
  a	
  great	
  deal.	
  Most	
  of	
  the	
  large-­‐scale	
  spraying	
  in	
  
Operation	
  Ranch	
  Hand	
  was	
  done	
  with	
  airplanes	
  and	
  helicopters.	
  	
  
	
  
However,	
  some	
  herbicides	
  were	
  sprayed	
  from	
  boats	
  or	
  trucks,	
  and	
  some	
  were	
  
applied	
  by	
  soldiers	
  with	
  backpack	
  sprayers.	
  Those	
  who	
  loaded	
  airplanes	
  and	
  
helicopters	
  might	
  have	
  been	
  exposed	
  the	
  most.	
  Members	
  of	
  the	
  Army	
  Chemical	
  
Corps,	
  who	
  stored	
  and	
  mixed	
  herbicides	
  and	
  defoliated	
  the	
  perimeters	
  of	
  military	
  
bases,	
  probably	
  also	
  had	
  some	
  of	
  the	
  heaviest	
  exposures.	
  	
  
Others	
  with	
  potentially	
  heavy	
  exposures	
  included	
  members	
  of	
  Special	
  Forces	
  units	
  
who	
  defoliated	
  remote	
  campsites,	
  and	
  members	
  of	
  Navy	
  river	
  units	
  who	
  cleared	
  
base	
  perimeters.	
  
  3	
  
	
  
Exposures	
  could	
  have	
  occurred	
  when	
  the	
  chemicals	
  were	
  breathed	
  in,	
  ingested	
  in	
  
contaminated	
  food	
  or	
  drink,	
  or	
  absorbed	
  through	
  the	
  skin.	
  Exposure	
  may	
  have	
  been	
  
possible	
  through	
  the	
  eyes	
  or	
  through	
  breaks	
  in	
  the	
  skin,	
  as	
  well.	
  
One	
  of	
  the	
  challenges	
  in	
  assessing	
  the	
  health	
  effects	
  of	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  exposure	
  has	
  
been	
  determining	
  how	
  much	
  any	
  individual	
  veteran	
  was	
  exposed	
  to	
  (or	
  even	
  what	
  
they	
  were	
  exposed	
  to),	
  as	
  very	
  little	
  information	
  of	
  this	
  type	
  is	
  available.	
  
	
  
Agent	
  Orange	
  and	
  Cancer	
  -­‐	
  About	
  3	
  million	
  Americans	
  served	
  in	
  the	
  armed	
  forces	
  
in	
  Vietnam	
  and	
  nearby	
  areas	
  during	
  the	
  1960s	
  and	
  early	
  1970s,	
  the	
  time	
  of	
  the	
  
Vietnam	
  War.	
  During	
  that	
  time,	
  the	
  military	
  used	
  large	
  amounts	
  of	
  mixtures	
  known	
  
as	
  defoliants,	
  which	
  are	
  chemicals	
  that	
  cause	
  the	
  leaves	
  to	
  fall	
  off	
  plants.	
  One	
  of	
  these	
  
defoliants	
  was	
  Agent	
  Orange,	
  and	
  some	
  troops	
  were	
  exposed	
  to	
  it.	
  Many	
  years	
  later,	
  
questions	
  remain	
  about	
  the	
  lasting	
  health	
  effects	
  of	
  those	
  exposures,	
  including	
  
increases	
  in	
  cancer	
  risk.

  “exposure	
  four	
  
decades

Black	
  Men	
  and	
  Prostrate	
  Cancer	
  -­‐	
  Since	
  only	
  Black	
  men	
  are	
  dying	
  from	
  prostate	
  
cancer	
  earlier	
  and	
  at	
  twice	
  the	
  rate	
  over	
  every	
  other	
  racial	
  group,	
  medical	
  
professionals	
  might	
  as	
  well	
  now	
  throw	
  out	
  what	
  many	
  health	
  officials	
  believe	
  is	
  the	
  
best	
  test	
  for	
  detecting	
  prostate	
  cancer	
  in	
  Black	
  men.	
  
	
  
The	
  debate	
  rages	
  on	
  in	
  the	
  medical	
  community	
  under	
  the	
  recent	
  recommendation	
  
that	
  doctors	
  stop	
  offering	
  the	
  PSA	
  blood	
  test.	
  It	
  comes	
  as	
  a	
  big	
  surprise	
  to	
  local	
  
family	
  practitioner	
  Sanaa	
  Ligons.	
  The	
  Prostate	
  Specific	
  Antigen	
  test	
  is	
  always	
  one	
  of	
  
the	
  first	
  tests	
  she	
  orders	
  for	
  her	
  over-­‐50	
  male	
  patients.	
  Dr.	
  Ligons	
  at	
  the	
  Whitney	
  
Young	
  Family	
  Health	
  Clinic	
  in	
  San	
  Bernardino,	
  said	
  that	
  she	
  understands	
  that	
  the	
  
test	
  that	
  may	
  not	
  be	
  so	
  critical	
  for	
  other	
  racial	
  groups.	
  Even	
  so,	
  she	
  said	
  that	
  Black	
  
males	
  should	
  not	
  only	
  continue	
  PSA	
  testing,	
  but	
  start	
  earlier	
  than	
  the	
  current	
  
recommendations.	
  
  4	
  
"In	
  some	
  populations,	
  maybe	
  the	
  Hispanic	
  and	
  Caucasian	
  population,	
  where	
  it's	
  not	
  
so	
  frequent	
  or	
  so	
  bad,	
  it's	
  okay	
  not	
  to	
  [PSA]	
  screen,	
  but	
  for	
  African	
  American	
  males,	
  I	
  
think	
  we	
  should	
  be	
  screening	
  earlier,"	
  Dr.	
  Ligons	
  said.	
  
At	
  the	
  Whitney	
  Young	
  Clinic,	
  African	
  American	
  men	
  over	
  age	
  50	
  can	
  routinely	
  expect	
  
to	
  get	
  the	
  essentially	
  painless	
  PSA	
  test,	
  an	
  important	
  protein	
  marker	
  that	
  
determines	
  if	
  a	
  man	
  has	
  prostate	
  cancer.	
  If	
  they're	
  over	
  the	
  recommended	
  age,	
  she	
  
automatically	
  orders	
  the	
  lab.	
  
The	
  other	
  alternative-­‐the	
  dreaded	
  Digital	
  Rectal	
  Exam-­‐is	
  often	
  a	
  deal	
  breaker	
  for	
  
Black	
  males.	
  
Dr.	
  Ligons	
  said	
  the	
  clinic	
  doesn't	
  use	
  DREs	
  anymore,	
  just	
  the	
  PSA	
  because	
  it	
  is	
  more	
  
reliable	
  to	
  detect	
  the	
  cancer.	
  
When	
  men	
  get	
  their	
  annual	
  PSA,	
  it's	
  easier	
  to	
  spot	
  the	
  trend	
  over	
  time.	
  If	
  the	
  protein	
  
marker	
  rises,	
  it's	
  one	
  indicator	
  that	
  he	
  may	
  have	
  the	
  beginning	
  stages	
  of	
  the	
  cancer.	
  
With	
  that	
  earlier	
  indicator	
  comes	
  a	
  better	
  chance	
  of	
  survival.	
  
But	
  she	
  said	
  patients	
  must	
  also	
  watch	
  for	
  other	
  symptoms.	
  Urination	
  shows	
  the	
  first	
  
signs	
  of	
  trouble	
  if	
  the	
  patient	
  sees	
  a	
  slower	
  or	
  weak	
  urine	
  stream,	
  which	
  could	
  
indicate	
  prostate	
  enlargement	
  or	
  cancer.	
  Those	
  symptoms	
  could	
  be	
  benign,	
  meaning	
  
not	
  cancerous,	
  but	
  no	
  one	
  should	
  take	
  the	
  chance	
  by	
  avoiding	
  the	
  test.	
  
Black	
  men	
  are	
  most	
  likely	
  to	
  get	
  and	
  die	
  from	
  prostate	
  cancer,	
  but	
  she	
  said	
  that	
  they	
  
are	
  still	
  not	
  getting	
  better	
  about	
  walking	
  into	
  her	
  office,	
  and	
  asking	
  for	
  their	
  PSA	
  
tests.	
  
"Nope,	
  not	
  at	
  all.	
  They	
  don't	
  come	
  in	
  and	
  request	
  it,"	
  she	
  said.	
  
Recommendations

  by

  of	
  the	
  U.S.	
  Preventive	
  
Services	
  Task	
  Force,	
  and	
  is	
  being	
  criticized	
  for	
  calling	
  to	
  curb	
  PSA

particularly	
  since	
  Black	
  men	
  comprise	
  those	
  most	
  at	
  risk	
  of	
  dying	
  from	
  the	
  cancer.	
  
However,	
  they	
  reportedly	
  only	
  made	
  up	
  about	
  4%	
  of	
  the	
  Task	
  Force's	
  case	
  study.	
  
Essentially,	
  medical	
  advocates	
  argue	
  that	
  throwing	
  out	
  the	
  PSA	
  test	
  would	
  be	
  a	
  killer	
  
for	
  more	
  Black	
  men.	
  
Men's	
  Health	
  Network	
  (MHN)	
  and	
  the	
  Veterans	
  Health	
  Council	
  also	
  stand	
  strongly	
  
opposed	
  to	
  the	
  decision	
  to	
  curb	
  testing,	
  claiming	
  that	
  Vietnam-­‐era	
  veterans	
  were	
  
also	
  more	
  at	
  risk	
  from	
  over-­‐exposure	
  to	
  Agent	
  Orange.

  or

  showing	
  that

  was	
  attributed	
  to	
  a	
  45-­‐70

If	
  you	
  don't	
  know	
  already,	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  was	
  a	
  defoliant	
  used	
  in	
  Vietnam	
  to	
  
decimate	
  the	
  Southeast	
  Asian	
  jungles	
  so	
  the	
  enemy	
  couldn't	
  hide.	
  Because	
  of	
  the	
  
ingredient	
  "2,4-­‐D's"	
  links	
  to	
  Agent	
  Orange,	
  people	
  have	
  dubbed	
  the	
  GMO	
  corn	
  as	
  
"Agent	
  Orange	
  corn,"	
  but	
  that's	
  just	
  the	
  beginning	
  of	
  the	
  cancer	
  breeding	
  madness.	
  
(http://www.sott.net)	
  Most	
  of	
  the	
  U.S.	
  soldiers	
  who	
  hiked	
  through	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  
came	
  home	
  to	
  the	
  U.S.	
  with	
  cancer,	
  and	
  they	
  didn't	
  even	
  know	
  it.	
  Now,	
  most	
  
Americans	
  are	
  "walking"	
  through	
  the	
  same	
  nightmare	
  by	
  consuming	
  GMO	
  foods.	
  
What	
  is	
  the	
  cure?	
  Understand	
  this;	
  there	
  is	
  no	
  starting	
  point	
  for	
  AOFD,	
  only	
  an	
  end.	
  
People	
  must	
  use	
  their	
  common	
  sense	
  to	
  beat	
  cancer.	
  Put	
  it	
  this	
  way,	
  would	
  you	
  
spray	
  a	
  little	
  "Raid"	
  roach	
  killer	
  on	
  your	
  food	
  if	
  it	
  made	
  it	
  taste	
  better?	
  What	
  if	
  
"RAID	
  FOOD"	
  was	
  a	
  little	
  cheaper	
  than	
  organic	
  food,	
  would	
  you	
  buy	
  that	
  instead?	
  
Wake	
  up	
  and	
  smell	
  the	
  bug	
  killer!

Monsanto	
  -­‐	
  is	
  the	
  "wicked	
  witch"	
  of	
  agricultural	
  biotechnology.	
  In	
  2010,	
  the	
  
company	
  reported	
  sales	
  of	
  approximately	
  $10.5	
  billion	
  and	
  had	
  over	
  27,000	
  
employees.	
  This	
  monstrous	
  company	
  produces	
  biotechnology	
  and	
  the	
  horror	
  toxin	
  
of	
  the	
  cancer	
  epidemic	
  called	
  Roundup.	
  Other	
  Monsanto	
  products	
  include	
  the	
  now	
  
ubiquitous	
  PCBs,	
  DDT,	
  Recombinant	
  Bovine	
  Growth	
  Hormone	
  (rBGH)	
  and	
  
Aspartame.	
  Monsanto	
  is	
  one	
  of	
  the	
  "Big	
  Six"	
  biotech	
  corporations,	
  along	
  with	
  BASF,	
  
Bayer,	
  Dow	
  Chemical	
  Company,	
  Dupont,	
  and	
  Syngenta.	
  Starting	
  to	
  sound	
  familiar?	
  
Yes,	
  we	
  are	
  talking	
  about	
  Nazi	
  scientists	
  working	
  for	
  American	
  corporations	
  and

Vietnam's	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  and	
  Roundup:	
  Monsanto's	
  deadly	
  legacy.	
  August	
  of	
  2011	
  
marked	
  50	
  years	
  since	
  Agent	
  Orange	
  was	
  first	
  used	
  by	
  the	
  U.S.	
  military	
  in	
  its	
  war	
  
against	
  Vietnam,	
  and	
  its	
  effects	
  persist	
  to	
  this	
  day,	
  with	
  three	
  generations	
  of	
  exposed	
  
Vietnamese	
  families	
  and	
  American	
  veterans	
  suffering	
  from	
  horrific	
  birth	
  defects	
  and	
  
disabilities.	
  Of	
  course,	
  Monsanto	
  and	
  Dow	
  profited	
  greatly	
  from	
  its	
  production	
  and	
  
use,	
  but	
  are	
  not	
  responsible	
  for	
  reparations	
  for	
  the	
  millions	
  it	
  crippled	
  with	
  
disabilities	
  and	
  birth	
  defects.	
  Instead,	
  Monsanto	
  and	
  Dow	
  continue	
  to	
  profit	
  from	
  
their	
  poisons.	
  Today,	
  they	
  are	
  currently	
  seeking	
  approval	
  for	
  genetically	
  modified	
  
crops	
  that	
  can	
  withstand	
  massive	
  doses	
  of	
  2,4-­‐D,	
  the	
  major	
  chemical	
  agent	
  used

Monsanto's	
  best-­‐selling

  near

  soy	
  in

  are

  as	
  those	
  found	
  in	
  the	
  Agent

  of	
  Vietnam.	
  	
  
	
  
Roundup,	
  the	
  most	
  widely	
  used	
  herbicide	
  in	
  the	
  world,	
  causes	
  endocrine	
  
disruption,	
  damage	
  to	
  reproductive	
  organs	
  and	
  to	
  DNA,	
  and	
  it	
  causes

  have	
  
in	
  common?	
  They	
  all	
  kill	
  bugs,	
  weeds,	
  rats	
  and	
  humans,	
  but	
  still	
  most	
  Americans	
  
have	
  NO

  Crack

  as	
  the

  addictive	
  form	
  of	
  cocaine,

Agent Orange Food Disorder: One Family's Struggle

  • 1.   1     THE  WHEEL  SPEAKS  ON  2013  –  Agent  Orange  Food  Disorder     My  little  brother  Brad  Thomas  who  honorably  served  these  United  States  of  America   for  more  than  half  of  his  life  inspired  this  feature  of  THE  WHEEL  SPEAKS  ON  2013.   Yesterday  he  post  a  picture  on  facebook  that  he’d  taken  with  a  Vietnam  veteran  and   had  also  reference  our  uncles  all  of  them  great  men  who  served  and  fought  in  the   war  so  infamously  known  now  as  a  part  of  American  history  that  many  just  want   and  wish  they  could  erase.  There  were  many  men  that  served  this  country   unfortunately  at  the  time  just  teenagers  who  lost  their  lives  and  many  of  them  who   were  fortunate  enough  to  return  did  so  some  as  amputees  or  some  in  a  mental  state   that  especially  in  the  60’s  many  doctors  weren’t  prepared  to  adequately  diagnose  or   treat.  In  particularly  speaking  of  Agent  Orange  and  how  it  devastates  the  lives  of   those  having  been  directly  or  indirectly  expose  to  it  over  50  years  later  ruining  lives.     My  uncle  Sonny  birth  name  George  Rogers  Jr.  was  a  brilliant  he  was  a  sharp  dresser   very  handsome  but  the  thing  that  impress  me  most  of  all  about  uncle  Sonny  was   how  smart  he  was.  He  had  an  incredibly  high  IQ  intelligence  quotient  which  didn’t   mean  much  to  many  but  for  some  reason  I  always  even  as  a  child  was  more   inquisitive  than  most  in  the  family  when  it  came  down  to  him.      
  • 2.   2   I  tried  to  walk  like  him  and  talk  like  him  but  when  he  came  home  from  Vietnam  like   so  many  young  men  something  just  didn’t  seem  right  and  it  would  at  times  just   suddenly  reveal  itself  when  least  expecting  it.  Sometimes  my  uncle  who  was  the   smoothest  most  charismatic  person  you’d  ever  want  to  see  would  suddenly  become   violent  and  uncontrollably  physical  mannerisms  such  as  speaking  to  himself  which   especially  for  me  and  my  brothers  especially  was  hard  to  relate  to  as  young  children.   Then  finally  I  ask  my  mother  to  explain  what  was  wrong  with  uncle  Sonny  to  me   because  she  would  always  tell  me  “always  love  him  but  remember  he’s  not  the  same   anymore  and  he  can’t  help  it”  finally  she  explain  it  to  me  (Agent  Orange).   It  became  very  real  to  me  one  day  when  I  was  about  12  years  old  and  I  saw  uncle   Sonny  walking  on  Bergen  Avenue  near  our  building  one  day  and  I  brag  to  all  of  my   friends  “there’s  my  cool  uncle  Sonny”  and  as  we  got  closer  it  was  obvious  that  he   was  having  an  episode  from  cause  by  the  side  effects  from  the  Agent  Orange  he’d   been  exposed  to  in  the  war.  It  destroy  a  successful  man  who  had  a  great  job  working   as  an  engineer  for  Western  Electric  with  a  beautiful  home  and  adoring  family  as   well.  All  lost  as  well  he’s  mental  awareness  and  sadly  eventually  he  didn’t  recognize   anyone  in  the  family  and  sadly  this  happened  to  families  all  around  the  United  States   in  the  1960’s  and  70’s  it  was  shameful.     Agent  Orange  is  the  combination  of  the  code  names  for  Herbicide  Orange  (HO)  and   Agent  LNX,  one  of  the  herbicides  and  defoliants  used  by  the  U.S.  military  as  part  of   its  chemical  warfare  program,  Operation  Ranch  Hand,  during  the  Vietnam  War  from   1961  to  1971.  Vietnam  estimates  400,000  people  were  killed  or  maimed,  and   500,000  children  born  with  birth  defects  as  a  result  of  its  use.     The  Red  Cross  of  Vietnam  estimates  that  up  to  1  million  people  are  disabled  or  have   health  problems  due  to  Agent  Orange.  The  United  States  government  has  dismissed   these  figures  as  unreliable  and  unrealistically  high     Agent  Orange  and  exposure  -­‐  About  3  million  people  served  in  the  US  military  in   Vietnam  during  the  course  of  the  war,  about  1.5  million  of  whom  served  during  the   period  of  heaviest  herbicide  spraying  from  1967  to  1969.     In  studies  comparing  Vietnam  veterans  with  veterans  who  had  served  at  the  same   time  elsewhere,  blood  TCDD  (dioxin)  levels  were  found  to  be  higher  among  those   who  had  served  in  Vietnam,  although  these  levels  went  down  slowly  over  time.   Exposure  to  Agent  Orange  varied  a  great  deal.  Most  of  the  large-­‐scale  spraying  in   Operation  Ranch  Hand  was  done  with  airplanes  and  helicopters.       However,  some  herbicides  were  sprayed  from  boats  or  trucks,  and  some  were   applied  by  soldiers  with  backpack  sprayers.  Those  who  loaded  airplanes  and   helicopters  might  have  been  exposed  the  most.  Members  of  the  Army  Chemical   Corps,  who  stored  and  mixed  herbicides  and  defoliated  the  perimeters  of  military   bases,  probably  also  had  some  of  the  heaviest  exposures.     Others  with  potentially  heavy  exposures  included  members  of  Special  Forces  units   who  defoliated  remote  campsites,  and  members  of  Navy  river  units  who  cleared   base  perimeters.  
  • 3.   3     Exposures  could  have  occurred  when  the  chemicals  were  breathed  in,  ingested  in   contaminated  food  or  drink,  or  absorbed  through  the  skin.  Exposure  may  have  been   possible  through  the  eyes  or  through  breaks  in  the  skin,  as  well.   One  of  the  challenges  in  assessing  the  health  effects  of  Agent  Orange  exposure  has   been  determining  how  much  any  individual  veteran  was  exposed  to  (or  even  what   they  were  exposed  to),  as  very  little  information  of  this  type  is  available.     Agent  Orange  and  Cancer  -­‐  About  3  million  Americans  served  in  the  armed  forces   in  Vietnam  and  nearby  areas  during  the  1960s  and  early  1970s,  the  time  of  the   Vietnam  War.  During  that  time,  the  military  used  large  amounts  of  mixtures  known   as  defoliants,  which  are  chemicals  that  cause  the  leaves  to  fall  off  plants.  One  of  these   defoliants  was  Agent  Orange,  and  some  troops  were  exposed  to  it.  Many  years  later,   questions  remain  about  the  lasting  health  effects  of  those  exposures,  including   increases  in  cancer  risk.     (Please  review  this  informative  website  facilitated  by  the  American  Cancer  Society  which   provides  detailed  information  about  the  correlation  of  Agent  Orange  and  cancer   http://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancercauses/othercarcinogens/intheworkplace/agent-­‐ orange-­‐and-­‐cancer  )     And  in  a  featured  article  provided  by  ABC  News  on  May  23rd  it  states  “exposure  four   decades  ago  to  Agent  Orange  in  the  Vietnam  War  appears  to  boost  veterans'  risk  for  a   recurrence  of  prostate  cancer  even  after  the  organ  is  surgically  removed,  a  new  study   shows.  And  if  the  cancer  does  return,  it  tends  to  be  more  aggressive  among  veterans   exposed  to  Agent  Orange  than  in  those  not  exposed  to  the  chemical  defoliant,  the   researchers  found.  Black  veterans  are  especially  vulnerable  to  these  tough-­‐to-­‐treat   recurrences,  the  researchers  said.”  (Please  review  this  informative  article  by  ABC  News   which  provides  detailed  information   http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Healthday/story?id=4507180&page=1  )     Black  Men  and  Prostrate  Cancer  -­‐  Since  only  Black  men  are  dying  from  prostate   cancer  earlier  and  at  twice  the  rate  over  every  other  racial  group,  medical   professionals  might  as  well  now  throw  out  what  many  health  officials  believe  is  the   best  test  for  detecting  prostate  cancer  in  Black  men.     The  debate  rages  on  in  the  medical  community  under  the  recent  recommendation   that  doctors  stop  offering  the  PSA  blood  test.  It  comes  as  a  big  surprise  to  local   family  practitioner  Sanaa  Ligons.  The  Prostate  Specific  Antigen  test  is  always  one  of   the  first  tests  she  orders  for  her  over-­‐50  male  patients.  Dr.  Ligons  at  the  Whitney   Young  Family  Health  Clinic  in  San  Bernardino,  said  that  she  understands  that  the   test  that  may  not  be  so  critical  for  other  racial  groups.  Even  so,  she  said  that  Black   males  should  not  only  continue  PSA  testing,  but  start  earlier  than  the  current   recommendations.  
  • 4.   4   "In  some  populations,  maybe  the  Hispanic  and  Caucasian  population,  where  it's  not   so  frequent  or  so  bad,  it's  okay  not  to  [PSA]  screen,  but  for  African  American  males,  I   think  we  should  be  screening  earlier,"  Dr.  Ligons  said.   At  the  Whitney  Young  Clinic,  African  American  men  over  age  50  can  routinely  expect   to  get  the  essentially  painless  PSA  test,  an  important  protein  marker  that   determines  if  a  man  has  prostate  cancer.  If  they're  over  the  recommended  age,  she   automatically  orders  the  lab.   The  other  alternative-­‐the  dreaded  Digital  Rectal  Exam-­‐is  often  a  deal  breaker  for   Black  males.   Dr.  Ligons  said  the  clinic  doesn't  use  DREs  anymore,  just  the  PSA  because  it  is  more   reliable  to  detect  the  cancer.   When  men  get  their  annual  PSA,  it's  easier  to  spot  the  trend  over  time.  If  the  protein   marker  rises,  it's  one  indicator  that  he  may  have  the  beginning  stages  of  the  cancer.   With  that  earlier  indicator  comes  a  better  chance  of  survival.   But  she  said  patients  must  also  watch  for  other  symptoms.  Urination  shows  the  first   signs  of  trouble  if  the  patient  sees  a  slower  or  weak  urine  stream,  which  could   indicate  prostate  enlargement  or  cancer.  Those  symptoms  could  be  benign,  meaning   not  cancerous,  but  no  one  should  take  the  chance  by  avoiding  the  test.   Black  men  are  most  likely  to  get  and  die  from  prostate  cancer,  but  she  said  that  they   are  still  not  getting  better  about  walking  into  her  office,  and  asking  for  their  PSA   tests.   "Nope,  not  at  all.  They  don't  come  in  and  request  it,"  she  said.   Recommendations  on  prostate  screening  come  by  way  of  the  U.S.  Preventive   Services  Task  Force,  and  is  being  criticized  for  calling  to  curb  PSA  testing,   particularly  since  Black  men  comprise  those  most  at  risk  of  dying  from  the  cancer.   However,  they  reportedly  only  made  up  about  4%  of  the  Task  Force's  case  study.   Essentially,  medical  advocates  argue  that  throwing  out  the  PSA  test  would  be  a  killer   for  more  Black  men.   Men's  Health  Network  (MHN)  and  the  Veterans  Health  Council  also  stand  strongly   opposed  to  the  decision  to  curb  testing,  claiming  that  Vietnam-­‐era  veterans  were   also  more  at  risk  from  over-­‐exposure  to  Agent  Orange.     The  group  blasted  the  Task  Force  for  not  consulting  with  the  National  Cancer   Institute,  or  its  studies  showing  that  PSA  screening  was  attributed  to  a  45-­‐70   percent  decline  in  death  rate,  as  presented  at  the  annual  African  American  Prostate   Cancer  Disparity  Summit  last  year.     "The  recommendation  against  PSA  testing  puts  men's  lives  in  jeopardy  as  they  will   be  discouraged  from  getting  screened  for  prostate  cancer.  This  especially  affects   African-­‐American  men,  men  exposed  to  Agent  Orange,  and  men  with  a  family   history,  all  of  whom  are  at  greatest  risk  of  developing  prostate  cancer  and  dying   from  the  disease.  In  the  U.S.  alone,  30,000  men  die  from  prostate  cancer  annually,  a   staggering  number.  Early  detection  is  key  and  PSA  testing  is  the  best  available  tool,   reducing  prostate  cancer  mortality  by  40  percent  since  its  inception,"  commented   Ana  Fadich,  MPH,  CHES,  Director  of  Programs  and  Health  Promotion  at  MHN.
