Will this qualify as a condition to CAD, secondary to Agent Orange or not. Thank You

Agent Orange Time Frame
I was talking to my lawyer this morning on another subject and I asked if he was knowledgeable about agent orange. BTW, he was a judge adj(spelling) while in the military. He told me that there was a time frame to file for C&P. SO my questions is does anyone know if this true. I just had a stint put in my heart, had 95% blockage on the 25 of this month. I do have another blockage that I can see in the pictures. I am thinking my Dr. will want to do another stint next few months or next year.I have a meeting with him on the 31 of OCT.I will know more then. any input on this is appreciated. thanks, Hollis

Parkinson Dbq By My Private Nuerolgist
Currently, I'm 30% rated for PD. I will not get into the C&P Exam, been down that road. My Lawyer's have submitted an appeal, but they tell me that it will take from 1.5 to 2 years. My private doctor has agreed to complete a DBQ for me. My PD is getting much worse, more and stronger tremors, walk like a drunk old man. My dysphagia is slowly getting worse, IBS and other stomach issues are starting to take hold. It seem like I'm in a race with the VA, but the problem, I'm on a Tread Mill and the VA has a Gold Metal Winner run for them. Do you all think this DBQ could help me, or just give the VA an excuse to delay it even more? Papa

Agent Orange In Laos
Much has been said about AO use outside of RVN. We have finally seen the recognition of its use and storage on Okinawa, Korea, Guam and finally Thailand. I suppose there will be some realization eventually that it was used at Clark Air base in the PI. Allow me to introduce the subject of Laos. More AO, A blue and A white was dumped over the fence and particularly in eastern Laos along the Ho Chi Minh trail. That might not seem too obnoxious to US troops as we weren't in the habit of playing on the ground in that area. An exception would be the LRRF folks and Marine long range sniper insertions out of Da Nang. Of more import, and the reason I write today, is the vast …

95% Blockage To Heart

The card heart DR wanted to do a left heart cathization on the heart Ok that was done Tuesday the 25, he found a 95% blockage and put in a stent. he said there was another one with 70% blockage.

Just Need To Vent About My Parkinson's Disease
As some or most of you know, I went through a C&P for Parkinsons and was awarded 30%. I have through my Attorney appealed right after the ruling. My Nuerogolgist told me yesterday that he has done about all he can for me. He wants me to see a "Movement Specialist" and see if the Brain stimulator thing may help, but he does not think so. It might help my tremors, but I have started to walk like a drunk sailor. My Grandkids look at me and say, look at Grandpa do funny tricks. But, what really has gotten to me is a friend of mine who is not a veteran, was dianoized with PD. His is not even close to where mine is. He applied at the Social Security Office, and with…

A Chemical Makeup Question
Relatively new to my research here - only been doing this for about a year. I do have a question. If it sounds silly, please forgive me. If one were doing research on certain Superfund sites, and found 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T on that particular site, would it be safe to assume that Agent Orange had been used at this site? Seeing as how 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T are the chemicals that make up Agent Orange? Thanks in advance. :)
