Capt.

Oh yes , Berta, thank you for your help .....I cannot find the right procedure for the doctor to write a nexus to meet their requirements properly. Can you supply that and some information for Dr. Bash and his contact info. Thanks again....C.C.

Hello and thank you all for the help ,,,,,it is really a blessing so realize I am searching for help to deal with these people. I wish I could have had all of the documents 3-4 years ago before I started getting worse. I am now behind the time frame to hold them off. I will say that the evidence from the Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation reports list the contaminates and remediation from this post. It is very compelling. Also the BRAC reports are listing 2,4,5 T, 2,4,5 DDT, 2,4,5,DDD and some others.....agent orange. Everyone thinks Alaska is so cold but actually the summers were lots of sunlight from May till Sept and the plant life exploded. Ft. Greely is 650000 acres so there was lots to do with keeping vegetation down and the AO was used and still contaminated in several sites as well as the Post Well water according to the documents. The Army prototype sm1a nuclear reactor had so much trouble, it is entombed probably longer than most of us will live. The contamination at Jarvis creek is documented and the well showed contamination also. Throw in Lead, Arsenic, Abestos and Thallium, and about 12 -14 other contaminates leading to Peripheral Neuropathy and you can see why they closed the post in 1995 and moved the Army Strategic Missle Command to another location there. Many of the sites are still under "Administrative Controls" and COPC which are something labeled as concerns, also sites as "unresolved". I am scheduled for the VA tommorrow to discuss my meds and this pain. I am going to ask him for an opinion and take him some of the documents to look at. He is probably going to give me the same "no" routine. I have contacted Jill Matthews already but may have to wait until we get some kind of ruling. I do not have the money to be able to hire Dr. Bash but would gladly like him to look at my records and maybe I can figure this out. I already have my MD examine my evidence and the documents. He has rendered the letter and signed it "at least as likely as not". He read the documents and said it was unbelievable what went on and how noone was responsible. There is actually months of reasearch available and thousand of pages of documents. One thing I have noticed . Alot of valuable documents from the EPA and DOD are there but when you try to open a link .......you guessed it , it will not open. So there is a lot of evidence that "they" will not release. The test from the nerve agents and biological weapons went on until 68 or 69 but there are many missing and unaccounted for , even UXO's . And things buried that were not suppose to be disposed of. No one watching the hen house back then and being so remote and the test post that it was...... lots of things were not done properly and according to regulations. Whether Military or Environmental. One more thing ...the protection for DOD offered by the EPA is unreal. It is such a joke how the EPA will not go up against the DOD. I know I am in for a long run but these people have more time than I do and will probably bury me before I can do anything. Once again , thank you so much for all of your help. This has been a help and you folks are on top of alot of this. C.C.

Hello and thank you so much for the link......and the welcomes......This is very overwhelming to battle this system. I did not know anything about this disease until I started getting worse and only recently about Fort Greely and all of its problems .Thousands of pages of legal documents and some still classifed as well as not able to open on the links. But I have enough to file and hopefully get something moving but it is going to be a battle. Does anyone else have any knowledge of how to bring this thing faster and my disease is going to put me not able to work real soon.....I am really not knowing what to do. Thank you again for your kindness and help. God Bless

Hello and yes I am new to this board so try and be patient with me. I have tried to pull up the link to the subject about getting a doctor to write an opinion or nexus. I have the link in another post but when I pull it up it will not open. the link is http://www.vehu.med.va.gov/v5hu/vehu2005/p.r-%20finalA.pdf . I have been fighting peripheral neuropathy for about 7 or 8 yrs and have been tested since 02 with diagnosis in 04 and 06. It is pointing to chemical contamination and I was at Fort Greely in 71-73. I have filed the claim with DAV in Feb but I am so far down the road with it that I can't rush the system to help me. I have tried to get the va neurologist to give me an opinion. I even supplied him with some evidence showing the results of contamination of the post with chemicals,,,nuclear reactor with discharging problems, agent orange contamination at sights monitored, testing of vx, sarin, nerve agents, biological weapons, lead , abestos, arsenic, and many more that cause neuropathy. I even sent him my personal doctors nexus after he reviewed all the evidence and said in his letter that "it is more likely than not that my disease is coming from the chemicals" . The Va neurologist who in his medical report, wanted to know the cause of the neuropathy. I only recently this year and have gotten all the documents concerning the contamination evidence. He said that after he reviewed this evidence it was "very compelling" but it could have come from anywhere and he was not my "primary health care doctor". He said I had to talk to him to see if he will sign an opinion. That is tomorrow and I am bringing some of the documents and will ask him to for this. I know they are "schooled" by the va not to fill out nexus that could help the vet. However I read on a post that they must if asked, to fill out opinion by law. How do you make them do this? I am going to see another neurologist this next week and try to get his opinion after he examines me an looks at the 3 emg reports from the VA and their opinions and of course my documents showing the chemicals there. I am in so much pain now that I cannot sleep and it is starting to effect my motor functions. I am taking ambian for that and the VA has been uping my dosage for the neurontin but it does not work. I am hoping to get another opinion to file with my claim as the VA is just not cooperating. I am depressed and have seen my doctor and the social worker because I can' t sleep from the pain and am having motor function problems.I am going thru depression and have told my DAV rep to file a claim for this too. Does anyone have any knowledge or can help with info about getting doctors with va to write opinions and nexus. Also what kind of battle am I in for? I am probably going to hire one of two lawyers I have talked to that I can hire after June 20,2007 (New law goes into effect)for representing me if they deny my initial and when the NOD is filed. That is assuming they deny me. Sorry for the long post but if I could show my VA doctor that he has to by law fill out an opinion then I would like that before tomorrows meeting with him. Thank you for all the good post and info. CC
