lpq's Journal: Gulf war syndrome acknowledged as physical not psychological

Certainly no big surprise to me -- and not that it really should matter (given research on effectiveness of placebos and potential harm of 'nocebos'), but A committee of scientiests setup by the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs has reported physical causes for Gulf War Syndrome (organophosphate nerve gas, nerve gas remedies and insecticides) as reported in this New Scientist article.

And yet another of one of those "all in your head" diseases is now shown to be real. When will medical science learn -- that just because they can't find or don't know the cause doesn't mean it is psychological -- especially when large groups report similar symptoms...

Maybe this will get some vets some much needed treatment & respect (though I won't hold my breath).
